** Senku's mental image of tungsten as "the king of heat-resistant metals" is Film/{{Godzilla}} with the English word "TUNGSTEN" making up his back spines.

It received [[http://moetron.net/post/180117974480/a-tv-anime-adaptation-of-riichiro-inagakis-manga an anime adaptation in 2019]] from Creator/TMSEntertainment with Creator/YuusukeKobayashi as our spiky-haired ScienceHero. Creator/{{Funimation}} produced an English simuldub with Creator/AaronDismuke as Senku, which joined the Creator/{{Toonami}} lineup on August 25, 2019. Season 2, which adapts the "Stone Wars" arc, premiered on January 14th, 2021. A third season has been announced.

* BladeOnAStick: In the Stone World, spears are a very common weapon, which makes sense as they're easy to craft out of primitive materials while still being highly effective. Kinro, Ginro, and Hyoga are the most notable spearmen.

* YouDontWantToCatchThis: Chrome is captured by Tsukasa's Empire of Might but manages to pull off a jailbreak. The jailer Yo chases him down, but Chrome [[spoiler:psychs him out with fake BloodFromTheMouth and lies about having pneumonia. While Yo is recoiling in fear, Chrome [[GroinAttack hits him between the legs]] with a bamboo pole and escapes.]]

* BreakingTheBonds: When Chrome brings a tied-up Kaseki to the lab to get him to help them, Kaseki flexes hard enough to break the ropes, revealing he's super ripped. A RunningGag after that is him [[ClothingDamage doing the same thing to his clothes]] when he's excited to try a new technology.

* CorrectionBait: Senku needs knowledge of glassblowing, which has been lost for 3700 years. So he gets his friends to tie up the craftsman Kaseki and forces him to watch his failed attempts at glassblowing. Soon enough, Kaseki is infuriated enough to burst free from his ropes and show Senku how it's done... even though up until now, he had no idea what glass even was (even though he doesn't know precisely what glass is, he has enough general knowledge of crafting that can transfer over to glassblowing).

* DoingInTheWizard: Senku, naturally. Notably, the mysteries of petrification are [[MagicAIsMagicA slowly learned using the scientific method]].

* ThemeNaming: Kohaku's village of 40 has names based off of various rocks, metals, gems, and minerals. [[spoiler: All except one...]]

** [[spoiler: The battle between the Kingdom of Science and the Empire of Might truly ends with Senku and Tsukasa joining together to defeat the psychotic Hyoga.]]
** [[spoiler: Following the second petrification event and his revival, [[EmperorScientist Dr. Xeno]] recognizes the threat of the Why-Man, and agrees to cooperate with Senku to create a rocket to the moon and stop him]].

** Hyoga: "You've done well".

* CatchPhrase:

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Lillian Weinberg's singing voice is provided by British actress Laura Pitt-Pulford, meaning the English is 100% accurate (if a little nonsensical due to some of the lyrical choices); her English VA Caitlin Glass later [[https://twitter.com/caitlinsvoice/status/1197363751344910336 clarified]] that the songs weren't redubbed for the US release.

* TheThingThatGoesDoink: Francois has Kaseki build a RubeGoldbergDevice using one of these to take a timed photograph.

* OffModel: A minor example, but in most color pages, Ryusui's petrification scars are entirely absent. [[spoiler: They appear to have been healed following his second revival. The same goes for Taiju, Yuzuriha, and presumably everyone else who will undergo a second revival.]]

** In the outro for the anime adaptations 3rd season 'Where Do We Go'? at 0:55 an image of a glowing skull is briefly shown.[[spoiler: The skull is actually a blatant depiction of the [[GreaterScopeVillain Whyman's]] true form, which is revealed in chapter 228, down to the glowing black spots in the eye sockets and mouth.]]

* DanBrowned: The science portrayed in the series is fairy accurate, if "sometimes" exaggerated for the same of being cool, and names the people consulted by the author for information. There are a few big inaccuracies in it though:
** ''Amanita muscaria'' mushrooms are not poisonous and can be legally gathered for consumption in most of the United States. They do contain psychoactive chemicals, but these can easily be removed during preparation. This is brought up again and corrected during Senku's conversation with [[spoiler:Tsukasa as he gets ready to freeze him]], where he doesn't describe it as a deadly poison, instead pointing out that it can cause hallucinations if eaten in large quantities.
** The crew travels to what would be Araxá on the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais to look for mineral resources, only to later need to gather iron ore elsewhere from the remains of the Perseus and from Isla Martin Garcia on Argentina. Chelsea outright claims that "there's no iron in this part of South America", which is not true. The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Quadrangle Iron Quadrangle]] metallogenetic province right there on Minas was just completely ignored by the story.

* LastSecondWordSwap: When Kohaku asks Kinro and Ginro what they think of her sister Ruri, Ginro says she's got "[[BuxomIsBetter huge ti]]... er... [[UnusualEuphemism huge tides of cuteness]] that just wash me away...". When Kinro admonishes him for only caring about her appearance, he responds "I said I dig her big ol' ti... tides... didn't I?"

* ChildHater: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Tsukasa. He's a teenager with murderous hate for all adults.
