With science, Humanity defeated the "night".
  • After being petrified, Senku realizes that if he wants to survive, he'll have to stay conscious the whole time, forcing himself to endure an over 3700-year long And I Must Scream scenario through raw willpower alone. He kept himself focused the whole time by counting the seconds so he could keep track of what time it is, which comes out to 116,763,120,000 seconds! Taiju, meanwhile, stays conscious through the Stone Reckoning just by thinking about his feelings for Yuzuriha.
  • When Taiju meets up with Senku, Senku is able to tell him the exact date. How? Because he counted the seconds the whole time he was frozen.
  • Tsukasa has Yuzuriha hostage for the revival fluid recipe. When Senku tries to bluff his way out, Tsukasa chops off Yuzuriha's hair in a show of force. Yuzuriha's response? Brush it off by claiming he did her a favor by shortening her hair then prop his stone blade against her own damn neck before telling Senku not give in to Tsukasa's demands to assure his own safety. This then leads to Senku's own moment where he tells Tsukasa anyway, because no matter how important the recipe is or how dangerous Tsukasa may be, Senku's not going to let his friend die in front of him.
  • When Senku, Yuzuriha, and Taijuu's plan to inhibit Tsukasa is put into action. Sure, Yuzuriha and Taijuu think Senku got his neck snapped, but the teamwork these three displayed in order to cause a gunpowder explosion was nothing short of exciting.
  • Kohaku first shows her chops as The Big Guy by taking on Tsukasa with nothing but her fists and a pair of knives. The fight doesn't reach a proper conclusion however, as Tsukasa incapacitates her by pinning her down with a tree, but she still put up a good fight regardless.
    • Turns out her training is carrying buckets of mineral water that are half her size and weigh fifty kilograms. Multiple buckets, every day; she does this through hill and jungle.
  • Senku's compound pulley is a perfect demonstration of the power of science leveling the playing field. The same tree that Tsukasa knocked down, he was able to lift up. As he himself puts it, this knowledge can "make a skinny high school nerd like me as strong as Hercules!"
  • The fact that Chrome has managed to figure out so many scientific principles in the Stone Age, without ANY sort of modern knowledge. He may not be as smart as Senku but he has just as much passion and potential. Senku himself is amazed at his collection, thinking that it must have taken years to assemble.
  • The creation of the magnet is amazing no matter how you look at it. From a science perspective, Senku successfully created a magnet capable of generating electricity in the most difficult and primitive of circumstances and he did it by successfully predicting when and where a lightning bolt would strike. From a more fantastical perspective, it looks like he summoned a lightning god from the heavens and commanded it to impart a magical property on an item he created through sorcery.
  • Senku, with the help of the Stone Village, successfully creates an electric-powered lightbulb. His boast about how humanity defeated the night with science is epic, and we are talking about something that seems mundane!
    Senku: In our time, there is no darkness. Light bulbs erased night from the world. With old man Edison's incandescent light bulb, we claimed all 24 hours of the day for our own. With science, Humanity defeated the "night". It's been 3700 years since its light shone on Earth. And although it didn't last more than a second, its light was nothing like the light of fire. Dazzlingly white, the light of science!
  • Old Man Kaseki manages to make nice glassware in minutes. Note that he'd never seen glass in his life before, and everything he knew of its properties was observed from Senku and Chrome's hilariously inept attempts. Senku gazes in honest admiration of skills earned through fifty years of practice and dedication.
  • Kinro vs. Magma. At first, Kinro is struggling against his opponent due to his nearsightedness. Yet, despite this, he's still not completely outmatched. Then Suika manages to arrive just in time to lend him her helmet... although a melon hat is quite possibly the least badass-looking accessory one can wear, suddenly obtaining perfect vision is enough to almost instantly tilt the advantage back to Kinro's side. The anime makes it even better with this amazing music playing in the background. Unfortunately, the moment is somewhat nullified when Magma tricks Kinro into doubting the legitimacy of wearing the helmet, and hitting him In the Back while he's consulting with the referee... but that doesn't make it less chill-inducing right before that happens.
    Kinro: Let me teach you, Magma... Had science helped me conquer my eyes, I would have surpassed your strength long ago.
  • Chapter 38: Chrome's plan to defeat Magma. Using a lens from Suika's glasses-mask (which was smashed by Magma when he fought Kinrou), he used his sweat & tears to turn it convex and direct it into the sun. With Asagiri reappearing and distracting Magma for a minute, Chrome successfully sets Magma's clothes on fire and knocks him out of the ring with a Groin Attack. Good for a guy all about science.
  • Chapter 46: The Stone War begins as Tsukasa sends his forces to attack Ishigami Village just in case Senku was alive and using them to found his "kingdom of science." The leader of the assault, Hyoga, is said to be as much of a threat in combat as Tsukasa himself. True to this reputation, he nearly kills Kinro in a one-on-one fight. Even so, they manage to drive the attackers away for the moment by having Magma throw a stone with great force at the same time that Senku uses a small amount of gunpowder that he'd saved up to create a flash, allowing him and Gen to sell the illusion that he's manufactured guns.
    • Please note that beyond using the gunpowder, everything was Gen's quick thinking.
  • Chapter 47: In order to combat Tsukasa's forces in case they return during a storm, thus rendering gunpower useless, Senku gets Kaseki to forge katanas for the warriors of Ishigami Village to wield!
    • Even better. A katana typically takes two weeks to make. Kaseki made at least eight (admittedly-crude versions) in three days.
    • For that battle, Senku did put an end to the Stone Age for the Ishigami village, and bought the Iron Age. For the battle, oficially graduated from being Doctor Stone, and became The Iron Man!
  • Chapter 48: Another for Gen: With Suika's help, he managed to mess with Hyouga's spear enough to save Kohaku from impalement, as well as doing it subtly enough that the latter never even noticed it until it was in the heat of a battle.
  • Chapter 52: Chrome, after having a flash of inspiration from seeing Senku build a gear for their cotton candy machine, goes ahead and builds a freaking WATER WHEEL with Kaseki! Even Senku is impressed that Chrome managed to build something so advanced with zero knowledge of how to build one.
    • And then to capitalize on Chrome's inspiration, Senku upgrades the water wheel into a hydroelectric generator!
  • Chapter 57: Senku, having seen Chrome can build advanced tools like a water wheel without his input, gives Chrome and the rest of Ishigami Village a science test to see whether they can create a strand of tungsten filament (which requires around 3400 celsius of heat to melt) with only a few tips from him. By using all the knowledge he taught them and some ingenuity, Chrome and Kaseki manage to build a (very crude) device for creating tungsten filaments.
  • Season 2, Episode 2: As Senku and the team prep-up the crude-yet-effective "cell phones", they use equally-crude-yet-effective bombs in order to use the loud sounds generated by them to lure away Homura as the team in charge of setting up the secondary Cell Phone pack rush past the now-distracted Homura to set up the Cell Phone pack near the Empire of Might's village. As Homura makes her way to the source of the explosions, Kohaku nearly manages to hit her neck with the flat side of her katana. As the two are nearly-equal in speed, she manages to push Homura near Ishigami village. Once nearly there, Senku rushes to the oncoming Homura to unveil a curious light bulb-tipped contraption, throws it up into the air near where Homura is approaching and dons a curious set of eye protection ware. What is said contraption you might ask? A freakin' crude-yet-VERY-effective flash grenade! Although they don't capture her, it's still manages to temporarily take down Homura regardless.
    Senku: Curious, aren't ya? Turn your peepers over this way and take a real good look. Check out my shocking science gadget, level 2. It's a flash grenade.
  • Chapter 66: Senku estimates Lillian's record sales and body measurements with just a picture of her and the cost of a Soyuz seat. He gets the record sales dead-on, but unfortunately, the person drilling him only knows her publicized measurements.
  • Chapter 70: A threefer.
    • First, after creating a steam-powered vehicle to rescue Chrome in, he upgrades it into an armored tank by combining paper with plastic to create plates of carbon fiber. He shows off just how strong it is by having Kinro attack him with a spear while he's holding nothing but what appears to be a paper shield. Kinro's spear ends up shattering on impact.
    • Second, Tsukasa shows once again that his strategic thinking is on par with Senku's. He assumed that a steam engine would be within Senku's capacity to build, so he imprisoned Chrome in a highly visible spot that would invite a ramming attack to break him free, then hid deadly pitfall traps along the route up to it.
    • Third, after Chrome finds out about the traps and has a moment of panic, he realizes that he is the only person who can save the others from falling prey to Tsukasa's ruse. As such, he resolves to stop waiting for rescue, and instead use the knowledge he's gained to free himself.
  • Chapter 71&72: Chrome makes good on his determination to escape. He gets some help from a mysterious benefactor smuggling a battery into his cell, but other than that it's an entire sequence of using what he's learned from Senku and Gen combined with his own innate talents to break out of his cell and evade his pursuers. He even manages to One-Hit KO the warden assigned to keep him locked up (someone who was trained as a police officer) by distracting him with a very effective bluff first.
    • The whole sequence deserves explanation.
      • His first idea (using the battery to set fire to the cell's ropes) gets interrupted when the guards see the sparks, but when they assume that he did so by rubbing sticks together he plays into their assumption that he's a primitive idiot who thinks common knowledge (such as boiling seawater to get salt) makes him a genius science-user like Senku, getting them to laugh off the idea that he could escape on his own.
      • He then comes up with the idea to make acid using the battery and salt water (recalling Senku teaching him about sodium hydroxide), which he obtains by spending the entire night working up a sweat and wringing out his clothes into a cup. Yes, everything after this is Chrome running on no sleep.
      • After using the acid to burn the ropes of his cell, he takes out two of the guards with one of the bamboo poles from the cell and pole vaults over one of the pit traps and makes his escape across the open field, having memorized where the traps are and knowing that the guards are too terrified of the warden to risk triggering and exposing one of the pits themselves.
      • Chrome finds himself cornered by the warden at the top of a waterfall, and quickly learns that he's no match for the guy in a straight-up fight. He falls to his knees and starts "vomiting blood" (actually red fluid from some of the plants he'd taken while trying to gather supplies for his escape attempt), feigning that he has pneumonia and freaking the warden out by reminding him just how deadly it is without the medicines that Tsukasa's army can't make. He spits "blood" at the warden, distracting him long enough to take him out with a Groin Attack, incapacitating him long enough for Chrome to slip away.
  • Chapter 73: We find out the reason Ukyo hasn't chosen a side yet. With his sharp hearing, he realized that Yuzuriha was up to something, so he spied on her to find out what. Turns out, Yuzuriha has been steadily piecing back together the statues that Tsukasa and his men are breaking because she knows if she can do it quickly enough, they can still be revived later. That is quite possibly the most badass thing in the entire manga so far. And how does she find the time to do this? Simple. She's led everyone to believe that she spends each night sewing up a new set of clothes when in reality she can do it in a matter of seconds.
  • Chapter 75: Senku has created a satellite dish and is using it to redirect the sound and force of explosives, creating a sonic cannon to neutralize the enemy without killing them. When they run out of explosives to use in the thing, does Senku figure out an alternative strategy? Nope, Taiju does, utilizing his own absurd physical power to not only scream into the dish to create even more force than the bombs, but also withstands the blast himself. Bonus points to Senku and Chrome catching on immediately and aiming the dish for him.
    • Also, Ukyo and Nicky showing up to prevent word from getting back to Tsukasa early is pretty awesome, but what really sells it is how many people have come with them. As many people who do buy into Tsukasa's vision, and as many as are going along with him for their own goals, there's plenty who acknowledge how wrong he is.
  • Chapter 81 has Senku and Tsukasa working together to beat Hyouga. Despite Tsukasa dying from the stabbing he got earlier, he still manages to put up a good enough fight while Senku ignites a trail of gunpowder. And then Tsukasa wears down Hyouga enough for Senku to finish the job with a primitive yet very potent stun gun.
  • Chapter 87 provides a major one for Yuzuriha, for those who know anything about clothes design. With nothing but hemp cloth, she sets up making clothes as a side business - clothes that wouldn't look out of place in a high-end department store, including a three-piece suit!
  • Chapter 90 gives Ryusui an understated one. Since his appearance, everything's been about controlling the world for him. He's affable, but he's made it clear that he basically wants to control the world's supply of oil and thereby own the world itself. But the instant he sees the grief of Turquoise and a number of older inhabitants of Ishigami Village, he immediately sets aside his interest in oil and exploration, in favor of pursuing agriculture, purely so he won't have to see such grief again. In that instant, Ryusui makes it clear that sating his own greed never comes at the expense of others.
  • Chapters 86-98 could be considered one long montage of the process in making the ship, but it's actually amazing to see a primitive Stone-Age village slowly progress step by step in various fields of agriculture, machinery, metal-working, craftsmanship and of course, science. Because of Senku's knowledge and all the manpower from both the Village and the Empire of Might, the level of technology jumped from the level of primitive tools to the industrial revolution in just one year.
  • Chapter 99: It takes lots of work and numerous advances in the level of tools they have available, but the Kingdom of Science manages to finish building their ship the Perseus in a year, beating Senku's projected timetable. The full-page shot of it with everyone standing beside it shows just how massive an undertaking it must have been to build, as well as signs of the modern technology built into its design.
  • Chapter 106: Amaryllis' backstory, which reveals she's been working to become the most beautiful girl on the island so she can kill their leader. This goal started when she was TEN, and she barely managed to escape being petrified herself. And she escaped petrification by ripping off a good chunk of her hair, with her BARE HANDS.
  • Chapter 109: Ginrou and Suika manage to get the lab off the boat, without anybody finding out what it really is. Suika even acts as a getaway driver, WITHOUT her glasses, in the dead of night, working only from memory!
  • Chapter 115: Everyone seems disappointed when Senku is only able to find a single sand grain of platinum in the sand that Kohaku retrieved for them, but Senku points out that platinum is so rare, it's not a surprise, and he should be thankful they have even this much, even if a fingertip's worth would be ideal. Then we find out that Byakuya, even while doing everything else he had done to help Senku in the future, even after outlasting all the other astronauts, continued to pan a river for decades afterward, collecting gold and platinum for Senku until he literally dropped dead in the river. His last thoughts were of his son. And how much platinum did he get? An entire test tube's worth. Good Parents indeed.
    • This flashback is intercut with scenes of the still-petrified Senku counting up the seconds. If you do the math, Byakuya spent over 32 years panning that same river, even as his health gave out and the other villagers questioned his sanity. And now you know where Senku's uncompromising determination comes from.
    • It's important to note that the pile of sand Senku was sifting through was only as much as Kohaku could transport. There isn't any reason to think that there wasn't even more platinum left behind in the time capsule.
  • Chapter 116: What exactly was the platinum needed for? A critical catalyst in creating nitric acid. Senku now has the ability to de-petrify everyone. This made that single sand grain worth of platinum from the previous episode worth that much more, and even more for the test tube worth of platinum, as being catalyst it is not consumed in the synthesis, thus just a single grain of platinum sand is enough to produce nitric acid ad infinitum.
  • Chapter 118: Ryusui, Soyuz, and Gen manage an amazing feat of communication, especially considering two of them are underwater!
  • Chapter 121: With Ginrou near death after being impaled by Minister Ibara's talon-like fingernails, Kohaku passes on Ginrou's discovery (that the Master is actually a statue) to Amaryllis, then heads to the tallest point in the base with Ginrou to shout out the truth to the enemy. As she planned, this force Ibara to order Kirisame to petrify them, and Kohaku and Ginrou both smile knowing that Senku will de-petrify them and heal Ginrou's fatal injuries.
  • Chapter 123: The titular Battle of Wits is a big one for Gen and showcases his abilities as The Social Expert of the group. He faces off Mozu, a massive Blood Knight who can kill him and his party in a few seconds. In just one chapter, through a combination of subtle sociological tricks, Blatant Lies, Metaphorically True, and plain old Reverse Psychology, Gen manages to convince Mozu to give into his The Starscream tendencies and strike a temporary truce with Senku in order to bring Minister Ibara down. And the best part is that Mozu is manipulated into thinking it was all his idea!
    • Even better, the aftermath reveals that Gen was scared shitless the entire time he was talking to Mozu, and it took him all he had not to turn into a Nervous Wreck in front of him. Yet he managed to keep his wits about, to not panic and to save everyone with his negotiation skills. He truly is a man amongst men.
  • Chapter 131: Yo successfully retrieves the gun, and shoots Ibara's hand just as he's about to use the petrification device on the island.
  • Chapter 132: Hyoga is completely overpowered by Mozu, which results in him fleeing off the side of the ship. Mozu follows while bragging about how powerful he is, and how he never had to train a day in his life, following Hyoga onto the shore. However, it's revealed that the reason Hyoga fled onto the island is because he knew Senku and the others would head there, working to make the final thing he needs to win, a bamboo pipe for him to utilize his Owari-Kan-Ryu style with. When he gets it, Hyoga immediately turns the tables on Mozu and levels him in seconds.
    • Which he follows up with a "The Reason You Suck" Speech that throws humanity's modus operandi into Mozu's face and mocks his talent.
      Hyoga: We further polish what we inherit, and as we die, we pass it down to the next generation. Against that eternal, perpetual diligence, one lone genius...cannot possibly hope to win.
  • Chapter 133 features what might be Chrome's finest moment yet; faced with the threat of a petrification wave covering the whole island, he thinks back to the time the Medusa was first used on the docked Perseus and uses the information he learned from watching it to find a way for Senku to survive.
  • Chapter 135:
    • This chapter reveals how Senku survived Ibara using the Medusa weapon to petrify the entire island - the rest of the Kingdom of Science quickly organized themselves to stand equally spaced in the path of the petrification beam (essentially turning themselves into a human chain measuring tape), allowing Senku to estimate its velocity and determine the exact moment to throw up a clay flask of revival fluid, which then landed back on him and counteracted his own impending petrification.
    • At the end of the chapter, Senku then jury-rigs the Mobile Lab to run over Ibara, preventing him from retrieving the Medusa he had just dropped.
  • Chapter 136: When Senku was throwing chemical bottles at Ibara, it's later revealed that it was a distraction so he could sneakily throw a bottle of revival fluid at Ryusui to revive him. Ryusui quickly figures out what's happening and goes to retrieve a communication earring from the petrified Mozu to listen to Senku's directions and sends the drone into the air as Ibara throws the Medusa.
  • Chapter 137:
    • Senku and Ryusui's final stand against Ibara. They do a tug of war with the drone in the hopes of sending the Medusa to him. But he throws his hat at the device and sends it back. Ryusui runs towards it, getting petrified again, making Ibara believe he was trying to stop it with brute force. However, that was a distraction to plant the communication earring onto the Medusa, allowing Senku's voice to reach close enough to activate it as Senku sets it to go off in 1 second, covering a distance of 5 meters, leaving Ibara no time to discard the Medusa or flee from its range, finally petrifying him and winning Senku the battle.
    • To sum up why Senku won. If it weren't for Chrome's plan to set a scale with everyone for Senku to calculate the Medusa beam ratio, Ukyo telling him last minute how Medusa activates by voice command, and Ryusui's ability to catch up at the exact moment and assist him flawlessly, Senku would've lost completely to Ibara. This reinforces Senku's belief that Science needs the collaboration of a community to advance.
  • Chapter 139: Senku takes advantage of the Whyman's attempt to have Medusa turn the Earth to stone again to locate where he is. Namely, on the moon. And they've decided to build a space shuttle to head there.
  • Chapter 141: At long last, with both Medusa and the revival fluid, they finally save Tsukasa from his fatal wounds by Hyoga, and they now have the Strongest Primate High Schooler on their side.
  • Chapter 147: Chrome uses calcite he found in his exploration to recreate the sunstone, the same prism Vikings used to navigate from Europe to America. Even under storm clouds, the Perseus can use theirs to find the sun and maintain a path to America.
  • Chapter 150:
    • Somehow, someone was not only able to make a fully functioning machine gun, but also a freaking airplane!
    • The Perseus crew is able to bring it down for their own use when Kirisame throws a flask of Acetylene Gas (made by Senku) towards its engine.
  • Chapter 151:
    • If you thought what Senku accomplished so far was crazy, Dr. Xeno has vastly outpaced him. Building a whole castle, tractors, and a machine to provide EKG readings. That's on top of the plane and machine guns shown in the last couple chapters.
      • Though it's made slightly less awesome by the fact that he had access to a ring made from platinum almost from the moment he awoke, and the fact he didn't have anyone that opposed him during the years he'd been awake.
  • Chapter 157:
    • Senku and Taiju weren't the only ones that spent 3000+ years thinking. Xeno, Stanley, Luna, and her two followers also spent thousands of years thinking. With Xeno awakening at the same time as Senku.
  • Chapter 159:
    • A villainous example. Dr. Xeno is able to estimate Senku's current height by using a recent voice recording from his communication with the Perseus.
    • Upon learning the sniper Stanley is about to take a shot at him, Senku rushes to the kitchen and uses a mixture of water and potato starch to create a make-shift bulletproof shield. The next chapter revealed that thanks to his "shield," the bullet fragments passed through him cleanly. While he was still gravely injured, it was able to keep him alive.
  • Chapter 160: Senku appointing Chrome as the new lead scientist of the Kingdom of Science. Chrome's expression in the last panel is pure badassery.
  • Chapter 161: After having been made the new head scientist, Chrome immediately proves himself worthy of the title by inventing plans for a mining drill all on his own to dig a tunnel into Dr. Xeno's base.
  • Chapter 163:
    • Senku continuing to give instructions to turn the Perseus into their aircraft carrier and prepare their captured plane for flight, despite injuries such as blood in the lung.
    • Senku regaining enough strength thanks to Luna and Yuzuriha to join Ryusui in an aerial dog fight against Stanley
  • Chapter 166:
    • Matsukaze and Moz fighting off the invasion force, combining the skills from both before and after the Petrification to outmatch the mooks. They only faced the real challenge when the real Stanley arrives.
    • Just as Xeno prepares to call checkmate with Stanley defeating Matsukaze and Moz, Senku counteracts with his own check: Tsukasa and the others breaking through his guards to meet the enemy leader face-to-face.
  • Chapter 167:
    • Senku casually giving Xeno's army the recipe for the de-petrification processes. This allows them to claim Corn City.
  • Chapter 171: Senku, Xeno, and Chrome are able to combine experience and calculations to pinpoint the latitude and longitude of where the petrification originated in South America (specifically, the city of Manaus, Brazil), bringing them closer to solving the mystery.
  • Chapter 181:
    • Senku builds a stealth ship to aid in the escape from Stanley.
    • Chrome has another flash of genius when he realizes that if the Medusas were not noticed despite being dropped in such massive amounts, they must be invisible to radars, and could be used to improve the stealth ship. Chrome has officially gone from living in a primitive stone age society to inventing something that surpasses modern-day tech!
  • Chapter 182: Even without an expert scientist like Senku or Dr. Xeno, the Perseus crew in America were able to create a diamond through Senku's instruction, trial-and-error, and determination, proving science is accessible to all. This means the Kingdom of Science now has a means of restoring the Medusas to working condition.
  • Chapter 186:
    • Francois and Suika are captured by Stanley's forces. However, Francois is able to send a transmission to Senku and the others giving them Stanely's exact location and the upper hand in the battle to come.
    • Ginro's attempt to rescue Suika. While it failed, it's the thought that counts.
  • Chapter 190: Joel receives a cryptic message from South America that gives him the knowledge necessary to create a functioning diamond battery for the Medusas. As he points out, time is now the only obstacle in the way of having unlimited petrification devices.
  • Chapter 196:
    • Using only the instructions left by Senku, Suika managed to re-create the revival fluid all by herself.
    • While it's an Offscreen Moment of Awesome, at the end of the chapter we learn that Suika managed to survive on her own in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest for four to five years so that she could complete the formula and save everyone. And she did it all without corrective lenses, even though she's Blind Without 'Em!
  • In Chapter 203, the crew need to navigate the Suez canal, only to find that it's blocked off by a naturally-formed dam. The alternative route would require waiting around for over a year to gather enough fuel, so they have no choice but to clear the way. How do they do it? By using a remote-controlled cruise missile to blow up the obstruction! This truly shows how far Senku's science has gone at this point.
  • Chapter 208, in order to create a computer, they need to create a calculator. To test it out, they hold a Mathlympics match with Chrome, Senku, Sai... and a visable nervous Magma. Gen challenges them with an elaborate math problem with multiple 5+ digi numbers. While Chrome is stumped, Senku takes time to think about it, and Sai has to write out all his work, Ukyo gestures for Magma to use the calculator, he instantly gets the answer with Senku and Sai both confirming it's correct. With the calculator, science takes a massive leap forward and Magma can only look at it with awe.
  • Chapter 214: After the Medusa activates on its own, it sends a petrification wave heading to Senku and Ryusui. Once Senku confirms that they are safe, the two calmly stand before the wave... and smile as it comes to a stop before them. As it turns out, the various petrification events had lead them to discover that the rate of the wave is proportional to how far the wave will go, which allows them to predict where the wave will stop.
  • Chapter 224: Senku achieves his dream. He goes into space.
  • Chapter 232: Senku's newest project with his friends and the Why Man? A time machine. Science-fiction is becoming science.
