I’m glad I haven’t accidentally spoiled anything- I don’t think I’ve said much past Treasure Island. Are you excited for the season in Jan? I’m very excited to see how they translate it, and what they cut/add.
I’m a little nervous bc I heard this is the final season they’re making, but there’s a lot more arcs ahead, so idk if they’re going to rush it or just cut it off or what.
Spoilers for all of Anime, as well as vague descriptions of later arcs
I def agree, Senkuu is the best leader shown in Dr. Stone and he does work well bc he’s science focused and most of civilization is also science focused. (Trying to avoid spoilers) Later in the story they encounter a group of people who directly oppose most of their values, a have to work with them. About here is when I would exchange Senkuu’s leadership with the 5 Generals, as things become more complicated.
It would be very funny to have an episode where Senkuu has to drop all the science and craft a legal system lmao.
I agree that Hyoga fighting Moz instead of Senkuu is evidence Hyoga supports women(idk that sentence is so funny. Hyoga supports women’s rights and women’s wrongs). To delve into more character stuff, I think this moment could also be tied to Hyoga’s interest in “incredible people.” He wanted to keep most people in stone and only revive petrified people who possess extraordinary skills, to create like a super powerful human race. In this situation, it’s either help Senkuu, who he says himself is on his level, or Moz, a strong enough guy but lacking awareness and also hates women. Hyoga chooses to help Senkuu as 1. He has that interest in Senkuu, and 2. Disagrees with Moz, thinking he is not an “incredible person.”
I totally agree with you, I just wanted to delve into his character, which I rarely get to do bc I don’t like him lol.
It’s totally cool that you’re an anime only watcher! I myself have read all the manga because I hyperfixated and needed to know what happened next IMMEDIATELY lmao. I actually prefer watching the anime, as having the characters audibly read their lines lets me focus more on the art and story beats, which is harder while reading. I’ll do my best to avoid manga spoilers!
For my next question… Who is your favorite character and why? Doesn’t have to be a complex reason, it could just be a feeling.

i’ve said this in like multiple of my posts but cobra kai would’ve benefited from having more than 10.. im thinking 15-20 episodes in a season, with obviously better writers as well as having the run time for an episode be up to an hour or just over that.
writing this season was very buns lol. like very, the characters in ck universe deserved better than what ever the hell the writers gave them. all of them.
they try and fit so much plot into 5 episodes with said episodes only being 30-37 minutes. maybe it would’ve been fine for seasons 1 and 2. more so the earlier seasons. but they introduced so many ‘new’ characters who need good arcs and developments and also the plot.
why did they have tory have a brother if they weren’t gonna expand on that. he’s strictly used as a plot device. i genuinely forget she has a brother until it’s mentioned. the writers could’ve done so much with that if they cared enough i think.
it’s like they add shit for characters for plot and they don’t understand how to expand on it so it’s just left unanswered.
for example: made episode 5 all about tory’s mothers death.. yet in part 2 she’s only mentioned twice (none by tory herself) and we see her playing with that bottle cap from the flashback. where is her grieving, how’s her mental state? what’s going through her mind?
moving on there are so many things that could’ve been expanded on like johnny and robby’s relationship, friendships could’ve been built, relationships too. i’m not gonna just solely place blame.. they (writers) didn’t know how big ck would be in the future but still lol.
as you introduce more characters and the plot changes, surely some things would change along with that and it just hasn’t 😖
doesn’t help that writers love showing their favourites and obvious bias as well lol. for season 6 writers have just been scrambling trying to find out ways for drama to continue or just stupid plots for the story.
while i see what angle they’re aiming for .. shit could’ve been done literally so much better. as i said, with better writers.
i don’t watch enough movies or tv shows to know who to name but i’m sure plenty of writers in Hollywood would’ve been able to do a better job for sure.
like there’s way too many things that just don’t make sense, and so many things that i would change when it comes to plot, introducing new characters and the arc they would have among plenty other issues.
uhm that’s all i think.
