Z=2: Fantasy vs. Science
HAVING SO MUCH STAMINA HONESTLY SEEMS LIKE CHEATING, TAIJU. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE HAUL!
Edible
MUGWORT! FOOD!
WHITE BEECHES! FOOD!
AMANITA MUSCARIA! POISONOUS!
YOU CAN TELL THEY'RE BAD NEWS BY HOW THEY LOOK. THEY'RE MARIO MUSHROOM LOOK-ALIKES!
AMANITA VIROSA! POISONOUS!
WOLF'S BANE! YOU TRYING TO KILL ME, FOOL?
JUST SALT EXTRACTED FROM SEAWATER. PEOPLE CAN EAT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING IF IT'S SALTED.
ALSO, SALT ACTS AS A GREAT PRESERVATIVE FOR FOOD. IT WAS PRIMEVAL MAN'S GREATEST DISCOVERY.
WHAT'D YOU SEASON THIS WITH?!
THANKS, SENKU, FOR PRETTY MUCH EVERY- THING!
WOOO! OFF TO SEARCH IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!!
I MIGHT NOT BE GOOD AT CREATIVE THINKING, BUT...
...I'LL MAKE UP FOR IT WITH SPIRIT AND EFFORT!
NEVER GONNA KNOW BY WONDERING. JUST GOTTA TRY!
WILD GRAPES?
CAN I EAT 'EM?
ISN'T THIS WHERE I WAS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS?
THAT CAVE...
WHAT'S...
... THIS?!
THERE MUST BE OTHER SURVIVORS BESIDES ME AND SENKU!!
SOMEONE MUST'VE LEFT THIS HERE!
IT WAS ME, FOOL.
YOU?!
ARGH! GUESS WE'RE REALLY... ...THE ONLY PEOPLE LEFT ON EARTH...!
BUT HUMANITY DOESN'T HAVE MUCH OF A FUTURE IF WE TWO DUDES DECIDE TO JUST LIVE OUT OUR DAYS IDLY!
HUMANITY WILL RISE AGAIN!!
E=mc²
MAKING THAT HAPPEN IS OUR TOP PRIORITY.
TRUE!
THE STONE ROTTED AWAY?
3,700 YEARS PASSED BY.
YES. THIS MYSTERIOUS ORE CORRODED.
SO...HOW DID WE FREE OURSELVES FROM BEING PETRIFIED?
WE CAN TELL THIS MUCH.
HEH HEH... BUT ISN'T IT ODD THAT WE BROKE FREE AT NEARLY THE SAME TIME? 3,700 YEARS LATER, SEPARATED BY ONLY SIX MONTHS?
THERE MUST BE A RATIONAL EXPLANATION BEHIND SUCH A COINCIDENCE !!
WE BOTH WASHED UP NEAR THIS CAVE, FOR ONE.
LOOK. SEE THAT DRIPPING ?
IT'S A MIRACULOUS LIQUID, CREATED BY THE BATS' GUANO.
NITRIC ACID!
I THOUGHT AS MUCH, YOU BIG OAF.
DID YOU SAY NITRIC ACID?!
WUZZAT?!
SORRY, SENKU, I STILL DON'T GET IT!!
EXPLAINING IN DETAIL WOULD BE A PAIN, SO I WON'T.
SO...YOU POUR THIS WHATCHA- MACALLIT ACID ON THERE...
IF ONLY IT WERE THAT SIMPLE.
...AND THE STONE ROTS AWAY, REVIVING THE BIRD, RIGHT?
LABORATORY
I'VE ALREADY TRIED THIS A CRAZY NUMBER OF TIMES... ...WITH DIFFERENT METHODS AND DIFFERENT FACTORS.
OVER AND OVER.
REPEATEDLY ...
WE'RE IN THE REALM OF THE FANTASTIC, HERE.
ARE THEY STONE THROUGH AND THROUGH, OR ARE THEIR CELLS INTACT?
I LACK THE EQUIPMENT TO RUN PROPER EXPERIMENTS.
...THAT EVEN SCIENCE CAN'T EXPLAIN ...? YOU MEAN THERE ARE SOME THINGS...
HEH HEH... THAT'S SO CLICHÉ.
IF WE ONLY HAD SOME BOOZE...
SCIENCE DEMANDS DILI- GENCE. THIS IS WHY WE FORM HYPOTHESES AND PERFORM EXPERIMENTS!
WE COULD COMBINE THE ALCOHOL, OR ETHANOL...
...WITH THE NITRIC ACID... ...TO PRODUCE A LIQUID KNOWN AS NITAL.
IT'S AN INDUSTRIAL- STRENGTH CORROSIVE AGENT.
大の 醸
OH? ABOUT THE NITAL? IT REVEALS THE GRAIN BOUNDARY OF FERRITES AND-
ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID JUST NOW...
HEY, SENKU...
"IF WE ONLY HAD SOME BOOZE."
NOT THAT PART! I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL THAT MUMBO JUMBO!
WITH THESE GRAPES ...
...WE CAN MAKE WINE!
EXCELLENT WORK!
YOU BIG OAF!!
OH YEAHHH!
NATURALLY, I SHOULD LEAVE THE MANUAL LABOR TO YOU AND YOUR INEXHAUSTIBLE STAMINA.
OH! OF COURSE.
IT'S ONLY RATIONAL.
THREE WEEKS.
JUST ABOUT TIME.
HOW TO MAKE WINE
IT'S REALLY WINE! WHO KNEW IT WOULD BE THIS EASY TO MAKE WITH JUST A FEW GRAPES...!
OH! BETTER THAN I IMAGINED.
Anyone can do it
IT'S STILL TEN BILLION TIMES WORSE THAN THE WORST MASS- PRODUCED WINE.
JUST SMASH SOME GRAPES AND RAISINS, PUT THEM IN A BOTTLE AND YOU'RE DONE! HEH HEH... MAKING MOONSHINE IS ILLEGAL, THOUGH!!
STIR DAILY
E=mc²
STEP BY STEP, DILIGENTLY!
AN INTRODUCTION TO DISTILLING WINE INTO BRANDY!!
THIS NEXT PART IS GONNA BE A LITTLE MORE TEDIOUS...
...CREATED CERAMICS LIKE THIS. BEHOLD! EVEN THE MESO- POTAMIAN CIVILIZATIONS OF 3,000 B.C....
NOTHING LEFT TO DO BUT TO DO IT!
I DON'T GET IT!! WHAT'S "DISTILLING"?
BY HEATING, COOLING AND LETTING THE WINE CONDENSE, WE RAISE THE RELATIVE ALCOHOL CONTENT.
I CAN'T WAIT!!
I THOUGHT AS MUCH.
LABORATORY
WE SHOULD PROBABLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT FOR PURELY HYGIENIC REASONS. GETTING SICK OUT HERE WOULD BE GAME OVER.
YUZURIHA..
...IS GONNA HATE THIS!
SHELLS
E=mc²
RATHER, WE SEARCH FOR RULES AND PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE INEXPLICABLE ... ...AND APPLY GOOD OLD DILIGENCE AND EFFORT.
LET THIS BE A LESSON, YOU BIG OAF.
IT'S NOT THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS EVEN SCIENCE CAN'T EXPLAIN.
THAT'S ALL THAT SCIENCE REALLY IS...!
WO
W O W W W W W !!
E=mc²
IT HAPPENED SOONER THAN I THOUGHT.
THIS MUST BE TRIAL NUMBER 100-AND- SOMETHING, RIGHT? WE STARTED EXPERI- MENTING A YEAR AGO.
THAT'S DILIGENCE FOR YA.
WE CAN TRIUMPH OVER THE FANTASTIC ... ...WITH THE POWER OF SCIENCE.
GET EXCITED!
TAIJU. THE GRAPES WERE YOUR IDEA TO BEGIN WITH...
THE ANSWER...
...SO YOU GET TO DECIDE WHOM WE SAVE FIRST.
THANKS, SENKU!
...IS WAY OBVIOUS!!
Underage drinking?
At over 3,700 years old. I think I'm good.
Chapter Summary
Hey manga fans! Let's dive into what readers are buzzing about for Dr. Stone (Official) Chapter 2! It seems Senku's genius is truly hitting home, as many are humorously inspired by his sheer intellect.
One of the recurring jokes in the comments is the resounding call to "Stay at school, kids!" 😂 Apparently, Senku's incredible knowledge makes a compelling case for formal education. Some even had a very specific (and hilarious) takeaway from the chapter: the most crucial skill to learn in school is "how to make alcohol!" 🍸 Guess those chemistry lessons suddenly got way more appealing, right?
Readers are also getting a kick out of Senku himself, noting with amusement that despite his adult-level intelligence and maturity, he's hilariously "trapped in that young teenager look for now" thanks to the petrification. It's a fun little quirk that adds to his unique charm!
Overall, it's clear Dr. Stone (Official) Chapter 2 is a hit, leaving readers entertained, amused, and perhaps just a little bit more motivated to brush up on their science skills!
