The first episode of Dr. Stone Season 4 is here, and it starts with an exciting and intense debate between Senku and Ryusui. The two leaders of the Kingdom of Science have a big decision to make about the future of their journey.
The Big Problem: Which Route to Take?
Senku and Ryusui are preparing for their next adventure—crossing the sea to discover new sources. However, they cannot decide on the route that would be the best for them. Senku prefers a dangerous route that is tough but fast. He thinks that if they go through this route, they will reach their destination in no time and can begin using the sources immediately. Speed is the priority for Senku. Ryusui, however, has a different idea. He suggests taking a longer but safer route. As a skilled sailor, Ryusui knows how risky the sea can be. His main concern is the safety of the crew. He thinks it’s better to take their time and avoid unnecessary dangers, even if it means a longer trip.
The Debate: Safety vs. Speed
The discussion soon leads to a full-blown argument. Both of them are robust leaders with a different opinion. Senku believes that efficiency and speed are important factors, while Ryusui would not compromise by risking everyone’s lives. The crew anxiously watches the argument between the two leaders. It can be seen that both sides had valid points. It is quite difficult to make the right call. This might affect the whole mission and people’s survival in the process.
The Solution: A Game of Poker
Senku and Ryusui settle the argument by playing a game of poker. The winner gets to decide which route the crew takes. This game is not just about luck; it is a battle of wits and strategy. The poker game intensifies. Ryusui gets outsmarted by Senku, who keeps using his probability knowledge to strategize against the other and also cheats in the game using lacquer. Instead, Ryusui uses only his intuition with experience and also cheats in the game with the help of Gen. They are so glued to each other in a serious game of poker. In the end, Senku wins the match. With this victory, he decides that the crew will take the hard, fast route. Senku is sure that they can face whatever challenge comes their way despite the risks.
A New Adventure Begins
