Story of Dr.STONE Season4

After an intense battle on Treasure Island, Senku and his allies safely returned to the Kingdom of Science.

Using the petrification device they obtained, they successfully revived Tsukasa from his cold sleep. Now a trusted ally of the Kingdom of Science, Tsukasa joins their ranks! Meanwhile, Senku uncovered the shocking truth—the mastermind behind humanity's petrification, Why-Man, is based on the Moon.

Determined to confront Why-Man, Senku and his team set their sights on the Moon. In this Stone World, they embark on a monumental project: building a spaceship from scratch!

To gather the necessary materials for the spacecraft, they take to the seas aboard the Perseus, heading into the vast ocean. Their first destination is the Americas, where they aim to secure a large supply of corn, the key ingredient for the revival fluid.

However, what awaits them at the end of this daring voyage is a formidable threat that will challenge their courage, unity, and scientific prowess to the limit.

At last, Senku’s adventures are expanding beyond the world—and into space! To save the future of humanity, Senku and his friends will push the boundaries of science with all their might!

Theme Songs: ALI and BREIMEN Lead the Way

The opening theme, "CASANOVA POSSE," is performed by ALI, a group known for their eclectic blend of funk, soul, and jazz. Their energetic track promises to match the grandeur of the anime’s story.

BREIMEN, a five-member band with a knack for unconventional sounds, will provide the ending theme, "Rolling Stone." This song takes inspiration from the American interpretation of the proverb "A rolling stone gathers no moss," reflecting the relentless drive of the series’ characters and their journey across the post-apocalyptic world.
