New Opening Theme by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

The opening theme for the final cour of Dr. STONE is the brand new track “Skins,” written and performed by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION. The energetic song accompanies the newly released PV and sets the tone for the climactic final arc of the series.

■Comment from Masafumi Gotoh (ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION)
Lately I have been thinking that perhaps it is we in the real world, outside the anime, who should start rebuilding civilization from the ground up. I hope that beyond an era when everyone can truly travel to the Moon, a bright future awaits us. I wrote this song for Dr. STONE as a piece for dancing while carrying our various worries and differences.

Seiichiro Yamashita Cast as SAI

It has also been announced that Seiichiro Yamashita will voice SAI, described as “the man with the greatest mathematical ability in humanity.” SAI is a key figure in the lunar landing project that Ryusui identifies as essential to Senku’s mission.

■Comment from Seiichiro Yamashita
When reading the original manga, what struck me most strongly was the preciousness of life. While the story traces the history of humanity, it also features unique inventions and discoveries along with powerful human drama. Senku and his companions have continued to create something from nothing, over and over again. Their next goal lies ahead, and I hope you look forward to seeing how SAI and his mathematical abilities will support them. To all Dr. STONE fans, I look forward to joining you on this journey.

A Rocket to the Moon: Humanity’s Ultimate Scientific Challenge

The newly released PV shows Senku forming the strongest alliance with Xeno as they challenge the construction of a moon rocket, the most difficult craft ever attempted in the history of Dr. STONE. The video also introduces SAI, whose extraordinary mathematical ability will play a crucial role in the lunar mission.

In order to reclaim the future of humanity, the Kingdom of Science travels across the world gathering materials for the rocket. Their grand journey unfolds alongside the powerful and fast paced opening theme “Skins” by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.
