In Episode 1 of the anime, the story lightly recaps past events while clearly laying out future goals! The journey to save petrified humanity begins moving toward the end of the story......!

The anime has been adapted periodically, but to briefly summarize the story...... One day, humanity was petrified by a mysterious light from the sky. After a long time, a small portion of humanity, including the protagonist Senku, was accidentally freed from petrification and regained their freedom. Senku uses all the scientific knowledge at his disposal to find a way to restore the petrified humans in a devastated Earth, but......

In Episode 1, the plan to produce alcohol from corn, known as a key ingredient in bourbon, to mass-produce revival fluid and unpetrify many people is recapped! They've already made progress in creating the unpetrification formula, but producing enough for all of humanity is a huge challenge. To make that possible, they need corn, which leads them to the American continent, famous for its corn production!

On the American continent, two new characters await......! Both are especially popular in the manga! Dr. Xeno and Stanley Snyder will soon make their debut!

●Dr. Xeno

●Stanley Snyder

Now, in the final chapter, the plan to revive humanity reaches its climax. This means the enemy characters are also the most powerful in the series......! That’s why, in this final chapter, these two characters who are also incredibly popular in the manga, Dr. Xeno and Stanley Snyder, are set to appear! They've already made appearances in the opening, but...... What kind of roles will they play, and what kind of enemies will they be for Senku? The final chapter will be aired over three split cours, so be sure to check it out!
