Recap of Dr. Stone: Science Future Part 2 Episode 6: “Diamond Heart”

Episode 6 marked a turning point in the Science Future arc, featuring major reveals and inventive problem-solving that Dr. Stone is known for. The story resumed with Senku’s crew facing the challenging task of crossing the Andes Mountains. Their solution? A ropeway system, a clever example of the Kingdom of Science’s “no problem too big” philosophy. Tensions ran high during this journey. Some team members worried that Hyoga, with his morally flexible background, might betray them and side with Xeno. However, those fears turned out to be unfounded for now, as Hyoga remained loyal to the mission.

Upon reaching their destination, the crew was met with an awe-inspiring and ominous sight: an entire hill of Medusa devices, the petrification weapons that changed the course of humanity. It wasn’t just a handful; there were potentially millions, glinting under the sun.

At first glance, many thought they were gold, but the truth was revealed when the lighting shifted: all silver, their eerie uniformity broken only by the occasional damaged diamond inside.

Naturally, Senku’s first instinct was to put science to work. He and his team began testing the Medusa units, but quickly discovered that all of them were out of battery. Disappointing? Yes. But in true Dr. Stone fashion, the Kingdom of Science turned a setback into an opportunity.

With no fear of triggering an active device, they could break apart as many Medusas as needed for research. Tsukasa saw the tactical potential, while Chrome, as always, brought fresh thinking to the table.

Chrome questioned how such a massive quantity of Medusas could have fallen to Earth without anyone in the modern era detecting them. The answer? The devices’ shapes made them invisible to radio waves, meaning they could bypass radar undetected.

This revelation gave Senku an idea. By covering their newly built ship with Medusas, they could create the world’s first stealth vessel, a craft that even advanced sonar couldn’t pick up. Their initial ship design had failed against sonar detection, but with this breakthrough, they now had a way to slip past enemies unnoticed.

Given the cliffhanger and the setup from Episode 6, Episode 7 will likely focus on two major threads:

  1. Testing the diamond-powered Medusa - With a functional device, the Kingdom of Science could have the ultimate weapon in its hands. Expect some tense moments as they determine whether their restored Medusa can actually petrify on command.
  2. Advancing toward their final confrontation - Now equipped with a stealth ship, Senku’s team may attempt to outmaneuver their enemies entirely, potentially catching them off guard. However, Xeno’s unpredictable loyalties could complicate things, and there’s always the chance of another faction interfering.

There’s also the question of what lies beyond the Medusa hill. If these devices were mass-produced or stockpiled intentionally, Episode 7 could reveal more about their origin and perhaps even about the entity or intelligence behind the petrification event itself.


Final thoughts

With Dr. Stone Science Future Part 2 Episode 7 on the horizon, Dr. Stone is in rare form. Episode 6 combined high-stakes science, sharp writing, and strong character moments into one of the season’s most exciting chapters. The Medusa hill discovery and the creation of a stealth ship are game-changers that could define the rest of the series.
