Dr. Stone has recently brought the main story of Senku and his friends fighting to free the world from the mysterious stone prison to a close, with the Shonen series first beginning in 2017 and already giving us two seasons of the popular anime adaptation. While the manga has brought the scientific story to an end, it seems that the creators of the series aren’t averse to diving back into the world as a new manga one-shot is on the way to coincide with an anime special that will focus on the sea-faring character known as Ryusui.
For those who might not be familiar with the character named Ryusui, he was freed by Senku from his stone prison during the “Age of Exploration Arc,” in which his sailing expertise was needed to help the Kingdom of Science with a serious problem on their hands. Effectively being the “pirate” of the series, Ryusui has added an interesting foil to Dr. Stone, especially when it comes to his relationship with Senku, which can often see the Captain holding the mad scientist to task when it comes to his more manipulative nature. Needless to say, expect this sea captain of the stone world to play a major role in the upcoming third season of Dr. Stone’s anime.
WSJ_Manga shared the news that a special manga chapter was in the works to coincide with the arrival of Dr. Stone’s anime special landing this summer which will focus on the sea-faring ally to Senku, with the series already confirming that fans can expect season three to arrive next year in 2023.
Ryusui isn’t the only anime pirate that the artist behind the scientific series, Boichi, has worked on, with the mangaka recently taking a crack at the world of One Piece with a story that took place in the earlier days of Ace, the brother of Luffy that died during the Marineford Arc. One Piece: Ace’s Story showed off not just Boichi’s amazing artistic talent within the world of the Grand Line, but also gave us more insight into how Ace operated when he was sailing the seas that made Devil Fruit a household name for anime fans.
