Summary
After the global petrification, Taiju awakens and reunites with Senku, who has been keeping track of time and studying a way to reverse the phenomenon. Senku and Taiju manage to revive Tsukasa Shishio, but the conflict between Senku's scientific vision and Tsukasa's selective idea of reconstruction divides the protagonists' paths. Senku arrives at Ishigami Village, gains allies, and uses inventions like medicine, glass, and electricity to gain ground and form the Kingdom of Science. The Ishigami Village Tournament and Ruri's healing reveal decisive information about the past and the connection between Senku, Byakuya, and the village founders. With radio, telephone, and mass production, Senku faces the Tsukasa Empire in a war of intelligence, technology, and strategy. The internal threat from Hyoga complicates the conflict, but the Kingdom of Science defeats the immediate enemies and begins a reunification process between former rivals. Senku revives Ryusui Nanami, builds a ship, and starts the age of great expeditions, expanding the reach of the Kingdom of Science. On Treasure Island, the group encounters Ibara and uncovers more secrets about the petrification devices, obtaining crucial clues about the Why-man. The journey continues to America, where Senku clashes with Dr. Xeno and Stanley Snyder, later forming an alliance based on mutual need. Global expeditions traverse various regions to gather rare materials, specialists, and sufficient infrastructure for a space project. In South America, the group confirms the origin of the petrification phenomenon and faces a new disaster before regaining strength. With years of scientific advancement, humanity rebuilds industry, communication, and transportation on a global scale to enable the lunar mission. On the Moon, Senku discovers that the Why-man is a mechanical intelligence linked to the Medusa devices, closing the central cycle of the mystery. After returning to Earth, civilization is restored at an accelerated pace, characters resolve their personal destinies, and Senku looks ahead to a new scientific challenge beyond the reconstruction of the world.
