This volume was epic in every sense of the word omg!
Wow I loved this one, so its mostly the fights as we see Kinro fighting Magma and I love the way it happens and they fight and made me kinda like him and then other fights of Chrome and Ginro which were funny until the last bout and who will marry Ruri, and the way Senku wins lmao its fun and kinda the high point of the series so far and how they cure her is just the best and shows how even in the nightmare world Senku saved others and his connection with the village is revealed and the story of his father Byakuya is sorta told until the incident and that made me gasp like wow!
This was really good in all the great ways and I loved it, Senku getting the big moment and all the cool fights in between and sort of saving lives but more importantly the 100 tales being revealed and bringing the whole series full circle just wow and the art and writing even better, oof I just love it! this is where the series peaks!

With half of the protagonist's group being science nerds and not truly fit for battle, what's a fighting tournament going to look like when they're faced with actual powerhouses?
Lowkey miracles of science, trickery, and pure dumb luck!
Fascinatingly, the science whiz was able to find out the exact mystery illness plaguing the village's shaman. And just like in an episode of House, the first surefire thing didn't work but the new symptoms presented itself in a way that reveals what it is, and I guess Senku's got general practitioner knowledge too aside from chemistry & physics & general Macgyver know-how, since it's something that can be cured.
In thanks, the shaman tells the story of how the people of this village might all be descendants of the MC. What a twist! Probably also a TAKE THAT to any shippers on deck.

Niente da fare, quando Senku e Gen collaborano io impazzisco, sono proprio partners in crime.
Ma poi la bottiglia di Cola che Senku ha preparato per Gen AAA

I wanted to give 3 stars but last of volume was soooo shocking and amazing!!!

Okay, can we all agree that Byakuya Ishigami deserves to be nominated for Best Manga/Anime Dad Ever??? Because, I'm sorry, he is the FUCKING BEST and I wish other anime/manga dads were as awesome as him!
I have to say, I am LOVING the characters in this series and I never thought I would grow so attached to them considering Senku was the only one I liked in the beginning. But as the series progresses, I'm loving characters like Chrome, Kohaku, Suika, and Gen more and more. They're fun and engaging characters, but they can also be phenomenal assholes and I LOVE IT (except Suika, Suika's perfect and can do no wrong).
This last volume left off at one hell of a cliffhanger, but I'm going to give myself a break so I can digest the now five volumes I've binged in one day. I am loving this series and am so glad I gave it another chance.

📌Ginro high on dope is so fricken hilarious I almost wet my pants laughing out loud
📌Ruri's medicine! Finally!
📌BYAKUYA and his fatherly love (I can't stop crying!!)—and saving all 7 billion of people; and
📌Senku may be at times rude but he loved his father just the same!

bello e ottimo il colpo di scena finale
February 16, 2020
El tomo retoma los sucesos del volumen anterior donde los personajes se enfrentan en un torneo de combate para escoger al marido de Luri y quien será el nuevo líder de la aldea.
Un poco más de la mitad del tomo es acerca de estos enfrentamientos y aunque vemos astucia del equipo de Senku y Chrome, utilizando algunos artefactos y la física para aventajarse, son meramente combates, no la ciencia a la que nos tienen acostumbrados en esta serie.
Lo que acabo de describir aunado al decepcionante final del torneo, y la solución Deus Ex Machina de los autores hizo que este tomo no recibiera más estrellas. Se me hizo realmente ridícula la conclusión del torneo.
Después vemos si lograrán curar a Luri o no además de si lograrán cumplir el deseo de Gen.
Luego tenemos dos últimos números muy interesantes con la historia de la aldea, quién la fundó y por qué Senku está conectada a esa aldea. Esta parte fue sumamente interesante porque desde que en el tomo dos mencionaron al papá de Senku, sabía que había mucho más que contar de aquel personaje. Me alegra bastante hacia dónde va esta historia y espero el sexto volumen con ansias.

Really loved this volume. That twist at the end really took me for a loop with Senku’s dad being the founder of the village. Also his dad is just really sweet, with him supporting the hell out of his son’s scientific experiments and naming the village after him. Fuck that’s just sad thinking about how he never got to see his son revive from the stone statue. Anyways I wasn’t expecting to like Kinro so much but I’ve started really rooting for him. Love Gen’s stupid little distraction when Chrome was fighting Magma, so fucking stupid I love it. Senku being too based and science pilled for marriage.

Jak poprzednie dwa tomy były dla mnie bardzo dobre, ale nie miały tego czegoś z wcześniejszych, to ten okazał się chyba najlepszy z dotychczasowo przeczytanych. Świetna, a jednocześnie zabawna walka, no i przede wszystkim ostateczne dotarcie do jednego z celów, na który cała kompania Królestwa Nauki poświęciła tak wiele czasu. A końcówka tomu tylko zmusza do sięgnięcia po kolejny i jak ja się cieszę, że mam go pod ręką!

I liked how they balanced the action and emotional scenes in this one so smoothly. Sometimes it sounds ridiculous and exaggerated, but as long as it is entertaining and educational you won't find me complaining. 😊

1. Ce manga devient de plus en plus FASCINANT, et l'histoire véritable du village est extraordinaire
2. Les personnages sont géniaux et je me suis beaucoup trop attaché à eux en 5 tomes pour mon propre bien
3. Est ce qu'on parler du fait que Senku a eu un père présent et absolument extraordinaire ?? Monsieur je vous remets le prix du meilleur père de manga qui existe
Bref lisez Dr stone 🤧

This is another fast paced volume in which we get a glimpse into the culture of this world, as well as seeing a bit of the past and how things played out a bit. I'm interested to see what happens next!

Most of this volume is the tournament arc; that is not to say it is a bad tournament arc, moreover probably one of the better ones in manga.
Emotional beats hit hard, you get the feeling that all the characters really care about each other.
Soyuz astronauts are a whole other story, tragic yet hopeful destiny that serves as the core of Dr. Stone from now until the end.

4.5/5. Getting deeper into science and mystery.
February 13, 2025
Cried a little at the end but mostly because it reminds me of Futurama when Fry finds out about his astronaut nephew who was named after him "to carry on his spirit 😭"

3,5 ⭐ Il ne se passe pas grand-chose selon moi dans ce tome, hormis la grosse révélation de la fin qui relève le niveau. 🙌🏻 C'est bizarre, j'aime bien ce manga mais je ne me suis toujours pas attachée à l'histoire et à ses personnages. Je trouve ça sympa et distrayant, mais sans plus.

Ha inizio il torneo per decidere chi dovrà sposare Ruri e diventare il nuovo capo villaggio. Il team della scienza di Senku dovrà vedersela contro Magma e il suo fortissimo gruppo di guerrieri. Riusciranno Senku e compagni a far sì che l’innamorato Chrome sposi la sua amata Ruri? E la ragazza potrà salvarsi grazie all'antibiotico da loro creato? La sfida del torneo è molto appassionate, piena di sorprese e colpi di scena e con un finale che direi inaspettato, ma molto divertente. Inoltre in questo volume c'è un finale davvero sorprendente: abbiamo alcune informazioni sul villaggio e la sua storia, ma sopratutto conosciamo un personaggio molto importante per Senku e per il futuro dell'umanità. Io non vedo l’ora di leggere il prossimo volume di questa serie che mi appassiona moltissimo ad ogni capitolo!

5/5 Stars (%90/100)
This is probably my favorite volume so far. The Grand Bout was great. The fights are intense but super silly as well. Chrome is actually super despite looking and acting like an idiot. The ending of this volume is also brilliant as we learn many things about this stone world and the village itself. Senku is hilarious as always. Inagaki never fails to make you laugh in every chapter. After finally learning some important things (which I'm not going to spoil), I am very curious about what happens next.

This series is so frustrating. It has a great premise to build a long running series around and the writer clearly has respect for scientific achievement. But it’s also clear that they’d rather just objectify women’s bodies instead of writing them as characters. I guess the arc it’s been building towards for awhile will be the big tell if this series is worth it or not.

I actually really like this volume, but I do have to wonder… why was the scene where Ruri was being given medicine drawn like that ;-; I cannot get over it. Knocked off a whole star because of how out of place that felt. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this volume! Especially how everyone’s rounds in the Grand Bout went.

De nuevo un tomo maravilloso, no podía esperar menos de esta historia. En esta reseña quiero puntualizar en algunas cosas en específico así que vamos.
Vivimos los juegos del la aldea y los altos y bajos que estos traen para el Reino de la Ciencia y vemos las fortalezas y debilidades de algunos personajes de los cuales quiero hablar. Empezamos por Kinro, quien vemos que ha empezado a confiar plenamente en las ideas de nuestro protagonista y que quiere mantener sin importar lo que suceda la promesa que le ha hecho a Kohaku. Es extremadamente correcto y eso le impide decepcionar a sus amigos en ese momento, incluso cuando Magma le había pegado una buena paliza. Aunque no gana, ha cumplido al 10 billones porciento dejando a su oponente totalmente cansado. Por otro lado tenemos a Chrome, a quien nada le importa con tal de salvar a Ruri. La devoción que siente por ella y por sus amigos lo hace seguir luchando incluso cuando ya no puede estar en pie. También muestra su gran inteligencia cuando decide quemar a Magma con los lentes de Suika y su fuerza, porque se mantiene firme sin importar que, aunque claro, no habría podido lograrlo sin la ayuda de Gen. El mentalista vuelve a la escena y no pierde el tiempo para preguntar cuanto tiempo necesita Chrome para lograr su objetivo. Senku a penas le ha dicho que un minuto cuando él ya está corriendo para ayudar al científico. Engañando al "enemigo" nos demuestra nuevamente su gran poder de manipulación y de mentira, además de agregar una impecable actuación al combo. Otra de las mentes brillantes de esta historia que se gana su ansiada Coca Cola o, mejor dicho, Senku Cola.
Ahora, luego de que en un divertido giro de los acontecimientos Senku resulte el ganador y el nuevo líder de la aldea (casándose y divorciándose en unos bellísimos 5 minutos), no solo curan a Ruri de lo que resultó ser una neumonía, sino que también nos enteramos de que la aldea está fuertemente relacionada con nuestro protagonista, tanto que comparten el mismo nombre, "Ishigami". Y para sumarle, la historia 100 de todas las que debe saber la sacerdotisa es exactamente su nombre, Senku Ishigami. Esto nos abre una puerta a su vida antes de la petrificación y conocemos en más profundidad a quien, a mi parecer, es de los mejores padres que me ha dejado la lectura: Byakuya Ishigami. Padre de Senku, profesor, astronauta y el fundador de la aldea porque él se encontraba en el espacio con otros compañeros cuando la petrificación sucedió. De él quiero resaltar algo y es el como está constantemente preocupado y pensando en su hijo tanto que lleva al espacio el ramen que comían juntos o cuando observa desde el espacio aquella luz recubriendo el mundo, momento en el que él solo es capaz de gritar el nombre de Senku.
Tengo muchas ganas de seguir leyendo ya que, de ver el anime, Byakuya me parece un gran personaje y realmente quiero leer lo que sigue que es, justamente, su vuelta a la tierra. Realmente es un tomo lleno de emociones, subidas y bajadas en momentos repentinos y un final que te deja queriendo más.

This is awkward. I started reading volume 6 before 5…
What the hell? They managed to scrunch a tournament in here. *checks back cover and sees Shonen Jump* Ah, okay. That makes sense.
Entertaining. Humor's top notch. I can deal without all the “Science *** yeah!” only because it’s borderline religious worship. That’s kinda ironic due to some peeps modern day sensibilities. I’ve always put some stock in spiritual traditions and think it a tad unrealistic not to explore that or delve into superstition further. Missed opportunity if anything. Ah well, I still got the next volume. Get excite.
On to the next!

Турнірна арка була з кількома неочікуваними поворотами. Квест з хворобою сільської жриці нарешті завершили. Раптово (і дуже зручно) виявилося, що назва села - це прізвище головного героя, а одна з легенд, які розповідають у селі із покоління в покоління - це історія батька Сенку, який не став каменюкою, бо був у космосі в мить активації феномена. Час флешбеків!
На поточний момент маємо цілий наративний темплейт (шаблон, по-старовірному): поява у світі - становлення - знайомство з лиходієм - втеча - нове становлення - турнірна арка - флешбек.

The tournament arc ends with a flop and then we get a backstory that's kind of interesting but also expected? Like, something I've been wondering about for a while, and now they're dropping it as a big plot reveal mixed with some resolution to Riri's acknowledgement of Senku. Much more action this volume, the only science was groan-worthy, and many of the characters' expressions were painful to see.

Kinro is beating Magma, but Magma plays dirty and smashes Suika's helmet while Kinro is distracted. Suprisingly, Ginro wins his round, but trouble is still ahead as Chrome must face Magma next. Chrome wins the match thanks to help from Senku and Gen. After defeating Ginro and becoming the chief, Senku must marry Ruri. Ruri comes down with pneumonia, so Senku makes her some ''sulfa drugs''.

The Stone Tournament
I like the creative, familiar, and unfamiliar elements of this book.
This volume concludes the tournament arc, and gives us a bit of backstory of how the village came to be, and what the thing that turned everyone to stone looked like from above Earth.
Keep reading to find out what caused the stone phenomena.
