Dr. STONE plot recap, spoiler-light
In the anime Dr. STONE, a mysterious green light petrifies all of humanity in June 2019. Over three millennia later in April 5738, a brilliant young prodigy named Senku Ishigami awakens in a world reclaimed by nature.
Utilizing his vast knowledge, Senku figures out a revival fluid formula and begins waking up his peers, starting with his brawny friend Taiju Oki. Their early efforts to rebuild civilization hit a major roadblock when they encounter Tsukasa Shishio, a powerful martial artist who opposes scientific restoration in favor of a society based on physical strength. After surviving an assassination attempt by Tsukasa, Senku forms the Kingdom of Science by allying with a local village originally founded by astronauts who survived the disaster in space.
Following a fierce conflict, Senku defeats Tsukasa and later clashes with the Petrification Kingdom to secure vital resources. This leads to a worldwide expedition spanning North and South America to gather materials for a moon rocket, culminating in a sudden second global petrification event that leaves only a single person behind to restart civilization's revival efforts.
