The wait is finally over! Dr Stone Season 4 Part 2 is here, and it’s turning up the heat with wild inventions, deep character moments, and the biggest mysteries the show has ever tackled. If you’re a fan of anime that mixes brains with action, this season is impossible to miss. Here’s everything you need to know, from episode schedules to key moments, all using info confirmed from official announcements and lively fan discussion.
The Dr Stone Journey and What Made Season 4 So Big
Dr Stone burst onto the scene in 2019 with a story unlike anything in anime, a world where humanity is turned to stone, and only a teen science whiz named Senku can kickstart civilization again. With every season, Senku’s team of friends and rivals pushed the boundaries of science, building everything from ramen to rockets. The mix of crazy inventions, humor, and survival made the series stand out from the start.
As the story reached its final season, everything got more intense. Season 4, known as Science Future, is the last big arc, split into three parts. Senku’s crew is now crossing the ocean, facing new enemies, and searching for the ultimate truth behind the petrification event that started it all.
Science Future Powers Up with a Global Adventure
Part 1 of Season 4 aired from January to March 2025, with 12 exciting episodes (available both subbed and dubbed). Now, Part 2 launched on July 10, 2025, and drops new episodes every Thursday on Crunchyroll. Episode 13 kicked things off, and the season continues weekly through late September.
The schedule for the rest of the season is packed, with new episodes coming every Thursday. The final season is expected to run about 30 episodes total, split across three parts. That means even more science, action, and wild twists ahead.
The Official Trailer Hints Wild Tech and Big Twists
Before Part 2 arrived, a brand-new trailer for Dr Stone: Science Future hit the internet, showing off the next stage of Senku’s adventure. Viewers got glimpses of motorcycles, mysterious lights in the South American jungle, and intense new rivalries. The trailer also hints at dramatic face-offs and next-level inventions as Senku’s crew finally sets foot in the Americas. Want a sneak peek? Check out the official trailer below and feel the hype for yourself.
Senku and Xeno Bring Science Showdowns to Life
One of the highlights of this new arc is the wild partnership between Senku and Dr Xeno, a scientific mastermind with his own vision for the future. Their team-up is a fan favorite, surprising everyone after Xeno spent the last season as Senku’s biggest enemy. The two geniuses dive deep into scientific puzzles, blowing everyone away, including their friend Chrome, with how quickly they can piece together the world’s biggest mysteries.
As Senku himself always says,
“There’s nothing you can’t do if you try.” - Senku
Their partnership this season feels so effortless, it’s easy to forget just how intense their rivalry was before and that Xeno was once set on taking Senku down, no matter the cost. Their success feels like a message for all of humanity: when people work together, they can achieve the impossible.
New Faces and a Long-Awaited Arrival in America
The story now takes the crew to America, the destination everyone’s been waiting for. But it’s not just about exploration: there are new allies, hidden dangers, and even more scientific battles ahead. The arrival of Chelsea Childe, a new geographer, brings fresh energy, while familiar enemies like Stanley keep the tension high.
The mission this time? Figure out the truth behind the petrification beam that wiped out humanity. Using science and sharp thinking, Senku and Xeno pinpoint the source all the way to Brazil, near the Bolivian border. The discovery sends chills down everyone’s spine, and fans are loving the wild theories and high stakes.
Breather Episodes Give the Crew Room to Grow
Season 4 Part 2 doesn’t just focus on big science moments, there’s also a chance to see the cast unwind in the second episode. After their intense journey, the crew takes a rare break on the ship, sharing drinks (courtesy of François the bartender) and looking back on their journey. Some viewers enjoyed the slower pace and emotional bonding, while others missed the rapid-fire science and action that defines Dr Stone. Still, these quieter moments build up the tension for what’s coming next. It’s the calm before the storm, and everyone knows something huge is right around the corner.
Emotional Flashbacks and the Power of Family
Dr Stone isn’t just about brains and battles. The show never forgets its heart, and this season continues the tradition of powerful flashbacks, especially scenes with Senku’s father Byakuya. Whenever the series revisits Byakuya’s story, it really strikes an emotional chord with viewers.
Byakuya’s own words resonate deeply:
“If you’re serious, you can accomplish anything through diligent application of science.” - Byakuya
Even after all this time, his presence and the way he quietly shapes Senku’s path still leaves a powerful mark on the audience. These moments are a reminder of how much is at stake and why the characters fight so hard.
