Episode 16 recap
Dr. Stone season 3 episode 16 began with Senku and co continuing to execute their plan, successfully getting Kirisame to use the Medusa Device. However, both Ryusui and Senku felt that something was off, confirmed by Kirisame’s use of a fake Device. The Kingdom of Science then retreated and tried regrouping when it was revealed that Magma and Gen were gone.
Magma had stolen the gun from Yo and wanted to use it to try and kill Ibara and claim the Petrification Kingdom for himself. Meanwhile, Gen tried stopping him due to recognizing how key the gun was to their plan. The pair and Senku’s team simultaneously realized that Ibara had commandeered the Perseus and was using it to evacuate the villagers from the island. He then planned to use the Medusa Device to engulf the entire island.
Senku then realized the opportunity they had, splitting the Kingdom of Science into two teams. One team went to retrieve the Master, but they realized Ibara had smashed him in anticipation of this plan. Thankfully, Yuzuriha said he could be revived as Soyuz’s memories confirmed him to be the Master’s son. The episode ended with Magma, Gen, and the other team boarding the Perseus and preparing to fight off Ibara’s forces.
What to expect (speculative)
Dr. Stone season 3 episode 17 is all but certain to open up with a focus on the Kingdom of Science group currently boarding the Perseus. After all, if they can kill Ibara and reclaim the ship for themselves successfully, their victory is all but officially confirmed. Likewise, they need to buy time for Yuzuriha and co to begin repairing the Master’s statue to earn the trust of the villagers and Ibara’s forces.
Dr. Stone season 3 episode 17 will likely focus more on Soyuz’s flashback, which should also reveal Ibara’s initial betrayal and attack on the Master. Soyuz and Ibara may both contribute to this retrospective throughout the episode, slowly revealing the full origins of the current Petrification Kingdom.
