Dr. Stone: Ryusui info
As mentioned above, the Dr. Stone: Ryusui TV special received a release window at the series’ Anime Japan 2022 stage. The special was confirmed to be airing in July 2022, and there was a reaffirmation about an additional manga chapter to be released around the same time.
The stage also revealed Ryusui’s voice actor, Ryota Suzuki, who was introduced on the stage. Suzuki is best known for his work on Kaguya-sama: Love Is War as the voice of Yu Ishigami. Although young, Suzuki has worked on many fantastic adaptations, indicative of his natural talent.
The Ryusui special portion of the stage also displayed various character design sketches for Ryusui, as well as showing four stills from the upcoming special. Although very slight, these reveals were clearly as exciting for the voice actors themselves as they were for fans in the audience.

After the four were introduced and the presenters went over Ryusui’s character design by way of an accompanying cutout, they discussed the production process at large. Kobayashi, seemingly taking on the role of leading the stage, began quizzing his cast mates on different aspects of the show.
One of the quizzes involved scenes from the first season of the anime, and the voice actors were tasked with organizing them in sequential order. They also did a version of the game for the second season of the anime. Finally, they were quizzed on what seemed to be demographic information, as well as dialog lines, for Ryusui Nanami.
In summation
Dr. Stone’s Anime Japan 2022 stage delivered in all aspects, both in terms of what was expected to be discussed and what came as a surprise. The voice actors present were engaging and inviting in their discussion regarding the show at large as well as news surrounding the Ryusui special.
