As evident from the leaked key visual, the upcoming anime season is set to focus on the Kingdom of Science's journey to the other side of the world. In Dr. Stone: Ryuusui, Senku's plan was discussed in detail as he wanted to unravel the mystery behind the green light that petrified humanity three thousand years ago.

Senkuu believed that the Petrification light came from the other side of the world and thus wanted to investigate its origin. The special episode featured Senkuu and his team's efforts in building a ship, following which they acquired a skilled captain Ryuusui Nanami to lead them during the journey.

While initially, the Kingdom of Science had some issues relating to the fuel for the journey, by the end of the episode they were able to acquire it. Thus, the forthcoming season will feature them using all the resources they have gathered to investigate the Petrification light.
