Dr. Stone Season 3: NEW WORLD will pick up from chapter 90 of Riichiro Inagaki and Boichi’s original manga series

The latest one-hour special episode of the anime, Dr. Stone: Ryuusui, was released on July 10, 2022. As the special is canon to the original manga series, the third installment will resume from where the episode ended. In the final moments of Dr. Stone: Ryuusui, Senku, Chrome, and Ryuusui successfully made it to the Ishigami village on their new invention, the hot air balloon.

Despite the terror of cumulonimbus clouds, the trio defied all odds with exceptional teamwork and created a new milestone. As Ryuusui is new to the village, the people of the era will be open-mouthed by hearing his story about how rich he was and his knowledge of sailing.

Dr. Stone Season 3: NEW WORLD will continue the Source of Petrification Saga and will adapt the remaining ten chapters of the Age of Exploration Arc. Later, the series will begin the Treasure Island Arc, comprised of 38 chapters. The new arc will see Senku and his team discover a new population.
