Doctor Fact-Checks Dr Stone Anime

Hey I'm a Doctor working in the UK and in this video I fact-check the Dr Stone anime from a Real Doctor's perspective.
In todays video I break down the science behind all of Senku Ishigami's inventions and scientific discoveries in the Dr Stone anime.
I fact-check Senku making antibiotics to cure Ruri's illness, making glasses to help Suki see, as well the science of cryogenically freezing Tsukasa's to save his life.
Along the way we'll be keeping a percentage accuracy of Senku's discoveries and finally conclude how accurate the Dr Stone anime is.

⬇️⬇️⬇️What's your favourite of Senku's discoveries? Let me know ⬇️⬇️⬇️

[bobasaur]

The funny thing about the "love potion" is that senku straight up tells him its just gasoline later 😂

[transyuri]

You shouldn't have really scored the love potion thing sense Senku admitted that it was a lie within a minute.

My father is an optometrist, his favorite thing to tell kids when he fits them for new glasses is: "Look at the trees." And the first time they can see the individual leaves is always amazing.

[grumpysanta]

Remember with Tsukasa's sister (braindead) that if she were still alive when petrified, coming out of the petrification has a side effect of healing the body as well. Eventually that becomes the source of the "Dr. Stone" name. The same with Tsukasa's cold sleep... they're going to find the means to petrify him and use that to heal the body.

[WoobertAIO]

I like how most of the logic fails were due to the petrification-related shenanigans explained in the show.

[coyraig]

Tsukasa survived hours after a spear to the chest, and could still have a meaningful conversation. With pain tolerance like that I think speed is worth more than anesthesia.

[blametheghost]

I think it's pretty safe to say that Dr Stone at least gets a 95% or higher on this, the people working on it does their homework and then other people's homework

[cooliceprincess]

To anyone wondering how Senku could count the seconds for 3700+ years, remember that the show's sci-fi petrification made your body FULLY turn to stone. You're not just covered in it. That means your senses are shut down, your bodily functions all shut down (no pain, exhaustion, nor hunger), including hormones--which means emotions are also shut down. The brain is only active as far as sending electrical signals to think. That makes the fact that he stays sane and so focused on his counting more believable. In that state, you are solely a being of thought. You won't be able to get scared, much less panicked, nor get depressed. In theory, in that state you will be able to continue thinking without mental repercussions. There are no outside input to distract you from your line of thought either. The only downside is the urge to go into hibernation. In Senku's case, he chose to focus on counting (and cataloging data regarding the petrification at the early stages) to push through the urge.

Spoiler territory, though not regarding the main series:

In a spin-off manga, the Byakuya Reboot (which isn't technically canon, but canon-adjacent), Byakuya mentioned that Senku had attempted to count the seconds when he was 6 years old. He succeeded doing it for a month. This proves that the series does take into account the realism of this feat. If you try doing this at a normal state, you will have to divide your brain power between the counting itself, your daily activities, and the need for rest. Hence, 6 y/o Senku was only able to do it for a month. A mind-boggling feat, of course, especially for a 6 y/o, but comparing it to the Guinness world record mentioned in this video, that feat is still within the realm of possibility.

@doc.offcall
0:45 He said the love potion was fake after you need to have more context.
1:22 Also he was able to count because the stone he and the rest of the world was in is like "magic".
22:15 They could heal her from being brain dead because again she was in the "magic" stone.
22:50 He was stabbed through the lungs so it was instant, again you need to have more context, they say its the lungs after.
25:10 They could freeze him because he was going to die anyway. While he is frozen they are trying to find out what was the green light that turned everyone to stone so they can perify him while also healing him after because again "magic" stone. Again you need to have more kontext.

[darknesswave]

The parts that deducted points were explained in the show minutes later at most. The "love" potion was fake. It was gasoline. Senku knew Taiju wouldn't take it so he made it up knowing that. The parts for example about Tsukasa being frozen were indeed addressed seconds later in that same scene. Senku admits that they're murdering Tsukasa in order to preserve his body so when they found out how to petrify people they could do it to him then revive him and he'd be fine. Killing him was the only way to accomplish that since Senku already experienced the petrification healing somebody when Tsukasa "killed" him

[AceOfSerberit]

I personally don't think it should've lost points for the issues that the show itself knows is impossible without the use of the petrification healing.
Like the brain dead sister and the cold sleep.

But I get why

[yugioht]

actually cryogenics is used on animals currently mostly as tests. universities have been trying to figure it out. a couple of chimps got the cyro treatment and the people slowly had to bring them back it took a couple of hours through a slow reheat and stopping of the chemicals to get them back and normal. they were tested and their brains were intact.

[SOKAR_EX]

The reason he froze him was to find the thing behind the petrification, petrify him again and revive him since it seems to heal injuries if the petrification is still there like with senku

[ianjordan]

I mean for the cryogenic thing senku himself said he would be killing him

[pisaschitt]

To be fair on senku freezing tsukasa, he admitted himself that he might be killing tsukasa and tsukasa accepted. Senku just needs to hurry and find the peteification device and nitric acid that the bats on the cave produces since in the world of dr. Stone, petrification heals whatever injuries or disease a person has. We all saw this first hand with tsukasa's sister when she was unpetrified. She was pronounced brain dead but when she came back to life using unpetrification, she's as good as new. I can say more but that will count as spoilers. However, the current anime will cover it so stay tuned for that

[asfthecompany]

Its been stated that Dr. Stone creators worked with pros in these things :) So Kinda can guess its preeeetty accurate :P

[nikita]

I'm not sure the legality of cryogenics should be taken into account in a post-apocaliptic world where this method is the only one to give even a faintest chance of saving someone's life

[TyranntX]

I don’t know what I was expecting, I know DR Stone is a surprisingly science accurate show

[stormwindsakuro]

I like how the score get lower only "because" of Tsukasa since in the anime he's showed as built too different even for the other characters, like "you don't need anesthetic, you're too strong for that, I know you will not loose your conciousness and stay calm" and his cryogenic will work because (maybe spoiler I don't remember if Senku said it at the end of season 2)






they will rely on the petrification healing so the unrealistic SF part of the story
