"Interesting Girl" and "So This is the Kind of Girl She Is, huh?" - Luna's Surprisingly Intense Character Makes Waves in "Dr. STONE" Season 4, Episode 6

In the anime "Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE" Episode 6, broadcasted on February 13th (currently airing), Luna (cv: Akira Sekine), a member of the "dark scientist" Dr. Xeno's (CV: Kenji Nojima) team, made her first appearance. Initially portrayed as a "cool and capable woman," Luna began to show an unexpected side, sparking reactions online such as "She's quite a character" and "Isn't she adorable?"

Due to a lie by Gen Asagiri (CV: Kengo Kawanishi), Dr. Xeno and his group mistakenly believe that the leader of Senku Ishigami's (CV: Yusuke Kobayashi) Kingdom of Science is "Dr. Taiju." In Episode 6 of the fourth season of the "Dr. STONE" series, titled "SCIENCE IS ELEGANT," Dr. Xeno and his team set out to assassinate Dr. Taiju.

Stanley Snyder (CV: Koji Yusa), the commander-in-chief tasked with the assassination, calls upon Luna to act as a spy to locate Dr. Taiju. Luna coolly questions, "Can we really trust that guy, Gen or whatever his name is?" However, when Stanley replies, "We'll keep him alive just long enough to extract information, even if he's likely a spy for the enemy," Luna, appearing flustered, responds, "Y-yes, of course. I knew that too, obviously!"

Luna continues to show uncharacteristic behavior, such as being rattled by the idea of assassinating the enemy and repeatedly encouraging herself with phrases like "I'm the cool woman, Luna! I'm the capable woman, Luna!" Her debut led to a flurry of online reactions including "Isn't she adorable?" "What an interesting girl," "She's quite a character," "A charming klutz," and "So this is what she's like, huh?"

The "Dr. STONE" series is based on a popular manga serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (published by Shueisha), with story by Riichiro Inagaki and art by Boichi. The story is set in a world where civilization has collapsed due to the petrification of all humanity, highlighting the adventures of the science-loving boy, Senku.
