Senku & Xeno’s Collaboration Clears the Path! Intense Explosion Scene Sparks Reaction: “I Never Expected the Line ‘Science is Power’ to Pay Off This Way!” — Dr. STONE Season 4, Episode 26

In Episode 26 of the anime "Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE," which aired on April 9th, Senku Ishigami (CV: Yusuke Kobayashi) used a "certain invention" to remove a barrier blocking their route. Online viewers were thrilled, commenting, "This is exhilarating!" and "I can't believe Xeno's line became foreshadowing!"

In Episode 26, "FIRE," of the Dr. STONE series' fourth season, Senku and his crew, preparing for the moon landing, decide to head toward India from Spain. Thinking they could take a shortcut through the Suez Canal, they checked the waterway's condition, only to find it blocked by a dam-like accumulation of dead trees.

To solve this, Senku repurposed a miniature rocket and created a missile equipped with dynamite and Dr. Xeno’s (CV: Kenji Nojima) jet engine. Recalling Xeno’s words—“Science is power. For instance, I need not tell you that your rocket and a ballistic missile are essentially the same thing, correct?”—Senku muttered with deep emotion, "This is the first unit we've finally finished with Dr. Xeno." The launched missile then successfully blew up the dead-tree dam, clearing the path.

The callback to Dr. Xeno's "Science is power" line during such a heated development set the internet ablaze. Fans cheered, "This is exhilarating!", "Who would have thought Xeno’s line was foreshadowing?!", "The story is at full throttle now!", and "I never expected 'Science is power' to be brought back like this!"
