Recap of Chapter 196
Three years after the second World Wide Petrification, we see Suika determined to revive her friends. She remembers Senku’s methods to create miracle fluid, the key component required to revive people who have been petrified. Using his instructions, she starts off to create the miracle fluid. Due to her lack of knowledge, she is unable to create nitric acid using Ostwald Process and Electrical arc Process.
Thus, she resorts to the third formula of creating the Miracle fluid. She collects feces to extract nitric acid. After completing the procedure, she finally succeeded in making enough fluid to revive one person. The process takes up seven long years, as per Senku’s count. After reviving Senku, she apologizes to him for taking too long. Senku, not worrying about it, congratulates her on her success instead. Also Read: Preview: Koi to Yobu ni wa Kimochi Warui Episode 10
Dr. Stone Chapter 197 Summary
Now that Senku has been revived, he takes over the responsibility of reviving everyone else. The chapter begins with Suika remembering how she failed multiple times until she could finally make the revival fluid. She shows Senku the field she was using to make nitric acid from fecal matter. While he appreciates her efforts, Senku shows her how to make the fluid quickly. He uses the Ostwald Process and can make nitric acid within a day. Next, he moves on to make some alcohol which will need half a month to ferment. By the end of sixteen days, sixteen potions are ready.
Revival
The first person they revive using this potion is Kohaku. Suika has grown to be of the same age as Kohaku now and conveys her embarrassment of asking for a hug. However, they hug anyway teary-eyed. One by one they revive everyone else. Tsukasa asks about Hyoga, to which Senku replies that they will use the last potion on him. Astonishingly, Hyoga comes to life on receiving the potion. The revived ones feast that night. Chrome notices that the cracks on Senku’s face remain. The latter deduces that erosion must have been preserved. During the feasts, Gen hints that Tsukasa is waiting by the water wheel hut to talk to him. They discuss the revival of Hyoga, who was confirmed to be dead by Tsukasa. At the same time, Chrome unintentionally stumbles upon their conversation and ends up eavesdropping. Senku reveals that he has been having doubts about a theory ever since the beginning. The theory being that Petrification can nullify death. This theory was proven true by Hyoga’s revival. Tsukasa concludes that everyone as of now is immortal. The chapter closes by stating that Dr. Stone is like the forbidden fruit, a taboo not meant for humanity. At a distance, Chrome is left shocked.
