Dr. Stone season 4 episode 11 recap
Dr. Stone season 4 episode 11 began with Senku and Ryusui’s dogfight against Stanley beginning. They seemed to have made an automatic machine gun, but it was revealed to be a fake, with the pair relying on Yo’s six-shooter instead. The two planes used various maneuvers and tactics to try and get around each other, with advantage constantly switching. While most of Senku’s allies focused on the dogfight, Matsukaze kept watch for a ground invasion.
However, Xeno subverted these expectations by instead sending a submarine out to attack the Perseus. It first rammed into it with an explosive while surfacing before opening its hatch, prompting those inside to begin boarding Senku’s ship. Gen was shocked to see Xeno execute this move as focus shifted back to the dogfight. Ryusui climbed high in the sky above Stanley, confusing and angering him while Senku prepared bottles of acetylene gas.
He then began dropping them on Stanley, with one eventually exploding right in front of his plane and causing it to stall out. Meanwhile, Moz and Matsukaze successfully fended off some of the attackers as Senku accidentally broke a bottle and caused their plane to crash. However, it was revealed Stanley was actually at the Perseus. The episode ended with Tsukasa taking Xeno hostage just as this happened, with each army now in checkmate likewise.
What to expect from Dr. Stone season 4 episode 12?(speculative)
Dr. Stone season 4 episode 12 is titled Reunion. As hinted in the previous episode's climax, the next episode will see the aftermath of Tsukasa reaching Xeno's kingdom. After capturing the scientist at point-blank range, Senku's team captured Xeno.
On the other hand, the arrival of Tsukasa and others might see Gen revealing his true colors before Xeno. As Tsukasa and the team are returning to their base with Xeno, Senku is also on his way. Will we finally get to see the reunion of past rivals in the season's finale?
