“Dr. Stone” chapter 163 leaks hint at finally unveiling the mystery project Xeno has been supervising. As a result, this leads to the highly anticipated battle between his group and Senku’s Kingdom of Science.
‘Dr. Stone’ chapter 163 spoilers: Next major battle begins
Unlike other weeks, fans only got a small portion of the title page as a “Dr. Stone” chapter 163 leak. It remains to be seen if more information will emerge in the coming days, but the title is enough to hint that a battle is going start very soon. This refers to the brewing rivalry between Xeno’s empire and the Kingdom of Science. The latter is currently under the leadership of Chrome after Senku narrowly escapes death from being critically shot by Stan.
Nothing much has been leaked about “Dr. Stone” chapter 163, and it is probably for the best. A few descriptions of the upcoming events hint at a thrilling chapter that will ultimately lead to the battle.
In chapter 161, Xeno was shown coming down to the factory where Brody was working. The latter said Xeno’s secret weapon would be completed in two weeks -- the same timetable Chrome had for his DRILL. The drilling machine was completed and was fully functional in chapter 162, which likely means Xeno’s secret weapon is also finished.
“Dr. Stone” chapter 163 could then finally reveal exactly what this machine is. It might not even be exactly a weapon as some fans think Xeno is building a submarine transport machine. It remains to be seen if this speculation checks out, but it is worth noting that Xeno did mention something about taking over his enemies’ ship.
Kingdom of Science gains an unlikely ally?
The same source of “Dr. Stone” chapter 163 leak claimed that members of the Kingdom of Science are getting help from a follower of Xeno. It can be recalled that Taiju grabbed a guard named Carlos, who they then tied in the tree as Chrome finished the DRILL.
While that does not sound like very friendly, chapter 162 gave several hints that Carlos and Taiju have a good rapport. Despite the language barrier, Taiju and Carlos seemed to immediately trust each other, and this should explain why the latter reportedly agrees to draw a map of Xeno’s hideout in “Dr. Stone” chapter 163. With both groups having their machines completed, their battle should start very soon.
