Fans have been eagerly waiting for the second season of “Dr. Stone” and they could not wait for its arrival.

The trailer and a new arc
In the very first trailer for this Japanese anime, it was revealed that it will present a new arc called the “Stone Wars.” Apparently, Senku and his friends will have to fight in a battle and Tsukasa and his empire would be their opponent.
It will be like the new age vs. the stone age battle since Tsukasa will still stick to the old ways while Senku will surely use Science to beat them. Then again, it may not be an easy war since Tsukasa will be expanding his empire.
It was also hinted that Senku will build a new civilization as well but this would be like is still a mystery that can only be seen when “Dr. Stone” season 2 returns. Based on some predictions, Taiju and Yuzuriha will also be back in this new arc. They were Senku’s followers but there is a theory that they may betray him and join Tsukasa’s group.

Meanwhile, fans who want to review the story from the first season up to the third installment, they can head to Funimation, Hulu and Crunchyroll for streaming.
