Reader’s Question:
I was watching Dr. STONE and I noticed that when Taiju was still unconscious, Senku poured nitric acid on him, but he didn’t wake up. So why would Taiju have woken up if the nitric acid had been applied directly to him? Is it because the direct application would
be more concentrated?
Exploring the Science Behind Dr. STONE
Hey there, fellow anime enthusiasts! I recently found myself diving deep into the world of Dr. STONE, and I stumbled upon a fascinating question that had me pondering for a while. You know how Taiju was out cold, and Senku poured nitric acid on him? It made me wonder why that didn’t wake him up, especially when it seemed like it might have worked if applied directly. One of our fellow viewers pointed out that just using nitric acid isn’t enough to reverse the petrification. It’s a mix of nitric acid and alcohol that creates the necessary potion. So, when Senku initially splashed just nitric acid on Taiju, it wasn’t potent enough. This realization was like a light bulb moment for me—sometimes, the simplest solutions can be misleading. Now, here’s where it gets intriguing. Taiju actually woke up through a different method, which involves using nitric acid on someone who is conscious while petrified. The key requirements are that the person must be awake during the petrification and also needs to use some brainpower—essentially, they have to think about something. The commenter suggested that while Taiju was petrified, he was busy contemplating Senku and Yuzuriha, which might have slowed down his brain’s energy consumption. It’s such a clever plot twist, isn’t it? It really shows how thought processes and consciousness tie into the revival process. I mean, who would have thought that thinking hard about your friends might just save your life? It’s a bit like those moments when we’re stressed about exams; sometimes, just thinking about the outcome can feel like a burden, but it’s also a reminder that our minds are powerful. Reflecting on this, I can’t help but think about my own experiences. I often find myself overthinking situations—like arriving too early to a class and fretting about whether I should have just stayed home a bit longer. It’s funny how our thoughts can sometimes become a barrier rather than a catalyst. As I wrap up this little exploration, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Have you had any moments where overthinking affected an outcome, or perhaps you’ve found unexpected solutions by just changing your perspective? Share your experiences in the comments below!
