ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION doing opening is perfect—the legendary rock band bringing "Skins" fits Dr. STONE's energetic scientific spirit. Seiichiro Yamashita joining cast is exciting addition; the Eminence in Shadow voice actor voicing SAI expands the ensemble. April 2 premiere is coming up very soon—less than a month away means the wait is nearly over. Cour 3 continuing story maintains momentum; keeping the adaptation flowing prevents long gaps between story arcs.

Senku and the rest of the crew return next month for Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE Cour 3, the continuing adaptation of the manga series of the same name written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Boichi. Ahead of the April 2 premiere, a new trailer was released today revealing the opening theme song, the key visual, and an additional cast member.

Starting with his super strong childhood friend Taiju Oki, who awakened at the same time, they will begin to rebuild civilization from nothing.

Departing from the Stone World, Senku and his companions set out on a voyage across the seas.
