 The Stone Wars are over; the true big bad is subdued, and we invent refrigeration to keep the old big bad barely alive from his fatal wound because for some reason, the main character still regards him as a friend.
Hilariously, the way they plan to heal him is to subject him to the Medusa-power that petrified the world in the first place, which according to the ancient stories, came from South America.
TIME FOR EXPLORATION!
But it's one thing to make a superior sailing vessel; it's another to navigate it safely across the Pacific.
Looks like that's one thing our scientific Macgyver can't do...INSTEAD, THEY SEEM TO REVIVE SOMEONE FROM A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SERIES! Seriously, I have a feeling this was suppose to be the main character for the next thing the author wanted to do, but when Dr. Stone just continued to be popular, maybe they decided to just fold him into the current cast. Despite being the very definition of spoiled rich kid, he knows his stuff and unfortunately, the Kingdom of Science needs his skills.
Also, they invent hot air balloon to get a bird's eye view of how Japan's changed in the thousands of years since (MT FUJI STILL ACTIVE & ERUPTS BRO! WHY DO PEOPLE STILL LIVE SO CLOSE TO IT?!)
