Dr. Stone Chapter 228: What Will Happen Next?

The next chapter of Dr. Stone will reveal the mystery of who the Why Man is truly is. Senku had already figured out that the man behind all of it was none other than the medusa or petrification devices that were turning everyone into stone. It will turn out that these machines are sentient. This means that these machines perceive and feel things on their own. Plus, the theory of aliens will finally come true after this.

The raw scans of the Dr. Stone Chapter 228 will also talk about a probable traitor who might be leaking important intel to these machines. But instead of giving more answers, this revelation will open more questions. If machines had been perpetrating this all these years, then who set them up for the same? Who had designed these machines to petrify all life? Senku will explain everything in the next chapter.

Previous Chapter Recap!

The 227th chapter of Dr. Stone began with the most awaited moment of the entire manga- the heroes stepping foot on the surface of the moon. The first thing that they discussed was the weapons that they were all equipped with. It turned out that besides the shooting doohickey and the grenade-net launcher, Senku reminded them that they also had the Medusa in their hands. Kohaku was concerned that voices don’t travel in a vacuum. However, the capsule contained enough oxygen inside to harness the Medusa. Stanley interrupted this conversation and asked them to move forward without wasting any more oxygen.

He instructed them to visit the Taurus-littrow valley. This is the place where the inexplicable dark stain was visible on the surface of the moon. On the way to the spot, the team noticed the US flag that was hoisted on the surface ages ago. The transmitter reiterated them to unlock the capsule. Kohaku realized that it was a fake message. But it was already too late to undo anything now. As the blast happened, Senku connected all the dots. The chapter ended with Senku exclaiming that Why-Man was someone they knew all along.
