This is the concluding part of the fourth and final season of Dr. Stone, marking the stage where the story reaches its ultimate goal: uncovering the truth of petrification and confronting the mystery related to Whyman. This phase revolves around a highly challenging scientific project; as Senku and his companions begin work on a plan to reach the moon, after it becomes clear to them that the source of the mystery leads them there. The idea here is not limited to adventure alone but transforms into a massive scientific race: building a rocket, gathering materials, uniting expertise, and leveraging everything that the "Kingdom of Science" has achieved over previous seasons.
The official website describes this phase as a transition from the stone world to space, reaching the heart of the petrification secret. What makes this part unique is that it combines the climax of the scientific story with an emotional conclusion. After a long journey that began with rediscovering fire, agriculture, medicine, electricity, and communications, the work now reaches its most ambitious project in the series: creating a vehicle capable of reaching the moon. Thus, the events seem larger in scale, more connected to what the anime has built since its inception.
In terms of events, this section begins from episode 25: Future Engine, and the official episode list later shows episodes such as Stone to Space and Countdown and Whyman, clarifying that this part focuses directly on the space phase and the ultimate conclusion of the conflict.

However, this rise does not occur quietly, as parties emerge that view Rimuru as a serious threat, notably Granbell Rozo and Mariabell Rozo, along with movements linked to the Eldorado Kingdom and the Demon King Leon.
The fourth season tends to expand on the conspiracies and alliances, continuing the elements of power that the work is famous for: state-building, the relationships between characters, the conflicts between major powers, and Rimuru's balancing between being a political leader and a warrior with exceptional abilities.
It is considered one of the surprising works in the Spring 2026 season, having caught attention since its first episode with its serious style and complex political building. The anime presents a turbulent world ruled by corrupt social structures, conflicts between political factions, and wars that cannot be resolved by force alone. What distinguishes its protagonist is that he does not rely on supernatural abilities or excessive physical strength, but utilizes knowledge, cunning, and ambition as his tools…
