So did it take Suika 7 years to make it or was Senku in there for 7 years? If so, I wonder how long Suika was petrified. Decently long I suppose, because of the moss and tattered clothes and all, but I can't really get an idea
I would imagine he pulled his counting seconds schtick so 7 years total.
She's gonna need a bigger watermelmet.
Yeah I figured that would be it
Senku was petrified for seven years.
The wiki says Suika was 12 when everyone was petrified, 18 afterwards, so it took her six years. Based on vegetation growth and my eyeballed estimates it would be four instead; the tower looks ~8m tall and lianas grow ~3m/year, so it would take them at least three years to reach the top.

I see, thanks
The anime expanded the time Suika is alone in the world; it was just three chapters (194~196), but we got a full episode out of it.
And I'm glad it did. It doesn't change the plot at all, but it gives Suika's time alone a well-deserved depth.
Sure, she woke up all alone, just like Senku did seven years earlier. But unlike Senku she was still a child, and the episode showed well how lonely and vulnerable she felt. (Specially the part where she hugs Kohaku's statue.) And Suika was never shown to be a talented scientist or anything similar; she didn't even get modern education. And yet she was able to make the revival fluid. It plays really well with the theme of the anime, on science being not quite the result of a few talented individuals, but of knowledge accumulated over time: previous knowledge (Senku notes), failures (the rain over the nitrate crystals), and eventually success.
By far one of the best episodes I watched this season.

This scene was bloody amazing. A damn great adaptation of the manga:
And I'm glad it did
Not that I disagree, but I could've done without the "ew it's just scrap paper" and "nah screw the slow one" moments. It was so obvious those were the actual problem solvers. I feel like there are more graceful ways to give hints lmao.
I liked it. It was obvious for the viewers, but Suika was still a child, and it's how children think - they want easy and fast solutions. It also shows well that with science you don't get ir right the first time, you need to be a bit stubborn.

Definitely! It's more how they executed it rather than the actual events that made it unbelievable. It was so on the nose.
Done!
Also, all the screenshots are done by hand, so as long as you indicate which one you want clearly enough for a human to understand, it should be ok.

Good to know! Thank you!
Did we finally get the big timeskip? I can't handle watching from week to week, I have to hate binge all at once, but really want to see the big 12.8 million meters, one second moment.
We got it. We're roughly at chapter 196.
