Matsukaze, revived from petrification by the Kingdom of Science during their investigation into the global petrification phenomenon, emerged as a scarred survivor with critical knowledge of the event’s origins. Once a petrified statue recovered by Taiju, his revival left physical marks akin to Senku and Tsukasa, signifying his unique connection to the revival process. His fragmented memories depict petrification devices descending from the sky—a pivotal clue revealing the extraterrestrial origin of the catastrophe and anchoring the crew’s focus on the moon as the source of the mysterious signal linked to the Why-Man.
This revelation drives the Kingdom of Science’s lunar ambitions, propelling Matsukaze to join the Perseus crew’s mission. His integration exemplifies the narrative’s emphasis on uniting disparate figures under collective scientific pursuit, bridging fragmented history with humanity’s forward momentum. Though his personal history remains unexplored, his firsthand account of the petrification “rain” becomes indispensable to decoding the event, directly steering the crew toward space exploration as the next step in countering the extraterrestrial threat.
Functioning as both witness and catalyst, Matsukaze’s presence ties the enigmatic past to the crew’s urgent objectives, reinforcing the series’ core theme of rebuilding civilization through relentless innovation and collaborative problem-solving. His contributions solidify the link between the moon’s signal, the petrification devices, and humanity’s survival, ensuring his role remains integral to unraveling the stone world’s secrets.
