Dr. Stone S5 - Episode 12

Chrome and his team infiltrate Xeno's base through a tunnel and discover a stockpile of yellow-dent corn, which is crucial for the mass production of revival fluid. Xeno, impressed by Chrome's scientific improvisation, attempts to persuade him to join his scientific dictatorship. Chrome refuses, emphasizing that scientists like him must respect the diversity of humanity.

Senku, who survived Stanley's assassination attempt, encounters Xeno and seizes the opportunity for negotiations. With Brody, Xeno's mechanic, the team strikes a deal: in exchange for Xeno's safety, they share the recipe for the revival fluid and plan to establish a "corn city" to save millions of petrified people. Brody agrees on the condition that both sides release their hostages.

Meanwhile, Yuzuriha uses the inactive Medusa to fake a petrification attack, deterring Stanley's pursuit. Senku's group escapes by boat to investigate the origin of the petrification in South America. Left behind are Nikki, Minami, and others to build the corn city.

The episode concludes with an emotional farewell: Taiju promises a reunion, while Senku and Ryusui set off on a global quest for answers.
