"Dr.STONE" Finale: Voice Acting Legends Yamadera and Mitsuishi Unveil the Mystery of Whyman

The final season of the anime hit "Dr.STONE SCIENCE FUTURE" is heading toward its climax. After the 36th episode, aired on June 18, 2026, revealed the long-guarded secret behind the originator of the petrification, the production team released a gripping new visual titled "VS Whyman." The image shows protagonist Senku confronting the sinister figures of Whyman—a symbol of the final battle for the fate of all humanity. The series, based on the manga by Riichiro Inagaki and Boichi, tells the story of the genius scientist Senku, who, after millennia of stone sleep, seeks to rebuild civilization with science and technology. The arrival on the moon finally brought the revelation: Whyman, the mysterious entity responsible for the petrification. To embody this multifaceted role, two of Japan's most renowned voice actors were enlisted: Koichi Yamadera (known as Spike Spiegel from "Cowboy Bebop") and Kotono Mitsuishi (known as Usagi Tsukino from "Sailor Moon"). Yamadera expressed his excitement: "It is a great honor to participate in this work, which possesses a unique world and has been loved for years. As one of the performers of the special role Whyman, I prepared intensively, but the scale is overwhelming! I hope I could contribute to the tension of the story." Mitsuishi added: "Whyman is a completely different life form, but I found it fascinating that there were leaders, deputies, conservatives, radicals, and upstarts. The fact that Yamadera voices the leader made me very happy. Using other species for species preservation is common in nature. Although it is a machine, it felt very alive to me." The final 37th chapter, titled "The One Who Incites the Future," will air on June 25, 2026, on TOKYO MX and other channels. Simultaneously, the series is available via streaming services like Crunchyroll. The third and final season of "Dr.STONE SCIENCE FUTURE" has been airing since April 2, 2026, and comprises 13 episodes. With the revelation of Whyman and the upcoming finale, the epic journey of Senku and his friends reaches its thrilling conclusion.
