Dr. Stone’s Final Season Divided into Three Parts, Inspired by Attack on Titan

The first part of Dr. Stone’s final season premiered as part of the Winter 2025 anime lineup. The series, known for its unique mix of science and adventure, follows Senku Ishigami as he rebuilds humanity after a mysterious green light petrified the world 3,700 years ago. Now, with his Kingdom of Science and a daring mission to the moon, the story heads toward its epic conclusion.

However, fans noticed something familiar about the final season’s structure: like Attack on Titan, Dr. Stone has divided its last season into three parts. This trend, popularized by MAPPA with Attack on Titan: The Final Season, has become a common approach in modern anime.

Why Split Seasons Work for Anime
Dividing the final season into multiple parts benefits both fans and production teams. It allows studios to maintain high animation quality while reducing the pressure of producing weekly episodes. For a series like Dr. Stone, known for its vibrant visuals and attention to detail, this strategy ensures each episode is polished to perfection.

This approach started gaining traction when Attack on Titan split its final season into three parts, with the last part featuring two special episodes. By adopting this format, Dr. Stone joins the trend of delivering high-quality seasonal anime in shorter, more impactful segments.

What’s Next for Dr. Stone?
The final season of Dr. Stone will adapt the Truth of the Petrification and Stone to Space sagas. Senku and his team must uncover the origin of the petrification beam and its connection to Why-Man. Their journey begins in North America, where they hope to harvest corn, a key ingredient for the revival fluid.

But North America isn’t empty. Depetrified survivors now work for Xeno, a genius scientist and an old acquaintance of Senku. This sets the stage for a clash of scientific minds as the Kingdom of Science faces unexpected challenges in their quest to rebuild humanity.

Dr. Stone is gearing up for its most ambitious storyline yet, and the three-part format ensures fans will enjoy a visually stunning and well-paced finale. Stay tuned for updates on release dates and more details about Senku’s last adventure.
