Senku Ishigami

The Story of Petrification in Dr. Stone

The Dr. Stone series begins with a flashback showing Senku Ishigami and his friend Taiju Oki at school, when suddenly, a mysterious phenomenon known as "petrification" affects all of humanity, turning people into stone statues.

What is Petrification?

Petrification is a process that occurs when a living being is covered by a stone-like material, turning it into an inert statue. The process is instantaneous and affects all living things, except those in a completely isolated environment or those with a natural resistance to petrification.

The Cause of Petrification

The cause of the petrification is a mystery that unfolds throughout the series. At first, it's believed to be a natural phenomenon, but it's soon discovered to be the result of advanced technology created by a group of humans attempting to preserve life on Earth.

The Petrification Process

The petrification process involves the creation of a force field that surrounds living beings, turning them into stone statues. The force field is generated by a series of devices that emit an unknown energy.

The Consequence of Petrification

Petrification has a devastating impact on humanity, halting the aging process and disease, but also preventing people from moving or interacting with their environment. Society collapses, and nature begins to reclaim the planet.

The Story of Senku and Taiju

Senku and Taiju are two of the many humans unaffected by petrification, thanks to their isolated environment at the time. After 3700 years, Senku awakens from his petrification and begins working to revive humanity and rebuild society.
