Dr. Stone is reaching its final stretch on Crunchyroll, and the Hindi voice cast recently opened up about bringing the beloved characters to life. Ankit Goswami (Senku Ishigami), Adnan Shakeel (Chrome), Rushikesh Punse (Ryusui), and Soneer Vadhera (Tsukasa) shared their experiences, challenges, and love for the science-driven anime in an exclusive interview. Their insights reveal what makes this show stand out in the crowded shonen genre.
The final season, Dr. Stone: Science Future, is currently airing its third and final cour on Crunchyroll. New episodes drop every Thursday at 7:00 PM IST. The series finale is scheduled for June 25, 2026. With the anime adaptation that began in 2019 now coming to a close, the Hindi dub has helped millions of Indian fans connect with Senku’s mission to rebuild civilization from scratch.
What Makes Dr. Stone Different From Other Shonen Anime
The voice cast emphasized that Dr. Stone breaks the typical shonen mold. Instead of focusing on flashy fights and power-ups, the series highlights problem-solving, innovation, and the power of knowledge. Every obstacle Senku faces requires a scientific solution, from making gunpowder to building a hot air balloon.
This unique approach also created challenges for the dubbing team. Getting the scientific terms right while keeping the dialogue natural in Hindi required extra effort. The cast had to understand each scientific concept before delivering their lines to make sure the educational value came through clearly.
Adnan Shakeel, who voices Chrome, shared how the character’s never-give-up attitude resonated with him. Chrome joins the series in Season 2 and quickly becomes Senku’s most trusted partner. His curiosity and willingness to learn make him the perfect student of science. Adnan mentioned that Chrome’s determination to keep moving forward despite failures is what makes the character so inspiring.
Senku’s Human Side Behind the Genius
Ankit Goswami, the voice behind Senku, revealed that finding the character’s human side was his biggest challenge. Senku is known for his catchphrase “10 billion percent” and his cold logical approach to problems. But Goswami wanted to show the kindness underneath that brilliance.
“Shuruaat mein challenge tha. Senku intelligent hai, scientific hai, but where’s the human angle?” Goswami explained. “At first, that was the challenge. Senku is intelligent and highly scientific, but I kept asking myself, where is the human side of the character?”
Goswami added that voicing Senku reminded him of his school days. The show’s scientific explanations brought back memories of learning those concepts in the classroom. He worked hard to make Senku sound natural in Hindi while keeping the character’s sharp intelligence intact.
Chrome’s Journey and Never-Give-Up Attitude
Adnan, who voices Chrome, had a unique entry into the Dr. Stone franchise. He joined from Season 2 onward, which gave him a different perspective on the story.
“Main pehle season ka hissa nahi tha, lekin lagta hai universe chahta tha ki main second season se is journey ka part banu,” Adnan said. “I wasn’t part of the first season, but it feels like the universe wanted me to become part of this journey starting from Season 2.”
Chrome starts as a self-taught sorcery enthusiast in Ishigami Village. But under Senku’s guidance, he transforms into a brilliant scientist in his own right. Adnan pointed out that Chrome’s willingness to fail and keep trying is what makes him so relatable. He does not have Senku’s genius, but he makes up for it with pure determination.
Ryusui’s Confidence and Leadership
Rushikesh Punse, who voices the charismatic sailor Ryusui, shared his thoughts on what makes the character special. Ryusui joins the team in Season 3 and immediately shakes things up with his bold personality and unmatched confidence.
“Agar aapke andar karne ki chahat hai, toh aap kuch bhi kar sakte ho, chahe woh kitna bhi mushkil kyun na ho,” Rushikesh explained. “If you truly have the desire to achieve something, you can accomplish it no matter how difficult the challenge may seem.”
Rushikesh praised Ryusui’s leadership qualities and his willingness to tackle impossible challenges. The character’s mindset encourages viewers to believe they can overcome any obstacle. Ryusui does not just talk big. He backs up his confidence with action, whether it is captaining the Perseus or finding solutions when everyone else has given up.
Tsukasa Is Not a Villain, Says Soneer Vadhera
Soneer Vadhera offered a fresh take on Tsukasa, the strongest high school primate often seen as the first major antagonist. Vadhera pushed back against labeling Tsukasa as a simple villain.
“Tsukasa villain nahi hai,” Vadhera stated. “I don’t see Tsukasa as a villain.”
Vadhera explained that Tsukasa’s motivations come from a genuine place. He wants to create a world without corrupt adults, even if his methods are extreme. The character’s complexity makes him one of the most interesting figures in the series. Vadhera encouraged fans to look beyond the surface and understand the ideals driving Tsukasa’s actions.
