The story moves at a very fast pace. After being petrified again for seven years, Suika managed to bring everyone back. Now Senku has to catch up on lost time and finish building a spaceship using nothing but science and the resources available in the stone world. The team travels to India to recruit Sai, a math genius who is also Ryusui Nanami‘s brother. With Sai’s help, Senku finally builds a working computer to calculate the rocket’s path to the moon.
The opening theme song for this final part is “Skins” performed by Asian Kung-Fu Generation, a popular rock band known for many classic anime songs.

New characters also join the final part. Seiichiro Yamashita, known for his role as Cid Kagenou in The Eminence in Shadow, voices Sai, the math expert recruited in India. Kenji Nojima continues as Dr. Xeno, the American scientist who now works with Senku.
