The anime expanded the time Suika is alone in the world; it was just three chapters (194~196), but we got a full episode out of it.
And I’m glad it did. It doesn’t change the plot at all, but it gives Suika’s time alone a well-deserved depth.
Sure, she woke up all alone, just like Senku did seven years earlier. But unlike Senku she was still a child, and the episode showed well how lonely and vulnerable she felt. (Specially the part where she hugs Kohaku’s statue.) And Suika was never shown to be a talented scientist or anything similar; she wasn’t even undergo modern education. And yet she was able to make the revival fluid. It plays really well with the theme of the anime, on science being not quite the result of a few talented individuals, but of knowledge accumulated over time: previous knowledge (Senku notes), failures (the rain over the nitrate crystals), and eventually success.
By far one of the best episodes I watched this season.

Not that I disagree, but I could’ve done without the “ew it’s just scrap paper” and “nah screw the slow one” moments. It was so obvious those were the actual problem solvers. I feel like there are more graceful ways to give hints lmao.

I liked it. It was obvious for the viewers, but Suika was still a child, and it’s how children think - they want easy and fast solutions. It also shows well that with science you don’t get ir right the first time, you need to be a bit stubborn.

Definitely! It’s more how they executed it rather than the actual events that made it unbelievable. It was so on the nose.

Done!
Also, all the screenshots are done by hand, so as long as you indicate which one you want clearly enough for a human to understand, it should be ok.
