This is the story of Senku and his friends, who use the power of science to overcome fiction. The theme of the fourth season, the final chapter of the anime, is “The Future of Science.” We are finally setting the stage in the world and getting closer to the mystery of the petrification of all humankind. All of the production staff will do their best to make the anime even more exciting than ever, so we ask for your continued support.
I want to depict a hopeful future for Senku and his friends. Please look forward to the next report.

As we moved forward one by one with our incredible goals, we also gained a lot of friends who helped us complete the animation.
I will be able to draw the animation from the third season onward to the original work. I will continue to participate in the project. I couldn’t be more pleased.
We still have a long way to go, but just like Senku and the others, we will do our best to deliver an even better anime to everyone through trial and error.
