Chapter 197

**A Stony Eden and Its Forbidden Fruit** (石 (いし) だらけのエデンと禁 (きん) 断 (だん) の果 (か) 実 (しつ) , *Ishi-darake no Eden to Kindan no Kashitsu*) is the one hundred and ninety-seventh chapter of the *Dr. Stone* manga.

## Summary

With Senku revived, he thanks Suika for her hard work. She tells him that she only made enough formula to revive him, to which he responds that there is another method to make the Revival Fluid quicker.

He and Suika get to work making more revival fluid, with Senku being able to make some in just a day thanks to the Ostwald process. Suika is shocked because it took her years, and calls Senku amazing. Nevertheless, he still congratulates Suika on being able to revive him.

Sixteen days after reviving, Senku has made sixteen doses of revival fluid for their allies, the first of which goes to Kohaku, who, upon seeing Suika, is amazed to see her older. Suika states that now they are around the same age so she cannot ask for a hug anymore. However, the two are overcome by emotion and share a tearful embrace.

Once all their other allies are revived, Tsukasa asks Senku what will happen with Hyoga, as he was sure he was dead. Despite his fatal injuries, Hyoga is revived, much to the awe of Tsukasa.

Hyoga then works with Tsukasa to find animal skin to be made into clothes for everyone. That night, Ryusui explains that after feasting they will journey to revive all their allies around the globe before continuing on their quest to revive all 7 billion people. Chrome comments that Senku retained his scars, with the latter explaining it may have been because of weathering. Gen then hints to Senku that Tsukasa may want to talk to him. The mentalist then entertains everyone with a magic show.

Later that night, after going to relieve himself, Chrome spots Tsukasa and Senku talking. Tsukasa mentions how he was sure that Hyoga was dead and Senku confirms that both him and Tsukasa died the first time they were injured meaning that the Petrification Weapon can nullify death. Tsukasa states that now, humanity is immortal. The petrification device is a scientific taboo not meant for humanity, a forbidden fruit. Overhearing, a hiding Chrome is speechless at this notion.
