Title: Clear World

Air Date: September 13, 2019

Summary:

In Episode 11, Senku and his team take another step toward modern science by producing high-quality glass. Their goal is to create laboratory equipment, particularly for making medicine. Senku enlists Chrome and Suika to help refine their glassmaking techniques, which proves challenging due to the intricate craftsmanship required. To improve their skills, they recruit Kaseki, a skilled yet reclusive craftsman from the village. With his expertise, they successfully create glass lenses, allowing Suika—who has poor vision—to see clearly for the first time.

Key Points:

• The introduction of Kaseki, the skilled craftsman.

• The creation of high-quality glass for lab equipment.

• Suika receives custom-made glass lenses, improving her vision.

• Progress toward making medicine for Ruri’s illness.

Notable Quotes:

• “Science isn’t just about progress. It’s about helping people, one step at a time.” – Senku Ishigami

• “I’ve never seen the world so clearly before!” – Suika

Impressions:

Episode 11 highlights the emotional impact of science through Suika’s vision improvement while also reinforcing Senku’s grander mission. The introduction of Kaseki as a valuable team member adds depth to the village’s growing technological evolution.

My Thoughts:

Excited to see if this Cola in the Stone Age really comes to fruition.  Ironically for multiple tasks glass will be needed including the cola bottle, glasses for their near-sighted friend and for more complex experiments that require glass vases, pipettes and other lab basics.
We also get a nice interlude in this episode from Mecha Senku . This is a cool interlude where we get to see all the scientific advancements this far and where the kingdom of science’s base and resources stand compared to “Tsukasa-land”.
