Dr. Stone Season 2 Episode 2, titled "Hot Line," will feature Senku and his friends preparing for the war. The anime is closely inching toward the manga's story, so fans may already know what may happen here.

The anime's second season premiered with a huge noise, successfully maintaining the hype that the first season started. As the Stones Wars arc continues, a battle against Tsukasa is about to ensue in Dr. Stone Season 2 Episode 2.

According to TV Season Spoilers, Senku and his pals are putting together everything they need to face Tsukasa's army to decide who will be the ruler of the primitive stone world. They will set the stage for an upcoming intense battle, officially starting what they call the Stone Wars.

Tsukasa's real intentions may be revealed in the upcoming episode. Fans may soon see his plans on how to deal with the Kingdom of Science and Senku himself.

Dr. Stone Season 2 Episode 2 will also give a glimpse of Gen's idea, showing if it's a success or not. The enemy-turned-ally may show all the improvements he has gone through, hinting at an episode that will feature many twists and turns.

Dr. Stone Season 2 Episode 1 started with Gen, recalling the events that happened to the children of the village in the first season, The Cinemaholic noted. Senku then thought of using space food to be more superior to Tsukasa and his empire in the much-awaited battle during the winter season.

He wanted to save "freeze-dried" ramen with the help of Chrome and Kaseki. Later, Gen told Senku his plan to use a record of Lillian's voice to convince Tsukasa's army that human civilization started existing in the U.S.

This move might help them convince more people in the empire to go against Tsukasa, making it easier for them to capture the villain and Hyoga. Chrome, who was eavesdropping, barged in, and they executed the plan together.

The next day, they used a "blast of sonic bombs" to get Tsukasa's scout's attention and secretly put the device near the empire. So, in Dr. Stone Season 2 Episode 2, fans may get to see if this move works.

The new episode will drop on Thursday, January 21, at 9:30 p.m. Japan Standard Time, per GamenGuides. On the other hand, the international audience will also see it when it releases at 12:30 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time, 7:30 a.m. Eastern Time, 11:30 p.m. Australian Eastern Time, and 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
