However, Senku, a man of science, strives to rebuild the newfound world into the 21st century and beyond with the help of his Kingdom of Science, which he has built, step by step, while encountering numerous obstacles along the way.
In the Kingdom of Science, while there are several brainy individuals, the kingdom has also amassed a number of tough fighters, full of brawn and adept skill, making Senku’s group a formidable outfit. In terms of the Kingdom of Science inDr. Stone, this concoction of personalities will be ranked on their strength level in combat based on the current eventsin the anime.
17Senku Ishigami
Physically Weak But Harnesses the Power of Science
Senku, the Kingdom of Science leader and science mastermind, is one of the few characters inDr. Stoneto have minimal physical capabilities as a fighter. However, Senku can always pull a hat out of the bag with his ingenious schemes and plans that have enabled his kingdom to succeed and thrive. Senku’s physical prowess is relatively weak, considering that, while having Homura pinned down, the acrobatic girl is easily able to break free from Senku’s hold.
Even whenSenku won the Ishigami Village tournamentto become chief, he achieved this through sheer luck and the deterioration of his opponents, despite his lack of power without the tools of science.
16Chrome
The Kingdom of Science’s Second Senior Scientist Who Can Fight When the Need Arises
One of Ishigami Village’s own, Chrome, possesses strengths that lie in his resourcefulness with materials and keen mind for science, rather than combat. Thanks to his scavenging adventures, Chrome is a physically fit individual, often traveling long distances to the amazement of many.
In the Grand Bout in Ishigami Village,Chrome manages to outwit and outmaneuverMagma with additional aid from Gen Asagiri, a formidable opponent, utilizing the ways of science. Even in the lead-up to the bout, Chrome trained consistently, despite his limited physical talent, always believing he had a chance to secure a victory.
15Taiju Oki
Incredibly Strong Friend of Senku Who Never Opts to Fight
The often loud Taiju Oki, Senku’s best friend, became only the second ever member of the Kingdom of Science, before it became a budding colony led by Senku. Taiju’s main attributes are his freakish strength and unrelenting mindset in completing manual labor jobs, which make him a trustworthy worker who is highly valued by Senku in his kingdom.
Despite his outlandish strength, Taiju has no hateful bone in his body, refusing to fight back against those who wish to hurt him or his friends, making him a non-threatening presence in fights. ThroughoutDr. Stone, Taiju has taken numerous hard hits, impressing Moz in particular with his ability to withstand the vicious punch Moz delivers.
14Yo Uei
Violent Police Officer Who is Adept With a Tonfa
One of the Tsukasa Empire’s known individuals, Yo Uei, was a police officer in training before the petrification, with his trigger-happy and reckless behavior seeing him shoot a suspect. Once brought back to life, Yo takes on the position of jail overseer, keeping a close eye on an imprisoned Chrome. Known to favor the use of a tonfa, Yo is adept when possessing the weapon, able to take down a Tsukasa Empire grunt with his trusty weapon of choice.
Upon becoming a part of the Kingdom of Science, Yo was given the privilege of wielding a crafted pistol, considering his police background. Despite being rusty at first, Yo becomes a steady shot over time, proving to beversatile and proficient.
13Ginro
WImpy Warrior that Has Moments of Brilliance
As the younger brother of Kinro, one would suspect Ginro to be a talented fighter. However, while Ginro can fight when push comes to shove, the timid former guard of Ishigami Village is often reluctant or lost in his cowardly ways. Usually seen as keen on wielding a spear, Ginro is an individual who prefers the idea and image of a combatant rather than engaging in actual combat.
Despite being a coward, Ginro has proven his skill throughoutDr. Stone,as evidenced by his ability to defeat Argo, a challenging opponent, in the Ishigami Village tournament. Later in the Treasure Island arc,while disguised as a woman, Ginro displays incredible grace and flair when performing the spearman’s dance, impressing the native islanders, showcasing his skill with his preferred weapon.
12Nikki Hanada
Hardcore Lillian Weinberg Fan With Judo Background
Nikki Hanada is one of the most prominent characters to come from the Tsukasa Empire, defecting to the side of the Kingdom of Science once aware of its capabilities. The fanatical fan of Lillian Weinberg has often showcased her physical strength, with Nikki delivering solid blows to Taiju and consistently keeping overzealous characters such as Magma and Yo in check, serving as a vital member of the power team.
Coming from a judo background, Nikki’s education in modern martial arts serves her well in her role in the Kingdom of Science, where she is always ready to get physical in any situation.
11Magma
Selfish Brute Who Can Handle Himself in Combat
The selfish and scheming brute Magma has been a force to bereckoned withthroughoutDr. Stone, continually devising ways to conquer and take control of his village and the Kingdom of Science. Packed with pure muscle, Magma is a straightforward individual who can pack a punch, with the character being able to take down Kinro using his nefarious ways in the competition to crown the new chief of Ishigami Village.
Magma is one of the few characters to attempt murder, nearly killing Gen soon after falsely suspecting he was Senku as he arrived at Ishigami Village. The impulsive Magma may not be the strongest. However, his confidence never wanes, giving him a chance no matter the obstacle.
10Kinro
Stoic and Honorable Ishigami Guard
One ofIshigami Village’s mightiest fighters, Kinro, has been a loyal soldier of the Kingdom of Science, wielding a spear and serving as one of its bodyguards. From the moment Senku showed up in their quaint village, Kinro’s abilities in combat have only strengthened, thanks to the powers of science that have granted him glasses, allowing Kinro to have perfect vision.
In the tournament, to be the chief of their village, Kinro effectively secures victory against Magma with his new glasses, despite eventually losing after taking his eye off his opponent. From then on, Kinro has joined in on the Kingdom of Science’s adventures, proving useful on Treasure Island, fighting off the island’s warriors as a distraction for Rysui Nanami to steal the petrification artifact.
9Kokuyo
Former Chief of Ishigami Village
Ruri and Kohaku’s father, Kokuyo, was formerly the chief of Ishigami Village before Senku gained the title, ranking as the village’s best fighter, winning the tournament to crown the leader of their settlement.Respected by all the village’s peoplefor his leadership qualities and physical attributes, Kokuyo plays an active role in the war against the Tsukasa Empire, joining the frontline against terrifying foes such as Hyoga Akatsuki and Tsukasa Shishio.
Shown to wield katanas crafted by Kaseki and Senku, Kokuyo continues to fight, even becoming involved in the voyage to Treasure Island, where, despite his age, Kokuyo is still a fearsome opponent.
8Ukyo Saionji
Skilled Archer With Superhuman Hearing
In a primitive world lacking sufficient technology, the mastery of utilizing a bow and arrow in the Stone Age is a highly sought-after skill, with Tsukasa enlisting the aid of Ukyo Saionji, a former sonar technician renowned for his exceptional hearing. Besides his hearing capabilities, Ukyo’s greatest attributes include his exceptional archery, which is capable of incredible accuracy from several hundred yards away.
When Chrome and Magma cause a scene on the outskirts of Tsukasa’s base of operations, Ukyo purposely misses the pair by an inch, indicating his skill and lack of enthusiasm for inflicting death and damage. Such skills enabled Ukyo to become the third most senior member of the Tsukasa Empire, before hisallegiances shiftedto the Kingdom of Science. Ukyo’s apparent abilities and intelligence make the character a formidable foe, despite lacking the natural power and brawn of many others in the anime.
