Alright, so, I’ve been super into “Dr. Stone,” right? And season 3 just dropped, which is awesome. But like everyone else, I was kinda confused about when episode 12 was actually coming out.

First, I jumped onto Crunchyroll, ’cause that’s where I usually catch all my anime. But, surprise, surprise, there was nothing there about episode 12, just the usual stuff about the first cour of the season. Then I started digging around online.
Found a bunch of different dates, which was, honestly, a bit of a headache. Some sites said October 12th, others said the 13th. And then there was this whole thing about Japan time versus other time zones. It was a mess! I read somewhere that it was gonna air at 10:30 PM JST on the 13th, which, if my sleepy brain did the math right, is like 7:30 AM PT on the 12th, at least for me.
After way too much time, I finally figured it out. Episode 12 of “Dr. Stone: New World”, this is the season 3, is dropping on October 12th in the US. Yeah! I marked it on my calendar, set like three alarms, ’cause I don’t wanna miss it.
Found out some other cool stuff, too. Apparently, this is just the start of the second cour of season 3, and there are gonna be 11 episodes in total. Also, get this – there’s gonna be a season 4! It’s called “Dr. Stone: Science Future.” How cool is that? It’s gonna be on Crunchyroll, too. But the manga? That’s already finished, back in March 2022.
Oh, and the best part? Season 4 is coming out on January 9, 2025, and it’s gonna be split into three parts. So we’ve got a lot of “Dr. Stone” to look forward to!

- Checked Crunchyroll for the release date.
- Searched online and found conflicting information.
- Figured out the correct date: October 12th for the US.
- Learned about the second cour of season 3 and the upcoming season 4.
- Discovered that the manga series has concluded.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure in finding out when episode 12 is coming out. It was a bit of a wild ride, but hey, at least now I know, and I’m all set for more “Dr. Stone”!
Can’t wait to see what Senku and the gang are up to next. Science rules, am I right?
