*This article contains major spoilers from the Dr. Stone manga.

In Chapter 95 and Episode 38 of Dr. Stone, a mysterious figure known as Why-man makes his debut. He communicates through Morse code, continuously sending the word “Why?” This enigmatic character surfaces shortly after the Kingdom of Science turns on a strong radio transmitter. Suspicions quickly arise that this device could be connected to the global event causing petrification.

As its origin remains unclear and it lacks a definite physical form, Why-man becomes the subject of much debate among Senku and his companions as they ponder whether this mystery entity is an ally or adversary. Delve deeper into this article to uncover all the details about the enigmatic figure, but be warned: there are potential spoilers ahead.

 

Initially, the eerie depiction of Why-man, characterized by a gaunt, skeletal visage, was symbolic rather than its actual form in the series Dr. Stone. However, the truth is far more astonishing: Why-man isn’t a character but a collective consciousness that emanates from alien technology referred to as Medusa.

These self-aware robots traverse the cosmos in quest of intelligent beings who can comprehend them and replicate their kind. Their objective is to endure and multiply by forming symbiotic relationships with more advanced civilizations.

In the anime Dr. Stone, it was erroneously assumed by the Medusa units that human intelligence was insufficient due to their slow recovery following global petrification. Over thousands of years, Why-man, stranded on the Moon, puzzled over humanity’s silence and questioned whether they had turned down the offer of eternal life.

Over time, it started communicating and even tried to help humans with the use of petrifying devices, yet its intentions were frequently misconstrued or dismissed. The hostile behavior of mankind, such as multiple attempts to petrify Earth, solidified it as a formidable threat.

As the tale unfolds, the realm of Science gradually uncovers the real character and objectives of Why-man. Most mechanical beings opt to depart Earth in search of alternative habitats, but not Medusa; fueled by her insatiable curiosity and desire for harmony, she remains on this planet.

In the final stages of Dr. Stone, the enigmatic character known as Why-man shifts from being a mysterious danger to a reflection of mankind’s advancements. Essentially serving as a link between humanity and its alien creators, this device symbolizes the series’ main idea – science, which is both a means for survival and a vehicle for mutual comprehension.
