INTRODUCTION
Discovering Why-man, the architect of humanity's petrification, resides on the moon, Senku embarks on the ambitious "Moon Landing Project" to solve the ultimate mysteries. This monumental undertaking necessitates building a spacecraft from the ground up.
Senku and his team immediately set off to circumnavigate the globe, gathering the essential materials for their vessel. Their first stop, America, leads them to an unexpected encounter: an advanced Kingdom of Science led by Dr. Xeno. A swift, intense battle of scientific prowess ensues, with both sides aiming to neutralize the opposing leader. Ultimately, Chrome and his team succeed in capturing Dr. Xeno.
Evading Stanley's relentless pursuit, their next objective is the source of the devastating petrification beam: South America. As they meticulously unravel the secrets of the "Medusa" petrification device, Senku and his companions speed through the Amazon, continuously innovating and crafting. With Stanley's forces closing in, Senku and the Kingdom of Science are determined to safeguard the spirit of scientific discovery as they finally reach the heart of Medusa.

Sega's first Japan store signals ‘immersive entertainment' push
In a world where video game sales are almost all digital , why go back to brick-and-mortar stores? Merchandise. Japanese video game publishers are increasingly listening to investors demanding they leverage their treasure trove of intellectual property into tangible goods that avid fans are only too happy to snap up. Nintendo jumped into the fray early, opening its flagship store in New York's Rockefeller Center in 2005, but the Kyoto-based gaming giant would not open a store in its home country until 2019 in Tokyo, 2022 in Osaka and 2023 in Kyoto. A new outlet in Fukuoka is expected to open this year.
