magma

The hot-headed antagonist of the stone world

• Debut appearance: Chapter 20

This villain may not have had the brains, but he definitely had the brawn. Magma was one of Ishigami's strongest and aspired to become village leader, even if it meant killing or suppressing his competitors. Magma wasn't a great thinker and tried to solve everything with strength and instincts.

His one-track mind made him easy to manipulate, and he fit the description of the warriors of the ancient civilization before modernization. After the appearance of humans before petrification, Magma became insecure and hoped to prove his strength and presence by proving he was stronger or by simply removing all possible obstacles to his dream of becoming chief of Ishigami Village , stood in the way.

Mozu

A master of manipulation and combat

• Debut appearance: Chapter 106

The Dr. Stone Character was not a main villain, but rather the secondary antagonist of Treasure Island, but even then he was enough to put a stop to the Kingdom of Science's plans. Despite being a post-petrification human, more or less equivalent to an ancient civilization, Mozu was combat-intelligent, understanding the intricacies of war and using it to his advantage.

He was described as “selfish, strong as an ox and calculating to boot.” A description that showed exactly how fearsome an enemy he was. Mozu was loyal to Ibara and served as his henchman, at least until the Kingdom of Science was at stake and his life was at stake.

Hyoga

The visionary with intelligence and strength

• Debut appearance: Chapter 46

This villain was greatly feared and respected for both his physical and mental abilities. Hyoga was strong enough to compete with Tsukasa, the strongest primate high school student at the time. Furthermore, he always intended to usurp Tsukasa despite working with him, and did just that.

As a villain, Hyoga wasn't afraid to exploit people's weaknesses to get to them; even if that weakness was someone's younger sister, as seen with Tsukasa. As every modern scientist knows, Hyoga was a strong proponent of Social Darwinism. He fully believed and supported Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest and believed that the weak were nothing more than disposable food.

Ibara

A tyrant driven by greed and self-preservation

• Debut appearance: Chapter 1707

From Stones Ibara's unique disposition makes him an unforgettable experience. Unlike villains like Tsukasa and Why Man, Ibara was a true villain. He did not see himself as “helping or giving a gift to the world”, but rather he simply wrested power from the head of the Petrification Kingdom on Treasure Island and established himself as a dictatorship, enjoying women, power and wealth as he saw fit fit.

As a villain, Ibara had nothing to give the world and just wanted to take, take, and take some more. He was greedy, manipulative and extremely scheming and believed himself to be worth more than others. Regardless of whether a follower was loyal to him or not, Ibara simply used them as a means to an end – an undeniably fitting trait for a villain.

Stanley Snyder

A fierce ally of Dr. Xeno's ambitions

• Debut appearance: Chapter 151 (Full Debut)

This former military soldier served as an antagonist in two storylines. One was the South America Arc, where he was the main antagonist, and the other was the New America City Arc, where he was a secondary antagonist. As a former military soldier, Stanley is a skilled fighter and knowledgeable about the methods of war and military laws in general.

His instincts are sharp and he is very observant, as you would expect from a true military man. During the series, Stanley served as a close advisor and friend to Dr. Xeno, as he strongly supported Xeno's goal of world domination. In a way, he was to Xeno what Zoro is to Luffy, but on another side.

Xeno Houston Wingfield

A brilliant mind's quest for control

• Debut appearance: Chapter 151 (Full Debut)

Like Senku, Dr. Xeno really a scientist. Before being petrified, he had worked with NASA and was well known in the field, and even Senku looked up to him. Like Senku, Dr.

Since he is very similar to Senku, Dr. He wanted total control over the Stone World and was willing to sacrifice even Senku, a protégé he loved. Xeno was a villain who had the brains to challenge Senku, and along with the likes of Stanley, he also had military might, making him well-equipped overall.

Tsukasa

The protector who takes justice into his own hands

• Debut appearance: Chapter 1 (Petrified)

Even though he was an early villain Dr. StoneTsukasa's role in the overall plot continued to become more significant and he established himself as one of the best villains, even better than many of his predecessors in terms of villainy. Tsukasa was not a villain because of his wealth, power, or greed, but because he saw it as an opportunity to purify humanity.

This obsession with doing so in a world where purifying humanity simply meant not reviving it was a borderline delusional act that he fully believed in and which fueled his ambitions significantly. Additionally, as the strongest primate high school student, he had the ability to turn his dreams into reality.

Why man

The being behind humanity's downfall

• Debut appearance: Chapter 95 (voice)

The final boss of the Dr. Stone It turns out that the manga series and the source of the entire petrification was not a human at all, but an alien machine/life form imbued with AI. Why Man, the main and overarching antagonist of the series, turned out to be a collection of the petrification devices themselves, and this discovery was mind-boggling to say the least.

As an antagonist, Why Man saw himself as superior to humans and gave them the gift of “eternal life”; However, eternal life during petrification can hardly be considered alive, and the kingdom of science fought back. As a villain, Why Man may not have been the smartest, but it was undoubtedly the reason the Kingdom of Science outdid itself and flew into space to fight off aliens.
