ok, for those who are confused: ARO/ACE means Aromantic/Asexual. Those who are aromantic do not feel romantic attraction, and those who are asexual do not feel sexual attraction. Someone who is aro/ace typically feels neither. You can google if you would like to learn more. Also, this is a HEADCANON. It's not confirmed that Senkuu is aro/ace, and if you think he is otherwise, that's totally fine. But this is a compilation of moments that radiate a very aro/ace energy that those who are aro/ace can relate to, and point some evidence to our theory that he might be. Also what the hell happened? I was gone for a week and the view count shot up 1000% Go home.
Ah- just a small correction on your defs, Aromantics and Asexuals either feel non, or little attraction in their respective manners. Both identities are a spectrum, and have different identities under each “umbrella” term ^^ But I’d love to see more content like this! It’s rare to find anything like this video, so I heavily appreciate it!
"Are you into men or women?" Senku: "Science" "No, I mean are you straight or gay?" Senku: "I'm a scientist." "I mean what's in your pants?" Senku: "Corrosive chemicals."
- shows up in a village unannounced - participates in tournament - sets opposition on fire and wins - marries the priestess - divorces the priestess and takes all the alcohol - refuses to elaborate - leaves
There’s a couple things I really like about this series. One, Senku isn’t interested in romance but he does recognize when someone else has a crush, unlike most Shonen and genius heroes who wouldn’t recognize a date if it hit them with a two by four. Two, most characters are pretty direct and will generally just go up to the person they like and say so, instead of dancing around the issue for 500 chapters.
I could totally fit into this type of couple things. Since I just go up and confess whether there's a chance with em or not. I still stick with em until I lose my feelings and start treating them more as a friend, but I make sure to respect their space. 💀🙌
I like that Senku isn’t oblivious to romantic attraction and all that stuff, he genuinely just isn’t interested. A lot of the time characters who aren’t interested is romantic stuff just can’t tell when their being flirted with, but Senku realises a girl is interesting and just think, “I can probably get her to work for me”.
i wouldn't really count saiki tho. because like near the end of the anime, it does feel like he's starting to fall for kokomi. so i don't really think he would be aromantic, ace maybe, but not aromantic.
Apparently the only thing that Senku felt any sort of attraction/interest in was the creation of baking soda, and honestly? Hell yeah, baking soda is fucking incredible.
Lord I absolutely felt that when he said “I don’t need that kinda crap. I wanna know the science behind it!” And it got me thinking like what sort of brain chemicals make you love.
Well I read an article once but I don’t remember it very well - in short it was something like - when you see someone you compare them to your ideal by looks and chcaracter for ex you compara a girl to your mother because your mother is beautiful but also kind and hard working when the person is close to those expectations that is when hormones ets get produced , you get butterflies in your stomach and you get the feeling of love , that’s it I think
@@alicjakilijanek5561 Doesn't the fact weather you like the girl or not depend also on her facial structure? It was proven that brain choses its ideal look by some mathematical formula which just represent how are eyes and stuff ike that placed. I think that thats called "the golden cut" or something like that. But it was also proven that hunger can also decide on stuff like that.
Senku does really give off Asexual energy, or he just dosent really show annny intrest in love, romance or sexual needs. Very refreshing in an Anime to have a main charecter like that.
AGAIN asexuals can experience love, Jesus christ its the AROMANTICS who don't experience romantic love, so senku technically radiates aroace energy EDIT(CUZ YALL ARE BLOWING THIS OUT OF PROPORTION AND YALL DONT GET WHAT I MEAN): I am just saying that- when the KOOLER MAN commented, he said that senku gives asexual energy or he just doesn’t show any interest in love(romantic or sexual) YES THE SECOND PART IS CORRECT; what isn’t correct is using the word asexual for him, because, asexual is the wrong term. so it shouldn’t even be a suggestion at this point. It shouldn’t even be associated with senku, since he doesn’t show any inclination to romantic love, and asexuals do. THE MORE APPROPRIATE TERM WOULD BE ARO-ACE. Why am I so hellbent on the labels? I am not, but since we choose to use labels, we should do it correctly. Is that clear? :)
@@devinaghose9318 iI didn't say Asexuals dont experience love. I said Senku dosent show interest in sexual activities or love. When i said Asexual energy i was talking about his sexuality, then i wrote "OR he dosent have intrest in love". BIG DIFFERENCE, please read my comment carefully before jumping to conclusions i khow what being Asexual entails. Senku hasn'tshown any sexual intrest in anything so im not wrong. He could be arooce if anything.
@@devinaghose9318 I was not harming anyone in my comment. I never said that Asexual = Not having romantic feelings. I wasnt spreading misinformation or any hate to harm anyone. All i said was senku dosent show any intrest for sexual or romantic needs whatsoever. Not having Sexual interest is associated with Asexuality, and he gives off Asexual energy similar to anyone who is Asexual with not having intrest in sexual activity or plessure. i Never said Senku was Asexual, just that he radiates that train of thought. Im not getting into the nitty gritty of Labeling Senku cuz Labels dont and shouldn't define anyone. Senku is also fictional so we will never khow unless the author writes it. Unlike you, i belive people should express themselves without others having the dying need to put label stamps on them for you to be more comfortable. Its the same as diagnosing someone, and sexuality and self expression should not feel like that nobody should feel pressure to find a label that fits society description for them.
@@devinaghose9318 As someone who’s ace-aro, I truly don’t think there was anything at all wrong with what they said. They literally never implied that asexuality automatically included aromanticism, I personally think you’re really reading into this too deep
@@vardets1032 well we can't conclude either way. It could be he is completely focused on his love for science and hasn't had any feelings YET, he may simply grow into it when older (they are still very young) or he could just be an ace and won't ever feel that way about anyone.

hahaha its so weird how in the last 10 years there have been more and more people doing compilations like these and I even get them in my recommended while before there was virtually no content about asexuality or aromanticism. Im all for this change 👌👌
"In that case I want divorce" *Immediately cuts to Senku laughing and talking about alcohol* I- was this on purpose?? Like bruh that timing is perfect 😂😂😂😂
It happened exactly like that. As soon as they talked about senku having to stay for the party thing he said he wanted a divorce and ran off with the alcohol cause he got what he wanted out of it lol
Nah that wasn't edited its exactly how ot went thats why I love this anime and also He took the alchohol from his marrige party to go do science stuff.
I have an aro/ace friend and she's super pretty, so she started 'dating' this other aro/ace person so neither of them had to deal with relationships. Senku gives me the same vibes I get from her.
as a grey aromantic, I approve even though I’ve never watched the anime so I don’t know the context behind each scene, he’s my favorite character already
Breed but also just emotionally bond. Humans tend to survive best when they travel in groups so we evolved to feel love as incentive to take care of members in our families/community and protect our offspring because they pass on our genes.
@@simi5558 Fic in question, unfortunately I think it's discontinued, just recently checked it again and didn't find any updates. Maybe there are others similar, didn't check in with the Ao3 in a long time
@@weebisaweirdword6380 stop the cap, you clearly haven't watched cowboy bebop and fma/fma brotherhood Those were old animes I watched growing up and I still prefer the dub even tho I'm a sub watcher. Note; these did not come out in 2021 I watched inuyasha and detective Conan growing up too but I can't remember if it was that good.
Jasper: "Senku, you won the tournament, so you have to marry Ruri." Senku: "Fine, I'll marry Ruri, but only so I can acquire the village." The village people: "Here, have some alcohol." Senku: "Honey, we're getting a divorce."
My head cannon is that when the world is brought back to normal, taxes come back so Senku and Gen get married just to avoid taxes and save money on the fundamental things like food and shelter.I think it would just be really funny to see them live together like that. Edit: Hit send before I finished.
Theyre so similiar yet so different. I love them as a queerplatonic ship more tho. Aroace senku and bisexual gen who understands senkuu cant feel romantic/sexual attraction is the best.
Okay let me properly explain the terms “aromantic” and “asexual” to you newcomers. “Aromantic” is when somebody has no romantic attraction to others. They can still love, but just not in a romantic way. They have no desire to be in relationships. “Asexual” does NOT mean having no sexual urges. It means not having any sexual attraction towards other individuals. They can still be in relationships, kiss, think somebody is good-looking, and partake in intercourse, but the difference is that they just don’t feel sexual attraction towards them. That doesn’t mean that they have no libido or don’t have sex in general. There are actually 3 different types of asexuals: sex-negative - these people just don’t want to have sex. They object or are usually repulsed or disgusted by the idea. Or maybe they just have a lack of sexual desire. Sex-neutral - these people are just generally not interested in sexual activities. They’re not repulsed by it but they don’t necessarily seek it either. Most times these people would only partake in intercourse with their partner or are usually just open to the idea of it. Sex-positive - these people are all for the idea of sex. They enjoy it just like every other person, but the only thing they lack is sexual attraction. I just thought I should inform you guys of the correct meaning of these words so you don’t use them incorrectly, since I’ve noticed a lot of people are misunderstanding them in the comment section. Hope this helped you understand a little :)
I know people usually dont like dubs but trust me when I say this dub is top tier. Like one of the best dubs to ever come out. It's up there for me with fma brotherhood code Geass and death note for the best ones
I've always HC Senku as ace so this video makes me so goddamn happy. Idk i just think it's fitting and adorable at the same time. Thank you for the video, sqealed as soon as i saw the thumbail
Any woman who lays eyes on Senku: I love you Senku: pls don’t It’s funny because it’s canon that he knows how handsome he is so he literally knows he could manipulate whoever is attracted to him...
Monkey d Luffy. I remember the Creator answering a question that all the crew have too much of a love for adventure to think about romance. and some of the characters I don't see it. but I definitely see it with Luffy
Lmao I came here only to relive the "pump a ton of oxygen into my furnace) I just finished S2 but I think that of all moments in this series, that is the most out of context
Aroace and aro and ace people are so valid! But I wish there was a way that you couldn't form crushes on aro people. I found out my crush was aro and I felt so depressed for a while jhbvugfyubuuhb
While that means your crush cannot be romantically attracted to you, I'm sure they can still love you back platonically! Aroacr people tend to give all that energy into their friendship
I also wish people couldn't get crushes on aros. Loosing a dear friend because they have feelings you can't reciprocate is the worst! I'm a very affectionate person, but I always hold back on expressing myself in fear it'll get misunderstood as romantic interest (T - T)
That's why I love Dr. Stone as a aromantic myself. Ugh sometimes romance in the wrong moments can cause me to drop the entire show and series. And Dr. Stone is just perfect for my taste 👌 You get science, amazing characters, and no awkward romance because though I dislike it, small portion and natural circumstances make romance good, so that's why I love the bits in the anime with Taiju x Yuzuriha because they are placed very fittingly and never overdone 😌👌 just perfecto!
It's all but outright confirmed he's aro/ace. He has a lot of platonic love for his friends, even if he doesn't want to show it, but science is the only thing that really gets his heart racing.
I would agree. This show is very clear about representation, especially stuff later on. Besides Senku, In Season 3, there is a character essentially using a variation of a bend and snap to her advantage, while some characters absolutely smitten, Senku and Gen aren't. I think it is interesting that Gen doesn't fall for it either because that suggests that Gen is gay, which I'd say makes sense. Francouis uses they/them pronouns and it is treated like that's just the logical thing to address them by. A lot of people have headcannons but these are things that are consistent and none more so than Senku.
ok, for those who are confused: ARO/ACE means Aromantic/Asexual. Those who are aromantic do not feel romantic attraction, and those who are asexual do not feel sexual attraction. Someone who is aro/ace typically feels neither. You can google if you would like to learn more.

hahaha its so weird how in the last 10 years there have been more and more people doing compilations like these and I even get them in my recommended while before there was virtually no content about asexuality or aromanticism. Im all for this change 👌👌
Yeah, I think aro/ace awareness has only recently started increasing, and it's great to see
YES!!!!!!!!!
@@boredlord4315
wait I’m confused how is Senku aro? I understand ace but why aro? Sorry just curious
edit: Wait nevermind I think I knwo now
ME FREAKING TOO
I'm loving people starting to notice us more
This is legit
"In that case I want divorce"
*Immediately cuts to Senku laughing and talking about alcohol*
I- was this on purpose?? Like bruh that timing is perfect 😂😂😂😂
That’s how it happened in the show, I’m pretty sure.
It happened exactly like that. As soon as they talked about senku having to stay for the party thing he said he wanted a divorce and ran off with the alcohol cause he got what he wanted out of it lol
Ran off with the alcohol and his ex's younger sister. If it were anyone but Senku that would be significant
Nah that wasn't edited its exactly how ot went thats why I love this anime and also He took the alchohol from his marrige party to go do science stuff.
While running away with his wife’s sister.
I have an aro/ace friend and she's super pretty, so she started 'dating' this other aro/ace person so neither of them had to deal with relationships. Senku gives me the same vibes I get from her.
I kinda want to do that too :F
Lavender marriage lets goo
damn that's actually really smart
GENIUS
As an aro/ace who's friends with another aro/ace, this is the kinda thing we're doing with marriage hehe
(Edit:typo)
as a grey aromantic, I approve even though I’ve never watched the anime so I don’t know the context behind each scene, he’s my favorite character already
What is that?
@@night_walker2022 I rarely feel romantic attraction
@@0_0gacha22 You should really watch this show! And i really like the idea of senku being aromantic/asexual
I doubt Senku would call himself aro or ace. He's a man on a mission to save the world, romance can wait.
"What people call love is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed" ~Senku probably
It was actually rick Sanchez who said that.
Breed but also just emotionally bond. Humans tend to survive best when they travel in groups so we evolved to feel love as incentive to take care of members in our families/community and protect our offspring because they pass on our genes.
The brain chemicals to be exact
I love how little Senku makes the exact same facial expressions as older Sunku
IT SCARES ME HOW HIS EYES WENT FROM BUG EYED TO SUDDENLY HIS NORMAL EYES HOLY CRAP
Look, I have many ships with Senku, and I've read a ton of fanfics. But aro/ace Senku is the only thing I want as canon and that's final.
Same here. I finally found recently a SenGen ship where Senkuu is Aro/Ace, but they are in a Queerplatonic relationship. My soul felt healed
PRECISELY!
Same
@@zoki4291 omg that exists *loads on fanfics*
@@simi5558 Fic in question, unfortunately I think it's discontinued, just recently checked it again and didn't find any updates. Maybe there are others similar, didn't check in with the Ao3 in a long time
2:40 Freedom science is better than marriage
The thought never crossed my mind about him being Aro/Ace and I just thought he’s too smart to have any interest romance but I think it suits him!
I personally think Dr.stone is one of the few anime’s that actually has a good English dub
Me too i also really like the sk8 the infinity dub.

@@weebisaweirdword6380 stop the cap, you clearly haven't watched cowboy bebop and fma/fma brotherhood
Those were old animes I watched growing up and I still prefer the dub even tho I'm a sub watcher. Note; these did not come out in 2021
I watched inuyasha and detective Conan growing up too but I can't remember if it was that good.
Best time to be ace
Jasper: "Senku, you won the tournament, so you have to marry Ruri."
Senku: "Fine, I'll marry Ruri, but only so I can acquire the village."
The village people: "Here, have some alcohol."
Senku: "Honey, we're getting a divorce."
Senku: so I can save you plus I know you prefer someone else though I will never say this because it’s illogical
1:40 "i dONt fOLlow wHAt yOu aRe iNSiNuATinG" IM GONNA CRY-
If Senku fell in love with a woman, she'd either be a scientist that he respects or a science experiment that he could spend his life toying with.
He's not aro, he's obviously in love with science smh
Point taken.
Very true
Science-Sexual
It's funny when senku called out Tsukasa about praising him. Cause he was right. Tsukasa was already planning shit lol
Idk why but "Choose wisely. Both options are the wrong answer." is now going to be my motto in life LMAO
My head cannon is that when the world is brought back to normal, taxes come back so Senku and Gen get married just to avoid taxes and save money on the fundamental things like food and shelter.I think it would just be really funny to see them live together like that.
Edit: Hit send before I finished.
Oh lord, it's basically Ranboo and Tubbo all over again
@@pluvv3354 lmao yes
REAL
I feel like senku would be filthy rich in that scenario though
@@misty_fogT-T that is totally fair. I just think it would be funny to watch those two live together and see what shenanigans would ensue.
and me STILL simping over him even though I would get rejected on the spot- (also wow- ive never watched this anime in dub, it sounds so odd XD)
I’m skimping for him bc he’s just so ace it’s glorious
@@montgomerymontgomery2681 LOL Im just straight up obsessed with everything about him, I have issues 💀
To be honest, dubed Senku sounds awsome!
@@amargabela7018 yeah! he does. It's just a little new to me -v-
@@amargabela7018 speaking of English VAs its really cool how Tsakusa has the same VA as Mitsuhide (from swwtrh)
I have never watched Dr. Stone but I think I have found my new ace/aro son😩
Watch Saiki kusuo as well. Saiki isn't interested in Romance either and he's my fav character who gives off aro/ace vibes! (+ the anime is hilarious)
@@ines1084 yes
this man is literally living the best life, if I could make a living doing interesting chemistry too I would be so happy
I like the Senku Gen ship because they're both intelligent and sneaky characters but this is lovely too.
Theyre so similiar yet so different. I love them as a queerplatonic ship more tho. Aroace senku and bisexual gen who understands senkuu cant feel romantic/sexual attraction is the best.
@@WhoAmI-hq6zm Either that or Gen just trying and failing to deal with his feelings fics are heartbreaking too
Ew gross, I'm glad senku doesn't like anyone
honestly, i approve of this headcanon
#NotaHeadcanon
@@nitsanraviddaos4797 yes ofc, my bad. It's definitely canon

“I’m willing to bet all my minerals” is a phrase I’m going to start integrating into my everyday life
We all know Senku's true love is Science
I always headcannoned him as aroace secretly for fun but 1:33 was the scene that solidified it for me
I can’t believe child Senku already knows words like “heck” and “crap” 😭
Okay let me properly explain the terms “aromantic” and “asexual” to you newcomers. “Aromantic” is when somebody has no romantic attraction to others. They can still love, but just not in a romantic way. They have no desire to be in relationships. “Asexual” does NOT mean having no sexual urges. It means not having any sexual attraction towards other individuals. They can still be in relationships, kiss, think somebody is good-looking, and partake in intercourse, but the difference is that they just don’t feel sexual attraction towards them. That doesn’t mean that they have no libido or don’t have sex in general. There are actually 3 different types of asexuals:
sex-negative - these people just don’t want to have sex. They object or are usually repulsed or disgusted by the idea. Or maybe they just have a lack of sexual desire.
Sex-neutral - these people are just generally not interested in sexual activities. They’re not repulsed by it but they don’t necessarily seek it either. Most times these people would only partake in intercourse with their partner or are usually just open to the idea of it.
Sex-positive - these people are all for the idea of sex. They enjoy it just like every other person, but the only thing they lack is sexual attraction.
I just thought I should inform you guys of the correct meaning of these words so you don’t use them incorrectly, since I’ve noticed a lot of people are misunderstanding them in the comment section. Hope this helped you understand a little :)
Thank you so much
For someone watching the Japanese dub this was incredibly unexpected but tbh these voices make it even better-
I know people usually dont like dubs but trust me when I say this dub is top tier. Like one of the best dubs to ever come out. It's up there for me with fma brotherhood code Geass and death note for the best ones
@@darknesswave100 I'm actually fine with English dubs, I just watched it with subs because the episodes were out faster lmaooo-
I like the japanese dub more but with commedic series english might be better
I've always HC Senku as ace so this video makes me so goddamn happy. Idk i just think it's fitting and adorable at the same time. Thank you for the video, sqealed as soon as i saw the thumbail
And like in the manga theres about 20x more of these scenes and I love them all so much, Senku is honestly one of my favorite protags
"the kind that can pump a ton of oxygen into my *furnace"*
omg the dub is better than I ever could have imagined
Any woman who lays eyes on Senku: I love you
Senku: pls don’t
It’s funny because it’s canon that he knows how handsome he is so he literally knows he could manipulate whoever is attracted to him...
He kinda did this in the manga tho 👁👁

Senku gave me MASSIVE amounts of aro/ace vibes when I watched Dr Stone. I'm glad I wasn't the only one to pick up on that.
as an aro ace myself i never loved a main character this much in such a long time....
I started watching this show because of this video. As an Asexual myself, I absolutely love Senku’s character.
his-
hi-
his frickin hair is the aromantic flag-
Holy shit-
THAT'S RIGHT-
All the Aro/Ace anime bois have an S in their name,
I kin with all of them ngl
Edit: most of them-
Monkey d Luffy. I remember the Creator answering a question that all the crew have too much of a love for adventure to think about romance. and some of the characters I don't see it. but I definitely see it with Luffy

Let them be : they're stupid. Really stupid. Absolutely and fantastically stupid.
Have I ever watched this anime? No.
Is he now my favorite character of all time? Yes.
Senku's english voice is pretty good, even without the japanese voice psychopath energy
You've officially convinced me to watch Dr. Stone
To all of you valid aro/ace people in the comments, just a reminder I love you all
Awww thank you😭❤this is one of the first times where i heard that (i'm ace)this makes me so happy❤😭
3:41 all his minerals. Those are precious to him. He must mean it
Lmao I came here only to relive the "pump a ton of oxygen into my furnace)
I just finished S2 but I think that of all moments in this series, that is the most out of context
Aroace and aro and ace people are so valid! But I wish there was a way that you couldn't form crushes on aro people. I found out my crush was aro and I felt so depressed for a while jhbvugfyubuuhb
While that means your crush cannot be romantically attracted to you, I'm sure they can still love you back platonically! Aroacr people tend to give all that energy into their friendship
@@PichuElric I know but you’d want to be with them romantically of course they do not owe you anything it still hurts tho 💀
I also wish people couldn't get crushes on aros. Loosing a dear friend because they have feelings you can't reciprocate is the worst! I'm a very affectionate person, but I always hold back on expressing myself in fear it'll get misunderstood as romantic interest (T - T)
He is such a mood tbh
Oh my, representation for.. us? In anime? How, pleasant. Very appreciated.
Are we just not going to talk about the fact his hair is *LITERALLY THE AROMANTIC FLAG*
"I've got a new crush and her/his/their name is Science!" -Senku/Luz
2:44 what?! Senku and Gen are blushing?! Ajabkbksbdkdb
That's why I love Dr. Stone as a aromantic myself. Ugh sometimes romance in the wrong moments can cause me to drop the entire show and series. And Dr. Stone is just perfect for my taste 👌
You get science, amazing characters, and no awkward romance because though I dislike it, small portion and natural circumstances make romance good, so that's why I love the bits in the anime with Taiju x Yuzuriha because they are placed very fittingly and never overdone 😌👌 just perfecto!
It's all but outright confirmed he's aro/ace. He has a lot of platonic love for his friends, even if he doesn't want to show it, but science is the only thing that really gets his heart racing.
I would agree. This show is very clear about representation, especially stuff later on. Besides Senku, In Season 3, there is a character essentially using a variation of a bend and snap to her advantage, while some characters absolutely smitten, Senku and Gen aren't. I think it is interesting that Gen doesn't fall for it either because that suggests that Gen is gay, which I'd say makes sense. Francouis uses they/them pronouns and it is treated like that's just the logical thing to address them by. A lot of people have headcannons but these are things that are consistent and none more so than Senku.
@@kirajg4970 Except in the Anime, Gen speaks of having a harem - and women are pictured.
