The highly anticipated second cour of Dr. STONE: Science Future, the fourth and final season of the beloved anime series, has officially launched its second cour, bringing with it a wave of excitement through its new opening and ending theme songs. Released on July 10, 2025, the new episode is accompanied by captivating musical contributions from Japanese rock band KANA-BOON and artist -otoha-, with their respective tracks SUPERNOVA and no man's world setting the tone for the climactic continuation of this science-driven saga. Both artists have unveiled stunning music videos to complement their songs, enhancing the immersive experience for viewers worldwide.
KANA-BOON’s SUPERNOVA Ignites the Opening Sequence
KANA-BOON, a band renowned for its dynamic contributions to anime soundtracks, delivers the opening theme SUPERNOVA for Dr. STONE: Science Future Part 2. Known for their work on iconic series such as Naruto Shippuden (Silhouette), My Hero Academia (Starmarker), and Zom 100 (Song of the Dead), KANA-BOON crafted SUPERNOVA specifically for this season. The song embodies the theme of imagination as a driving force behind both music and human progress, a concept that resonates deeply with the anime’s core narrative of scientific discovery. The accompanying music video, available on KANA-BOON’s official YouTube channel, amplifies this message with vibrant visuals that expand the song’s worldview. Directed with a focus on creativity, the video is described as a mesmerizing piece that invites repeated viewings, culminating in what the band calls a “full SUPERNOVA mode” finale.
The creditless opening sequence, featuring SUPERNOVA, was released on TOHO Animation’s official YouTube channel following the broadcast of the season’s first episode on July 10, 2025. The sequence showcases the Kingdom of Science’s daring journey, blending high-energy animation with KANA-BOON’s infectious rock sound to set an exhilarating pace for the cour.
-otoha-’s no man's world Closes Episodes with Emotional Depth
Complementing the opening, artist -otoha- provides the ending theme no man's world, a track specifically composed for Dr. STONE: Science Future Part 2. The song, which premiered alongside its music video on -otoha-’s official YouTube channel on July 11, 2025, at midnight JST, offers a reflective and emotional counterpoint to the series’ action-packed narrative. The music video enhances the song’s introspective tone, weaving visuals that align with the anime’s themes of exploration and resilience. To celebrate the release, -otoha- announced a Pre-add/Pre-save campaign, offering fans exclusive unreleased live photos as a reward for participating, further deepening the connection between the artist and the series’ audience.
The creditless ending sequence, also shared post-broadcast, integrates no man's world with poignant visuals that highlight the emotional stakes of the characters’ journey, providing a fitting close to each episode.
