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.

"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."

Senku: While you were experiencing romantic attraction, I studied the sciences

Bruh even his hair is aromantic themed

*someone falls in love* senku: *_well, according to MY CALCULATIONS----_*

Senku: Falling in love? H A _C r i n g e_

He's just got one ex wife and one gf for Science

- 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

"What kind of girls do you like?" "The kind who can pump a ton of oxygen into my furnace!" *Coming out of anyone else's mouth, that may be an innuendo... But coming from Senku it's completely literal.*

Literally anyone: Tries to show love or affection Senku: *No.*

In the manga kohaku hugged him and he didnt even hug her back im dead 😭😭

new discovery : senku's hair is the colour of the aro community

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.

GirlfriEND BoyfriEND Only SCIENCE has no end.

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 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”.

Literally anyone: what’s your sexuality? Senku: Science

Saiki: *finally, a worth opponent. Our battle will be legendary*

I’ve never watched this show before but this guy is now my favorite character he has his priorities in order

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.

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."

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.

Girl: “So Senku what kind of girls do you like?” Senku: “The kind that can pump a ton of oxygen into my furnace.” That line has me dying every time XD

"What people call love is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed" ~Senku probably

I'm actually happy that some of my favorite mc ain't getting into relationships cause it's makes the story more interesting instead of it surrounding only the romantic tensions of the mc and some chick he met not that long ago

Same thing with saiki k, If someone ever asks to explain in anime, saiki k and senkuu will be the perfect characters to explain how I feel.

as an asexual senku is now my new favourite anime character.

2:11 my man showed more fear over getting married than he ever showed when facing Tsukasa

Romance: exists Senku: NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE

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.

as an asexual, this man is more productive than i am and im jealous >:(

I love this anime.(for many reasons but I’ll list a few) 1. It doesn’t focus on romance like most anime’s do.(it honestly doesn’t even rlly have romance in it) 2. It has amazing/likable characters💕 3. ITS COMEDY AND SCIENCE! I love both! 4. The main character isn’t a simp

3:20 THE WAY I BURST INTO LAUGHTER💀💀💀💀

"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 😂😂😂😂

I will NEVER forget this scene (2:42) poor Gen thought he was getting Cola 😭😭

Senku is a true Chad. Doesn't simp for no one

2:52 so funny knowing that the mentalist was thinking about cola

As an aro/ace myself I resonated with Senku instantly and this is the one hill I refuse to die on headcanon-wise. (Unless this is confirmed in which I will literally shout with joy)

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 👌👌

Senku is the first character I've ever seen in anime that actually knew what a divorce is and used it to it's maximum potential

his- hi- his frickin hair is the aromantic flag-

Senku being aro ace for two whole seasons (+more to come)

“A man who praises another to his face is either flirting or scheming” “Nothing’s as illogical or prone to trouble as a romantic entanglement” I mean he’s not even wrong though

2:40 Freedom science is better than marriage

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!

“Just because I married her doesn’t make it a romantic relationship. When a scientist does it, it’s called an *area of interest* “ - Senku, probably

0:36 LMAO "choose wisely. Both options are the wrong answer" I LOST IT HERE

He might be asexual or not but in fact he's one of the most rational and real anime characters that I've ever seen

senku seriously seems like the type to say "uh huh and i care about how long youve loved me why" after a confession

I personally think Dr.stone is one of the few anime’s that actually has a good English dub

"cheif requires *marriage partner* " *nervous ace noises* also senkuu: "well in that case... *I WANT A DIVORCE* "

I doubt Senku would call himself aro or ace. He's a man on a mission to save the world, romance can wait.

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

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.

I love how little Senku makes the exact same facial expressions as older Sunku

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.

The dude literally accepted marriage purely because of convenience and then not even 2 minutes later he divorces for even more convenience, lmao

Best time to be ace

honestly, i approve of this headcanon

"chose wisely both are the wrong answer" gets me laughing my ass off every time

I FEEL SO VALIDATED BC OF THIS VIDEO I'VE BEEN SAYING SENKUU IS ARO/ACE FOR SO LONG THANK YOU SO MUCH

He's not aro, he's obviously in love with science smh

I have never watched Dr. Stone but I think I have found my new ace/aro son😩

Senku's sexually attracted to PROGRESS.

Me meeting Senku as an Aroace girl: “he’s so badass.. I’d love to have him as a friend! 🤩” I platonically love him 🧡💛🤍💙💜🖤🤍💚

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)

aro king even his hair is a good representation

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!

1:52 based

It's funny when senku called out Tsukasa about praising him. Cause he was right. Tsukasa was already planning shit lol

We all know Senku's true love is Science

I can’t believe child Senku already knows words like “heck” and “crap” 😭

1:40 "i dONt fOLlow wHAt yOu aRe iNSiNuATinG" IM GONNA CRY-

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...

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 like the Senku Gen ship because they're both intelligent and sneaky characters but this is lovely too.

this man is literally living the best life, if I could make a living doing interesting chemistry too I would be so happy

“I’m willing to bet all my minerals” is a phrase I’m going to start integrating into my everyday life

For someone watching the Japanese dub this was incredibly unexpected but tbh these voices make it even better-

“...yeah what else is it for?....” “I have no EARTHLY idea ,’;)” “MIX IT WITH SODIUM HYDROXIDE TO MAKE BAKING SODA >:D” “Baking soda. Yes, right... :)” It gets me every. single. time. Also I’ve only ever watched the sub but I absolutely love how they made senku sound even more like a gremlin, might rewatch the whole show for his voice acting

3:41 all his minerals. Those are precious to him. He must mean it

To all of you valid aro/ace people in the comments, just a reminder I love you all

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.

Senku and Saiki would get along so well

Idk why but "Choose wisely. Both options are the wrong answer." is now going to be my motto in life LMAO

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

1:50-1:56 always makes me laugh!😂 I love Senku so much! This man is kind, funny and smart, that’s the type of guy I like!😌

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.

All the Aro/Ace anime bois have an S in their name, I kin with all of them ngl Edit: most of them-

3:13 getting your priorities and worst fears straight

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

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

as an aro ace myself i never loved a main character this much in such a long time....

0:32 Man, I can still hear the abridged version! "Man who compliments another man is eather gay or a tacticion, so which one are you?"

Have I ever watched this anime? No. Is he now my favorite character of all time? Yes.

"the kind that can pump a ton of oxygen into my *furnace"* omg the dub is better than I ever could have imagined

You've officially convinced me to watch Dr. Stone

He is such a mood tbh

I started watching this show because of this video. As an Asexual myself, I absolutely love Senku’s character.

He is already married to science
