Appearance

Senku is a slender young man of average height with spiky light green unruly hair. Two long strands fall over the face. His eyes have a bright red tint. His stone markings are two symmetrical diagonal lines running from the beginning of his eyebrows across his forehead. Kohaku calls him a "ladies man", implying that he is handsome.[10] Luna also admits that she likes Senku [11]. Before the Stone Apocalypse, he wore a typical school uniform with a lab coat over it. After waking up in the stone world, he began to wear clothes made from animal skins in a simple manner. Later, his clothing was slightly improved by Yuzuriha. On the collar of Senku's shirt is Einstein's energy formula (E=mc2), written in his own blood. During the photo shoot before the balloon launch, Senku wore modern outfits designed by Yuzuriha

Character

Senku is a straightforward, confident and very logical person who can come across as arrogant. Despite this, his overconfidence does not cloud his judgment, as it is often backed up by his superior and extensive knowledge of science. Senku never humiliates those who are less smart than him. On the contrary, it encourages and inspires people around, causing them to unconsciously do things better. Because of his charisma and caring nature, people tend to gather around him as allies and supporters. However, he can go overboard when he is passionate about creating or discovering something new. Senku believes in science with all his heart and is confident that there is nothing that science cannot solve, even if it takes science a long time to understand something. Although Ishigami has a strong sense of justice, he often breaks rules, hides information, and manipulates others to get what he wants, but only for the benefit of his allies. Senku often seems to use other people for his own benefit and for his inventions (such as glasses and a car), but behind his outward arrogance and manipulative nature lies a truly kind nature. When Ishigami was asked who he would choose to save, himself, a friend or a loved one, Ishigami replied that he would find a way to save everyone. By his actions, he repeatedly showed that he was ready to sacrifice his own interests for the sake of others. Unlike Taiju, Senku is far from the idea of ​​romance and does not like it. He looked alarmed when Kohaku gave him strange praise, stating that she "fell in love with him." He was also completely unaffected by Amaryllis' attempts to charm him, much to her chagrin. He believes that a brain filled with love is the most illogical, but he supports his friends in their relationships, such as Taiju with Yuzuriha or Chroma with Ruri. Despite all this, Gen believes that one day, after he has completed the creation of civilization, he will consider the idea of ​​romance.

Strengths

Intelligence Senku Ishigami is a genius with an encyclopedic knowledge of everything related to science. He is well versed in chemistry, physics, engineering, geology, biology and mathematics. Senku is able to easily create various useful tools and devices, medicines and, most importantly, an elixir for re-petrification, despite the limited materials of the Stone World. Tsukasa calls him "the most insightful, smartest person in the world"[13]. In addition to his scientific knowledge, Senku also possesses a resourceful and analytical mind. Senku is able to think on his feet and remain cool in the most dire situations. Of the current active characters, his mental abilities are rivaled only by his former mentor, Doctor Xeno. Charisma Although Senku is arrogant and eccentric, he seems to have a good understanding of people and the way they think. He uses his many creations to charm those who are suspicious of him (such as ramen, glasses and medicine), so that their attitude towards him will warm up a little. Senku is also a capable leader who is eloquent, able to motivate and transform the villagers into an effective army against the Tsukasa Empire. He earned the loyalty and respect of his allies (and enemies) through his hard work and determination. Tactical Intelligence Senku has some strategist abilities. He managed to coordinate the villagers and part of Tsukasa's army, which went over to his side in a bloodless war against the Tsukasa Empire. Likewise, he managed to get Kohaku, Ginro and Amaryllis to infiltrate the harem lord of Treasure Island as spies, and he managed to contact Kohaku and formulate a strategy to collect the scattered fossilized parts of his friends along with the precious materials from the Soyuz shuttle.

Weaknesses 1

Physical abilities Senku is below average in terms of physical ability and lacks physical strength. He was unable to hold Homura, a petite woman under 5 feet, after he managed to grab onto her. He also admitted that he wouldn't stand a chance against someone as strong as Kohaku in a fight (though that's not really a fair comparison considering how strong she is).[14] In the bonus chapter, Kohaku gives a short description of the main characters' physical abilities. Senku is at the bottom at about 3 points, Chrome at 5, Ginro at 100, Kinro at 500, and Kohaku herself at 1000. Likewise, Senku has weak stamina, and tends to get tired physically quite quickly. It is also very vulnerable to hypothermia, withstanding cold water only for a short period of time. Average craftsman Although not bad in terms of skill, he lacks natural talent in him. It took him several months to learn how to make pottery, and even then it could only be considered decent. Additionally, he is not up to the task of making glassware, and for more detailed and intricate items, he needs skilled craftsmen like Kaseki to make them. He also demands that Yuzuriha collect the broken stone statues, as he lacks her talent and precision. Lack of culinary skills While this is not a weakness in itself, he is not an exceptional cook. He is shown to be able to cook, but lacks experience and quality ingredients. Although he knows the process of cooking, most of the time the more complex food does not taste good. While he can make cotton candy and cola, more complex foods like wine, ramen and bread have proven to taste terrible. While the ramen case was partly due to the lack of exact ingredients (he used foxtail to make flour instead of wheat). When he first tried to make bread with all the right ingredients on hand, it turned out so terrible that no modern person could eat it (although the Ishigami village liked it because they had previously only eaten fish and never tried bread).

Weaknesses 2

Allergy Senku is allergic to nail polish. This causes his face and lips to swell dramatically. Bad luck Throughout the series, despite his high intelligence and ability to overcome obstacles, he often gets into trouble due to his terrible luck. Gen jokes at one point about Senku (when they tried to make gunpowder to stop Tsukasa's army and failed) that Senku is always unlucky. In the Petrification arc, where they went to Treasure Island, at the moment when all their resources and capabilities were exhausted, he, along with the Kingdom of Science, cornered by Ibara, Mozu and their army, is forced to use his worst trump card: revive Hyogu (rather unpredictable and a cruel man, willing to manipulate and kill anyone who gets in his way) in order to have a chance to fight against Ibara and Mozu, despite the strong possibility that Hyoga would immediately attack the Science Realm and/or find out about the petrification device.

Additionally Senku's name means "Thousand Heavens" and is composed of the characters I. Ishigami means "Stone God" and is made up of the characters and . Senku shares with Taiju and Yuzuriha that his name contains a hieroglyph, which matches the theme of "earth, sea and sky". Senku was ranked 1st in the first and second character popularity polls. There were women who showed signs of sympathy for him. Kohaku claimed that she fell in love with him when they first met. Although she explained that she meant it in a platonic manner, in Chapter 22 she admitted that he looked like a "woman killer" to her. In Chapter 22, Rubin stated that she was interested in a man who would take care of her, and she was so impressed by Senku's ramen that she asked what his type of woman was. Also in Chapter 43, where Senku was asking Gen about the girl Homura from Tsukasa's army, Ginro thought he was talking about what type he was, and Shovel, Ruby, Garnet, and Sapphire seemed interested in the rumor. At some point, he married Ruri, but divorced her within five minutes of their wedding. After Senku promised Nikki that he would defend the last song Liliana Weinberg recorded, Nikki also stated that she might fall in love with him. However, due to Senku's focus on restoring civilization and his dislike of romance, he did not develop romantic relationships. He claims that it was Doraemon who inspired him to become a scientist. Senku demonstrates his love for video games, making references to Super Mario Bros, Civilization, Dragon Quest, and Monster Hunter (Monster Hunter, which has a specific reference in Chapter 63). He has three main phrases: he says "10 billion percent" when he is sure of something, "1 mm" when he states how impossible something is, and "That's so exciting" (Exciting) in the English dub ) when a new discovery occurs or he manages to continue his scientific developments.

. Since the manga tends to be as accurate as possible in terms of science, Senku may end up restoring technology to the level of the late 1800s. (Modern conveniences such as indoor plumbing and central heating may be something Senku doesn't know about.) Senku's hair resembles a bow in many ways. His birthday is January 4th, which is also Newton's Day. Senku knows the kanji version of the name Gen [6] Favorite type - a competent person who does what you need without saying a word. [6]
