Dr. Stone Japanese vocabulary: 60 words from the first episodes

Thousands of years after every human on Earth turns to stone, a teenage genius wakes up and sets out to rebuild civilization through science. Excited explanations use plenty of scientific vocabulary.

About 67% of the words below are JLPT N5–N4, so Dr. Stone is manageable once you have the basics down.

How this list was made: we went through the Japanese subtitles of the first 3 episodes, reduced every word to its dictionary form, dropped names, sound effects and grammar particles, and kept the words that come up most. Each word has one short line from the show.

JLPT N5 27 words · the first words any course teaches

JLPT N4 13 words · still beginner territory

JLPT N3 14 words · intermediate

JLPT N2–N1 1 words · advanced

Show and story words 5 words · not on the JLPT lists, but this series leans on them
