We fans never saw Senku as the romantic type. We remember him for his sharp brain, his straight talk, and the way he builds crazy stuff without losing focus. He never chased love. He never acted emotionally. That is why we started thinking—can someone like Senku ever feel that way? I mean romantically

Dr. Stone: New World ended in December 2023 with 55 episodes. We saw him reach the moon, face Why-Man, and stick to science till the end. But in between all that, a few quiet moments stood out. Some people liked him. Some scenes felt close. So we fans started asking—did Senku ever like anyone? or more importantly, Who Does Senku End Up With in Dr. Stone? which is the topic for this blog.

Senku Was Never the Romantic Type – But There Were Hints

From the beginning, Senku always kept love at a distance. He openly said that emotions like love make your brain weak and useless. He treated romantic talks like background noise and showed zero interest. You might remember how he once said,

“A brain filled with love is the most irrational thing.”

Even his “marriage” with Ruri was just a move to help the village and get medicine. It ended the moment the goal was achieved. But still, here and there, you do see something else. Senku never made fun of others for falling in love. He even helped them silently when needed. His quiet actions showed that he understood feelings, even if he did not speak about them. Those tiny moments were the real hints that maybe, somewhere inside, he was not as cold as he acted.

Kohaku and Senku Shared More Than Just Science and Strategy

From the beginning, you could see that Senku kept love far away. He never cared about romance. He even said love makes your brain stop working. He called it nonsense. We fans remember that line well—“A brain filled with love is the most irrational thing.”

Even his marriage to Ruri was not real. He did it just to get the cure and save the village. And the moment that was done, it ended. But still, here and there, we noticed a few things. Senku never made fun of people who had feelings. He supported them in his own quiet way. He never talked about love, but he understood it. Maybe deep down, he was not as cold as he looked.

Luna Confessed First – But Did Senku Feel the Same?

Luna was the only one who said it out loud. She liked Senku. Not just because of his science, but because of how he stayed calm, smart, and honest under pressure. She confessed clearly after treating his wounds. There was no hesitation in her voice.

Senku accepted—but he said it was a “political marriage.” That was his usual way of putting logic first. It was not a romantic yes. But unlike before, he did not joke about it or brush her off. He praised her work, trusted her skills, and let her stay close. That may not be love, but it was still different from how he treated others before. With Luna, Senku showed patience and respect—and that was new for him.

Ruri Once Had Feelings, but It Never Moved Forward

Ruri liked Senku from the start. But it was not because of his looks or how he talked. She had heard the Hundred Tales since childhood. The last one made her believe in him before even meeting him. So when he finally came to the village, her respect slowly turned into soft feelings.

When she was unwell, she noticed how kind he really was. He gave cotton candy to a lonely girl. He showed care in small ways. He never said too much, but he was not cold either. Their marriage was only to get the cure. And Senku ended it right after. Ruri understood that. She never got upset. Later in the story, she still looked at him with gentle eyes. But slowly, she started getting close to Chrome. Her bond with Senku stayed special. But only like a quiet memory—something full of respect, warmth, and feelings that were never spoken.

Who Does Senku End Up With?

If you are looking for a clear answer—no, Senku does not end up with anyone in the end. There is no romantic ending, no couple scene, no final moment of love. Senku keeps his promise to science. He builds the future. He goes to the moon. He keeps going forward.

Still, some things do stay open. Kohaku was always there during key moments. She knew him better than most. If someone came close to his heart, it might be her. But the story never confirms it. Fans speculate, “Senku stayed single,” and that fits how the series ends. Romance was never his path.

In the End

Senku became your favorite not because of love stories, but because of his passion, his pain, and the way he never gave up. Even when he was cold on the outside, he made you feel something real. That is rare in anime.

So now tell me—who do you think came closest to Senku? Was it Kohaku? Or was it Luna, who at least had the courage to speak her heart? Or do you think science was the only one who ever had a chance with him? Drop your thoughts below—I want to hear what you think.
