Brody is a middle‑aged Black man with a solid, powerful build that reflects his physical labor and military background.
He has a clean‑shaven bald head and is almost always seen wearing sunglasses, giving him a tough, imposing presence.
His outward image matches his booming voice and confident attitude, making him instantly stand out among the American team.
Despite his intimidating look, his expression often softens when he is focused on building machines or talking strategy.
Brody has a bold, hearty personality and often calls the people around him “greenhorns,” emphasizing his veteran status and confidence.
Even so, he is not a reckless brute; he is a moderate, reasonable type who values dialogue and can calmly negotiate when needed.
He enjoys large‑scale engineering more than anything and genuinely loves “putting together huge things.”
Because of this, he feels grateful toward Xeno Houston Wingfield, whose scientific genius allows Brody to build ever larger and more ambitious machines.
Brody respects the chain of command, faithfully following the orders of his captain, Stanley Snyder.
At the same time, he tries to support and realize Xeno’s intentions, balancing military discipline with scientific ambition.
As a former military mechanic engineer, Brody excels at designing, assembling, and maintaining complex machinery.
His skills are not limited to small arms; he comfortably handles large‑scale engineering projects under tight time constraints.
In the story, he is responsible for creating firearms and other weapons for the American team.
Most notably, he helps complete a submarine in just over two weeks, showcasing his extraordinary technical competence and work capacity.
Brody also demonstrates clear judgment under pressure.
When Chrome and his group’s tunnel collapses, Brody prioritizes human life over strategy or assets, quickly deciding to focus on rescuing survivors.
His blend of technical expertise, battlefield experience, and calm decision‑making makes him one of the most reliable members of the American forces.
Within the American team, Brody initially serves under Stanley Snyder while assisting Xeno Houston Wingfield in realizing large mechanical projects.
He is a crucial bridge between Xeno’s scientific visions and the practical engineering needed to make them real.
When Xeno and Stanley become absent from the American team, Brody steps up and serves as acting leader.
In this role, he shifts from simply being a mechanic to a commander who must consider strategy, diplomacy, and long‑term survival.
Recognizing the value of cooperation in the stone world, Brody agrees to negotiate rather than escalate conflict.
In exchange for information about the revival fluid, he concludes a gentleman’s agreement with Niki Hanada.
Following this agreement, Brody and the remaining American team members join forces with the crew of the Perseus.
Together, they work on constructing a new city for one million people, known as Corn City, devoting their strength to the massive collaborative project.
Through this cooperation, Brody becomes a symbol of how former enemies can turn into partners in rebuilding civilization.
His willingness to honor agreements and work alongside others shows his underlying sense of responsibility and pragmatism.
Xeno Houston Wingfield
Brody deeply appreciates Xeno because Xeno’s science lets him assemble “big stuff,” which he loves more than anything.
He sees Xeno as the mind that supplies the plans he is eager to turn into reality, and he strives to fulfill Xeno’s goals through engineering.
Stanley Snyder
As a former soldier, Brody respects Stanley as his commanding officer and follows his orders without hesitation.
Even when acting as leader in Stanley’s absence, Brody keeps in mind the principles and discipline that Stanley represents.
Niki Hanada
Brody negotiates directly with Niki, exchanging information on the revival fluid for a mutual peace arrangement.
Their gentleman’s agreement becomes the foundation for the American team and the Perseus crew to cooperate.
Chrome and the Kingdom of Science Members
Brody’s decision to prioritize rescuing Chrome and his allies from the collapsed tunnel earns him quiet respect.
His actions show that, beyond allegiances, he values human lives and can work alongside the Kingdom of Science when interests align.
Brody Dudley is voiced by Hiroki Yasumoto in the anime adaptation of Dr. Stone.
Yasumoto’s deep, powerful voice matches Brody’s large physique and booming, confident manner of speech.
