Watching Dr. Stone, but it left me with a question about one of its plot points and whether there is a contradiction.

SPOILERS: When the Retrieval Team finds the Island Master, he is Soyuz's father and not only is he stone, but smashed. Closer inspection reveals that his parts are much too discolored and a clear indication that he can't be revived.

Why won't the revival fluid work in this instance? People have been smashed and reassembled before. Senku and many others were petrified for a ridiculously long time!
