** Some of the first people Tsukasa released were Gen Asagiri, a mentalist that can convince people of most anything, and Minami Hokutouzai, a reporter with a lot of intel on various people. Between Minami’s intel and Gen’s manipulations, anyone they awakened would have more than likely just listened to Tsukasa because what other option was there?

** If you want to be uncharitable to him...trial and error. He revives people at random and if they're suitable for his empire then welcome to the future. If not...well a quick does if neck snapping stops them being a problem permanently.

** Despite what is said about his smarts by other characters, Tsukasa isn't much of a thinker beyond the immediate moment. He's impulsive and violent, and his whole Caveman Conan thing leads itself more to someone who never interrogates his own beliefs than to anyone who reasons out or examines why people would disagree.

[[folder:Tsukasa's Insane Luck]]
* Somehow, through luck or psychic abilities or some kind of situation where every gifted person in Japan knows each other, Tsukasa seems to have an extremely impressive array of adult-hating borderline-superhumans who want to die of easily-preventable infections (or childbirth). Martial artists, a gymnast (who also has all the analysis and stealth abilities of a standard-issue ninja, including the danger sense), the list goes on. But the story goes on to repeatedly assert that Tsukasa chooses his revival subjects for their abilities -- so how does he know that a naked petrified man (or... extremely unlikely teenaged submariner) has exceptional hearing? Is he just tremendously lucky or something?

** And continuing in the 'flawed logic' vein, Tsukasa claimed that there wasn't enough food to feed all of the humans in the 'old world', and that the earth couldn't support that high of a population... which is completely wrong, as there is NO SHORTAGE of food in the modern world, period. The problem isn't lack of food, it's that the food available isn't GETTING TO the people who need it, due to concerns of logistics, greed, etc. Which would support his own anti-corrupt-old-people argument FAR more than what he actually says.

*** This is the same methodology current SI units are defined. This keeps most of the current science we know intact. You define one unit using a measuring stick - Senku's height for meters in universe or a specific spectrum line of a cesium atom for seconds IRL. Then you pick a bunch of physics constants and set their values to define other units - set water's density to constant to define kilograms from meters in universe or set speed of light to constant to define meters from seconds.

** In the South America arc it's revealed that right after reviving he made a measuring stick of a known length (his height of 171cm). He then used that to determine a kilogram (a cube of water 10cm to a side). 1 kg of water is also 1 liter giving him volume. Alcohol percent is measurable through specific gravity (a simple hydrometer would be easy to make and calibrate from the materials available).

** The isolation could be the answer. Languages change when their users encounter other languages and concepts that they were not aware of before. A completely isolated community like the Ishigami village would not encounter any outside influences, making it harder for their language to change in any considerable way.

**Though it really hasn't come up, there's also how the remains of society would affect things like formation of landmasses. The Eruption of Fuji is the closest we've gotten, but all those stone beams could have begun forming due to collapsed skyscrapers, or other such manmade structures falling and decaying. Time got rid of all identifying features, leaving only the strange stone beams.

* Given how it doesn't de-age people, it does seem to have limits. And, given how it was able to heal that one girl's brain, it can do a lot. From what has been shown, it seems to be revert injuries and damage, not things "natural" to the body. So for stuff like Diabetes, it would depend on the cause. Damage to the pancreas could be healed, but a simply unhealthy body, not so much. The same could reasonably be applied to eyesight. Damage done to the eye would be healed, but if they were naturally near or far sighted, that wouldn't change.

The fortress/cave system inhabited by the Tsukasa Empire appears to be made of huge stone beams crisscrossing each other. How did they move these beams? Even Tsukasa wouldn't be able to move one of those (maybe Senku could with very strong pulleys). It's highly unlikely that it formed that way naturally, and there's nothing in the architecture of the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower (the former site, according to the wiki) that looks like that, never mind it collapsing a few hundred years after the petrification.

** Maybe random weird geological disturbances after 3700 years made the area look like that under all the vegetation. The Empire seems to have quickly stripped all vegetation in their immediate vicinity for their own use. Alternatively, it's pure ArtisticLicense. You'll note that absolutely no one mentions the huge crisscrossing beams, so maybe in reality the place looks pretty normal but we got the supervillain lair to demonstrate the Empire's military superiority.
