Anyway, so Byakuya has apparently read Dr. Stone before flying into space, so he knows that his team's top priority has to be leaving gifts for Senku when he wakes up a thousand years later. He barely has any idea what happened when mankind turned to stone and has no idea how long it'll last (or if all the petrified people are just plain dead, which would be the normal assumption), but oh well, I guess.
Conveniently, Byakuya convinces the crew by telling them Senku counted every second for 2 months without losing count. How do you even that when it's possible to calculate the number of seconds based on how many days ed?
Anyway, despite all the plot convenience and Byakuya's omnipotence, there's some decent additional content added to Byakuya's story, which might enhance the Dr. Stone experience a little bit. Equally, it throws the Dr. Stone story into the dumpster by allowing Byakuya's robot to be such an unreasonably incredible piece of technology. It's a somewhat enjoyable read on its on if you think of it as non-canon, perhaps.
