Or, were the souls within Zodiark un-Sundered as they died before the Sundering?
I'd guess the souls within Zodiark were whole when they were sacrificed, but were sundered when HE was sundered, and are probably trapped across his reflections. So, with each rejoining they'd regain part of their soul, but still be trapped inside him. But given that they still have the form of the ancients, it's possible there's still a connection between them across reflections that keeps them somewhat whole.
