Speculations Oda didn’t retcon HK regeneration

[Monkey D Theories]

Again, they don't just heal instantly from any old attack

They can if it’s a weak one.

Gunko instantly regenerated the entire upper half of her body when Usopp blew it up in their first encounter pre-flashback.

Maybe it’s because Gunko has the deep deep sea contract, while Qilingham only has the deep sea contract, but even Harald was shown regrowing his arm after Loki took it.

Haki is probably the determinant in how effective attacks on HKs are.

 

[SkySanji]

This is basically the most bargain-bin regen in fiction, I seriously can't recall a single other example where an immortal character's regen is stopped by simply keeping their limbs apart, it's so trash lol.

Ehh, you get what I mean. My point is just that Killingham obviously isn't finished yet

 

[soupongo]

Imu´s regeneration doesn´t work like the others, so no, the rope situation makes zero sense

 

[Shiroyru]

The explanation I heard that makes the most sense is that ACoC attacks downgrade their regen from regrowth to reattachment, but Sommers regrew his hand that was cut off with an ACoC slash, and I doubt that Sanji was secretly using ACoC on Killingham, so even that doesn’t really make sense.

Oda obviously just retconned how it works so that he could write in a lazy way to temporarily take out Sommers and Killingham before they enter Phase 2 when Imu arrives.

Usopp is gay. Bum soap.

 

[BattalGazi]

Sanji basically did the same thing as Gaban.

Sommers’ hand should have regrown, just as Qilingham’s body/head should have regenerated(just as Imunko’s did when Usopp attacked them).

the fact it didn’t meant that Sanji used ACoC like Luffy and Gaban.

Are we winning again?

 

[Dark Knight Sanji]

Are we winning again?

Always

 

[Loki D. Terror]

Oda and consistency doesn't go hand in hand lol.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

The fact Qillingham still couldn’t regenerate in 1178 basically confirms Sanji used CoC.

Literally the only examples we have of immortals being limited like this are situations where CoC was used. Ex. Sommers in 1178.

When CoC wasn’t used or the immortal had CoC themselves, regen wasn’t nerfed like this. Oda probably offscreened Sanji vs Qilingham so he can do the reveal at a better moment.

Bruh gaban used acoc against sommers and he regenerated his hand instantly.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

Bruh gaban used acoc against sommers and he regenerated his hand instantly.

It didn’t. In fact Sommers literally stated his hand wasn’t regrowing.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

His hand didn’t regenerate until much later

 

[Loki D. Terror]

We see it does after 2 panels

? His right hand was missing for the entire exchange and didn’t regrow until after Sommers was already standing and running after Gunkimu started

Yes, and he didn’t have to reattach it. Just regrow it

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Yes, and he didn’t have to reattach it. Just regrow it

Yeah, and when Sommers and Killinghams regen reactivates after taking the hits that stopped it, they’ll be able to regrow their parts too. But that’ll be a while

It’s all due to CoC

if your haki is strong enough, it will impede regrowth and they will essentially turn into Buggy

 

[Fn Lucci]

The fact Qillingham still couldn’t regenerate in 1178 basically confirms Sanji used CoC.

What? No. That would be the single worst way Oda could possibly reveal such a major thing
