Speculations Oda didn’t retcon HK regeneration

This.
People keep claiming Sanji used Conq Haki or PoL or whatever else, but that's clearly not it. Oda would have actual buildup to that and try to show it in a more explicit way than this.
He didn't use anything to negate the regen.
Weren’t there numerous foreshadowings of Luffy and Zoro’s CoC before the actual reveals? Same here.

Obviously Qilingham won’t be the guy Oda reveals Sanji’s CoC against. Doesn’t mean it couldn’t have happened tho. If Sanji awakens ACoC in Elbaf, that will re-contextualize the fight.

Sure but they never really used those powers until we saw them unlock them, and they unlocked them in pivotal moments (i.e Luffy using Conq Haki to save Ace).
Oda's not just having Sanji awaken ACoC or PoL or whatever randomly against Killingham and not actually saying shit about it. That's so asinine lol.
He'll have it be imperative to his battle with Sommers

The thing is, the fight was off screened. We have no idea what happened.

Oda saving the reveal would make sense. It’s in line with how Oda writes this stuff.

Like with how Kid and Law awakened off screen and didn’t even use their awakenings on the rooftop.

I get that but this isn't how Oda would treat Sanji. He doesn't do this with his powerups.
Trust me, he's saving this powerup for when he fights Sommers.

Maybe if you get seperated into enough pieces, the regeneration doesn't work as normally. But if you have like most of your body attached, the body regrows as usual.

I don't know.

If you look back at Sommers vs Gaban the first wound Sommers suffers is that Gaban cut off his hand.

Gaban then proceeds to then chop Sommers into more pieces before running to Gunko. However when Sommers does get up the first wound he receives is the last one he healed from. Based on this chapter it seems to be because the rest of Sommers body reattached itself and Sommers hand didn’t regenerate until later when his regeneration reactivated after being hit with Gabans CoC.

There was no retcon, this is how it’s always been. All HK have regeneration, however, when they take attacks that counter regeneration they can still reattach their body parts. But until their regeneration reactivates, they can’t regrow any missing parts.
