Back at it again
- Adam. Immortality (Type 8), Regeneration (Low-High)
Sinners are immortal because
they are already dead and cannot go to another after life exactly the same way Winner's would. It was believed the Angels were
invincible,
unharmable. Later confirmed
once again and that they are
unafraid of harm.
This is generally fine I suppose if we are saying both sinners and winners follow the same logic as undead souls. However, I think you are kind of overblowing what that means for both groups, particularly winners. The reason the angels thought they could not be harmed was simply due to the fact that they are significantly more powerful than sinners. Angels have been shown repeatedly to scale to each other, like when Lute ripped off Vaggie's wings, and Angelic steel is simply a weakness which closes this power gap. So no, their type 8 immortality doesn't make them nigh-invulnerable because their soul needs to die for them to get killed off permanently. They can still be incapacitated by someone equal too or stronger than them.
As a quick aside, the whole thing of Angelic weapons permanently killing souls is a bit strange, at least when it comes to Adam. Pentious was able to be reincarnated as a winner, despite the fact his souls should've been obliterated by Adams holy light. So either Adams attacks don't erase souls, or Angelic attacks don't permanently end souls the way we think they do.
I don't see the regen here? I mean I guess you're arguing that he healed from a flesh wound in between scenes here, but I think it could simply be an artistic mistake not to show it here. If they were so accurate and wanted to show he'd healed from it, they'd have his clothes still tattered in that spot. I really don't think this is clear evidence of any major regen, and it certainly isn't perfect evidence of Low-High regen.
Still, if we are taking the Sinner=Winner route, I suppose it is fair to say that Adam does have Low-High regen, but like the other sinners it isn't all that comabt applicable due to the time it takes to heal.
Although looking at the sinner physio page, the evidence presented is kinda bad. Like, one livestream statement where Vivzie kinda guessed that sinners could maybe regen limbs, no clarification on if the boulder guy recovered, and three scenes of people getting eaten also with no clarification, soooo...
Unlike Adam they lack the Sinner/Winner argument, but I know the questions that will come my way so let me explain my idea on how it works. We saw how quickly Vaggie
was able to heal his wings the MOMENT she wanted and willed it, Lute's arm isn't healed because she cannot let go of Adam's death and clearly holds that grief (literally gone insane). What I am tryna get is that Exorcist have Regeneration when they will it, IN case it's something that they literally don't want to heal deep down through emotional reasons. And unlike Sinners they can heal at whim making them effectively "invincible" without the use of Angelic Weapons.
Firstly, we have no idea how Vaggie regrew her wings. As other have mentioned, it is kind of a freak moment. While I guess it isn't impossible to say that other winners could preform something similar, AGAIN, it isn't really fully combat applicable. Beyond that, however, Lute not regrowing her arm has nothing to do with this and is honestly just and antifeat. Attempting to argue its over her trauma over Adam is entirely unfounded and headcannon, let alone the fact her losing her arm had nothing directly due to Adam's death, but instead her fight with Vaggie.
This perfectly explains everything and makes sense by what we see in the show. Before anyone says it yes we know Exorcist can
definitely kill Overlords who should be able to hold their own yet can't and consider them unstoppable, which right now doesn't make any sense as they leck Regeneration AND Immortality AND Invulnerability while also
clearly not being Durability Merchants through their feats...
Again, there is a gap in their abilities. Granted, Overlords can probably fight basic angels (as seen with Carmilla, although she had Angelic steel) but they still lose out to the big guys like Adam and probably the Seraphim. Also, the exorcists in that scene got hurt by basically being dumbasses and flying at their own speed into Alastor's bubble. It didn't involve any of them getting hit by him, just getting hurt by their own flight KE.
This is HEAVILY consistent with Goetia being also unbeatable without Angelic Weapons and healing anything else quickly.
Are there any examples of Goetia expressly regenerating from anything? Hell, the only time I remember any of them getting hurt is Stolas literally getting hospitalized by Striker. Granted, we know that angelic weapons negate regeneration of sinners by killing their souls, but we don't know how exactly they affect hellborn demons. It could just be that they are weaker to them and can be injured more readily, in which case it's further evidence that they can't regen normal injuries.
Gifted (While Adam generally fights those who can't harm him at all, in times against those who can harm him or at least put up a fight, he can dice through swarms of attacks and utilize his usually overwhelming power very effectively. Instantly deduced who the creator of the forcefield was in the heat of battle, after Alastor avoided his direct attacks Adam used his creativity to create a shockwave attack mid battle to take out Alastor's power source without letting him avoid it
Boy, that Giorno skill-gap must've stung. Anyway, I really don't think he deserves to be gifted at all. He let slip that the exterminations were happening the moment he got harassed about it. I don't see how him being able to fight off random fodder enemies is a testament to his intelligence. Neither is noticing Alastor as the source of the orb. He's the one dude closest to Adam in the fight above most of the chaos, flickering electricity the same color as the orb. Hell, Adam could've seen through the orb itself tbh. Anyway, ain't no way you're saying Adam used his "creativity" to hit Alastor. He was throwing a hissy-fit and swung with a big swing to hit Alastor. Simple as. He had no clue that the staff was the origin of Alastor's power, and literally just tried to take him out cause he was tired of getting tapped.
As a matter of fact, Adam got skill stomped by Lucifer who also has gifted intelligence when he shouldn't even have it either. Dude got outplayed by Vox TWICE; he isn't the brightest bulb by a mile. At best, Adam can be upgraded to Above Average since he is at least smart enough to hold and train an army, although like most other beings in heaven they are naive and prone to doing dumb sh*t (i.e., throwing themselves into a magic ball like a bunch of idiots).
