Ven and I were talking earlier about how characters can recieve a rather serious injury and in the next scene the wound is completely gone or healed.

For example:

Character A smashes Character B into a mountain head first, and as the result, Character B is bleeding from the head. Character A proceeds to talk for a couple of minutes yet the next time we see Character B on screen, his forehead isn't bleeding anymore or the blood isn't there.

I said that it's fair to assume Character B has low Regenerationn while Ven believes it's simple convinience, as it is extremely common in fiction, especially in animation, for any wound that isn't severe enough to the degree of a severed limb or blown out eye, to be conveniently healed all of a sudden due to several external factors that do not suggest Regenerationn.

He used the example of Character C can be blown to pieces in one scene, be seen again unscathed another, but also be shown several times at recieving lesser amounts of damage that take weeks to heal, all in the same episode.

Still, I believe my example portrayed an example of Regenerationn, while his explicitly described an outlier (intentionally) but are they comparable? Or does Character B likely have low regen compared to Character C having high-mid regen based on our examples?
 
This should be looked at by a case by case scenario, typically I'd agree with Ven about it being its a simple convince or a mistake on the writers part, this is seen on Bleach where the art is incredibly inconsistent, One Piece has the same issue from time to time. But like I said I think it really depends on the context.
 
Yes, I agree. I believe each case should be reviewed as such. Also, the level of regen should also be taken into account, it is far more likely to get low regen based off casual showings if it isn't contradicted but high-mid requires context.
