"Kaguya has no Regeneration":
You must not know what regeneration means. You and everybody else in here.
This is just like people giving characters resistance to Genjutsu for falling for it and breaking out instead of calling it mind hax negation.
Regeneration is an accelerated healing factor. A healing factor, something that all human beings utilize, is passive.
Majin Buu, Wolverine, Piccolo, Homunculi, Deadpool, Mahito, Edo Tensei, Demon Slayer demons, Dio Brando. Names of people who just regenerate.
What Kaguya does it not regeneration, as that is not an accelerated healing factor. Her regular healing factor is dogshit.
Kaguya morphs into a form, and brings herself back into the previous form.
That is not regeneration.
That is a glorified body control that brings back previously destroyed things.
You sound like you consider the transformation between a jinchuriki and a tailed beast regeneration, since they're turning into pure chakra and coming back.
Bijuu are pure chakra yes, but you misconstrued it for everybody else in here.
Bijuu are pure chakra given physical form. They were turned into beings (made out of chakra) that can create their own chakra. They have their own organs made of chakra. That's why in the scan you sent, we can see the difference
between Kurama and its chakra. We
see it again here.
They were made
from the creation of all things. Kakashi's eye was too. Are we gonna say Kakashi's eye is just pure chakra?
They are not just chakra. They are living ninjutsu.
Ninjutsu is turning chakra into different things. Naruto turning his chakra into clones. People turning it into fire, earth, water, air (avatar), lightning.
Hagoromo turned them into beasts made of chakra.
That's why
they can bleed (their blood is made of chakra). That's why
they can cry.
If you hit Shukaku you don't hit chakra, you hit sand. Shadow clones don't walk around existing as energy. We accept chakra transforming into natural lightning. It isn't just "energy" anymore, it's transmutated energy into physical things.
There is a state of swamping forms that a Jinchuriki does where they transform into their bijuu. They do not turn into the literal chakra. They turn into the forms they have.
Chakra regularly is an usually invisible intangible substance created from 2 energies that can be turned into things.
Also, Kaguya being "reduced to pure chakra" is asinine. Kaguya was transformed into a form that was also physical, as it
could make contact with clones (you can see the smack) and be hit
by physical shuriken.
Kaguya is turned into a physical beast. She is not turning into raw energy. She is turning into a beast that is made of raw energy.
Also, please don't compare it to logia regen. That was a horrible argument.
Logia regen is the regeneration of their elemental forms, which has nothing to do with their true bodies. Re healing from ice wouldn't bring back a missing leg, but if you're turned into an ice molecule, you'll come back. Kuzan for example, who can go from a piece of ice the size of a finger to a whole humanoid block of ice, but can't regenerate his leg.
Which is why we have regen for things like cars.
Low: For machines and vehicles, this would just be regenerating basic exterior damage.
Mid-Low: For machines and vehicles, this would be regenerating damage that would normally leave large dents and openings.
High-Low: For machines and vehicles, this would be regenerating some interior damage, along with some minor critically damaged or destroyed parts.
Low-Mid: For machines and vehicles, this would be regenerating minor parts and more extensive internal damage.
Mid: For machines and vehicles, this would be regenerating from the destruction of critical parts, such as the engine.
Low-High: For robots and machines, this can also include regenerating from a liquid state.
This is saying her "true body" was wounded, then she turned into "raw energy" and came back to her "true body" healed. A better example would be her humanoid form existing how it is, but then her bijuu form loses all its tails and grows them back, but that damage is never reflected on her. That's a better example.
"The Juubi has no Regeneration":
I didn't argue for or against it. I just asked for instances of it happening. So I don't care for this.
Why Hashirama's cells are irrelevant:
The point was missed. Heavily. By everybody in here.
I never said that their feats of regen came from the Hashirama cells.
I said that their regeneration was probably an amplified form of their Hashirama cells from the Juubi, caused by the Juubi amplifying their current abilities.
You know there's a possibility that the juubi just... amplified his current abilities... right?
Or what, can the Juubi now use Chibaku Tensei? Since Madara made like 30 of them when the best feat prior with it was just making one.
I fail to see why my skepticism on the regen is shaky when you guys are saying Kaguya would regenerate from eventually getting ****** up by an orb she wasn't shown to get hit by.
This claim here about there's nothing saying it's the Hashirama cells falls to the Juubi as well. There's nothing saying it's the juubi in them that allows them to regenerate to that capacity.
All your points about them with just the cells are irrelevant to my claim.
On top of that. No.
The large stamina comes from Asura, but the regeneration aspect is a Hashirama specific aspect.
There is a difference from inheriting his giant damn life force, and inheriting an ability to regenerate.
The ability to heal his body specifically because of his own ability. Or else Naruto would've gotten the same exact thing for being an Uzumaki and Ashura's reincarnation, which he doesn't have, and only has due to Kurama's chakra.
Hashirama's regeneration
comes from his many different medical ninjutsus that he doesn't require signs to utilize, but his cells still have extremely high levels of vitality that give others an increased healing factor.
Addressing Kaguya's "anti-feats":
1) Yeah. Obito doing that is called
healing, not regeneration. Same as Madara and Sakura, which is why Obito said in your scan that Sakura would need to take time into healing herself, which is different from passive regeneration.
You know the difference between them and her?
They don't need to transform into kaiju in order to activate their regen.
2) Yeah this is called healing, not regeneration, if they stop it when they wish and they need to actively do it, it's not regen.
Also, Madara not regenerating his lower half doesn't have anything to do with regenerating a torso. Regenerating a chunk of your stomach and side doesn't mean you can regenerate your entire lower half, which is something he was only able to do after he got the other rinnegan.
Madara was able to heal his body from the sand bullet holes but not regrow an arm. Him not regrowing an arm isn't a counter to him having regen. It just means he has a lower level regen.
3) Kaguya was not extremely low on chakra in the root dimension where she lost her arm.
Kaguya was extremely low on chakra in the gravity dimension.
Zetsu said
she'd recover faster in the root dimension, so then when Sasuke charged at her,
she changed it.
This long ass sequence is the sequence she had in order to regain her chakra, with a small portion of that in
the beginning and
the middle is her not being attacked by Sasuke and him just standing there.
Then she had enough chakra to use her Eighty Gods Vaccum Attack, one of her more
chakra taxing attacks.
Naruto did not attack her shortly after she switched. She switched at the beginning of the chapter, and after a long dialogue, he cut her arm off at the end.
4) It wasn't that quick. Yall act like it took a few nanoseconds.
Kakashi freefell a big distance and these dudes jumped so slow to where Naruto's smoke was just finished dissipating by the time she got hit by Sakura.
It's very unlikely she'd save her chakra for a world switch, as
she flat out said she wasn't gonna switch worlds because it wasn't strategic.
5) I'd make a downgrade thread but that'd probably be counteracted with discord so I'll just say it here. That regen neg is specifically for the Planetary Rasengan.
I say that because
we see the Rasenshuriken tear
off the skin of the Third Raikage and he
instantly gained it back.
And before yall say "he said it didn't affect him at all", Temari
said the same thing, yet we
currently accept her scaling to him due to her physically damaging his body with wind style.
Also, before yall also say "
the damage is inconsistent", wrong too.
This is him before he takes any damage.
This is him when he takes any damage.
This is him after he takes any damage.
Only time we see cracks on him again is
when he's doing the Hell Stab against victims, and the
databook implies he gets attacked while doing so, supported as we see a
wind style user throwing a wind style attack at him as he escapes, probably
why he lost his cloak.
And before you say "the damage to Ay3 was far less significant than the damage to Mu", it doesn't matter.
Mu didn't regenerate slowly. He
straight just didn't regenerate.
The regeneration only happened to Mu after he got hit by the Planetary Rasengan. It's only from the Planetary Rasengan, not for every finger flick from KCM.
The Shinju, and the Regeneration technique:
US bringing up Boruto is ******* insane. But w/e,
This is funny to me.
It's funny because 2 sections above was why Hashirama's cells are irrelevant.
But Victor's God Tree
attributed all the health changes to the Hashirama Cell he installed in his research.
Like, it's funny.
It's being pointed towards the god tree, but its specific thing and a plot point for the entire arc is that he utilized Hashirama cells for it.
Orochimaru even said that
it isn't like the god tree at all.
Also, Victor never said a single thing about immortality.
He said eternal life. Eternal Life ≠ Immortality, although it's very intertwined.
The whole schist of the god tree is that you gain
eternal youth and you
live forever to the point where you can keep living for thousands of years like the Otsutsuki, which is consistent with what he told the other scientists.
Regardless if he was lying to them or not, it is intertwined that the Hashirama Cell is the key to "eternal life".
We know he was striving for eternal life because he gained a cursed seal
On top of that, Victor being a reliable source of what you get when you eat a chakra fruit is funny since he couldn't even successfully make one.
Now, before you say "why would him having eternal life fix his leg?" I don't know.
Maybe it'll give him enough time to fix it, since he was already hurt. Dude can regenerate his entire head but not his eye.
But we know he was looking for eternal life because when the shinju failed,
he went to get a curse mark to prolong his life.
Little to nothing implies "regenerate better". Everything implies "live longer".
The ETSB debacle:
I don't know why yall keep saying this.
"Kaguya wouldn't leave the dimension, she didn't leave when she fought Naruto and Sasuke"
We're talking about after they're dead.
This technique is assumed on the wiki to stretch beyond the planet and destroy the entire AU distance. After the planet is destroyed and the characters are dead, there is no reason for her to remain there.
The orb doesn't need to stretch to the end of the dimension to kill them because there's nothing saying they would
go to the end of the dimension before the orb destroys them.
Kaguya killing Naruto and Sasuke and just standing there to get smothered by the truthseeking orb is just ridiculous when she can fly away and breathe in space.
And now the second half, with the point of the original thread.
Hmm, so it was "assume the orb would hit her" and either "assume she'd get tier 4 regen for withstanding a hit" or "get regen for regenerating from it"
So tier 4 dura from getting hit by a ball that size in your small state just shows there were no calc members, or calc people in general, in that thread.
So it was either "Scale to the full yield for no reason" or "Regen from pulv for more reasons"
Okay
So since we can't quantify the yield of the boom, I'll
scale the expansion to its creation of the new dimension.
The distance between the earth and the sun for the calc (basically the radius of the ETSB) is 1.496E+11 meters.
The energy to create the whole new dimension is 1.1184707e+42 Joules
Utilizing the inverse square law
to see how much she'd take.
Yield of explosion / [surface area of sphere] * CA of character.
(1.1184707e42) / [4 *pi * ((1.496e11)^2]) * 0.68 = 2.7043349e+18 joules
2.7043349e+18 joules, or 646 Megatons. Mountain level.
So Kaguya would need to regenerate from being turned to dust after getting hit with a mountain level attack. Okay.
On top of that, the ball's KE isn't hurting Kaguya, since we see her close to the center touching it and
she straight isn't hurt.
If it intends to kill Naruto and Sasuke, it clearly isn't due to AP.
Saying she'd leave and it'd stop expanding and that ruins it makes no sense either.
It makes sense that it'd disintegrate, but why would she need to continue to expand it after it has already killed them?
After they're dead, she's good. The ball has no purpose after they're dead.
Immortality in Naruto:
This whole paragraph was something else.
It's trying to tie a definition to immortality that isn't there.
Immortality isn't "you can't die because you regen from all the damage dealt", Immortality is "you can't die". Period.
And you said
At the very least this should prove that "regeneration" and "immortality" aren't mutually exclusive terms, they absolutely do overlap in the series, and they do so quite often.
You pretty much said "no, but yes"
So #4 is out.
Add a new #4, referencing how Otsutsukis become immortal due to expanding lives and living longer eternal lives.
Add a #5, Hidan flat out not being able to die from natural causes even if he's decapitated
Add a #6, Kakuzu bouncing back and forth through hearts.
Add a #7, Orochimaru's soul bouncing.
Add a #8, Karma regeneration.
Add a #9, Bijuu resurrecting.
Kaguya claiming to be immortal does not mean she's claiming to be able to regen from all attacks, it means she's claiming to
not be able to die.
The only proof of that being regeneration is "cause Madara said the same thing". Madara ≠ Kaguya.
- Juubi has a form of healing, unfortunately there's a minimal reason for that long term ass regen to stretch to Kaguya's form when she's not transformed into the Juubi. She clearly isn't comprised of chakra like the juubi, the juubi can't be sensed but Kaguya can, and more. Ten Tails ≠ Kaguya. Ten Tails = Kaguya merged with the Shinju. No reason for her to exhibit the same abilities, unless Kaguya shooting off bijuudamas now.
- Kaguya cannot reform from pure chakra. She can transform into a creature comprised out of pure chakra, and revert back, just like every jinchuriki.
- This is like giving Gaara Low-High or Mid-High because he can transform into Shukaku and back, said Shukaku who is deadass just a mass of sand.
- Aight. This can mean a lot, with the point of it being regen is supported, but at the same time, it doesn't hold much weight until/unless they're confirmed to be intertwined. None of that "it's implied" bs cause it's not. They have 1 separate statements of immortality stretching in different ways.
- Kaguya would not scale to Hashirama's regeneration, which is due to him taking advantage of the chakra and vitality he's been given to master incredible medical ninjutsu, something that Kaguya does not utilize.
- Victor says nothing at all about regeneration or the shinju bringing about a higher form of regeneration.
- She implies anything team 7 can't do to her. Not anything the ETSB can't do anything to her.
Saying its regen cause "how would they put her down without it" is so fallacious.
Like there could be any reason as to why.
Her nigh-infinite chakra could prolong her life to where she can kill them before they can affect her.
She has a large arsenal of attacks that could put them down before they could put her down.
She can resurrect.
And whatever else.
