Well, of course. What I am questioning is HOW feeding is causing regeneration. We have never seen any chimera ant do that before.
I would have liked some foreshadowing of this regeneration effect. If anything, Nef's arm operation on the king actually made this less believable.
Peace.
Well there's no need for the king to eat someone if his arms' just lying there waiting to be stitched. Pouf made a ditch effort that may or may not have worked. It banked on the idea that when the king eats he "absorbs someone's power for himself". I think the guards were mostly afraid the king was going to die from blood loss the time he chopped off his arm, not that he couldn't regenerate it himself.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
The point of that scene was that he was offering his arm as a sign of his disrespect. The conceded when the guards cried to repair him.
I'm rather glad Pouf is still scheming. It keeps things interesting because I don't know what else will, really. That said, the beginning of the episode was pretty hilarious.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah, but neither Pouf nor Youpi have displayed regeneration powers either. So even that explanation doesn't make sense in the context of the information we have.
I'm curious whether Youpi will ever actually recover from this. Just he just need to eat a bunch to restore his biomass, or is he gonna chibi forever?
These ants and their physiology have long since left behind any last traces of rationality, so I bet he just needs to eat a mountain of food and he's as good as new.
The King had that power (the ability to absorb external energy and apply/change self.. that is, eat and add to himself). Regeneration is one application of it. What made less sense was why he was this fiery figure in between his recovery. That the fact he was eating Pouf/Youpi didn't matter as long as he at rich, Nen-rich cells.
Youpi shows metamorphic abilities. Whether he'll eventually gain mass again lies in whether he can actually multiply his cells or not.

I assumed that was just glowing with energy, not fire.
