About the stamina, why couldn't they just limit the granny's power than limiting it to the individual being healed? Dying because you're healing too fast is a little ridiculous. It's not like you're regenerating your cells over and over and over again, enough to use up your telomeres. You're just doing it faster.

This then brings up the issue of injuries/illness that you can't heal from naturally, like amputation or cancer. Will granny's power work on those?

Honestly, I don't mind if they simply don't put a limit to the healing. Just heal him whenever he gets hurt until people get pissed at how irresponsible that is.

It's not "just doing it faster", it's using resources from your own body. That resource is called in this anime as stamina, and whatever encompasses stamina. So the believe here is that it's dangerous to force the body to go through a healing process that uses up some of these resources maybe to a point of depletion or something.

In a way it's like being put on a machine that forces you to run a marathon and you're only have stamina to withstand just 1 mile of running. What would happen then?

Again, we're talking about hypotheticals here and using the term stamina which is not all that scientific and intrinsically vague. That's why I introduced the other side of it, fatigue and then consider when your body goes beyond what it can handle fatigue wise.

That's how I'm seeing it.

I'll just address this point at the moment. Stamina aside, the idea is that it would've required little effort from the user and would've allowed her to service every student since all the juice for the healing to happen would have been contained in each individual instead of X reserve she might've carried herself.

And then if you give her enough juice in herself to heal everyone, then she would've had enough juice to heal a single character infinitely.

Of course, other excuses could've been introduced then. But I think that's part of the idea.

I don't think we need overthink that aspect.
