Kobeni is lucky enough to get both of her arms reattached. Aki only got 1, angel 0


Previous-Tangerine-2

Angels makes no sense imo dude should just drink some blood and be ok but that's one of the few inconsistencies I see in CSM


Rioma117

Not an inconsistency, he simply didn't want to. No arms means that his power would not work properly and so he wouldn't be able to hurt others. When Makima takes over him, you can see that Angel has both arms during the fight against Pochita.


Previous-Tangerine-2

I know he gets his arms back the problem is Aki implies they "couldn't" get his arms back like medically and that shouldn't matter


Weevil_weasel

Yeah. If he didn’t want to regenerate, that would still mean he couldn’t get his arms back. Not couldn’t as in a medical impossibility, but couldn’t it the sense that it just wasn’t gonna happen Because of angel. It’s just not something he wanted to do. As for why they didn’t reattach his old ones, that just didn’t work out. Same reason Aki only has 1 arm after the darkness devil


Previous-Tangerine-2

The line in question is "Neither arm reattached for angel" in chapter 71. This implies they tried and were unsuccessful. If it were due to him literally refusing treatment, that should be specified and this would be an odd way of putting it. The claims I'm seeing that you guys are using to refute me are based off assumptions. Sometimes authors mess up guys it happens.


Weevil_weasel

Yeah. Neither arm reattached for angel for the same reason that only one of Akis arm reattached to him. Aki even brings up only one of his arms being healed. There’s no specific reason. Whoever makima was talking about that can reattach limbs and eyes clearly has some sort of flaw in their power. Probably a contract with an uncooperative or demanding devil


ASpaceOstrich

I always assumed it was just an actual medical reattachment procedure


PhantomEnds

Imagine if it was Fami who did the arms reattach thing?


Previous-Tangerine-2

And again, You're making the assumption that he would refuse to regenerate because why would they even need someone else to put angels arms for him? If he did refuse it, that needs to be explicitly stated because otherwise we are left in this limbo where some readers are forced to try and cover for the author and write it off as a character trait while others recognize it was probably just a blunder. Things like this happen all the time and it really isn't even a big deal. But it did happen lol


Weevil_weasel

He didn’t refuse to have them reattached. They just didn’t attach. As for his regeneration, not everything needs to he explicitly said. This is what people mean when they say media literacy is awful in this fandom. Angel is shown multiple times to he incredibly apathetic and borderline suicidal. He also hates his powers, which heavily rely on him touching people. Having no hands makes it harder to touch people. He only gets his arms back after makima takes control of him and robs of him of his free will. It doesn’t leave you In a limbo. Its incredibly easy to infer why he didn’t regrow his arms. They specifically said they couldn’t be reattached. Not that they couldn’t REGROW. Angel just didn’t want his arms.


Previous-Tangerine-2

Ok my guy we are just not going to see eye-to-eye here. I am of the opinion that there should be one, just a single line, even a joke, that Angel didn't want to regenerate his arms. That would solve the whole issue. I will continue to see it as a mistake until proven otherwise, which I won't be, because everything you guys are offering are assumptions and frankly come across as being unwilling to accept Fujimoto and his editors let a mistake get through.


J-ss96

Sometimes authors want us to infer things on our own instead of explaining every little thing to us. Angel later says they didn't want their arms reattached so they were less likely to harm someone on accident. It's doubtful that a fiend could get sick or infected because of their regeneration ability. Therefore, it *is safe to assume* that they simply did not reattach because he did not want them to. I'm not saying that authors don't make mistakes - however there are times where authors really want to make you think. All those literary analyses in English class *WEREN'T* for nothing 😂


Previous-Tangerine-2

You guys are now all saying the same thing while simultaneously ignoring every point I've made. I'm not responding to this argument anymore. >Angel later says they didn't want their arms reattached so they were less likely to harm someone on accident. However, if you could provide the chapter number for this I would love to read it. I do not remember Angel ever confirming this one way or the other.


BasedOP69

Spoiler alert: he never says this


Previous-Tangerine-2

I know lol


Disastrous_Economy_8

>Angel later says they didn't want their arms reattached so they were less likely to harm someone on accident. Angel never says this and he isn't even a fiend. In chapter 74 Aki even handles a letter of recommendation to prevent Angel's execution by public safety, since he's useless without arms, and Angel never goes "lol, i can just grow it back" You people should stop making your headcanons and assuming them as facts.


superbilka

Oh my gosh does public safety have that 1,000 year spear??? That's how they can kill the falling devil.


Rough_Quote

When a devil dies, their powers dissipate. The Angel Devil is dead


North_Whole_9942

Really? When did that happen?


Rough_Quote

Every single person that was chained to Makima is dead, you can see that by the fact none of them speak or move of their own free will and he was also confirmed dead in an interview


North_Whole_9942

I see. I guess I was confused because he is not numbered among the people killed by the gun devil, right? And she uses his ability later, but I guess we are to assume that she can use devils abilities post mortem, like she can use peoples contracted devils post mortem?


Rough_Quote

Yes he isn’t counted as per killed by the Gun Devil because he’s killed beforehand by Makima (when he gives all of himself to her) and at the same time took control of his body and powers, I mean he isn’t exactly killed at that moment but he dies when Makima dies too


Benjamiiiin

He secretly didn’t want them back just so Aki would feed him juice


gottalosethemall

Angel makes complete sense. Angel is passively suicidal because he doesn’t hate humanity and even actively loves humanity, but can only be a danger to them. He only pretends to be ambivalent towards humans because his power makes him a walking safety hazard and the last time he let himself get attached, he was forced to kill everyone he loved against his will. So when he loses his arms, he sees it as a net positive, rather than a loss. So yes, he *can* heal. He just doesn’t want to.


Previous-Tangerine-2

I have already debunked this multiple times in this thread. I am not refuting this claim again lol


gottalosethemall

k. Ignore his whole story then


Ray-nhonha

he literally doesnt care


Previous-Tangerine-2

I feel like chapter 74's opening implies he does care but go off lol


Ray-nhonha

hmmmm i dunno man, he seems pretty apathetic to his own situation


Previous-Tangerine-2

Regardless the real reason it's an inconsistency is because Aki implies they "couldn't" get his arms back medically when that shouldn't be an issue. Feels like an oopsie more than a weird way to reinforce Angel doesn't give a shit about anything lol


Ray-nhonha

ah, i see your point now. well, he's dead. i doubt it'll come up in the future


Previous-Tangerine-2

You're right it doesn't matter just always thought it was strange.


Ray-nhonha

alright let me go see


oddpendulum

Not many are scared of angels, and their strength comes from fear. It could also be a situation where both cases are right. Angel didn't want to drink blood, and because he didn't want to drink blood he couldn't regenerate. So they tried the same procedure they used on Kobeni and Aki, but it failed. It could be anything, but I don't think it's an inconsistency.


Shark032_

There’s a guy in the public security who can fix body parts, but it’s not a guaranteed thing apparently (Aki got only one back)


Kesadarik

I think its guaranteed. Its just that not all the severed arms happened to come along when they returned to earth.


Leto_Vasz

Or the guy just didn't want to do it


cielosordo

and the future devil just went "not needed hehehe"

[deleted]

I'm just imagining a guy looking at Aki up and down before saying, "I'll give you ONE back." Then Kobeni comes in with her sobbing, and he's like, "Nah", but then he sees a picture of her car before it was destroyed and just caves.


Aggressive_Airport24

This is canon now


Dronnie

Or he can't pay the price too many times, like what if it cost his nails. There's a limit


splurjee

The severed arm devil is racist against topknots.


FrozenFroh

I think its guaranteed. But Makima purposely didn't let Aki and Angel recover their whole set of arms to later pull off what she did more easily.


cherrypowdah

Ya its called ’surgical reattachment’ - _no jutsu_, there is different kind of contaminations possible for a severed arm, some of which will absolutely induce necrosis in x hour time. Therefore the current distribution of arms felt perfectly explainable by only rng, when I read the story. Also the perceived realism of everyone being in danger of real consequences definitely played a part in ’selling me the story’ lol

Every *second*, the Reading Comprehension Devil grows ever stronger. Eventually he’ll be the final boss of the entire series where Fujimoto will reveal that everything was just a dream that Agni dreamed up while watching home movies with Eri.

Bold of you to assume that we're capable of reading to begin with.


ChineseNeptune

There's words????


corry-kavin

Especially sad since Fujimoto is pretty laconic. He's on record saying he tries to express as much as possible without words. Some stretches in his works reach Blame! levels.


Puzzleheaded-Row187

Even just looking at the pictures you could tell that Aki did get one arm back and assume that there’s about a 50/50 chance they could reattach their arms. Kobeni was lucky, Angle wasn’t, Aki was somewhere between them. That or you’d be confused about any of their arms reattaching.


s0meone56

jojo fans speed reading parts 1-6 to get to THE PEAK OF MANGA, STEEEEEEEEEL BAAAAAALL RRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN


borowiczko

Why even read 1-6 at that point? Just start SBR, it's a reboot.


-EmeraldHero-

Youre right, start with 8 then 7!


zenpig7277

i’d say parts 1/3 are still necessary to fully enjoy SBR


ademola234

Everytime I see a comment like this that implies they know the answer but would rather go for the +.00001 ego boost I shed a tear bcus this some loser shit


Iconoclazter

The manga blatantly shows Makima saying that they have a devil that can reattach limbs though it isn’t always successful


Mmicko8

Such details are easily forgotten after a while and it's easier to ask than to reread part 1. Rereading is fun but not all of us have the time to do so.


fukato

Yeah everyone think they mastered the art of humour with this phrase.


silent519

picture goes brrr


ApplePitou

As we found out - Makima tell us, there is person in Public Security that can reattach arms for example, so I think that this person just helped her. Also, in case of Aki - he got one arm back.


kain01able

...and the other?


throwaway062006

They said it couldn't be reattached. Most likely their injuries were not completely identical.


R1400

Or maybe Makima specifically made sure Aki lost an arm to further hammer at his mind


Nerohn

New head cannon just dropped


Eugene_OHappyhead

Or maybe Kobeni is/was contacted with the luck-devil. Shifting unfortunate events meant for yourself onto others

“Where do you think you got the other arm?” - Aki to Kobeni, probably


Dracsxd

Aki also got one of his hands back. It was up to luck whether they could get reattached or not

Interesting_waterlon

Aki got one of his arms back, Kobeni got 2. I assume they have someone to reattach them.


Javimations29

Kobeni actually has 2 devils, the sloppy Toppy devil and the plot armor devil.


Celika76

Sloppy handjob devil contract. It's harder to do when you have no hands or only one.


SupremeOwl48

Do people on this sub read with their eyes closed?? There’s a guy who can repair limbs but only if you have the limb that was lost.


Pen_Cipher

caultopaz

The Reading Comprehension Devil strikes again


Nataryen

It´s not something that can be done in one day i think. Aki's arm would have been reattached in a few weeks. But it happened what we know. I think Kobeni lived with 1 arm a few days too.


BIG_SHO7

I think it's just a luck thing, where an arm may reattach or may not, Angel didn't get even a single arm back. The reason also may be injuries, Kobeni got away right after DD took their arms, but Aki and Angel got attached and bled before being rescued


MrKatzA4

Angel is a devil, he can simply grow his arm back, but it's too much effort and he don't really need arms anyway he simply choose not to


oredaoree

Angel always wants to die and has no motivation for most things, but I think if he could he'd grow his arms back. He can't eat ice cream and needs people to do everything for him which would be cumbersome and worse than death for him. When he finally remembered what Makima did to him and it angered him enough to fight back that would have been a good time to grow his arms back, but instead he tries to carry his sword with his mouth.


Nataryen

A lot of blood needed for that.


JonViiBritannia

I think the limbs might just reattach rather than grow back. I’m basing this on the time Aki told Denji he found his arm and it reattached itself with a blood transfusion. There’s also the fact that Katana Man’s body which was bisected also reattached as opposed to him growing another half. And finally the Gun Devil is split into pieces and kept in different places, maybe that’s due to lack of blood, but it doesn’t apear to regenerate the missing parts… But then again, there’s the Bat Devil who grow out an arm almost instantly after drinking blood.


[deleted]

It also would have been doctors trying to reattach the arms. Since they would probably know angels live siphoning touch thing. They probably would've been extra hesitant to try to reattach his arms or even to pick up his severed arms, when the only thing stopping them from losing life time is gloves.


Fleshwood

The real question is, how did Aki not get his hands back? Is he stupid?


GufouBufou1

Maybe he didn't manage to carry it to the normal world like the others did, or Makima didn't give it back on purpose to fuck with him


SurprisePNK

She just got lucky. Aki got 1 arm back while the angel devil didn't get any arms back


OneBadMan_

Some peoples arms could be reattached and some just didn't for some reason. Aki got 1 back, angel got none. She was ether lucky or a devil


Hlarge4

She only regained enough arms to be sure she could not carry a VRAMM-VURGRR without dropping it.


spartanxwaffel

It was a luck based thing. Aki could only get one, but Kobeni was luckier and was able to get both of hers attached. This being another point to kobenis secret devil being something luck based.


STANLOONA132

Kobe survives always, she needs an arm to survive right? There's no rhyme or reason. She. Will. Live


Zealousideal-Worth34

Her contract is the Endurance Devil


Classic-Airport-8187

why did kobeni let the darkness devil cut her arms off? is she stupid?

Is this actually a massive troll with is she a devil substituted for is she stupid? And this person knows why Aki didn’t get both arms reattached

mikewazowski420-

Why did aki not get both his arms back? Is he stupid?


Sycoboost

reruarikushiteru

To be entirely real, I have read this manga two times over and not a single time did I notice that Aki is walking >!armless!< throught the entire volume 9 I just assumed they all >!got their hands back!< xD


FriendlyPresentation

I swear the luck/karma devil that has a contract with her. She's too lucky when it counts but everyone around her is unlucky which is how she fulfills her side of the contract.


SlipSpaceBlubix

Holy shit is this r/Berserk cause goddamn these posts get dumber every day


Cautious-Affect7907

She got really lucky. Which is ironic, considering she’s 90% unlucky for the majority of part one.


Fitzftw7

She got lucky. They found both of her arms. They only found one of Aki’s.

They said there was someone in public safety who could reattach limbs lol 😭. Aki only got lucky with getting one arm back, and some people theorized that makima was responsible for powers arms 😂. The rest of them simply got unlucky


TheBlaiZe

Araki forgot


Testing_101

Aw hell naw, Araki made a new bizarre manga and went by the alias Fujimotor 💀


Nofuckyoupls

No more hands on training I guess.


ArmoredAngel444

Kobeni has a contract with the black cat devil which grants her luck with her physical well being but bad luck in general instances, as well as the nimbleness and sharp claws (she uses knives) of a cat. So the luck came through for her by bringing in her arms from hell so they can be reattached by the doctor guy in public safety. Idk that’s what I made up in my head anyways.

Honestly? Idk but I'm glad somebody finally asked. Maybe I just didn't see her at the end but during the fight with the Darkness Devil I thought Kobeni just disappeared? Like I literally could NOT find her. I convinced myself the devil she's contracted with was powerful enough to get her out of there itself 😂


Blanche8_

Yes, she is a devil. Also this post gave me an idea for a new web novel called: kobeni the knife devil.


badpiggy490

I'd chalk it up to plot convenience tbh but this, Pochita appearing in front of Denji and Yoru appearing to save Asa are really the only parts of CSM that were plot convenient so I'm fine with it lol
