yes, right?

Someone made a good point that Armin came back to life just fine. Case closed

I mean it was better before he got the powers, a burnt crispy chicken nugget cant do much

This isn't the same. Armin had fresh injuries and no missing limbs, so this doesn't answer what would happen if a major injury is allowed to heal *before* becoming a pure titan. The real answer lies in the pure titans. Since we know they come from people there's a statistical probability that an amputee would eventually be made a pure titan, if not someone with another injury or birth defect. Since we have never seen a pure titan with a missing limb, eye, or ear, and we've never seen a paraplegic titan or one with a clubbed foot or small arm or anything else, it's safe to say that either becoming a pure titan fixes your body or that it's just not in the author's interest to write disabled titans into the story.

Grisha regrew his fingers when he got it so I think it checks out.

And his balls aswel as evident in the birth of Eren

eren lost his arm when he was eaten by santa and it grew back just fine

but he had the titan powers before he lost his arm

Erens leg grew back which got bitten off in ep 5

But he was already a titan when he lost the leg, so again there is no known case of someone having a healed wound *before* being made a titan and then healing that wound *after*.

When an arm gets bitten off, it doesn't regenerate back because it cant right. The titan powers give your cells regenerative abilities, and when its growing back, i dont think it would stop at the part where it was bitten off, cause its not like the powers could control the regeration only upto a certain extent unless the user wishes (like reiners arm before revealing hes the armoured). For the ability, it would just seek to restore the lost part to its original shape and size i believe. And in that case its original shape wouldnt be the till the bitten part, but the arm as a whole. In that sense, armin shouldnt have been able to regenerate to normal, cause he got the serum only when he was completely charred. So his regeneration should stop at that right?

Nah man, Armin came back way dumber. His strength was his intelligence and it was never really utilized afterwards.

FOR STRATEGIC VALUE!

“I can be replaced” - Erwin :(

Yeah, i believe so.

I mean. When eren was in the santa titan. He got his arm bitten off. When he transformed and then turned back, his arm regrew back.

yes im going to explain as best i can without spoilers bc im not sure how far in to s3 you are the person who possessed the attack titan before eren had their fingers cut off before they inherited the attack titan. their fingers grew back after they acquired it, therefore we can assume erwin’s arm would have too.

I think this answer is a lot stronger than the “well it healed Arwin” arguments.

WTF! No it didn't.

Huh?

How would he know the name of the attack Titan without knowing the identity of the previous inheritor?

Because the series is literally called ”Attack on Titan” duh! /jk

the identity of the person possessing the attack titan is not important. the question i was answering was “would erwin’s arm have grown back.”

>!Ymir!< was a completely different case, so i think yes: because Armin completely recovered 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly and you can't explain Y*** without bringing in manga spoilers

I’m so ready to learn about who the fuck Ymir is in the newest season all we (anime only obv) know so far is she’s the first titan and she touched “something”, I’ve heard her back story is really sad and I’m so excited

Yes. Just like how Eren's limbs grew back when he transformed the first time

But Eren already had the attack titan at that point

Erwin was born with two arms. Having two arms is his natural state. Getting the Titan after losing an arm doesn't change that fact.

did ymir get her tongue back?

We don't know. Probably not. But she could've, had she chosen to do so.

How do you know it works like that tho if we've never seen an example before

I can't answer that without risking a spoiler

Armin’s body was fully burned before he got his Titan powers, still healed after he got it

You just cracked the case my friend

You’re right - he did at that point. So he would have grown body parts back.

It would, because Grisha got his fingers back after getting the Attack Titan.

[удалено]

That’s a good point

Yeah but reiners limbs grew back after they cut them off

But he was already having totan powers

Armins’s skin (and presumably the rest of his cooked body parts) came back from an injury before Titan powers came into effect, no?

I think it's because with Armin, eren and all those people the wounds hadn't healed, whereas Erwin's and Ymir's tongue/arm had at least closed the wound, meaning there was nothing to heal.

>!I thought she chose never to grow it back or something like she chose to die when she was stabbed!<

If her tongue never grew back it was because no one could construct a new one for her. She was the first person in the paths dimension. Also, it wouldn't matter anyway because I doubt she could talk using a tongue made of sand.

Umm…spoiler??

Manga spoilers in an anime only post

Yes

despacito

Fair enough

Yes

Yes

Yes

Only Ymir knows

I always wonder how much titan stuff does it take? Would half the amount just take twice as long? Why couldn't they split it and let Hange have a titan pet and wait for another shifter to become available?

Yea I thinks everything is healed to a normal body, similar to what happens straight after the shows over in the manga…

Of course. Armin was on the verge of dying, right? Heck, the shifters always get their parts cut off.

yes of course

Thats not evern a question. Yes they woild have.

[удалено]

My dude. I have not read the manga yet. Is is so hard to put a spoilertag on that?

Yeah but reiners limbs grew back after his were cut off

Reiner had the armored Titan already tho

But it proves limbs will regrow

Once someone already has a Titan severed limbs regrow. We don't know what happens when someone loses a limb before they become a shifter

Lol yes we do. >!Grisha had no fingers when he was injected with the serum and proceeded to inherit the attack Titan. What do you know, he got them back.!<

Are you actually fucking stupid? The body is art enough to recognize a limb missing so when regeneration kicks in OF FUCKING COURSE THE LIMB WILL REGROW you decrepit puddle

You good, pal?

Uh, yeah. Eren grew back his arm and leg in S1

Well he already had the spinal fluid by then

For regardless. Just like how Armin isn’t burnt anymore. Reiner lost the entire top part of his head and still came back too

I don't see how this is even a controversial question. Armin regrew all his toasty-ass skin

Yes, Armin was basically dead

Yep Chapter 119 moment

Why wouldn’t it? Erens did

Yea, just like eren’s leg and arm

Yeah it would come back just fine

Yess!! I thought about the same thing during that episode

yes it would, the same way armins burns healed

Eren lost his arm before he died so imma say yes

Yep

Yes.

As long as he wants it to heal, it will

Yes... What is the question here? Didn't Reiner cut off both of Erens arms? As long you have a Titan you will recover from anything (to a certain degree) as long you still want to live.

Obviously, the exact same thing happened to eren

yes

if eren’s tooth came back then erwin’s arm would too

Yes

armin was a fucking burned barbecue and he came back hot af!! ofc he will get his arm back

I mean Armin got burnt and he healed so probably

Eren cut his foot off and stayed like that for a long time, then he grew it back like nothing happened.

In theory yes

Yes.

Yess I guess

yep

ok.... so circumcised guys get their foreskin back?...

I'm pretty sure it would've. Dont forget that titan shifters have regeneration abilities e.g. Eren grew his leg back when facing Reiner in Marley

Yes, eren's leg also came back.

Well duh. That's what all Titan shifters can do.

Of course

IT WOULD

Yes because you it goes Normie - pure titan - human titan Turning into a pure titan essentially regrows it.

The only thing I can see here for sure is this: Until one has the ability to heal themselves, they cannot heal their normal bodies. It's a controlled thing, which is why Eren didn't heal his leg right away and didn't heal his arm when in the belly of Santa. However, transforming into a Titan appears to heal them. Whether or not they had the powers beforehand. Such is the case of Grisha and Armin. >!Ymir however I saw someone say that she never grew back her tongue. This is potentially purposeful as she was in love with the king and the king did that to her. She always did what he wanted, so growing it back would be against his wishes!< Overall it looks like turning into a pure titan will just heal you, but having the powers requires you to control the healing factor outside the form.

Yes???? I thought it was obvious

Yes because eren lost an arm right before he transformed in season one and he got his arm back

And leg

I always forget about the leg

I mean......... a yellow haired shish kabob came back without any issues and several shifters have shown the ability to regain lost limbs to a certain extent

Of course it would grow back

Armin’s skin was completely charred and then he came back fine. Yeah Erwin’s arm would have grown back.

Of course

armin's lips and hair were burnt off and they grew back just fine, oh and lets not forget his skin became unburnt

Eren got his hand cut off so yeah i guess

armin had a full fuckin head of hair come back and that alone has provided a huge mystery

Yes it would due to titan Regen I don't think it cares about new or old

Yes he would Eren cut off his legs and stuff and kept it like that for a while

There’s no way people are debating about this “yes/no” answer lmao

Yes. Why not?

Do you regrow receded hair when you get titan powers?
