Here is the first SPOILER image from the upcoming UQ Holder chapter 22, courtesy of the VERY gracious Southrop. (My review of chapter 22 should come out Wednesday.)
UQ HOLDER CHAPTER 22 SPOILERS
The UQ Holder chapter 22 goodness begins.^_^
According to Southrop, Touta is still cracking j0kes about “ochinchin” and Kuroumaru. ^_^;
Singing, “Here I come to save the day!”
It appears that Kuroumaru’s bottom half wasn’t reattached to Kuroumaru’s torso, but are in fact in the process of regenerating. I still don’t understand how Kuroumaru’s arm was reattached earlier rather than simply regenerating. ^_^;
As I look at this image, I’m thinking that Touta’s new arms probably don’t feel so good to Kuroumaru’s regenerating limbs.
Also, if Touta doesn’t realize that Kuroumaru doesn’t have a winkle after this scene, then he really is a thick skull. ^_^;
If there are any more spoilers, I’ll make an update. ^_^
Well the chances are attaching was quicker than regenerating.
Eva and touta regen is magically related, say if limb was destroyed it would regenerate via using magic.
Kuromaru regen likely uses some form of energy whether it external or internal… It would take time and would likely be taxing.
Karin since she a being of holy light most likely have the property of light and don’t regen but rather instantly recombine of phase…
Negi in lightning form more of less reforms himself as for his actual wound regeneration… It was linked to magia erebea and would likely involve magical regeneration.
That is what happened, as I understood the chapter, but in my mind, if Kuromaru’s immortality is based on regeneration, then it would seem to follow that Kuroumaru couldn’t just slap back on a severed arm. After all, regeneration should happen immediately, so would the arm even fit? ^_^; But that’s just the way my mind works.
I suppose there is a time limit… Like he has to reattach it in a certain time frame or regeneration doesn’t happen until x time has passed.
Alternatively the newly regenerated cells might help with reattaching the arm… To be honest ken akatmatsu is just throwing out all kinds of immortality, I would like to see the reincarnation, Phoenix rebirth or something like doctor who type immortality… The obtaining a new body upon death has been a fascinating concept for me personally.
Hata-sensei touched on that in the Hayate the Combat Butler: Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” anime.
Yay chapter on manga stream, an interesting negi reference was made on page two…
This is more or less akatmatsu sensei teasing negi fans on whether negi actually got killed or is actually because they made magia erebea type immortality sound quite formidable…
I look forward to reading it. ^_^
Ew typo meant to say dead, anyways I feel they going go on negi, touta and Evangeline type of immortality later…
The thing is touta if he is negi grandchild… That would make him a descendent of a dark magic immortal demonic being who fused with magia erebea and Eva also revived him with her blood… There a chance touta has inherited elements of negi magia erebea and Eva blood just awaken the dormant power.
I could see Touta getting elements from both Negi and Eva.

ANB, look at the 5:00: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFjq76AJgYA
She nailed it!
Sweet. A Tenchi and a Ryoko cosplayer. ^_^ Thanks for the share. ^_^
Well it’s not like Touta can’t figure out that Kuroumaru has a winkle. It’s just that every time he tried to confirm it he got horrible horrible violence unleashed upon him XD
Exactly! He might not be looking down simply out of respect (although that’s really hard to believe, coming from him…)!!!
*lol* He’d look. ^_~
