Upcoming events will be very important, Dombros…
We’ll either see our hero fall or witness his true power.
We’ve seen that Dominic’s durability/healing factor let him tank and very quickly heal from the decently deep cut to the skull by Igarashi using one of Marishiten 3.5’s “super hard blades” in
Chapter 95, and the cut to his Achilles tendon in this chapter from a UN-made katana.
The fact that we’ve seen both
UN-made katana and
NIN-made katana slice through limbs with ease in previous chapters, yet both fail before our boy, leads me to believe that the key to (at least) the durability portion of Dom’s resistance lies in his
bones.
All of the wounds that we’ve seen Dominic take have only ever caused flesh wounds. We see blood drawn from “smaller” things like the kunai thrown by Kato and the glass from Ekoeko Tower’s window, but never anything that causes lasting damage. In some cases the wounds heal in a matter of pages.
Since Dominic actually
collapsed after the cut from Igarashi, I believe that he was just knocked out by the blow shaking his brain inside his skull.
While a cut to the Achilles tendon could spell bad news for our boy’s ability to fight back, I’d like to think that his healing factor will let him quickly recover.
Ganbatte, Dom-san.
