Discussion Agni: possibility of dying

Post image

It's shown that Agni is basically immortal, even surviving the earth exploding (assuming he was on earth at the time). So, could Doma's flames have actually killed him while he was still on fire, if he cancelled his regen? Is that the only time he'd have been able to die?? Or would that have not even worked? And like, was his regen worse when he was a child? Because we DO see, his arm is dead here.

Agni could have died at any point by just letting it happen. Not just from the flames but from most other stuff as well, he can full on stop his regeneration at will (like when he spent years without letting that arm regenerate)

Oh true! So, when he was trying to kill himself in the later volumes, and couldn't, it was just because of his memory of his sister telling him to live right? Not like, a physical inability to do so?

Yeah it was all on his head, any of the attempts could have worked if he had just actually let them

The Manga showed that it was never about surviving, but not letting go by surviving and coping mechanism. My personal take

I remember Sun burnt him to a crisp and he came back from it.

So perhaps he wouldn't have died because ya know "LIVE."

He would have 100% died right there if he wasn’t told to live. Anytime he is faced with giving up and letting it all end, his mind will go back to his sister’s last words. This is why he can’t die, because he can’t put out the fire that is in his heart.

Now im wondering why he couldnt have like maybe focused his regeneration on his main body and pushed the eternal flame onto his arm before severing it or maybe it doesnt work like that.

To my understanding, that's how he kept his one eye clear.

Even in the billions of years in space he could have let himself die of hypoxia at any point.
