Presumably yes? He either came back from dust or his arms took on his consciousness. Rudeus's worries implies the former is the case.

Hmm, if it's the former, then it seems I'll have to drop the immortal demon point. If it's the latter, my point is proven.

You think we have any particular way to prove this other than semantic disputes?

Rudeus believes with certainty Badigadi will return from dust, and fears he could "fast-track" his regeneration by gathering up his remaining flesh instead of taking the lengthy process of restoring his whole body. Also, his destruction by the King Dragon Blade and by the Ringus Sea explosion are both described as "annihilation."

I believe there still exists a distinction, being in the latter, his regeneration is stated to have halted. Furthermore, I do not take Rudeus to be a reliable speaker for immortal demon properties, as, he simply is not fully aware as to how they function.

Read, I said I prefer VC, I can still continue on this infinite regress that's going on here, as I said, it just seems redundant. The entire debate boils down to a category error between the three types of reasoning. I'm upholding abductive reasoning, which is simply the inference to the best explanation. Your attacking my reasoning as if it's deductive, aka absolutes / neccisities, and as if it's Inductive aka the most likely outcome; which, both require the propositions in support of them to be of absolute truth or falsity. Since that is not the case in fiction, I'm upholding a form of fuzzy logic, and a form of best explanation and thus, abductive reasoning.

I mean you're trying to using Abductive Reasoning on something already handled by the standards, which you'll need a lot to prove why it isn't as the standards say.

Due to this, the issues you see within my reasoning fail to be actual critiques— as your trying to lower the probability and certainly, aka attacking this as if it's inductive and deductive reasoning— without proving your case to be the best explanation. My cases are aimed to be the best explanation, and thus, to counter this, you must present a counter abductive case, which you haven't. Hence your major category errors.

I'm not really trying to use Abductive Reasoning and trying to prove said reasoning is the best explanation, I'm just sticking to the standards. For the example I took above, it's like someone trying to push the 1-A agenda, using Abductive Reasoning to try to counter the anti feats and say use Abductive Reasoning to counter that, when he has just a bunch of anti feats. Just gotta use the scans and the standards to disapprove his proposal.

Note: I messed up my wording a bit, inductive is probability, deductive is certainty, abductive is best explanation. You guys are attacking probability and certainty rather than best explanation.

Abductive is just an inference to the best explanation, it is not necessarily true, unlike deductive.

Did his main body ever regenerate? Like actually?

It can regenerate, as he did when he was annihilated by Laplace.

As for the arms, he doesn't really regenerate his body from them, but they come to his main body to complete the process, though the process doesn't start instantly and generally the main body waits for the other parts to come together, and if they don't, it regenerates.

“Damnit!” I choked out, then quickly hurled the arm as far as I could throw it. It sailed off down into the Earthwyrm Ravine. It had taken Atofe a while to recover after she’d been cut into pieces. By putting distance between Badigadi and his severed limbs, he wouldn’t be able to restore them right away.
They’d come back eventually… But it had to be worth something to make that feat take longer.

And when he regenerates without that part, his body shrinks, hence why his main body shrunk when he was sealed.

“Oof!” Straight away, I wheeled around and went to retrieve Badigadi’s arm. It pulsated inside the golden gauntlet. I tossed it away.
“Fwahahaha! Futile, all futile!” Badigadi’s arm regrew, popping right out of his shoulder…like a certain race of green aliens. “Hmph.”
Oh, but it hadn’t been futile. His new arm was bare—it wasn’t covered by the armor.
“Oho! That’s how we’re doing this, are we? You’ve thought this through, boy!”
Now, on the ground where I’d thrown the arm, there was a magic circle ready to go. The arm and the armor lay there and didn’t start regenerating.
Maybe it was my imagination, but Badigadi looked like he’d shrunk.
