Namekian Regeneration Resilience
Piccolo-arc Toriyama register where the body grows back stronger from the wound, and the wound is the curriculum.

The prompt
Render in Toriyama Namekian-arc cel style at the moment of regenerative recovery, mid-arm-regrowth or post-wound stitch-back. Palette: olive green skin, sage shadow, deep emerald muscle shading, oxblood blood reduced to two flat values not painterly, ochre gi accent, pale mint regeneration aura at the wound site. Ink line work in solid black with deliberate weight variation, anime cel shading at two flat values, soft scanline texture overlaid faintly. The regrowing limb or wound site rendered with TIGHT cellular-suggesting line work, a faint inner glow of pale mint plasma pushing outward as if cellular reconstruction is mechanically visible. Sweat across the brow, jaw clenched but not in agony, posture forward, the implication being this hurts but the regeneration is COMPOUND interest on prior damage. Background flat sage-grey wash, faint horizon line suggesting Namek-like terrain, no clutter, no spectators. Mood: stoic antifragility, the wound treated as raw material. Anti-luxury: no triumphant pose, no aura halo, no gold trim, no glamour, the scene reads medical-stoic not heroic. Forbid legible on-canvas text, watermarks, logos, named hate symbols, and any depiction resembling a real public figure. Preserve the subject, pose, and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering.
What it is doing
The body that regrows the arm gets STRONGER from the loss. People who refuse the wound stay smooth, untested, fragile, and price themselves as if smoothness were value. The market eventually finds them. Scar tissue is the only durable asset because it is the only one you cannot fake or buy.
