In Episode 12 of the first season, after Shinku repelled Suigintou's fire
attack back at her and her clothes burn off we see her torso is missing. after
Shinku finish explaining how Suigintou was unfinished Suigintou's upper half
falls to the ground.

Why it only when her clothes have been burned off does the reality of her
floating upper half take effect? what was keeping both halves together as if
she did have a torso?

How does Suigintou function without her torso?


There are quite a few differences between the anime and manga in Rozen Maiden.

Suigintou's torso is one of those.

In the anime, she has no torso connecting her upper and lower halves. [Rozen
Maker Wikia](http://rozenmaiden.wikia.com/wiki/Suigintou) tells that it is
shown in the two episedos of [Rozen Maiden
Ouvertüre](http://myanimelist.net/anime/1719/Rozen_Maiden:_Ouvert%C3%BCre)
that she was left incomplete and unassembled, not even receiving a Rosa
Mystica. Her love for her father makes her able to move her upper body only.
She is awarded a Rosa Mystica later.

There are no explanations to how she could move her both halves of her body
without the connecting torso.

In the manga, Suigintou does have her torso. But she is ashamed of it, because
it is defective, with cracks that cover most of her back, and through which
her wings come out.

So the manga also does not offer an explanation, since the problem itself does
not exist there.
