Within the accelerated world, when someone gets damaged or injured (even
severely), they fully recover after leaving and re-entering the accelerated
realm. (If you are killed you also come back normally.)

For example:

  * Taku cuts off Haruyuki's arm. (ep 5)
  * Niko's left arm is ripped off when Yellow Radio's minions tear apart her fortress. (ep 11)

![Taku cuts off Haruyuki's arm. \(ep 5,

Yellow Radio's minions tear apart per fortress. \(ep 11,
15:45\)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/UuP4W.png)

Both of these injuries (a loss of an entire limb) are serious injuries that
can't be recovered in battle.* However, when they leave and re-enter the
accelerated world, they are fully recovered.

*Barring Chiyuri's time-reversal ability.

But there are at least two instances of when damage is not reversed upon re-
entering the accelerated world:

  * Kuroyukihime amputates Fuuko's legs - hence the wheelchair. (described in ep 16)
  * Noumi steals Haruyuki's wings. (ep 15)

![Fuuko is in a wheelchair because she no longer has
legs.](https://i.stack.imgur.com/PiNEy.png)![Noumi steals Haruyuki's
wings.](https://i.stack.imgur.com/3YMqA.png)

So what determines whether damage is healed?

Furthermore, how does Chiyuri's time-reversal ability play into this?

When is damage "permanent" in Accel World?


It seems not to be some kind of "rule", but aspect of specific stronger
abilities/avatars:

  * it was explicitly said that Black Lotus avatar inflicts permanent damage with her blades
  * "steal" ability wouldn't be much of a steal without permanent aspect to it

I don't think it was explored (in anime at least) if there are ways to
purposely achieve it (from leveling up would be logical) or as other aspects
of avatars some people just happen to have it.

It appears that Haruyuki's wings act almost like an item, similar to the Gale
Thruster, but untradeable. Noumi's special move allowed him to transfer this
item to himself. It is noted in the show that Fuuko's legs are now artificial
in the real world, implying that Kuroyukihime physically amputated them in the
real world.

Dusk Taker (Nuomi) ability Demonic Commander can't be considered a ability
that deals some kind of "permanent damage" but more like "ability transfer" or
"ability taker", for that reason Demonic Commander doesn't deal any damage,
and while my memory about the Anime is hazy, I'm pretty sure that the HP bar
of Silver Crow (Haruyuki) didn't decreased and that left Haruyuki puzzled at
first when Nuomi used such ability. It couldn't be classified as damage hence
it's not healed, but restored with the Lime Bell (Chiyuri) ability Citron Call
that reverses the status of the avatar/object.

About Sky Rakker (Fuuko) legs is not until latter in the history that this is
explained, so this is considered spoiler from the Light Novel (unless the
anime decides not to follow the history, this is what happens):

> Black Lotus (Kuroyukihime) didn't used a normal ability but the Incarnated
> System to cut Sky Rakker legs. This produces a overwriting of Fuuko avatar
> that whenever she appears in Territory Battles or the Unlimited Field, her
> legs are not present. This becomes more evident when they try to use Citron
> Call to restore Sky Rakker legs but it doesn't works since the overwriting
> of the Incarnated System is stronger than any ability.
