In the last minute of the _Akira_ movie, we could see that Tetsuo's hand had
several injuries, until some laser beam from outer space shot on him, cutting
his arm off.

In short, he made an artificial arm using metal and building scrap. Everything
looked fine until his ability got out of control. The veins and nerves spread
into many material things, and suddenly he could produce flesh, muscles and
veins from his cut-off hand using his ESP ability.

How could he produce such things? I thought ESP is an ability to move and
destroy things that exist using mind control, not to produce a new skin and
flesh.

question
akira
Why could Tetsuo's hand reproduce many flesh, muscles and veins using his ESP?


In the manga, it is explained that the power that gives Tetsuo his
psychokinetic abilities is trying to break free, as his body is no longer
enough to contain it. To compensate for this, his body is trying to absorb
material from all around him. As for why he could produce additional matter,
the power trying to break free might be partially converting energy into
additional mass during his breakdown, allowing him to generate additional
flesh.
