>enemy has super regeneration powers
>loses by being sealed into immobility or trapped in an endless cycle
Is there a more creative way to defeat such opponents without causing eternal suffering?
Enemy has super regeneration powers
Kill them even if they won't die.
LIVE
Overkilling them to supass their regenerative power?
I mean that's kinda how some fights against homonculi are played in FMA.
obliterate every cell in their body at the same moment
One was introduced in csm finale recently: immobilize, turn into bacon, cook, eat and assimilate cells.
There are a few like killing them so many times their powers got exhausted like in fma and Katanagatari
But overall, yeah, it's not really possible.
A life of eternity would lead to eternity of suffering.
>Make them join your side.
>Repeatedly kill them till their energy/live stock depletes
>Destroy their spirit/soul/core.
Their's tons of ways really.
If it's thought-based and not automatic, maybe you can make them so depressed they lose the will to live.

Well, I do like the idea on paper. When there are a wide variety of powers and factors in a battle series, it'd be interesting if there were some enemies who simply CAN'T be beaten in a straightforward sense, and have to be taken down in an unorthodox manner.
In the case of super regeneration, I'd say you'd have to either:
>Seal/immobilize them
>Remove or prevent them from using their ability (if there's some established way to cancel their powers) and then kill them the normal way
>Obliterate their body completely until there's literally nothing left to regenerate from
>If someone has pocket dimension powers, simply warp the enemy to another dimension and leave them there until they find a way to dispose of them later, although this is pretty unsatisfying
Make it your loli slave and spoil with donuts.
Rape.
Based Shirobako chad.
make them have an actual character arc where they learn to respect the mc or someone in their group for valid reasons or jutst talk no jutsu them
>Enemy is a poison user.
>MC beat them by punching harder because fuck tactics I guess.
Mushoku tensei also had a good one, cut into five parts and seal each separately for hundreds of years.
I've never seen any story explore the idea that if you permanently stick a big metal rod into a regenerator's brain there's no space for the brain to regenerate. It might try to go around, but if the rod is big enough it won't have a way to properly connect itself back together, resulting in permanent lobotomy.
If it's an enemy turned ally
>sacrifice themselves against an otherwise unbeatable bosz
If it's a because of some biological cell science-magic:
>create an antidote that destroys the regenerative cells that make the enemy regenerative
If it's because of actual magic:
>destroy the source of it's power either by getting rid of it or offering something better for another power thus disabling the regenerative magic
If their being is literally regeneration and not because of an experiment or magical shit but literally how they are:
>incinerate every cell of their body via a powerful attack or several nukes
>send them into space
Granted those method works on the upper enemy types but yeah. Otherwise it's your method OP.
>immobilize, turn into bacon, cook, eat
Dungeon Meshi did it first.
Destroy world so they have nowhere to exist.
Obliterate their mind/consciousness.
>enemy is fucking invincible
>dies by asspull
it's been done to death but I think the execution is what delivers it
OP said creative.
You could genetically modify his regenerative cells so they become cancerous instead, which makes him die a really painful but fast death. Or modify them so they instead of regenerating into their original form them regenerate into something useless, like a jellyfish.
What does poison have to do with the opponent's martial prowess or toughness? If they can't administer poison then buy time for the poison to deteriorate their enemy then they''d lose.
But what if their skin is like a poison dart frog? How do you deal with an enemy that can kill you with a simple touch?
put your boots on and start kicking
Break their bones and heal them wrong before they do it right.
Just throw them into the sun.
Turn the regeneration against them.
ie. Give them cancer.
