Why cant he just cut off his arm?


All the troubles of travelling could be avoided.

The infection wont spread either.

This is a stupid movie.

why do people uphOLd THE devil when they know the definition of itself?

It's not a biological virus. He's been touched by hate. Which meant he'd have to leave either way. So the troubles of traveling would still be there, but he'd only have one arm and still be infected.

This is a great movie.

Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.

Well, that was an option. Eboshi even attempts to do this. I think he was hopeful for a cure, but then it became too late.
