Hashirama’s cells have been very special from the past until now, but what makes them special?

Hashirama’s cells are special of course because Hashirama himself is very special and unique.

Hashirama is one of the strongest ninja in history, because he is a Senju clan and also the reincarnation of Asura.

With the great power he has, Hashirama can even master the wood element which is a ninja that only he can naturally do and he can heal his body cells constantly without doing hand seals.

The Hashirama cells referred to here are Hashirama’s DNA such as Hashirama’s blood or flesh.

The point is that Hashirama’s body parts have some of Hashirama’s powers and special qualities.

The main thing about Hashirama’s cells is that they have stamina and regeneration abilities like Hashirama, even though the cells have been separated from Hashirama’s main body for hundreds of years.

3. Hashirama’s cells are nearly compatible with all other humans.

Hashirama’s cells act like donor organs for those who use this power.

Madara, Obito, and Danzo are some examples who use Hashirama’s cells in their bodies.

Interestingly, Hashirama’s cells are almost always compatible with their donor target, meaning they can be compatible with all humans!

4. Although everyone will benefit from Hashirama’s cells, such as regeneration abilities, not everyone can get Mokuton abilities.

While almost everyone is compatible with Hashirama’s cells, there aren’t many bad conditions that occur (although there are some cases).

However, not all those implanted with Hashirama’s cells can use the wood element. It is known that only Yamato can.

So that’s the explanation of why Hashirama’s cells are so special. What do you think?
