He must have retained at least SOME of the sensory portion of his nose when Usagi mutilated it, because even now it is impossible to create a working prosthetic nose.

Just saying. No offense intended to Stan.

I think that this Wikipedia page will explain everything:

If that doesn't work for you, just pretend a wizard did it (Maybe it was Segonara from Nilson Groundthumper & Hermy).

so animals that talk, yokai, obakemono, wizards, soul that go from one body to another, are okay with you, but not a wooden nose... it is quite funny

I never said it wasn't okay with me.

I guess there was something magic about the wood his nose was made of.

Dear Readers,
"He must have retained at least SOME of the sensory portion of his nose when Usagi mutilated it"
Doesn't he say the world has a pine scent?
This means a portion of the olfactory nerves were still connected and working.
Best wishes to all,
go

yihaa point proven, yep zato ino just needed an extension for his slashed of but still working nose

You're over-thinking this way too much. I just thought it was funny to give him a wooden nose.

The pine scent was the best part!

Hmm... I guess I am. ^^'

To be honest, I didn't wonder how he was able to smell with a wooden nose until I asked someone if it was possible to make a working prosthetic nose. ^^'

I am concerned that Gen's horn means he isn't horny enough. Wouldn't the loss of Gen's horn make him less horny?

I have read that some horns have nerve endings that extend up through the middle which would mean some serious pain. An exposed nerve ending would be even worse.

Did you have to be so blunt while you were pointing this out?
