We often address that he did all of that after being blown up, with just one eye, broken bones, a bunch of stitches, but one thing we don't talk enough about is that Levi did all of that with his thumb, ring and pinky fingers.
Let’s just go over the diagram and list what each of the parts of the handle does, and which fingers they used to control them.
Trigger 1/Fire anchor: Index finger
Trigger 2/Gas: Middle finger
Lever/Retract cable: Ring/Pinkie finger
Joystick/Aim of the anchor: Thumb
So to use the ODM fully, you need 4 fingers at least. My question is how the hell did Levi do all of that with just 3 fingers? What would the placement of the fingers be? Or would he just depend on his left hand more?
In this picture we can see the placement of the fingers, and this was possible since he used the technique of holding the blades in opposite directions (one to the back and the other to the front). Him positioning his hand like this meant his thumb was away from the joystick, and having no control over it. But if he did it like that, then here is what needs to be addressed:
The only fingers that he had on his right hand were the thumb, the ring finger, and the pinkie.
You could have noticed that your ring finger and pinkie move together; it is almost impossible to move one without the other. That happens due to interconnected tendons and nerve pathways in the hand. Ring and pinkie fingers share tendons and nerve branches, which makes it difficult to move them separately. (see the diagram )
So not only did he use those two fingers, but he also managed to move them independently (which biologically is almost impossible), and he did all of that days after being blown up? INSANE!
I have no idea how to conclude this... Yeah, I basically did an anatomical research to write this, and I'm just gonna end this by saying that he and his skills are beyond our understanding of the human body and biology.
