As mentioned by @Gagantous , provide sources for your answer. Answers, from what others here always say, should require no verification from the user so it should be able to stand on its own. It should also be verified easily if there is doubt from others, hence the need for sources.

<p>In the last minute of the <em>Akira</em> movie, we could see that Tetsuo's hand had several injuries, until some laser beam from outer space shot on him, cutting his arm off.</p>

<p>In short, he made an artificial arm using metal and building scrap. Everything looked fine until his ability got out of control. The veins and nerves spread into many material things, and suddenly he could produce flesh, muscles and veins from his cut-off hand using his ESP ability. </p>

<p>How could he produce such things? I thought ESP is an ability to move and destroy things that exist using mind control, not to produce a new skin and flesh.</p>

In the last minute of the *Akira* movie, we could see that Tetsuo's hand had several injuries, until some laser beam from outer space shot on him, cutting his arm off.

In short, he made an artificial arm using metal and building scrap. Everything looked fine until his ability got out of control. The veins and nerves spread into many material things, and suddenly he could produce flesh, muscles and veins from his cut-off hand using his ESP ability.
