    But this still doesn't explain how he can have no wound at all.

    Curaga, Full-Life... all those could easily explain how there's no wound. At the start of the game, Squall's face is deeply gashed by Seifer's gunblade. Seifer suffers a similar injury. Squall wears a bandage for a couple of hours, but then he's fine. Seifer doesn't bother with a bandage at all.

    No sutures, no antibiotics, no dressing - but both have a permanent scar within hours of sustaining their injuries. If this were to happen in real life, their wounds would re-open and bleed for days, even weeks. Squall would've had blood all over his face during the entire Dollet mission.
    It makes no sense at all, unless some kind of Healing magic were used to aid their recovery. I'm guessing Dr Kadowaki has a stock of white magic spells.

    As for the whole Icicle deal, well here's a logical explination. Upon impact if the ice was cold enough it would have cortorized on the moment of impact. In other words, it would've sealed off the tissue around the wound, thusly no blood loss is suffered, which considering the point of impact would be the cause of death since it quite possibly missed any vital organs. As for how he was patched up afterwards...Magic. Curaga, I dunno. I'm not here to explain this to you people! I'm going for a snooze.

    maybe there is a giant gaping hole in his chest, but didn't die because of curative magic. they never show squall with his shirt and jacket off, do they? so it's possible he has a giant gaping hole in his chest

    Thank you Hysterian!

    He says that there is no wound at all, but I guess the only explanation is magic of some sort.

    That makes sense, what with Edea being a POWERFUL SORCERESS with STRONGER MAGIC THAN REGULAR HUMANS and all that

    I think "because it's a videogame" fits pretty well in this instance.

    Or the "icicle" never did any real damage. It was magic itself. Who's to say it was actaully ice. It could have just took the likeness of ice. It could have went through him in an ethereal fashion. Perhaps its purpose was merely to knock him out, drain him, or some such stuff. They never specifically state the reasoning, or purpose. She obviously didn't need to kill him to defend herself.

    Remember, Magic is a very real thing in these stories. It can heal a wound or make one. It definitely did damage. Edea just healed it afterward, probably.

    He was the leader of the group sent to put a bullet in her head. That's what masamune1600 was referring to.

    Maybe he fed some idiot Polyjuice Potion and the idiot took his place while Squall watch(and grinned) from the sidelines! The idiot died and all Squall had to do was act all weak and stuff! The power of wizardry!
