No, Only a Flesh Wound is counting on a smaller version of this trope. Usually this is a bullet wound or, at best, a chunk of flesh missing (like, the size of a grapefruit, I guess). This is talking about missing limbs, where, usually, more than 1/5th of their body has been severed and their still moving around. The difference is this version NEEDS supernatural explanation [or comedic explanation] while the other can be accounted to Rule of Cool
Why, the page quote and sort of trope namer of only a flesh wound involves a man who lost all of his limbs, which well qualifies for a fifth of the body. "Smaller version" is not a valid reason to have two pages on what is basically the same trope either, even if only a flesh wound did not cover this page's content anyway.

Way I see it:
Only a Flesh Wound is about someone shrugging off what should be crippling wounds because fictional people are hardier, dammit.
Who Needs Their Whole Body? is about Bizarre Alien Biology or some such where a wound isn't crippling because, well, to them, it's not a crippling wound.
You glossed over the second part of his post, which I'm pretty sure is the important part.

Isn't this a duplicate of Only a Flesh Wound? That was even brought up on you know the thing where.
