Oh that- that's an animation crutch.

You see, the Vader sprite sheet I used was horrible- literally everything in the animation was everything the sheet had- and even then I was making my own for several points. So, Anakin had a far better one- and I had a somewhat plausible reason for using it- so I did because it made the fight easier/more interesting to animate.

As for the actual reason behind it- Vader has the ability to, briefly, turn his body healthy again by giving into the Dark Side and filling his heart with hate. I say briefly because he can't do it permanently. In canon I don't think it actually regrows limbs either- it just repairs what's there like his lungs and stuff.

So, when pressed and beaten in his Vader form, I had him fully give in and go to his healthy body. Not entirely wrong, but still technically quite wrong.

This is one of the two (soon to be three and possibly four) fights I've got that was an animation first and a Deathbattle second. So I wrote the battle around the animation.
