==== 12-15: ====
== [[Anime]] ==
* [[Kenichi: theThe Mightiest Disciple|Nijima]], for all his wimpiness, can at least take a few hits from fighters
* Tadashi of [[Onidere (Manga)|Onidere]] can take some damage from Saya. Of course, she holds back when she does have to beat him up, but her holding back is still pretty painful. He doesn't walk away without scratches, though, and has been stated that he would die without question if she weren't holding back like crazy.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* [[Indiana Jones]] has been shown to be able to take more damage than your average person, but compared to many characters from other action films, a decent pounding or a single gunshot is enough to put him in deep trouble.
* <s> Spike</s> [[Transformers (Filmfilm)|Sam Witwicki]], while no match for any of the marines in the films, the fact that he's getting thrown around like a ragdoll while trying to not get killed by giant, sentient robots, and only suffers cardiac arrest in the second film is a testament to him being tougher than your average teenager.
 
== [[Mythology]] ==
* Technically, [[The Iliad (Literature)|Achilles]]. The reasoning is thus: while he was invulnerable in all but his heels, he still died pretty quickly to a poison-tipped arrow. His legendary imperviousness is likely more a case of insane [[Damage Reduction]] than outright high Con.
 
==== 16-19: ====
== [[Anime]] ==
* [[Kenichi: theThe Mightiest Disciple|Kenichi]] Can take a ''lot'' of damage. He's basically the toughest character in the series barring Master-level characters. His life can still be put on the line, but unless you're a Master-level martial artist, expect to have to continually pound his face in for a good twenty minutes before he stops moving.
* [[Rurouni Kenshin|Kenshin and Sano]] can take more hits than a brick wall. Literally. They'll still die if they're left in that state, and Kenshin especially is on the brink of death by the time Makoto Shisio is through with him. Still, that's saying something when you consider that it means Kenshin was ''still alive'' against someone as skilled as he in Hiten Misturugi Ryu.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* [[Die Hard (Film)|John McClane]], in every single film, gets beat to hell before the end of the film, possibly stabbed, probably shot, and likely with at least one broken rib. But he isn't done until he says "[[Catch Phrase|Yippee Kai-yay, Mother F----er]]"
* [[Jackie Chan]] regularly takes beatings in his films, and though they're usually cumulative, it isn't until the end of the film that it really starts affecting him. He usually barely wins
* [[Old BoyOldboy|Oh Dae-su]]. Exactly what it'd take to bring this man down is uncertain, but a corridor full of people trying to beat him up combined with a knife in the back and an elevator full of henchmen afterwards obviously wasn't enough.
 
 
Line 51:
* [[Love Hina|Keitaro Urashima]] has been stated as being "immortal," going so far as to be launched about a half-mile into the air, on several occasions, by Makoto. He's also been hit by a van, dropped off a cliff, you name it. And the worst damage he's ever sustained is a broken leg.
* Arguably, ever single character in [[Grappler Baki]]. Considering that nearly everyone in the series is throwing around punches and kicks that would kill a normal human in one blow, it's amazing that <s> they all</s> most manage to survive with reasonably limited permanent damage.
* ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'': Roronoa Zoro, in a single fight, lost more blood than actually exists in a human body. It's still having an effect on him, but the fact that he's alive at all is nothing short of miraculous.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
Line 58:
==== 24+: ====
== [[Anime]] ==
* By default, any [[DragonballDragon Ball|Saiyan]]. Every Saiyan, [[The Dragon|Dragon]], and [[Big Bad]] from the Saiyan Saga forward can at least destroy a mountain with little effort. And they all take blows with equivalent power ''in rapid succession''. They also regularly take blasts to the face that can blow up planets or more, and show little to no damage from them.
* [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Jack Rakan]]. The man takes half a dozen anti-''army'' spells to face, gets pinballed through the air several times, and gets impaled by a giant magical spear all in one fight. Then he gets up and ''laughs''. {{spoiler|It takes a [[Reality Warper]] who can erase him from existence to take him out, and even then it's only temporary.}}
 
Line 67:
 
== [[Mythology]] ==
* [[Journey to Thethe West|The Monkey King]] is ''Doubly Immortal.'' He can't be killed by being stabbed, sliced, boiled, eaten, squished, drowned, bludgeoned... yeah, you get the picture.
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* O-Chul from ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]''. In his case, it's quite literal, as [[Word of God]] has confirmed his Constitution score to be in the mid-20s. Throw the man in a pool of acid (complete with acid-breathing shark!), then watch him get impaled on the spikes at the bottom, and get attacked by the shark several times before he gets out, and he'll STILL try to blitz your ass.
** [[Memetic Mutation|O-Chul does not have a Constitution score. Constitution has an O-Chul score.]]
