Immortal Life Is Cheap: Difference between revisions

* That one guy from ''[[Ninja Scroll]]'', the one who turns himself to stone all over... except for his eyes, which is, of course, how he gets beaten.

** And the [[Big Bad]], who suffered an [[And I Must Scream]] defeat.

* Several characters in ''[[Baccano]]!'' go to ''town'' with this trope, most notably Fermet, who spent a couple hundred years taking advantage of his and Czeslaw's immortality to perform every kind of gruesome "experiment" on poor Czes that he could think of. Then again, since almost everyone in the series is [[The Mafia|a gangster]], a [[Psycho for Hire]], or just plain [[Ax Crazy]], life is pretty cheap in general, and it's not just the immortal characters who get maimed.

** Accordingly, {{spoiler|Isaac and Miria}} avert this, as during the entire anime {{spoiler|Isaac}} was only injured one or two times, and {{spoiler|Miria}} wasn't at all.

* ''[[Looking for Group]]'': A certain undead warlock has been [[Rasputinian Death|stabbed by twin blades, shot with many arrows, buried under hot lava, nailed to a mast, beheaded]], [[Too Kinky to Torture|stuck with hundreds of knives]] and is still [[No Sell|completely fine.]] In fact, {{spoiler|he isn't even undead}}.

* In ''[[Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire]]'', Buck pits the very dangerous Der Rock the Destroyer against 35 [[Hive Mind|PSmIths]], and doesn't bat an eye when Der Rock kills them all.

* In ''[[Starslip]]'', the Quels' policy for Cyte attacks to to let the Cyte kill as many as they want until they leave.

** Also, Protocol Officer Quine is essentially meant to be the face of the ''Paradigm'' wherever it goes, no matter how unhappy the locals are to see them, so his memory is constantly uploaded to the ship so that, in the event of his death, they can be downloaded into a clone so that he can get back to being an annoying busybody.
