Line 29:
* Keitaro from ''[[Love Hina]]'' is the king of this trope, surviving falls, [[Megaton Punch|insane punches]], being attacked by swords, and the largest injury he ever got was a broken leg. '''When a building fell on him'''. This is [[Lampshaded]] in the series when Keitaro is faced with imminent danger the girls of Hinata Sou will yell 'don't worry Keitaro, you're immortal!' to ease his fears.
* The Pandoras of ''[[Freezing]]''. While they are [[Super Soldier|Super Soldiers]] and that there is advanced medical practices in the future, the battles that they go through really make your eyes pop out.
* [[Joker Immunity|Team Rocket]] from the ''[[Pokémon]]'' anime. They fall into the gorge in the Butterfree episode, and survive every instance of "blasting off", and two falls which they themselves think will kill them (once in Haunter Versus Kadabra, and once in the second movie). The one that takes the cake is in ''Shell Shock'', when James is hit by a boulder and falls into the gorge WITH THE BOULDER ON TOP OF HIM. (The antagonist of [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Disney's first animated film]] is killed this way) Yet he turns up unharmed Team Rocket's next scene.
** It's not just the trio. In the first movie, Mewtwo blows up Viridian City Gym, which Giovanni survives, while all the scientists who created him are killed when Mewtwo blows up their lab in a similar explosion. In ''Pokemon Live'', he also survives Mecha Mew2's selfdestruct.
Line 53:
* The cast of ''[[Torchwood]]'' seem to get this a lot. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in that it's accepted by the characters that Torchwood agents are lucky if they live to see their first grey hair. Particuarly there's leader Jack, who is [[Immortality|immortal]]. You can make a case for whether he counts, since he ''doesn't'' usually survive, he just refuses to ''stay'' dead. His list of deaths to date include (but are in no way limited to): shot by a Dalek, thrown off a 100 foot building, being stuck on the outside of the TARDIS inside of the vortex, electrocuted, shot in the head, blown up via a bomb implanted in his stomach, encased in concrete, stabbed for days on end by Italians, poisoned... the list goes on.
** Also {{spoiler|Owen}}, who eventually ''does'' die. And comes back as [[The Undead|a sentient but not technically alive]], unhealing, never sleeping, never eating, incredibly grumpy corpse.
** Then there's Ianto. Survived the Dalek and Cybermen massacre of [[Doctor Who
* On [[Saving Grace]], Grace and Neely fall off a building and survive. Given the nature of the show, it's heavily implied that God did it.
* Two minutes into the first episode of ''[[Harry's Law]]'', a suicidal man jumps off of a six-story building and lands on Harriet. Both survive with minor injuries. Two minutes later, she distractedly crosses a street and gets hit by a car. She lands on a mattress being loaded into a moving van, and doesn't even break any bones. In both cases, it's completely unexpected, even interrupting her internal monologue. It's portrayed as serendipity, because both the suicidal man and the car driver end up joining her law firm by the end of the episode.
Line 102:
* ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'', especially in the earlier episodes, often experienced things that should've killed them like the tornado episode for instance.
* The Joker in the Batman series has survived falls and explosions, and seems immortal, hence the term [[Joker Immunity]]. {{spoiler|Ironically he is [[Killed Off for Real]] in the Batman Beyond movie}}
* In [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
