Line 28:
** {{spoiler|Pain is actually a dead body controlled by the real Pain: Nagato.}} That still doesn't give reason for him being unscathed.
* 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]]s 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 71:
** Mass Effect 3 has the additional revelation that Shepard, along with being incinerated, battered and... well, ''dead'', was additionally {{spoiler|braindead as well. This leads to Shepard wondering if he/she's even still him/her, and not some AI that just thinks she is}}.
* [[Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven]], in a series of missions where you must kill the [[Big Bad]]'s little brother and right hand man, Sergio. Sergio goes on to survive four heavily planned assassination attempts through mostly dumb luck, and eventually Tommy just chases him down to his hideout and confronts him directly.
* Phoenix Wright, the original protagonist of the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' series. Aside from the near brushes with murder from Mafia hitmen, assassins, [[Amoral Attorney|Amoral Attorneys]]s, etc., he also survived {{spoiler|a hundred foot fall from a burning bridge into a fast-moving freezing river in the middle of winter}} with a bare fever and head cold. He was still hospitalized, but even that is pretty lucky.
* Dr. Eggman from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' always manages to survive catastrophic ship failures, including one ''in a pit of lava''. [[Convection, Schmonvection]] indeed.
* ''[[Syphon Filter]]'': Logan has survived falling 50 feet through a glass ceiling, swan diving off a cliff, and jumping from an exploding bridge onto a moving train, etc., things you couldn't conceivably survive in real life.
