History MadeOfIron / AnimeAndManga

* {{Averted|Trope}}, and almost {{subverted|Trope}} in ''Manhwa/{{Veritas}}''. Through 14 issues, the main character has already suffered at least 5 broken arms, three broken legs and a concussion or two. Oddly, he seems to have done all of that on purpose.

* ''Manga/SpyXFamily'': Yor repeatedly shrugs off damage that would be lethal multiple times over to a normal person. She effectively {{NoSell}}s a cloud of poison gas and being struck with an electric baton, and while fighting a team of multiple assassins never gets more than annoyed by any hits they manage to get on her, with her only real injury from the fight being a sprained finger. She also takes a direct hit from a speeding car without any sign of injury whatsoever. In fact, the only injury she received in the first 60 or so chapters of the manga that actually had lasting effects was played strictly for comedy: she got ShotInTheAss during a job and couldn't sit down normally for a few days. And while suffering from that injury, an enemy agent attempts to kill her by giving her a full glass of blowfish poison, which does absolutely nothing except numbing the pain from the gunshot wound.

* ''Anime/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' sees Tohru take 30 shots of flaming acid when fighting Ilulu, as well as several good hits from her claws. This only merits an "Ow" from Tohru.

* Throughout ''Anime/SK8TheInfinity'' TheDreaded Adam is established as the greatest danger to any one skateboarder of the illegal skate park, S. While the protagonist Reki is, by episode 11, known for surviving injuries, within the episode, Adam, who's decided ItsPersonal between them, [[spoiler:puts him through an ordeal that ''would'' kill most people and should ''at least'' have left him at least partially incapitated, but he's so fully embraced the role of {{Determinator}} that he not only keeps skating, he eventually does the one thing no one else in the series managed to do at that point, even his so-far-assumed "chosen" friend with a HundredPercentAdorationRating -- leave Adam ''chasing after him.'' Oh, and this is after Adam decides after the initial ordeal that he will actually ''try'' to murder him.]]

* [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires]] in ''Manga/CallOfTheNight'' are vastly sturdier than humans, and have a HealingFactor on top of that; injuries that would cripple or even kill a human, such as [[AnArmAndALeg a severed limb]], a broken spine, [[NeckSnap a snapped neck]] or even [[TorsoWithAView a hole in their chest]] will only slow them down for a bit while they reattach the limb or heal the damage.

* In ''Anime/DeathNote'', Light is shot no less than FOUR times, and still has the strength to run to the next building.

* You wouldn't think so, but Impmon of ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' can take a lot of pain, surviving a very brutal CurbStompBattle and being ''thrown in lava''. This gets taken up to eleven when he digivolves into Beelzebumon--aside from taking two of [[KnightInShiningArmor Dukemon's]] strongest attacks and walking away a few minutes later, he gets [[spoiler:crucified by the D-Reaper, shot several times in the back, and thrown into a sea of deletion, all occuring within hours if not minutes of each other,]] and ''lives'', although the wounds are treated as very serious and he's unable to fight for the rest of the series.

** Chi-Chi is this, overlapping with IronButtMonkey. She's one of the few fighters in the series who doesn't utilize ki energy but, much like Yajirobe, has taken hits and attacks that would've killed or hospitalized the likes of Mr Satan or Videl. In ''Anime/DragonBallZLordSlug'', [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/powerlisting/images/9/96/Chi-Chi_explosion_no_sell_kick.gif/revision/latest?cb=20211014050024 she runs through a ki explosion]] fired by of Slug's soldiers no problem and later in the Buu Saga while training Goten [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/powerlisting/images/2/2a/Chi-Chi_kicked_by_Goten.gif/revision/latest?cb=20211207120752 she gets kicked and sent flying into a tree by Goten when he accidentally turns Super Saiyan]], but Chi-Chi recovers quickly and is more upset than hurt. ''Keep in mind'', grown men got KO-ed by SSJ Gohan's strikes and Frieza himself got beaten bloody by even Goku's casual lovetaps while he was Super Saiyan, making Chi-Chi's fortitude all the more impressive.

** Out of all the [[RoguesGallery villains]], Frieza displays this the most since unlike Cell and Buu who follow him, he lacks a HealingFactor. On Namek he takes several severe beatings from Gohan, Piccolo and eventually Goku (a fight which infamously lasted over an entire season) yet Frieza was only getting tired towards the very end of the saga and was still breathing even [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe when he got cut in half]] with his own [[DeadlyDisc Death Saucer]]. If that wasn't enough he survived getting blasted by Goku ''and then'' having the entire planet blowing up while he was still on it, leaving him drifting through space barely alive. It took Future Trunks [[TheresNoKillLikeOverKill slicing him into confetti and blasting the chunks to actually kill Frieza]].
** [[spoiler:In ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'', Frieza surpassed his previous experience, as he took a beating from an ''extremely enraged'' Super Saiyan Broly for one straight hour, as Goku and Vegeta used him as a distraction as they scooted off in order to learn Fusion, pretty impressive for him as even ''they'' were unable to handle the fury of Broly for more than a few minutes. In end of his well-deserved beatdown, it's still thanks to his resilience he ended up smarting his wounds in the end, rather than being a smear on the rocks.]]
** Cooler, Frieza's brother was even harder to kill as he survives [[HurlItIntoTheSun getting blasted into the sun by Goku]] and was "alive enough" to be absorbed by the [[MechanicalAbomination Big Gete Star]] and rebuild his body. In ''[[Anime/DragonBallZTheReturnOfCooler The Return of Cooler]]'' Goku and Vegeta have to destroy the chunk of Cooler left remaining [[KilledOffForReal to put him down for good]].

* ''Manga/ElfenLied'' usually doesn't qualify for this trope, but does in Bandou and Nana's cases.

** Quilge Opie just ''[[{{Determinator}} won't go down]]'', not even after being [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown pummeled]] and having his [[NeckSnap neck snapped]] by [[TheBerserker Ayon]] (he just casually pops it back into place) and a massive hole shot in his chest by Urahara (he uses [[PeoplePuppets Ransoutengai]] to keep fighting). It takes [[spoiler:[[TheBusCameBack Grimmjow]]]] slicing him in half before he finally takes a hint and dies.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Sado was born with power that was locked away inside his soul, completely inaccessible until forcibly awakened early in the manga. Prior to its activation, which granted him supernatural strength and toughness, he was a normal, powerless human. Even then, he could lift things others couldn't and shrug off falling steel girders without injury. He was even hit by a motocycle and had to carry the motorcyclist to the hospital. He was barely injured.

* ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' can easily survive falling off a building or getting hit by cars with minimal injury. Perhaps the most extreme case is when he was shot three times rescuing someone from being kidnapped (and before that ran his scouter into their car when it suddenly stopped), but managed to ''walk'' all the way back to school and spend an hour taking an exam before he passed out from blood loss and went into a coma which he got out of in ''days''.

* Gladion was still able to stand after being blasted away by Sun's Z-Move, and later jumped off a 2 story house without even a scratch. But later got seriously injured after being exposed to the energy from Silvally's evolution, which took over 6 months for him to recover. Later, his right arm got burned by one of Turtonator's spikes. But he survived all of this, and was able to free Moon as well as battle Ryuki without his injuries slowing him down.
