He knows he has PlotArmor--not just of the normal protagonist kind, but the extra strength of the knowledge that he appears in ''Manga/TenTheBlessedWayOfTheNiceGuy'' alive and well.

His laughter, then, isn't so much aimed at his opponents, but rather at the author, as if silently challenging him: "Well? How do you plan on getting me out of ''this'' mess?"
