- How could a grown man give someone a Tap on the Head with a hammer hard enough to splatter blood all over the person next to her, then apparently throw himself into a furnace, and not only fail to kill either her or himself, but not even seriously injure her either?
- Not to mention both Punpun and Aiko fall down huge flights of stairs, Punpun's mom Takes a fall from a third-floor balcony, Aiko gets hit by a beam at the miso factory, and most of the main cast suvives an explosion unscratched. Is everyone in this series Made of Iron?
- For the first one, I think it has something to do with the Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane, after all Word of God states that the one who commited the act indeed had powers.
- As for the second one, kids are surprisingly tough, but I still think it's Plot Armor.
- A way of looking at all of this is that Oyasumi Punpun is more like a (more) fictionalized retelling of Punpun's life and, as per fictionalized retellings, there's some artistic liberties. I mean, the events themselves happened, of course, but they didn't happen exactly like how the manga shows 'em.
