Let\\\'s discuss this one.

Edit by Wyldchyld, explanation:

\\\"Given that characters who can be hurt are not eligible for this trope, Naraku is not an example of this trope either. Like Sesshoumaru, he banks on avoiding being hit, but when he does get hit, he gets hurt even if he can ignore it. Either both characters are this trope or neither are. \\\"

Removed this:

* \\\'\\\'InuYasha\\\'\\\' features a constant arms race between the heroes\\\' attacks and their enemies\\\' different levels of invulnerability, generally involving either impossibly tough shells/magic shields, or infinite regeneration. This applies especially to the BigBad, Naraku, who goes through almost every form of NighInvulnerability. He is initially just a HiveMind of demon parts that could stay alive (if crippled) with only his head left. After getting his first new body, he could selectively destroy and replace the parts to get stronger, and was a Regenerator that survived being ripped into many pieces only healing slower each time, as well as having a barrier that could keep most people out. \\\'\\\'Then\\\'\\\' he made a sentient SoulJar that moved him from Regenerator to being practically Made of Air without ever being affected by the wounds, in addition to having an even stronger shield that hardly anything could get through. \\\'\\\'\\\'Then\\\'\\\'\\\' he reabsorbs his SoulJar to lose the Made of Air quality (going back down to regenerator) in exchange for taking its henchman\\\'s traits of being Made of Diamond (actual diamond and the even harder scales of a giant tortoise yokai). By the time they actually get around to killing Naraku, it takes the combined power of [[spoiler: a weapon that can kill otherwise invulnerable things belonging to the next world rather than this one, another weapon that can cause huge and indefinitely spreading destruction with just one swing, and a third that shoots crescent-shaped holes to hell to cut absolutely anything, including things that can\\\'t be sent to hell. And a couple of other powerful evil-destroying attacks on the side.]]

I gave it as my reasoning that Sesshoumaru just usually doesn\\\'t get hit or something like that when removing him as an example. Let me elaborate on that: Naraku has all these defences mentioned here. The only defensive ability Sesshoumaru has (once being hit) is the ability not to be killed by damage as easily as a human and fast (not instantaneous) healing. Naraku has all these \\\"made of air\\\" and \\\"made of diamond\\\" kind of things; they can be overcome but only by various super weapons.

I think there\\\'s a difference there, right?
