  (#12) Ryo Marufuji Survived Being Electrocuted During A Cage Match In 'Yu-Gi-Oh! GX' 

  How many times can you get electrocuted before you stop being alive anymore? This is a question that Yu-Gi-Oh! GX steadfastly refuses to answer. There is no way that an ordinary human being with no magical powers could survive being shocked every time he loses a card game in an illegal underground cage match, but that's exactly what happens to Ryo Marufuji, known as Zane in the dub. Even more confusing is the fact that when he develops a heart condition that leaves him hospitalized, the show refuses to attribute this to his repeated electrocutions. Instead, it's because he used the Cyberdark Deck, which gave him an "evil" personality.

  Oh, and then there's the fact that at one point during the series, he was presumed dead after a duel, but washed up on the beach for seemingly no reason in Season Four. Because continuity doesn't matter in Yu-Gi-Oh!

  (#4) Hyakkimaru's Father Traded His Body Parts To Demons In 'Dororo'

  Before Hyakkimaru was born, his father bartered away his organs, limbs, skin, eyes, and other body parts away to a group of demons in exchange for power for himself and prosperity for his village. As a result, he was born alive - but without most of the things that are required for survival. His father orders him to be destroyed, but the old woman put in charge of this abandons him instead. Instead of passing away within hours as one might expect, Hyakkimaru grows up to become a fierce warrior with multiple prosthetic parts, whose goal is to track down all the demons holding his body hostage and defeat them. How he survived to that point is an open question.

  (#9) Chise Hatori Survived Two Curses In 'The Ancient Magus' Bride'

  Chise Hatori has been through a truly exceptional level of hardship. Thanks to her status as a sleigh beggy - a person with high levels of magical prowess whose body is severely weakened because it can't actually process that magic. Not only that, but she's constantly attracting magical creatures, some of them malevolent, and being attacked by them. Because of the stress caused by her status, her mother once attempted to take her life - and she came close to taking her own before being purchased by Elias Ainsworth, a mage who promises to teach her to use her magic more effectively.

  But the onslaughts from dangerous creatures continues, and at one point Chise ends up taking on a dragon's curse that destroys her arm and will take her life unless it's broken. How does she resolve it? By taking on yet another curse, this one from an enemy who has repeatedly tried to destroy her, that will grant her immortality. The fact that Chise has survived for more than five minutes is, frankly, astounding.

  (#1) Shota Aizawa Got Wrecked By A Nomu In 'My Hero Academia'

  While defending his students from an attack by the League of Villains, Shouta Aizawa gets caught by a Nomu. This giant monster not only crushes his entire arm and wrenches it behind his back, he also slams him face first into a concrete floor, smashing the concrete itself to bits. 

  Unlike some characters, Aizawa doesn't possess super strength or exceptional defensive capabilities. He is no stronger than an average 30-year-old man who regularly works out. He does have access to Recovery Girl's healing quirk, but the fact that he survived long enough to get to her is unbelievable.

  (#5) Shishio Makoto

  When you're a truly awesome villain, you're not phased by little things like the normal physical limitations of having a human body. Makoto Shishio was doused in oil and then set on fire, an event that left him injured but still, incredibly, alive. This isn't the only grievous injury he's survived, however. Shishio has also survived being shot in the head, having his head cleaved in half, and more. All of this suffering has only made him more dangerous, and more bloodthirsty.

  (#8) Pell Appeared To Sacrifice His Life In 'One Piece' 

  In the world of One Piece, characters often survive the unsurvivable. There are so many examples that you could probably have a whole list dedicated solely to One Piece alone, but for now let's focus on Pell, a Royal Soldier of Alabasta. In order to save Alabasta from destruction, Pell grabs a gigantic bomb in his talons and flies so far into the stratosphere that the city is unharmed by the explosion. The same presumably can't be said for Pell himself - everyone who sees him assumes that he heroically sacrificed his life. 

  But somehow, Pell survives the blast, and returns to Alabasta to bear witness to his own grave.
