What character is the king of plot armor?

Frank Gallagher
I love Akira but Kaneda has serious plot armor. He gets shot at by soldiers with automatic weapons countless times and survives. That and the collapsing buildings, psychics, and other hazards he just shrugs off. Meanwhile, Chiyoko gets stabbed by some random scumbag.
Jesus. no wine? miracle. dead friend? raise em up. not enough food? miracle some up. get crucified? rise from the dead.
the whole letting himself get captured plot was so out of left field.
Don't forget the cringy cult like fanbase.
And the wild fanfic.
Probably the protagonist of “My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me!” He can kill anyone with a thought. You can't kill him because he eliminated the possibility of killing him.
Daniel Jackson
He may die a fair bit, but he won't stay dead for long.
When he gets his funeral card punched 10 times his next one is free.
Kenny from South Park?
Wolverine, who completely regenerated from a single drop of blood.
Does that, uh, mean that every time he bleeds he clones himself?
Not just blood...
Why you think he's so grumpy all the time? He can't risk a single drop of semen becoming an army of wolverines.
Truly a #nofap for the sake of humanity
King (one punch man)
Spartan 117 from Halo. It's pretty explicitly said that he has luck on his side. Hypothetically, he's quantum immortal (we might all be actually) and the checkpoint system in the games is based around this immortality.
Reiner Braun
Gandalf
James Bond.
The Doctor (Doctor Who) and maybe a couple of his nemeses from his home world. Sure, he dies every few years, but regeneration into a new body is literally written into the lore. But then occasionally the Doctor is literally female, so at that point I assume she's the queen of plot armour instead.
Bink from the Xanth novels. He is a magician who jahcndustbdrmicyd vjsybfkauchd auchwnzkhfmaicybfkaubd w

He has a magical ability that prevents him from suffering harm by conjuring impossible coincidences. It also prevents anyone from being told about the nature of the ability or discovering it via magical means.
Also, I am pretty sure he becomes the King of Xanth in one of the later books.
BJ Blazkowicz literally got his head chopped off and survived.
Mr Bean
Thread over. The only three correct answers are Mr Bean, Mr Magoo, and Inspector Gadget.
All other answers are wrong.
Road Runner. Pretty sure it was literally one of the rules the writers had for the show.
Road Runner ran so the rest of us could relate to Coyote:
Rick Sanchez.
He's supposed to be the smartest person in the universe. The rub is that the writers aren't as smart as they want him to be, so that leads to them writing his enemies to be dumber than how smart they can write him, to preserve his in-universe superior intelligence.
He can make anything out of anything. He has cybernetic implants that can do anything the plot needs.
I actually like the show (a social crime in 2026) but being an overpowered, plot armored, walking deus ex machina is his gimmick.
Isn't that part of the plot though? He's super depressed and part of it is because everyone else is so goddamn stupid
Yes, but my point is that his hyper-intelligence is to a point something we just have to believe in since he is being written by people who aren't hyper-intelligent themselves.
Its also a plot point in (after the recast) that he did this to himself. Evil Morty's goal was to escape the cluster of multi-verses that Rick curated where he was the smartest person in that universe. I like the newer plot driven episodes, but writing this im noticing that while I like the show as its airing, I have never really rewatched it...

One Punch Man.
It's his entire schtick.
OPM is what you get when somebody asks themselves, what would the story be for someone that is completely, totally, absolutely, and indefatigably invincible in every regard?
In my defense, I have not seen the third season yet.
I don't think that's plot armor. It is just character design. They don't keep him alive for plot reasons, the whole plot is that he is not defeated, ever.
I feel like King fits more. OPM is depressed Superman, but King is literally taking all the credit and get out of deadly situations alive by being at the right place at the right time

The Winchester brothers. They gave up even pretending as the show went on and just embraced the absurdity.
