Not just a specific scene, or episode, but characters repeatedly surviving when they shouldn't.

Currently watching Touhai: Ura Rate Mahjong Touhai Roku, which is about an absurd number of people getting murdered over a board game. I lost count. Almost no one is safe, but...

Episode 23-24Episode 23 ends with the main character himself gettin hanged, which is apparently all just part of his own plan somehow.

Episode 24, they explain that hanging is not instantly fatal, and if his substitute can win the next hand within five minutes (we're operating on Frieza time scales here apparently, since this takes the whole episode), they'll be allowed to get him down. They then have to negotiate with the villain for a defibrillator in exchange for sparing the villain's life.

Waiting for episode 25 to drop to find out if this plan actually works, but, like, ain't no way, right?
