* The premise of ''Manga/{{Ajin}}'' is that a new variant of humans known as "ajin"[[note]]or "Demi-human" in the official translation[[/note]] have emerged who are subject to instantaneous ResurrectiveImmortality upon death. The series really goes all-out with exploring the limits of the ajins' abilities, highlighting how they're able to approach situations entirely differently than normal humans can. For ajin, death is a non-threatening and at times even ''favorable'' outcome since dying merely resets them to their original physical state. Feats that would be impossible for a normal human, such as swimming through miles of an underwater drainage pipe, are possible for an ajin as drowning to death will just reset them back to their original physical state, although it doesn't remove the unpleasant experience of drowning. The biggest threat that ajin characters face in the series isn't ''death'', but rather being knocked unconscious and then physically restrained, as that's the one way they can truly be incapacitated.
