Lucem
Ten Thousand Club
Characters coming back from the dead/ surviving normally fatal situations, especially when it's later written off with a weak excuse or as mystical mumbo jumbo. It's a cheap ploy used to build fake tension, and the more a series does it, the less valid/ meaningless the stakes are whenever the cast is thrust into danger.
I usually lose interest in a series that does this. I often see this trope tied in with the "power of friendship", which contributes to the lack of tension.
Any watched Koutetsujou no Kabaneri yet by the by?
I plan to start it by the end of the month. From what I've heard, it's Attack on Titan with trains, so I might enjoy it. Is it any good?
