In a couple debates lately I've run into people with conflicting opinions as to the exact definition of Type 2 Immortality.
Resilient Immortality: Characters with this degree of immortality can survive injuries that would otherwise be lethal to a normal person, without needing to heal from it.
This confusion is perhaps inevitable, given the fairly broad definition given here, one that allows someone to argue that a character who survives a lethal injury longer than an ordinary person could, but still dies, qualifies for it.
I'm sure there are quite a few pages that I don't know of that list characters with Type 2 Immortality for temporarily surviving a lethal injury, but those I do know of include some Madness Combat characters. On the other side, there are those who have temporarily survived these things that don't have it, such as SCP-076, Kirei, and probably every, or just the majority of Servants with Battle Continuation.
While I think that only those who can indefinitely survive a lethal injury (such as Hida or Voldemort, barring certain circumstances) should have it, multiple people have disagreed with me on the subject, and I thought it'd be best to make a thread about it.
Note that Type 2 Immortality can certainly be circumvented by extreme destruction such as disintegration in the case of the earlier mentioned Hidan. My issue is with applying Type 2 Immortality to characters who can be killed (even if it takes a while) by a comparatively ordinary injury, such as a simple headshot or having their heart destroyed.
In the event that the broader and more forgiving Type 2 definition is accepted, pages that are affected should specify that they can only survive these injuries temporarily.
