I find the term "plot armor"... very problematic.

Plot armor means that a character can't die until he/she served his/her purpose. But we never know when exactly that truely happens (most people also assumed that Noro has "plot armor").

Only the author knows when a character isn't needed anymore, after all. And a character can serve a certain purpose even after death. And often, they even fufil their duty in death.

Of course, some series demand their character to have a plot armor (Like One Piece or Naruto), but in TG, I think that doesn't really exist (except of a few, obvious exceptions, and I think Touka is none of them).

But maybe I'm just nitpicking here...? It's all terminology, after all. Asking whether a character has "plot armor" is the same as asking whether we think he/she will die in the neaer future or not.
