Ishui, you're seeing Amons last stand like this is a Shonen. His return was hyped up by us, the fans. He was a failure. The most bullshit reason about Amon in :re is that he is a functionable being. He was a failed experiment. He should be no more than a zombie. He even said himself how he's not very capable as a Ghoul, so this was to be expected. In a Seinen, anything can happen, including orthodox story-telling that would normally be seen as "bad".

Also, why is Akira's survival such "bullshit"? We've seen humans take worse and it wasn't called bs. She was stabbed 7 times in presumably non-lethal areas, and they didn't even go all the way through.

I totally get where your coming from with the "being right" thing, but I'm an imposer of logic, not an imposer of my own beliefs.

Samthe, just no. Thats a pitiful excuse bud, no offense. She doesn't have the capacity to conjure up an idea like that with that tension going on. She was too caught up emotionally, not to mention, it was never clarified that she is capable enough to manipulate her Kagune's shape. We've only ever seen the one form of it. Not to mention, Hsaio should've been able to smell him. Amon was already pinned under her Kagune unable to move. Anymore force would be painful, and she literally squashed him.

I'm just saying, it seems his purpose as a man who should've already been dead in this story was to protect from the shadows and pass his torch, which he seemingly did to Saiko. He can't get better, and he's only about an S-rate (unless you consider his Kakuja that he can't manipulate or control). Not to mention, A major reason that people don't want to accept his death is because he has loose ends to tie up. In Shonen, characters don't die unless theres nothing else for their character to accomplish in the story. In Seinen, its free game. I'm not saying Ishida is incapable of abiding by this Shonen Trope, but to do so would actually be missing an opportunity to tell a story uniquely.
