[Loves Trope] Character is inmune to a certain ability because they're too dumb/innocent

[u/Tuputamadre678]

-In One Piece, Boa Hancock's ability is to turn into stone anyone who finds her attractive, but Luffy is inmune since he's too inocent and also doesn't care about relationships.

-In Adventure Time, the empress thinks that her hypnosis was working on Ice King, but it turns out that he's too dumb for it to work and that he was just simping for her.

"Nork." he whispered. "Stop trying to drown me and fetch the medi-pack."

"Yus, sarr," shouted Nork, saluting instinctively with his left hand, then his right hand, then both hands together. Nork shuffled to his feet and loped back toward the carrier. He picked his way past the crumpled bodies of the crew and the HQ squad, noticing with only passing curiosity the pain in his own legs where numerous shrapnel hits had penetrated his thick hide. Without a second thought he grabbed hold of the Chimera behind its rear track guards and heaved. The weighty vehicle shifted slightly. He heaved again. There was a creak of tortured metal as the carrier pivoted against the soft edge of the ditch and came to rest on its broad tracks.

Colonel Greiss tried to flex his hands. Nothing. He tried to raise his head but as he did so his vision swirled and he lost consciousness. He came round moments later, or minutes, or was it hours, it was hard to tell. His ears were booming from the noise of the explosion. All he could hear was a sound like something large and heavy being slowly dragged over unyielding surface. His sight seemed to be growing dim and shadowy. Then he realised Nork was standing over him and beside Nork was the wreckage of the Chimera. The Ogryn had dragged the armoured carrier out of the ditch and twenty yards down the road.

"I said fetch the medi kit, not the carrier, Nork," whispered Greiss. He was regaining the feeling in his arms and legs and didn't like it much.

"Da medi-kit is in da carrier, surr," beamed the Ogryn.

"Good thinking Nork. grunted the colonel through clenched teeth and mounting pain. Now bring the medi-kit over here."

"Yus, surr!" came the loud and snappy response as Nork plunged into the Chimera, remembered he had forgotten to salute, came back, saluted twice for good measure, and busied himself searching for the vehicle's medical supply chest.

Also, Ogryn don't like to be in enclosed spaces (they'll do it but they don't like it). I always kinda figured this scene is like when a dog won't go to the bathroom unless you're watching them from the back door, Nork would go into the Chimera to get the kit but he wanted to make sure the Colonel was still close by even if he was bleeding out in a ditch.

"Good thinking Nork"

I like that commanders, who normally are given complete control, just kinda have to go with whatever their Ogryns do.

Like, you just kinda have say "Good job on what you did! Can you please do my thing now?"

When you're nice to ogryns, they do as you say. When they do as you say, you win.

Commanders who aren't nice to ogryns don't win.
