But going by your phrasing and how most people would probably think about it, the best reason I think people would come up with his him just being oh so strong, and I would hate that.

I can't think of anything that we know about his power (and to be fair he could reveal more about it but I don't see how it could relate to something like this) as of yet which would justify her not being able to force his soul out of his body if she could actually touch him. Yes, it's been indicate to be very unique, but should not be, in my opinion, as blanket excuse for anything bad not working on him. That's just bad writing in my mind.

It would just seem like poor excuse to say another reason he's special; he's plenty special enough as it is, I really see no reason for it to even come up. To bring up something from Naruto, he'd a step in making Escanor as bad as Madara Uchiha. Another question then, if this did happened and he explained it in the same chapter what would you say to that? Let's say the explanation is not an "I'm just too strong for you" or "my soul is much too strong", but, more like "only those chosen to wield sunshine are capable of withstanding it's burning effect", implying that if he were not chosen Escanor would also die. In that regard it could also be said that his soul cannot be eaten, but, perhaps it can be taken from his body? I would say it would be poor writing as well, if Escanor was not affected by this magic or that the reason behind him resisting it or getting out of it would be JUST because he is too strong. We have seen that his ability makes all the difference so i would imagine the fact that it is unique may come with a few rules... or perhaps conditions. I would assume that Escanor's power chose him and that he did not acquire it because of someone giveing it to him or unlocking it himself. In hindsight, if he were to be "chosen" by sunshine, would it make sense for only his body to be able to withstand it? I know i'm picking at things that are unlikely to happen, but, i just think that a better excuse for him defeating that magic is necessary than "he is too strong". I think we both agree that we need more of an explanation as to how he could defeat that, because otherwise i may just call BS. It's still poor reasoning. When it comes down to it saying "You can't steal my soul because you can't withstand sunshine" is the same thing as "I'm too strong" it's just a power that as far as we've seen doest take how strong the user is or what their own powers are arbirtrarily doing so for Escanor... just because. Like I've already said, his power being acknowledged as unique doesn't mean I'm going to give it a pass on things not making sense.

Is there a particular reason you want this to happen? I'm still not even seeing what it even has to come up (here at least).

Edit: Well, so  I was wrong about her not trying and apparently it didn't work really just because his soul is that powerful. And I still think that's a terrible way of doing things. If things keep up this way I'm going to hate Escanor. I was already being more forgiving of him than some other people I discuss this with but that was just terrible.

On the bright side, we're moving on to Diane now so that's cool. And King joins up with them.
