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.
