Wun Wun emerges from the battle impaled by numerous arrow wounds, but valiantly follows Jon and Tormund as they track down a retreating Ramsay. (Special)

I definitely think so. I think the argument against this was that we didn't see the arrows go in, but we saw the arrows "loosed" and then saw him full of arrows.

I think, for instance, in the season where Joffrey kills Roz, it shows her full of arrows right after he is done shooting her, and he has the crossbow. Just because we don't specifically see it doesn't mean it wouldn't count as him killing her. Same logic applies, you see the weapon, you see the injury, just because you don't see the exact second of arrow penetration doesn't mean it shouldn't logically count. -taylorreneegoodrich

The criteria for each category is a little different, so I wouldn't automatically use the Kills rules for Wun Wun's special. A character with an empty glass for example, never gets an implied drink score.

I suppose this is moot now that Wun Wun's gone, but I would think about how you would want to reward Wun Wun's scenes. He's a big target, so him getting hit by arrows in a battle is inevitable. The S6E2 scene where he gets hit by the crossbow, shrugs it off, and completely wastes the guy who shot him is sort of the prototypical scene for this special - should the off-screen arrow hits be rewarded the same way?

Also I've been doing a Wun Wun-only rewatch of the battle scenes, and there is actually one other spear jab that I found towards the end of the encirclement. He actually screams in pain from that one, so perhaps it isn't automatic that "Wun Wun has arrows in him" => "he shrugged them off". -nyan

I mean, if I was that full of arrows I wouldn't still be going full tilt towards the gates of Winterfell. Just because we didn't see them go in doesn't mean none of them should count, especially when he is still being completely bad ass with them in. I would say that is the equivalent of shrugging off an injury, he definitely keeps playing through the pain. -taylorreneegoodrich

I'd say, since we did see the Wun Wun with the arrows in him, and this _is_ his special, at least some of them should count. I think though that's it's also fair to say that by the time he had breached the gate of Winterfell, that they were taking a toll, so were no longer being 'shrugged off'. -dopeghoti
