Meta Rules
Meta #33 Cards on the Permanent Record are returned to the opponent once the Character is K.O.'d. Cards in the Current Battle remain. Other Special cards may be played to remove these hits after the Character is K.O.'d (provided that they are still legally playable) but this does not alter the K.O.'d Character's status.

Meta #47 When a Special refers to a "Hit" (be it on Permanent Record or Hits from Current Battle) it is referring to a single card, not the sum total of the points of Cumulative damage.

Meta #103 If a Special calls for some type of discard to occur (and no secondary effect), then the targeted Character must fulfill at least one of the conditions specified by the Special (e.g., "Remove 1 Hit" can only be played on a Character who has a hit; "Discard a placed card and remove 1 hit" can be played on someone who has a hit, or someone who has a placed card, or someone who has both). If the specification is not known or the Special has a secondary effect which would come into play (e.g., "Discard one {type} card from hand") then the Special may be played regardless.
