You could say that Xena's way of doing it doesn't allow Resistance Rolls but this is literally a Power you can not build in Gurps. Even the +300% "Irresistible effect" Enhancement will not do away with Resistance Rolls.

You can probably take it in such a way that none of her targets in the series are at all likely to resist before passing out and dying of lack of breath unless she releases them, as opposed to having an even chance to 'break out' in a few seconds.
