it was in Nika mode that has increased durability (he took ACOC hit to the back of the head for fun) and it did made him scream from the burn
on top of it was one finger laser beam not even aimed at luffy...
it did nothing
kizaru threw multiple laser beams at luffy and he dodged every single one of them in snakeman , thats how much they amount to
he threw 1 at vegapunk and luffy ate it , then he tried to hit luffy's head which did nothing
this attack only works on fodders , many strong characters know how to counter laser beams and the best option is to simply dodge them
kizaru's best asset is his light sword , not these shitty pew pew beams
Cuz it's well known all laser beams are the same level of potency huh...
nothing suggests otherwise , laser beams are ALWAYS treated the same
that's why in Kizaru introduction he was told he was overdoing it after vaporizing a whole section of a mangrove by accident then only used low level stuff during the rest of sabaody, cuz all lasers in this series are equal in Oda's mind... even IRL lasers vary significantly in term of power output..
Big Mom was wary of Franky radical beam, Zoro associates unblockable attacks with laser beams and Sanji blocking Kizaru laser aimed at Bonney was treated as a big deal but they are all fodder control cuz low level one figer laser beam that even pacifista can replicate are not one shot ..
and did a laser beam ever ... EVER beat anyone relevant ?
it doesnt matter how much output kizaru puts , his beams are the equivalent of ki blasts in dbz
one would say Mihawk flying slashes are fodder based on the fact Luffy tanked one and Mr.1 blocked one...
sword slashes get dodged all the time so its irrelevant to wank them as something super significant in combat
but atleast u still have these slashes being troublesome for actual strong characters
