Am I the only one who likes the S12 because of their designs, personalities, abilities and moments overall?
Besides, why people don't count hax abilities? Thats also part of their abilities, not to count them, doesn't make sense
Imo the S12 are still among the top fighters and even if not, they are still the best enemy group in the FT verse.
I suppose not. Lots of dudes like them.
Personally, can't imagine those guys being anyone's favs, those trashcans defined the worst arc of the main series.

Why should i remove their main tool?Thats the same shit with people talking in OP about "take that and that away".
Because it's lazy, doesn't require any thought and works/fails based on plot.
I legitimately cannot see why I am supposed to consider these characters as impressive. They are supposed to be "super strong", but their actual fighting ability aside from the hax is sad.
How is it different from Sayla, Kyouka, Sigario sisters or youko? Situationally, they one shot Spriggans as well. It just depends on who hax who first.
"Hey, I stopped time, now you can do nothing, hahaa"
Very fun ability.
Characters with these kind of power wouldn't work in a video game for example. Because it breaks the game. That game would instantly fail.
The series actually used to be fun back when characters didn't run around with hax. Which meant, there could be actual fights, choreography, abilities and counter abilities......actual magic and combat. There is a reason x784 FT is peak FT.

Lets consider another example.
Big Mom!
Has super hax that can neg most characters - you are afraid or wavering, and her ability straight up one shots you while taking away your lifespan.
Now imagine how sad it would be if Big Mom was some fodder who had this hax. You overcome her hax and one shot her. Are you having fun here??
But Oda is a more competent author than post GMG Mashima, so he didn't pull some dogshit like that. Big Mom is actually very strong even aside from her hax. And her hax is hax done right, there are legitimate counters to her ability
With Dimaria on the other hand, either you get negged (Kagura). Or you can move in her time and neg her if you are a competent fighter (i.e Natsu).
Dimaria is basically a slightly more impressive Sugar or Perona.
Would you rate Perona high?
On paper, she one shots everyone bar exceptions like Ussop pre haki.
