Biodata

Appearance

Kizaru is regularly accompanied by golden light particles when activating his powers. He wears a Marine justice cape, which was left torn and bloodied after Luo Sa's Heavenly Punishment attack. 26 155

• Transforms into a streak or beam of golden light while moving. 26 77
• Can manifest a golden light sword and the Yata Mirror. 77 147
• His normally composed expression becomes notably grim when facing opponents or abilities that counter his speed. 78 154

Personality

Kizaru usually presents himself as carefree and mocking, often feigning alarm while making light of dangerous situations. This manner fades when an opponent proves capable of threatening him; against Luo Sa, he becomes calculating, serious, and openly intent on eliminating a dangerous enemy. 77 78 147

He recognizes exceptional talent even in enemies, acknowledging Luo Sa's speed, spatial movement, and growth in Observation Haki. Despite this, he remains ruthless when he has the advantage, toying with Luo Sa after believing him defeated. 147 148 149

• Uses perception to track high-speed opponents and react amid chaotic battles. 147 231

• The barrier prevented Luo Sa from using Instant Transmission to escape through it. 148
