No, you dumb sack of shit. The Justice is actively pushing the druggie's chest beam back towards it, then moving back. The glow you see is the beam proper, not an "explosion". It would've been zero effort for Athrun to stab him with the beam saber that was already drawn.
Do I have to make a fucking WEBM now?

And what about this one?

I honestly don't know if that's better or worse than keeping the bullshit that they were actually dangerous foes, when they had a bunch of opportunities to kill them, but didn't. Because this nonsense is unacceptable.
The best course of action would've been to have actually dangerous foes that do present a challenge for Kira. For instance, what they did with Shinn in Destiny.
