About

Kuzan Is Much Faster And Can Freeze His Opponents is a catchphrase snowclone and copypasta meme that started on the /r/OnePiecePowerScaling subreddit on December 10th, 2024. The meme involves people insisting that Kuzan, one of the Ten Titanic Captains of the Blackbeard Pirates with ice powers, is more powerful than other One Piece characters. The meme spread to other power-scaling subreddits in December 2024, with people arguing that Kuzan or another character can win most battles simply by freezing his opponents.
