I've seen lasers have those bulky ends to them, but only when they come into contact with something that does have substantial mass- substantial enough to stop it, so not air or anything like that. It does make a sort of circumference at the end of the laser when it makes contact with an object that has mass, which is the most damning evidence here because Araki deliberately drew it that way. I'm not saying he knew the physics of it, but that's how it's presented to us in the manga. As for your take on it, let me ask you something: Do you think it's possible that Kars, being a hyper advanced super lifeform with borderline ESP and an IQ measured in hundreds, sort of... perceives things quicker than a normal lifeform would? I'm not talking about reaction speed, not really, but imagine that something too fast for him to react to passes by him, for all intents and purposes it should be FTE to someone like him, but because he's got such uncanny senses he is AWARE that it passed but simply couldn't react to it? I hope I'm getting the point across satisfactorily since I'm way sleep deprived.
