I just watched the first few episodes of Code Lyoko, and I found it really strange that they decided to call these arrows "laser arrows". For reference, this is what they look like

I don't see why they decided to make an attack named laser arrow look like a literal arrowhead. It couldn't have been that hard to make it look like its namesake, right? Even using a laser that doesn't specifically look like an arrow would've made more sense, as then the "arrow" part of the name would be descriptive of the function of the weapon while "laser" describes the aesthetic.. According to the wiki, they did mess around with different colors for the projectiles but none of them fix the core issue of it not looking like a laser. It would be unfair for me not to mention that there is a brief flash of light that emits from the wielder's glove's during the attack, but all that does is remind me of how disjointed the attack's design is. It makes me wonder if they just had to follow the "adjective+weapon/move" formula you see in so many shōnen and shōnen inspired pieces of media (exempli gratia. special beam cannon). something like Blinding Arrow would've worked with the attack's animation so much more elegantly, and it would give the attack utility for other characters to work with.
