Magic Resistance
A biological shield against the lethal magic of the Hole.
Magic Resistance is a rare physiological trait found within the Dorohedoro universe that allows an individual to withstand or nullify magical spells cast by sorcerers. The source states that Caiman has "immunity to magic." This trait makes him incredibly skilled at battling sorcerers, as magic that would harm or kill ordinary humans fails against him. The anomaly makes him a target of interest for powerful sorcerers like En, who believes Caiman is tied to the Cross-Eyes Gang.
