That's actually one of the things I was quite annoyed with in terms of Manga realism. I mean, I get that it's fiction and it doesn't work anywhere like real like, but it's one thing to accept Ash surviving Pikachu's thunderbolt. But it's another when Enel keeps announcing the ridiculous voltages he's blasting at his targets, and none of them dies. Totally takes the threat away.
