Yes, it looks like his mother cut his hair for him. Yes, it looks like he really has to go whenever he runs. However, you best not mock the fourth Hero in the colorful and happy world of Suikoden for Lazlo holds in his hand the Rune of Punishment, one of those silly True Runes capable of smashing anything in its path, may it be crabs, ships, or overgrown trees raised by maniacal bakers.

And his rune is no less potent in the DL, especially since the power of the 108 Stars has stopped it from beating him up each time he uses it. With ID, damage, and even more damage, few PCs could last long before his Punishing might, and even bosses eventually crumble before the magical artillery attached to his hand.
