I'm going to need some source for this
- Jet fuel can't melt Durian beams
  
  Ablative heat shield. Someone call NASA
  
  While impressive, especially realizing that video is sped up 3.5x, steel will fare that test better
  
  Thank god the terminids haven’t figured this out.
  
  Yeah that shit looks pretty fuckin burnt there bud
Not really that surprising, a lot of natural materials have really good insulating qualities. Considering that it's mostly cellulose and water, I wouldn't really really think it would be flammable unless dried out.
Any organic material will combust at 3300C given enough time
- Yes. The OP posted the video, it's clearly an ablative protection.
Ughhh imagine living in a house made of Durian!?!?
- under the sea
  
  Are you ready?!?!?
It is called "King of the Fruits" not for nothing, you know.
- king of stank. hyrk.
  
  The Conqueror Haki that makes the weak faint.
le leidenfrost effect
- woah that's so cool, so the expanding steam is making a barrier across the surface of the skin!?!?
  if you shot a durian at the sun, how close could it get before burning up?
  would it form a tiny atmosphere with microscopic weather patterns and have a comets tail of steam?
  
  While there's definitely a distance at which you could teleport a durian at which it would form a cute micro-comet, it would be practically invisible. Comets are huge things, 100s of meters to kilometers across. The only way you'd be able to appreciate the durian micro-comet would be if you were right next to it. Conveniently, you'd also be able to appreciate the "you" micro-comet you'd form.
  
  for all of 0.0000004 seconds
