Ki Manipulation (Aura)
The album does not prove social influencing and is incredibly misleading
First scan: It may look like Raditz is "passively inducing fear and paralysis" but that's not what's happening. Piccolo senses his Ki and is scared, but not paralyzed. Piccolo only becomes paralyzed with fear after Raditz tanks his energy attack. Piccolo ***** his pants because Raditz is powerful and this has nothing to do with social influencing nor is it "passively inducing fear and a sensation of being paralyzed to opponents sensing their presence", just Piccolo being afraid of someone stronger than him. If Piccolo launched a ki attack at any character and they tanked it to the same degree, he'd be immobilized from the fear too. Moral of the story? Don't leave out pages and cherry pick scans
Second scan: Krillin is a coward
Third scan: Krillin is a coward
Fourth scan: Piccolo believing that Frieza and Goku's power alone can crush him is very obviously not something that proves ki gives a "sensation of being crushed". Piccolo is simply afraid of their great power and believes it is enough to beat him him. "Power" is not the same as aura and "crush" is another term for easily defeating someone
Fifth scan: Yamcha being afraid of people more powerful than him and not wanting to get closer has more to do with Yamcha being cautious and less "social influencing"
The last scan shows Piccolo being afraid after sensing someone else's ki, but the same applies, scaring someone who is afraid of massive power levels is not social influencing. If anything, it would be a weakness for Piccolo

Why is this ability worded like its a form of paralysis and fear manipulation? Its exaggerating what happens in the scan and making it seem more powerful than it should beKi users can passively induce fear and insecurity into opponents that can sense their presence through the power of their auras, bigger when the user has malicious ki, forcing an sensation of being crushed and paralyzed
