Kenbunshoku Haki: Low tier addition

Simple and straightforward thread.


Kenbunshoku Haki ability additions.


The lower to mid tiers of Kenbunshoku Haki users should have Analytical Prediction rather than precognition, as that's confirmed to be exclusive for Advanced Kenbunshoku. The difference being that those with low to mid end usage of the ability can only "predict." the future in a method of 3 different way.


Number one: Mind reading. It's common knowledge that Kenbunshoku Haki users all have the ability to read the "voice." of others, or in other words the mind. They can use this to predict oncoming attacks based on what they read from the minds of others. This is not precognition but rather Analytical Prediction as they are not peering into the future to see events play out accurately. We can see this by Luffy turning off his mind, thus Enel can't anticipate his attacks.



Number two: Intent sensing. Similar levels of Kenbunshoku Haki offer another form of Analytical Prediction, in the form of sensing the intent from others to anticipate their movements. We can see this is different than the aforementioned mentioned mind reading since Luffy opted to not turn off his mind, and instead of to bypass it via a speed blitz. Also backed up by the datebook.


Number three future prediction: For starters this isn't future sight, more so it's little cousin. Under certain conditions Kenbunshoku Haki users of this level can "predict" the outcome of future actions. Note this isn't future sight, with that being the ability to see and hear the literal future whereas this is a pseudo version of that ability.



The Hakiman flexes.


In turn this would also grant Beyond Advanced Hao users the ability to negate both Analytical Prediction and precognition.

I actually disagree with this part.

Luffy just knew what would happen if he rushed in there because of his experiences against bladed fighters, such as captain Kuro:

ロギア 「自分を無敵と勘違いしてきた“自然系〟 の寿命は短い」 というのはペコムズの有名な格言だが、 ルフィは幼少期か らエースやサボ、 覇気使いのガープにまでしごかれ敗北の 日々を過ごし、 己の能力を過信する暇すらなかった。 ざんげき ぜいじゃくせい 数多の実戦経験から、 斬撃への脆弱性や、伸ばした腕を 切られるリスクまでもしっかりと把握している。 高いスピー ドを誇るクロとの戦いで、無防備に伸ばした腕に乗られる という経験をしたルフィは、頂上戦争時にはミホークに腕 を切断される危機を見事回避した。

Because Luffy has been beaten by Ace, Sabo, and even the haki user Garp since he was a child, he spent his time in defeat and has no time to overestimate his abilities. Through his experience in numerous actual battles, he is well aware of his vulnerability to slashes and the risk of having his outstretched arm cut off. After his experience of being caught unprotected by Kuro's outstretched arm in a battle with Kuro, who boasts of his high speed, Luffy successfully avoided the danger of having his arm severed by Mihawk during the Summit War.

Completely disagree

Obs Haki in general let's them literally know what they will do in the future by reading their intent, that's just precognition there's no analytical prediction, which you need to analyze and get information from to do and predict, obs Haki automatically let's you know what will happen
divination

  1. the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means.
五感を研ぎ澄まし気配を悟る!
周囲にいる生き物の気配や、感情の動きをも察する覇気である。戦いにおいてだけでなく、危険を予見し回避するにも有効だ!
Sharpen your senses and realize the presence!
It is a high spirit that detects the presence of creatures around you and their emotions. It is effective not only in battle, but also in foreseeing and avoiding danger!

and instead of to bypass it via a speed blitz.
It bypasses even advanced obs Haki users... Any precog gets bypassed by getting movement speed blitzed, even when she got blitzed she could still read him and know what he was going to do
Number three future prediction: For starters this isn't future sight, more so it's little cousin. Under certain conditions Kenbunshoku Haki users of this level can "predict" the outcome of future actions. Note this isn't future sight, with that being the ability to see and hear the literal future whereas this is a pseudo version of that ability.
that isn't even haki and is simple analytical prediction


Also the mind reading is also a type of precog, by reading their mind... They'll simply know the action you will do in the future
相手の心を読み、次に取る行動を感知!敵の攻撃を避けたり、動きを予見して攻撃を当てるなど、様々な状況で応用可能な能力だ。
Read the mind of the opponent and sense the next action to be taken! This ability can be applied in a variety of situations, such as avoiding an enemy's attack or foreseeing his/her movement to attack.

Precognition is seeing into the future. Sandersonia wasn't looking into the future. She was sensing Luffy's intent.

By knowing what will happen in the future, you are basically seeing it in a way just not the actual literally looking in the future kind but by knowing what will happen in the future

She gained knowledge of the future by sensing luffy's intent

Which is... Divination on the precog page, something different to Analytical one
analytical
  1. relating to or using analysis or logical reasoning.
To predict where they could go
 
Knowing what will happen via analytical predictions, mind reading, and intent sensing is not precog.
It is impossible to fully know what will actually happen using analytical predictions... You do know that right?

Example:

r6q5qoG_d.webp

That's why it's different to actually precog because knowing/seeing the future can't get bypassed by being unpredictable
Knowing what happens in the future and straight up seeing the future are 2 different things.
Which both accomplish the same result and everything...

Notice how I also said mind reading and intent sensing.
Which both accomplish the same result and everything...
Which is why they're similar, but not the same thing.
 
analytical predictions uses logical reasonings to then find out where you could move to or predict the future... Which is something you don't need to do if you already know what will happen in the future

Normal observation haki (early luffy against katakuri) can fight against/counter future sight making katakuri having to spam it, as he sees where luffy will go in the future and sees luffy getting hit by a spear, luffy counters that by knowing what katakuri will do in that split second to dodge and katakuri not being able to read that as luffy knowing what will happen as well changes the future

0882-010.png

which wouldn't be possible without countering future sight since katakuri can see what would happen in the future

Something analycal prediction can't actually do as they need to actually know what will happen

don't think I needed to make it this complex to get my point across 🙈😅

I agree with these.
