There are some abilities that are absent from Kojiro's page that I believe he should have, and the reasons why:

Information Analysis: he's literally "The Greatest Scanner", and IA is where his Enhanced Sense comes from

Power Mimicry: As he loses to an opponent, he can hone the abilities he's defeated with and uses them in battle (Musashi's dual wield, Sword Saint's flowing combos, etc. It was so potent that Musashi's own son believed Kojiro was Musashi just based on his movements and attacks for a brief moment

Reactive Power Level: similar to his AD, but the underlying differences being that he was also becoming faster and stronger during his fight with Poseidon due in part to his own AD, but also to match both the speed amp Poseidon got when he got serious, and the strength gap when Poseidon realized he couldn't outskill Sasaki, so he tries to overpower him.

Social Influencing: This is highly debatable, as it could just be a byproduct of him being humanity's champion/fighter, but throughout his life, he was able to turn everyone he fought and was defeated by into allies (at least it seemed this way when they all saw him first on the stage from the stands). Even Musashi's son, who was vehemently against his taking Musashi's place as a fighter, eventually came around. His carefree, humble attitude made quite a few of his enemies into friends

I would like some feedback, and if any of these sound good, I can add them, or someone else can.
 
Information analysis and reactive power level seem fine, but the others are severe exaggerations.
 
The Information Analysis comes from his supernatural senses, not sure if it counts in this way. Neither sure about his reactive evolution, yes his scanning abilities became better, but I believe that it was the typical scene or being at risk and similar.

Definitively is not Power Mimicry nor Social Influencing, he trained in order to get those abilities, he do not copied them; and humankind has no much of a choice but to praise him, even if his abilities aren't impressing.
 
Antoniofer makes sense.
 
info analysis is fine i think and react evolution could also work cuz on how he analyzed and made it better

power mimicry yeah he trained like anto said so its doesn't really fit as well as social influencing due to ppl just wanting to survive and kojiro to win
 
Alright, thank you guys for the feedback! I appreciate it, and will update Sasaki's page accordingly: IA and RE will be added, and PM, SI will not be added

I agree that it comes from his supernatural senses (hence his Enhanced Sense and IA being directly related), but wouldn't you say that he uses his Enhanced Senses to have Info Analysis?
 
I feel that he should also have Mind manipulation. Merely raising his hand the dude from his dojo saw his death as he saw kojiro cut through him. This caused him to surrender immediately.

Also in the same chapter when his master visit him, despite being blind his master being in the presence of the cuts he created on the wall was able to see multiple images of the men from the dojo and states "The light had already faded from seigen's eyes. Just for a moment, that image pierced his mind".

https://mangarock.com/manga/mrs-serie-100398746/chapter/mrs-chapter-200036912

Also when he gets his blade ready, Kojiro presense was able to make all the other samurai cry. Could this possibly be empathic manipulation and Aura?

https://mangarock.com/manga/mrs-serie-100398746/chapter/mrs-chapter-200026575
 
Instead of Mind Manipulation, what about limited illusion creation?

I feel like that would be more a feat for his master, but it could be debated either way

I'd say that's a bit of a reach, it could just be the high-running emotions and the fact that if Sasaki couldn't do it, none of them could
 
I was originally going to put illusion creation but changed it to mind manipulation since it directly mentioned his mind.

I can see why the master could be debated, but the other dude's one would definielty be afeat for Kojiro.

Yeah, I thought it might be reaching. It just shows him getting his sword and what seemed like a burst of aura or his presence hits them and they start crying. But I can see why it would be a reach

Also, Kojiro's form is stated to be the form of enlightenment. 1-A RoR. Not Wank I swear ƒÿñƒÿñ
 
I believe that these visions are more related to the instint of the warriors than Kojirou's power; in similar way that Kojirou can simulate how can a fight happen and what would happen if he does something, the other ones could do the same (in a inferior way).

And no, he do not have empathic manipulation, the other warriors only felt that way when they witnessed Kojirou's mastery of the sword.
 
Let's try to avoid speculation and hyperbole please.
 
@Antoniofer

What, if anything, do you think should be added?
 
Technically he already have Enhanced Senses but I guess it better to write down how good are those (as is capable to scan all creation). I do not trust much in Reactive Power Level, he didn't became stronger, but I believe the pressure and plus the support of humankind helped him to improve his scanning ability (typical "adrenaline rush/pis"), don't think the ability will become better now, plus, development new tactics in middle combat is not RPL nor RE.
 
So, to clarify, IA is okay and RPL/RE is not? Because AD is definitely true, but I feel as thought that focuses more on the individual's improvement on the whole, whereas on top of AD, Sasaki does somewhat develop based on Poseidon's speed and strength.
 
What do you think Antoniofer?

I would personally agree with Reactive Power Level/Reactive Evolution. Throughout the fight Kojiro would step up to Poseidon, only for Poseidon to increase his speed and power. Then Kojiro would grow and learn from it and grow stronger himself. It is also stated that every flash of pain and drop of blood makes Kojiro stronger.
https://mangarock.com/manga/mrs-serie-100398746/chapter/mrs-chapter-200108652
This was a compelling argument on RPL's behalf
 
You can politely ask Antoniofer to comment here again via his message wall.
 
Okay. Thanks for the reply.
 
True, stronger could be in a general sense, and that seems more consistent. Okay, thanks for getting back to me
 
Okay. Didn't Antoniofer disagree about that though?

I gave his reasoning for Information Analysis just to prevent any confusion
 
Okay. Then it should probably be fine.
 
With the reactive power level/evolution, it is said in the next chapter after their battle that Kojiro was stronger than poseidon by Zeus, which wasn't the case in the beginning of the battle.

https://mangarock.com/manga/mrs-serie-100398746/chapter/mrs-chapter-200125918

It was also stated that Poseidon was only interested in making the battle about pure strength, which Kojiro struggled to keep up and block his attacks. Plus, this was just after he was stated to get stronger as he bleeds and feels pain.

https://mangarock.com/manga/mrs-serie-100398746/chapter/mrs-chapter-200108652

Plus my previous point about him growing stronger everytime Poseidon would. I do think it relates to his physical strength.

Also about the scanning all of creation. What range is that? If I am not mistaken there are to universes (Our universe and Heaven). Plus the garden of eden is stated to have infinite providence, although I am not sure if its part of heaven or not. I also think the spanish version had it as universe instead. So its range could be anywhere between universal- low multiversal??
 
So what is left to do here?
