At first, I just thought of Haki as something that “kind of comes out,” but now it’s a fundamental technique in One Piece.
KoyoridoI really love the way Armament Haki turns black, but I wonder how it actually works physically.
ShinshinmaruI like characters with strong Observation Haki because they’re generally calm.
Harumi AoThere’s a problem with too many people with Conqueror’s Haki. But what’s great is that they’re all “suited characters.”
Yumeno KotoriLuffy’s Conqueror’s Haki comes out naturally in the middle of a fight, which makes him feel like a real hero.
I love that Haki can improve anyone’s talent with practice. There’s also an element of effort involved.
Mirai Kobo→ But I like how they draw the line that Conqueror’s Haki is just purely talent.
→ That’s right. The “chosen one” feeling really ties the story together.
Kokoro CoffeeWhen I first saw the future-seeing ability of Observation Haki, I thought, “Isn’t that basically predicting the future?” but it’s so convenient, I love it.
Floating BoatThe texture of Armament Haki hardening is different every time it’s drawn in the anime, which is interesting.
Yuzu YuzuruThe power of Conqueror’s Haki-infused attacks is especially striking in the anime!
Kurage YuraI wish they’d highlight the strength of Sanji’s Observation Haki more.
Suzune’s Voice→ Isn’t it true that Sanji’s vision of the future is actually more accurate than Luffy’s?
Kurage Yura→ I think so. He’s a very sensitive type, after all.
KoganemochiI really like how Wano Country presented Armament Haki as “Ryuushuu.” It’s a natural strengthening element.
Fukurou BunkoIsn’t the concept of Ryuushuu = destroying from the inside just too powerful?
Kasumi Bridge→ When you understand why he went to Kaido, it makes a lot of sense.
Nonoka DiaryThe scene where the two Conqueror’s Hakis clash is spine-chilling.
Lemon Tea→ I love the feeling that they’re fighting using only shock waves.
Nonoka Diary→ I like the fact that buildings collapse every once in a while.
Tsubasa TabitoThe “stamina consumption” aspect of Haki is surprisingly important.
Tamayura News→ This is often forgotten, but it’s a big strategic factor.
Tsubasa Tabito→ Yes, there’s that sense of tension that running out of Haki means you’re finished.
Sakuraba HikaruHaving a character who can hear their “inner voice” with their Observation Haki really broadens the worldview.
Whispering Cloud→ An interesting setting where the strength of one’s soul and emotions is visualized.
ShinshinmaruThe qualities of Conqueror’s Haki seem to be more about “way of life” than lineage.
Koyorido→ Doflamingo is a prime example of this. It makes sense that his destructive impulses are channeled into Conqueror’s Haki.
Shinshinmaru→ On the other hand, there are also people of character like Rayleigh who possess it. It’s a wide range.
Mirai KoboThe rate at which Haki develops varies greatly depending on the training period.
→ The result of two years of training; the timing of the introduction of Haki was perfect.
Suzune’s VoiceI wonder what Blackbeard’s Haki is like? It seems likely that his Devil Fruit specialization makes his Haki weaker.
Kokoro Coffee→ But with his mentality, it wouldn’t be surprising if he had Conqueror’s Haki.
Suzune’s Voice→ Conversely, I feel like he’d be more Blackbeard-like without it.
Yuzu YuzuruShanks is my favorite Conqueror’s Haki possessor. The reason is his “convincingness.”
Kurage Yura→ His depiction of murderous intent is always monstrous.
Yuzu Yuzuru→ It’s rare to find a character who can defeat people just by getting close.
KoganemochiI’d like to see more uses for Armament Haki, not just for attack, but as a “support” tool.
Fukurou Bunko→ I’m sure there are plenty of creative ways to do this, like hardening to strengthen the footing.
Harumi AoThe first time Zoro appeared with the Conqueror’s Haki, it was a huge shock.
Koyorido→ Honestly, everyone was kind of hoping Zoro would have it.
Tsubasa TabitoI feel like characters with strong Observation Haki also have sharper conversational tempos.
Sakuraba Hikaru→ He certainly does have the type of behavior that allows him to sense emotions.
Nonoka DiaryI’m grateful that the story is balanced by the premise that Haki = Devil Fruit power.
Tadayu Fune→ Without Haki, the Devil Fruit team would run wild (lol).
Tamayura NewsI think Haki might actually have an even higher level concept.
Mirai Kobo→ I feel like there’s still room for development, like “Conqueror’s Haki within the Conqueror’s Haki.”
Whispering CloudI wonder how strong a dragon’s Haki is…it looks like it could blow up an entire country.
Shinshinmaru→ I’d be surprised if the leader of the Revolutionary Army had weak Haki.
Lemon TeaHaki is so much easier to understand in anime. The sound effects are divine.
Suzune’s Voice→ I love how there’s a pause in the shockwave. That’s seriously clever.
Kurage YuraIn the end, I love how Haki is a direct manifestation of a person’s mental strength.
