Talk:Haki

Rework this Entire page
Ok, usually I don't pop into this Wiki because of the Extreme amount of Fanboyish Bias that exhists here, but I need to say this before this page confuses someone. The fact of the matter is that we know Next to nothing about "Ambition". (Haki in Japanese and Weaboo) I don't remember Reileigh, Hancock, or any of the Other Kuja for that matter saying ANYTHING about Ambition being some form of "Spirit Energy" that this wiki page flat out says it is. We know almost nothing about it, yet this page talks as though Oda's explained in an SBS that "Haki, being a holy untranslatable word, is the Way characters can tell how powerful Each other are, and Luffy's is OVER NINE THOUSAAAAND!!". This ENTIRE article should be rewritten so that it's all speculative, because the way I see it, this is probabily going to end up being nothing more than characters literally imposing their Ambition or their Will onto their opponent, and being able to predict the movements of a weaker-willed opponent and it literally won't be a power at all.


 * What is mostly stated in the article is what is shown and known. True we don't know much and true it isn't exactly spirit energy like in Dragon Ball, however the way its been used appears to be based from the same original basis the whole other anime and manga are based on.


 * Chi, as its been originally been viewed in real life, can be used by certain people to knock other people down without touching them. They're basically throwing some internal unseen force from their body at their opponents. Whether this is real or not is another matter, this concept is what Haki's main and first uses appear to be based on.


 * Though it may turn out no more like you said, the fact it got some emphasis means that it may turn out to be something more. Also just because its not a visible flashy thing like in Naruto or Dragon Ball, doesn't mean its not spirit energy. I mean the Force is an invisible concept yet its considered similar in concept with Dragon Ball's Ki.Mugiwara Franky 14:41, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Preposed move
I prepose we move this from "spirit energy" to its Japanese name of "Haki". Mainly becayse we use the Japanese name for everything else on this site already. One-Winged Hawk 08:17, 12 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Besides, "ambition" is a better translation than "spirit energy" anyway. So it should be moved to something else no matter what. --72.82.2.204 08:23, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

The Force?
I've been thinking that a lot of the image of Haki being regards the willpower of the user feels more like some aspects of "The Force" in Star Wars than merely just Ki such as in Dragonball. While DB does have some aspects of this, I actually was thinking of adding references to that if permitted with the way both does have the "willpower" aspect in influencing or affecting others. -StrangerAtaru 17:00, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Wait a few more chapters I'd say for more info. One-Winged Hawk 17:42, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * now that you said that, it also resambles the reiatsu in bleach which is their spiritual power D.Sneasel 22:48, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * In regards to the force, a quick reread of some old uni notes I had somewhere... The Force is just a reharsh of a lot of "chi" things that have been around for centuries. Star Wars was based a lot on some guys notes on religion.  I remembered a tutor at uni mentioning the BBC asking her to do a program on physociology and being told she can't because the guy was sensitive due to cult links.  She turned round and said "Yet you are prepared to show Stars Wars which is all based on the guy's ideas?".  One-Winged Hawk 07:55, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Shanks with Haoushoku
I'm pretty sure Shanks has the Haoushoku ability, as well. One Piece Chapter 434.


 * It seems like it but unless stated, it can also be speculated that he has a higher form. P.S. please sign your comments with " ~ " Mugiwara Franky 23:24, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Some say Rayleigh has it too, however, we're jumping to conclusions if we scream out "Haoushoku!" at every big Haki user. We need more info! One-Winged Hawk 19:06, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Just because Luffy knocked out some people with Haoushoku, that doesn't mean every time someone was knocked out by haki, it was Haoushoku. If Rayleigh and Shanks have it, Roger probably does too, and three people with a one-in-millions attribute on the same crew seems ridiculous. Not impossible of course, but it's too much of a stretch to assume it's true based on so little. --72.82.8.94 19:55, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * When Rayleigh used his Haki, it had the same, for lack of a better word, 'line' effect (Many lines stretching away from the centre of the panel) as luffy had when he used his Haoushoku. In Romance Dawn, the effect is not used by Shanks. Also I think it's quite likely three one-in-millions people to be in Gol D. Roger's crew. Haoushoku seems a very powerful weapon, and I wouldn't be suprised that people with it rise to great things, such as being in the Pirate King's Crew. Not going to add anyone to the list however, until confirmation.

People are still adding Shanks and Rayleigh to the list... Why can't we wait for confirmation on more Haki info? One-Winged Hawk 09:47, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Hancock's mastery
After much debate about Hancock's last line in chapter 519, Aohige finally confirmed that she said Luffy hadn't mastered Haohshoku, not herself.

He's a Japanese native and a very reliable translator, so we should fix anything that says she hasn't mastered it. --72.82.8.94 20:01, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Backed by stephen's translation.

Gol D. Roger
I say that Gol D. Roger was a user. I am pretty sure that he use "Haki" to win allot of is battles!

 * Not the slightest hint he had or had not yet... YP, please be aware the rules here aren't the same as Fanons, we can't write speculation on or open chaty discussions. Annoy = very.  But its like that for a reason.  :-( One-Winged Hawk 00:01, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I know all the rules I was just saying what I was thinking! Is that breaking the rules? And I know that is not stated or that you and all the other user know I know!
