I understand Tekkai and Shigan, but how are the other two similar to haki? I'm not trying to argue, I'm simply missing the comparison. Yes, haki comes with drawbacks, which I think makes it more balanced among the other fighting techniques. Imagine if it made you fast enough to dodge whatever came at you, like bullets, that would be too overpowering. The difficulty in training it and physically using makes it a bit more fair. The one question I still have about it is about the vice admirals. It was said that all vice admirals and above can use it, but do they just need one type or all three to be vice admiral material? Can Momonga know only busoshoku and Yamakaji only know kenbunshoku potentially? I'm actually glad you wrote this blog since it lays haki out among the fighting techniques and mentions the drawbacks, which chapter 597 didn't do.
