Haki[]
Kaneki is able to use all three forms of Haki. The first form (Kenbushoku) allows Kaneki to sense the presence of others, even if they are concealed from view or too far to see naturally. The user can also use this Haki to predict an opponent's moves shortly before they make them, thereby making the attack much easier to evade with enough skill. This prediction appears to the user as an image or brief "premonition" of what the opponent will do in the user's mind's eye, and the damage the user will take if the attack actually "hits". It appears that the more killing intent the enemy has, the easier they are to predict. Although, more skilled users can predict future moves whether there are ambient murderous intents or not.
The second form (Busoshoku) allows the user to create a force similar to an invisible armor around themselves. Haki allows the user to defend against attacks that would otherwise cause them harm. Significant physical force can still overcome this defense, however. Naturally this "invisible armor" can be used as a weapon to strike others with. It can be used to augment the user's own attacks, projected ahead of the user as pure brute force, or imbued in weapons to increase their effectiveness. Any attack enhanced by Busoshoku Haki hits immensely harder than it would normally be without it.
The third type of Haki (Haoshoku) grants the user the ability to dominate the wills of others. The most common usage in the series so far is knocking those with weak wills unconscious. Whilst inexperienced users are restricted to merely overpowering the will of one individual or blindly knocking out weak-willed people around them, those with more expertise can pick out weak-willed individuals in a large group and knock them out without affecting those around them.
Weapons[]
- Hrunting- Hound of the Red Plains ( 赤原猟犬フルンディング , ?) is the sword used by Beowulf to kill the mother of Grendel. It is a pitch-black weapon, with a few small edges coiling around the thin core, spiraling around it and somewhat curving outward. Once thrown, it turns into a magical bullet enveloped in a red light that reaches speeds of Mach 10 on the most direct path to its target, and it will continue to pursue the target, even if parried, repulsed, or avoided, as long as the thrower keeps aiming at them. While it is normally impossible to change targets after firing, he is able adjust for such possibilities and have a single path be capable of striking two enemies.
