Powers & Abilities Haoshoku Coating criteria

#1
Lets discuss the criteria for Haoshoku Coating.

In some panels such as these, it is shown to be not touching the opponent.



This is what we call ACoA + Haoshoku Coating. Only when combined the no touching applies.

When Kaido used Haoshoku Coating on his Ragnaroku, Luffy immediately understood that you can coat your attacks with Conquerors Haki.

When it was used however it touched luffy directly leaving huge black lighting trails behind.


More instances where Haoshoku Coating hit the opponents.


The criteria for Haoshoku Coating isn’t the no touching part. It is the black lighting trails that leak out from the fists or weapons.

Here is some example:





So we can safely say that the only criteria for Haoshoku Coating is the black lighting trails that are left behind every time such an attack is being released. At least its the most viable criteria.

Even shanks kamusari hit kidd and his railgun. And that attack was clearly Haoshoku Coating.


The coating is nothing more than a power multiplier and the no touching variant only happens when ACoA is being used in combination of Haoshoku Coating.

Have at thee…

I guess it makes sense that in order to unlock Adv CoC/CoC coating, you need ID CoA or "Flow" to imbued CoC into your fist/weapons/etc.

Doesn't change the fact that Adv CoC is still a bullshit power-up.

When Ray explained Haki, he is shown using the no-touching method. Admirals also use them in Marineford. It's been ages so it's normal that people forget about it.
Wiki community already get it much earlier.
This is because they actually can only write with whatever is already explained & shown in the manga (so they can cite the source). Like you said, that Ray & Admiral scene is the key. Not inventing headcanon & speculating something new.

Post automatically merged:


All these aCoC threads are triggering Damaji's fans because he doesnt have it.
Oda : literally & figuratively saying that Sanji is born normal, using Germa scientist

Sanji fans : he will unlock CoC!

This is just Oda's fault.

Haki is cool but isn't 1/10th of the greatness HxH's nen is.

Oda should've just made it clear what COC is rather than being CoA 2.0.

COC would be better if it is explained as an amplifier on panel and it would make sense.

Basic COC = presence being amplified, hence the intimidation

Future Sight = COC amplifying anticipation sensing COO
Life Spirit/Soul Vision (Ussop/Fujitora) = COC amplfying vision COO

COA Koka, Flowing/Barrier, Internal Destruction = Black Lightning Effects
COC + COA Koka, Flowing/Barrier, Internal Destruction = Overflowing Big Thicc Black Lightning Effects

Idk why Oda doesn't make things like these clear enough.

Just like whether Kaido or Big Mom has awakening or not.
