I still donโt know fully what happened but Iโm on her side because I could feel all that frustration through the screen ๐ญ.
I canโt wait to watch this!

Imu's new power is read with the phonetic reading of "Omen" (ใชใผใกใณ), but the kanji reading is that of "maki" (้ญๆฐ), a combination of ้ญ (ma: devil, evil, demonic) and ๆฐ (ki/chi: life energy, feeling). As such, ้ญๆฐ can be technically read as "a bad feeling", or quite literally an omen, but also as "demonic energy/spirit", fitting of Imu's powers.
The interesting connection is the similarity between maki (้ญๆฐ) and haki (่ฆๆฐ), with the latter instead meaning "conqueror energy" or more liberally "energy of ambition", as maki replaces the first kanji with that of devil.
Will go into some more detail in my analysis hopefully next week or so, but thought I'd break it down a bit here at least!
