Fudo-sama said: GUYS, killing intent is actually a scent thing. I remember reading about this a while back, when people are trying to kill, they usually emit some kind of hormone that gives off a barely detectable scent. You can't even really smell it, but your subconcious brain picks up on it and tells you to move. It's a real thing, look it up. Pheromones to be exact. Due to the nature of pheromones, it depends on the direction of the wind, and distance. (Particularly the distance is where anime tends to exaggerate) Subconsciously, it is possible for all humans to detect "killing intent", to actually consciously detect it you'd have to be born with the predisposition, or train it. Training, would probably take years, and a lot of experience. The easiest example being, soldiers knowing an ambush is coming despite any clear signal. I guess that can be put off as "experience". While hunting you try to avoid killing an animal in the direction of the wind due to the same reasons. Being able to emit "killing intent"? Now that's probably more in the realm of fiction, as emitting pheromones tends to be something we do subconsciously. Is it impossible? Probably not, but very very rare. Regarding chi/chakra, it's mostly attributed to being able to feel the bio-electromagnetic field humans emit. Well, there are many theories, but in regards to being able to sense emotions, that has been shown to be rather hard to prove with science. One thing is for sure though, certain humans are able to do incredible things through sheer willpower and concentration. Again, if it's really due to the magnetic field of humans; the distance is often highly exaggerated in anime. |

Just goes to show there's a lot about the brain we still don't know about. You're exaggerating. Controlling your body's temperature is pretty much the same thing as controlling your breathing - just a bunch of muscles that usually work fine on their own and don't ask for our attention. With "biofeedback" techniques it's not that hard to learn to control such things. |

This person's right I think. It might not exist but body language and features can be used to notice it. But people can very good at hiding it. I mean, Watkins wasn't a murderer but he was a dangerous criminal and no one saw it for years. A lot of people commit these crimes partly because they can, because they know people won't think they'll do it. |

With "biofeedback" techniques it's not that hard to learn to control such things. Articles written by mystical people tend to exaggerate the mysteriousness of this world. Articles written by scientific people tend to undersell it. In practice, there's still a lot of things that we don't really understand. But a lot of things we do understand. Just a few years ago somebody got an award for explaining why woodpeckers don't get a headache from all the woodpecking, yet we've known about the woodpeckers for a very long time! |
| I think its real, its an instinct. I'm sure part of it has to do with body language as many others have said but you can sense hostility or at least most people can to a degree. Its kind of like if you've ever been around people who act nice to you but you can just feel this feeling in your gut that they don't like you or you shouldn't trust them for some reason & then some point down the road it comes out that they never liked you to begin with, etc. I figure its gotta be that same feeling but rather then a feeling of somethings not right, your gut is probably telling you don't turn your back on this person, stay alert, etc. |

| Base from real life experience having been to a prison tour (dont ask why), all I can say is its heavily focused on the eyes and body movement in general though I dont think you can call it a "killing intent" per se but definitely a dangerous aura which can intimidate alot of people |
They said to be yourself, but then they judge you... |

huronvalley said: Haha good point, but I was thinking more along the lines of the idea behind pets being good judges of characters (dogs, cats, etc.) I think even the most horrible people have pets. Animals don't have a moral system. They cannot judge who is good and who is bad. |

huronvalley said: Also you say in real life, so how about animals? I mean animals have a distinct superiority when it comes to detecting ill intent I believe. Humans, with their overdeveloped brains, have a big advantage when it comes to sensing stuff, especially in the "pattern analysis" part. We're so good we sometimes see things that don't really exist (from shapes of the clouds to government conspiracies). TheBrainintheJar said: How come predators manage to eat, then? Most of the time, animals detect predators before they strike. And even in time to run away. A predator that preys on mammals has to make a few tens of attempts before he actually catches anything. Maybe it's better for stealth-based predators, like owls, but it's hard to measure (because owls are damn stealthy in the night!). |

Can an animal detect someone who's a thief, a child molester, a manipulative asshole, a boss who exploits his workers? |

huronvalley said: Well I agree with you due to the lack of a higher intelligence, but what about people saying that "animals are good judges of character?" (usually referring to pets). Pets might not be great at judging a human's character, but humans are less likely to pretend to be good when dealing with a pet. Thus making it easier for the pet. They might also be good at picking up smell-based cues. But overall, I wouldn't trust a pet's judgement too much. |

How can you prove pets are good judges of character? Do pets understand the concept of morality? Can you explain to them why a boss paying below minimum wage is bad, or why stealing is bad? |

No, but if someone is looking at you like this... ...most people are going to figure it out pretty quickly. |

n00t said: Being able to both detect and emit killing intent is a common theme in anime. Do you guys think such a thing exists in real life? Watch LiveLeak ISIS Beheaded vids...and then, tell me that intent to kill doesn't exist.... |

| Natural instinct? But I'm guessing killing intent is like some bullshit aura that is so strong that the ground shakes. |
huronvalley said: TheBrainintheJar said: How can you prove pets are good judges of character? Do pets understand the concept of morality? Can you explain to them why a boss paying below minimum wage is bad, or why stealing is bad? I'm not talking about immorality vs. morality... Just the basis of predator vs. prey, Knowing that someone or something has the intention to harm or kill... I believe animals can detect such an intent as well as humans too. Now the method of doing so I don't know. Morality vs immorality is a different topic. Hell some people don't even know morality vs. immorality. Humans definitely don't have this ability. A lot of killers, rapists and other such people got away with their crimes for a long time. Human beings aren't ordinary predators. We don't chase our food but raise it. This is very different. |

I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| Nope. You can't project intent like my forum sig can. Aura doesn't even exist. lol |

Deago said: CrappyGod-sama said: It's Rena from the Higurashi series. Thank you...! *Add the anime to my PTW* If you're looking for good horror/mystery show you will probably like it. Just as a heads up, the franchise does kind of an odd thing. It is told in separate story arcs. Each arc is separate story and presents an unsolved mystery. The first season has all the "question arcs" so on it's own it doesn't make much sense. The second series Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai consists of all the "answer arcs" and solves all the mysteries posed by the first series. |

| I read somewhere that when meeting a psychopath theres a brief room of a few seconds when we feel pure fear and it disappears after that. |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| I think it exists. It's probably on the same level as how you feel when you are glared at by someone. You feel the violent impulse aimed towards you. |
