"Hell, I can still move and I'm not in pain. Despite just losing... no, exactly because I just lost, my fighting instinct is roused up... I feel like I'm exploding with violence!!"
― Garou (One-Punch Man)
"Suited to real combat. In other words, those who are capable of bringing out more power the stronger their opponent is. Well, it's true that everyone possesses some amount of this trait but the difference it produces in this boy is simply ridiculous."
― Rin Ko on Ri Shin during their duel. (Kingdom)
"What were you saying? I must've learnt? Nope. This is 100% raw talent."
― Gu Sera (Get Schooled)

The ability to possess an automatic response and intuition for combat. Sub-power of Combat Manipulation. Variation of Enhanced Instincts and Intuitive Aptitude. Not to be confused with Combat Adaptation.
