Introduction

In the world of Bo-bobo, Hajike is the art and philosophy of doing bizarre or unexpected things in order to confuse, fight, out-do others, or as a regular way of life. Those who practice Hajike are called Hajikelists, also known as Wiggin' Specialist in the English dub. Used by many of the weird warriors of the world, such as Bo-bobo or Don Patch. The word is taken from the Japanese verb hajikeru (弾ける), which means "to burst open" or, in more appropriate terms, "to go wild" or "wig out".

Means of Hajike

While Hajike can just be an idea, art, or philosophy to some, it can even, by some people, be used as a concept or even as a law of reality.

Low levels of Hajike are used to equate to Toonforce where moderately powerful users use it for "Reality Warping", "Size Manipulation"," Shapeshifting, Duplication", and "Regeneration" ranging from "Mid-High to True-Godly". Hajike can even change someone's biology and even their race. Hajike can change someone's mortality or bring people to life, or kill people. Hajike has been used for Probability, Fate Manipulation on high levels, and is also commonly used for extremely powerful "Plot Manipulation". Most Hajike users have 4th Wall Awareness, and some uses of Hajike even treat it as energy. Hajike users as potent as Don Patch and Bo-bobo even have Hajike Souls. Many other abilities and references.
