Hypnosis (八殺剣, Hachi Yaken) is a technique seen in Suikoden II.
Information
Hypnosis was the trick used by Retso of the Black Dragon Group when he competed against Hai Yo. Using hypnosis, Retso's movements during his cooking gave the illusion of perfectly tasting food to whoever ate it while witnessing the technique.
Because of this technique, Hai Yo was easily defeated by Retso in their first contest.
Trivia
- In real life, hypnosis is defined as a condition involved focused attention, reduced peripheral awareness, and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion.
