A state of total awareness in a highly disciplined form of "kah rah tehy" where one's reaction speed is so fast that it is nearly psychic. Things that can be predicted from: body language, momentum of a objects, and anything that you can assume from basic physics. The proper sign for "Unagi" is shown by making a fist, then putting out the index and middle fingers on your temple (almost like a salute) before saying Unagi, and after showing Unagi.
Some robbers were about to jump me, but I was able vanquish them because I forsaw the event. Afterwhich, I proceeded to make the Unagi sign, then saying "unagi" in order to strike fear into my enemies.
