Maybe extra sensory is the wrong word…I can’t believe I’m about to reference that.

There was once this show called B-daman that was basically beyblade with plastic guns. Overly commercial but I was a bit too stupid at the time to know better and for what it’s worth it was a fun show.

Anywho relatively early in the show…like second or third episode early, the antagonist challenged the protagonist at a fight on top of a mountain in a ridge where the winds blew erratically. He and his friend went there and accepted the challenge where he realized too late that his shots couldn’t be aimed properly…however his opponent didn’t seem to have that problem, aiming in random directions but landing hits. He claimed, in one of the cooler moments of the show, that he was listening to the wind.

After getting pelted for a while the protagonist was looking for ways to predict like his opponent was doing and, in one of the more uncool moments of the show, looked at his spectating friend and noticed his trail of snot that was being blown by the wind…and proceeded to use that to get a general idea where to aim until he got the hang of it.

In case you haven’t figured it out, what he called “listening to the wind” was actually little more than geometry, the same kind of geometry used by golf players in order to predict where the balls will end and the path they will take. They don’t feel anything, they think it, and that’s what 73 semblance is doing, imOfc. In his own words his character figures out if he can alter the weather, it’s his mind doing all the work. Even if his senses would be temporary incapacitated he would STILL know if he can do something manually to alter the weather, and that is why I think this semblance is more mind related, rather than body related.
