Nah, they're not stupid. My stuff often comes across as either awkwardly phrased or really confusing, and that's usually on me as a writer. So asking for clarification is never a bad thing.

Kiroku is a little difficult to explain, it's essentially adopting the Ki of something else to make the martial artist's feel like that Ki. When their Ki is perceived like that, the effect becomes real. To make it as simple as possible, think of Rose's Bankai, only instead of music, it's Ki and the different sensations that Ki can be perceived as. The quote I have here, Four Realms of Hakuda, under Kiroku, is how I tried to explain it best as I can. Let me know if you have any specific follow-up questions about that.

Kihaku, is another matter entirely. Kousa would not reach that point if he focused on any other discipline or ability (ie. Hakkenda, Kido, et cetera). Kihaku is also very rarely attained either, it is the mark of a true Hakuda Master, one that has reached Hakuda's zenith. Even Kuniharu isn't at that point because his fighting style isn't Hakuda exclusive. Same for Rinnobo and Saori. Besides Seireitou and Botan, the only Hakudaka I have that have reached that point are the Eight Sage Fists.

As for Hakkenda, yeah, he probably would have learned it from Kuniharu. And I don't see why not, that's plausible.
