One Piece

During PunkHazard, he mentioned observation haki while looking for something underwater, so he must have been familiar with armament at the time.

I really like what the character Big Mom does for One Piece; she's a great chaotic neutral/evil force that can influence the story in a way typically Luffy only gets to. I also can't believe her appeal to get the bean soup to the poor town that was kind to her got me misty- the woman who killed her own son about 100 eps ago looked very sympathetic (her dissapointed face didn't hurt, either).

I look forward to this new Haki upgrade because I like the sakura blossom effect. I hope there are more permutations of Haki like this.

During PunkHazard, he mentioned observation haki while looking for something underwater, so he must have been familiar with armament at the time.

Knowing one doesn't automatically mean knowing the other though. Usopp has Observation Haki but no Armament Haki.

Fun fact, Ryuo, the samurai version of Haki, translates to "flowing sakura." Really loved the flowing sakura animation of Luffy's arms at the end there.

Would be interesting to see more permutations, but the ranged haki attacks were just another one of those things Oda teased long ago. The only remaining spike I'm still waiting for are the awakened fruit powers.

I just wish it was it's own Haki type, and not just a different application of Armament.

Oda is bad at categorizing things. Like how there's only 3 devil fruit types. Elemental, animal and EVERY OTHER POWER IN EXISTENCE.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by Hunter X Hunter there.
