Take it from someone who has trained in martial arts, there's a HUGE difference between using your 5 senses in your every day life and using them in the context of a fight/ self-defense. Everyone from a young age can use all 5 senses to do regular things like feeling if something is hot or cold. Noticing if something is burning somewhere or the smell of food or perfume. Taste the food we eat. And hear someone else talk (whether or not we can process the words). But things like feeling the wind and deducing what's flying at you (whether or not it will hit you, at which part of the body, at what timing) and how best to avoid getting hurt by it. Figuring out if someone is trying to sneak up on you (from what direction and how far they are) just by the usually unnoticeable sounds our clothes make. Sniffing out the traces of blood, and/or gunpowder that's stuck onto someone's skin or clothes. Those things require specialized training that may go on for years or even decades depending on the individual's skill. It will take even longer to turn those things from sensing them only when you're paying attention into something you do at all times as if it was second nature (the former puts a lot more stress on the mind long term than the latter).

Well... if you're a very well trained athlete then you /MIGHT/ have a chance at out running it... if you're lucky.
However, could humans run faster than a wolf?

The Swastika looks like a flipped version of that Buddhist symbol (as in the lines go the opposite direction)
A yellow book dropped into Fangzheng's hands. Upon closer inspection, it was completely yellow in color. The buddhistic symbol of peace marked the book, 卍. It looked like a chrysanthemum flower that was on the precipice of a flourishing bloom.

...
Although I only asked Mr. Hanged Man what will happen when an animal consumes a potion, the potion ingredients I gathered later were always in pairs. Mr. World might very well have guessed that I have a Spectator beside me based on that; hence, he became wary against Susie who was secretly observing everyone in the hall… Others might not doubt an animal, but Mr. World is experienced. He must've interacted with Beyonder creatures, so it's very normal for him to be wary against such things.

“鬼 (oni)” and “吸血鬼 (Kyuketsuki)” might share one character but they refer to two different types of “妖怪 (youkai)”
And as a novelist, Fors no doubt had all sorts of beautiful or exotic fantasies of the Sanguine, and her eyes were just as bright.

Are Misty's decendants there?
They were currently in the nearest city to the capitol which was called Vermillion City. It had a population of around two hundred million citizens and was divided into two distinct districts.

Uhh... you need to keep your eyes on your opponent's movement and not the opponent's weapon. Instincts on the other hand may be reliable at some point but not when it hasn't gone through a looooooong period of specialized training. And even then you still need to rely on all 5 senses.
