However, he must remain calm to use his Kenbunshoku Haki effectively to predict where the opponent will strike and shift his body accordingly, or else he is susceptible to Haki like any Devil Fruit user. He is able to transform into mochi to block off bullets and reform after suffering lethal injuries like bisection. Katakuri manipulating his body structure to avoid being hit.īecause of Katakuri's highly advanced Kenbunshoku Haki, he is able to change the shape of his mochi body to dodge attacks, causing Haki-imbued attacks to pass through air rather than hit him. Due to Katakuri's physical abilities, these replicated techniques end up being more effective than Luffy's own attacks. This allows Katakuri to imitate a few of Luffy's own techniques, such as Gomu Gomu no Hawk Gatling and Gomu Gomu no Elephant Gun, with his ability to manipulate mochi making him further capable of adding twists of his own, such as extra mochi arms for his version of Gomu Gomu no Hawk Gatling. However, unlike the rubber powers gained from the Gomu Gomu no Mi, the user can also fully transform their body into their substance (in this case, mochi) and even produce it outside of their body and manipulate it. This similarity was noted by Carrot and Katakuri himself. This Devil Fruit is similar to the Gomu Gomu no Mi, as it gives the user's body the properties of a 'stretchy' substance that allows them to extend their limbs and expand their bodies at will. The mochi can also be used to plug up cannons, causing them to explode when fired. Katakuri has used his Devil Fruit to create mochi earplugs in order to resist his mother's destructive scream, creating and distributing more of them to his siblings as well. This extension of limbs is also helpful in situations where Katakuri has to rescue or secure others from danger. He can extend his leg to form an extremely fast, large, tendril-like blunt weapon, imbuing it with Haki to harm the rubber-bodied Monkey D. He has been shown extending his limbs using mochi for various tasks. Katakuri uses his fruit in combat, and is capable of controlling large amounts of mochi with high precision. Otherwise, the user is affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses. This can be countered if the mochi is so hard it cannot be bit. Also, the mochi is edible, especially if the user is not actively controlling it, which can allow one with an incredible appetite, like Luffy, to eat their way through it if they are buried in it. This was first seen when Jinbe used Fish-Man Karate to douse Katakuri's leg with black tea, freeing the trapped Luffy. However, the mochi loses some of its stickiness if a sufficient amount of liquid is applied to it, allowing a trapped opponent to somewhat try to escape. AwakeningĪs with all Devil Fruits, this one has the potential to be ' awakened', which allows the user to turn inorganic material around them into mochi. Thus, the user is intangible against attacks that are not imbued with Busoshoku Haki, and they can freely morph their transformed body into any shape. Unique amongst the Paramecia class, this fruit's ability to transform the user into mochi is analogous to the properties of a Logia class. Additionally, due to its malleability and compatibility with Haki, the mochi can be formed into a massive variety of shapes, such as fists, tendrils, and even spiked clubs. The latter is such that high-caliber gunfire is completely unable to pierce through it. When hardened by Busoshoku Haki, it can be used as an effective blunt-force weapon and is capable of trapping people, even extremely strong ones, due to its sticky, stretchy nature. They are able to do this to create structures like walls and other large objects that are then hardened. The user is given the ability to create, control, and turn any part of their body into mochi-specifically a thick, extremely viscous, white-colored mochi paste-to manipulate as they please, including its viscosity and stickiness. Katakuri transforming his leg into mochi. The lower part of the fruit is narrow before forming a rounded foot, giving the fruit the appearance that a portion is being pinched off. The Mochi Mochi no Mi is a round fruit with a creamy white color and the typical swirl pattern of all Devil Fruits. Mochimochi ( もちもち, モチモチ, Mochimochi ?) is a Japanese onomatopoeia describing things (like mochi) that are springy, doughy, and chewy in texture.It is traditional Japanese New Year food and otherwise eaten year-round as various confectionery or cooked, savory dishes. ' Mochi' ( 餅, もち, ' Mochi' ?) is a Japanese rice cake made of a short-grain, sticky, glutinous rice (mochigome) that is pounded into paste and molded into desired shapes.
