Just to add to this too
@Jaguark101 , I feel Diced Mochi HAS to be based on Kaidos kanabo and bagua techniques ofc. I'm sure Katakuri adopted his never fall down, untoppable stance, like an immovable object or a tower that cannot be knocked down from a mixture of Mr Endurance and Stamina King himself Kaido ofc and Whitebeard's legacy of never being scarred/wounded on his back and never retreating from a battle.
Wait, did Whitebeard never run from Rocks/Gods Valley then!? Whitebeard stayed and helped?! Or did he just betray Rocks anyway so it wasn't an issue? LMAO! I don't see Whitebeard as the type to abandon others and maybe he did stay and was the most loyal/honourable one? Was he the right hand of Xebec then too? His most trusted ally?
So much food for thought here.....
Katakuri uses a trident type weapon and tridents are associated with Poseidon/Triton who Whitebeard is based on too....
