Isn't Kata technically a Logia, like even though the nomenclature was changed his powers wasn't right?
So wouldn't you agree that he represents how Logia awakening would look like? Specifically Flowing Mochi, Peerless Donuts etc,.
Well, He's special paramecia
Awakened Paramecia become ike logia by manipulating the environment
While awakened Logia becomes like Zoans (having a form )?? Or maybe it just boost their df skills
Awakened Zoans get a new form which affect their bodies only.
Unless you're a special mythical zoan like Luffy : having paramecia and zoan powers.
