Honestly, blame the awakening expectation on Oda:
- Doflamingo: Uses Awakening, reviving a 5 year old theory on what Awakening actually is in the canon
- Katakuri: Uses it AGAIN, solidifying what Paramecia Awakening's do. People start to guess what Luffy's can do
- Kaido: Fucking nothing, yet Luffy gets not only a Paramecia awakeming, but a Zoan type to complete the transformation
- Lucci/Kaku: For some they have it and not Kaido
But hey at least we got confirmation that zoan awakening is basically new forms.
- Kizaru: To be fair, zero Logia awakenings thus far, but why is the second arc enemy in a row after Doflamingo and Katakuri set the precedent?
- Saturn: Casually whips it out.
Ive never been so confused by a powerbase and what it means lol. Its just silly at this point. And now I feel like Oda didnt do it so Luffy could do it first and surpass Kaido this way. NOW he lets Zoans (Lucci, Kaku and Gorosei) all awaken.
It would not shock me if Akainu is the only logia outside of Blackbeard to awaken anymore, because clearly he takes precedent over certain characters performing certain feats first. Unless Ryokugyuu has already shown it with his weird giant form already.
