As you can read in the title, in my opinion Oda completely failed to demonstrate the Logia ability of an admiral. The Pika Pika no Mi is one of the most special Logia that could bring with it so much potential and variety of abilities. He didn't manage to draw a good fight between Luffy (Yonkou) vs Kizaru (Admiral).
The sad thing is that with a bit of imagination he could have easily managed it. I don't need to mention how lackluster the fight with Luffy vs Kizaru was. In the whole fight Kizaru acted like a pacifista, only twice did we see the potential of his light logia, once when he used the speed to kick Snakeman away. The other time when he created light clones of himself that attacked Luffy. But that was it, in the rest of the fight he acted like a Pacifista...we could hardly see any variations of his Pika Pika no Mi.
Speed is power:
Clone light army:
As you can see from the pictures above, the abilities looked promising, they gave us an insight into the ability of his Light Logia. This shows the potential of his fruit. But unfortunately after these scenes Oda stopped giving Kizaru a good fighting style. He got much more out of much weaker "Logia", for example when I look at what he did with Katakuri's fruit, fucking Mochi...
To show how versatile Katakuri was with his "Logia"
Could create several armies and use them to physically attack Luffy, a Gatling version:
Could copy Luffy G3:
Could use his df in combination to push his attack power with his weapon:
Could turn the ground and surroundings into mochi thanks to awakening and thus make Luffy's movement detrimental:
Buried Luffy with Mochi:
Could create flying donuts with his awakened mochi fruit and teleport and attack with these fists, a very hax ability for defense and offense:
He heated up his fist and fired it like a projectile:
Enlarged his arm and attacked in combo with awakening:
t's just fascinating to see what Oda created with just a Mochi ability. Katakuri was versatile, had so many different abilities and skills, even though he "only" had the Mochi devil fruit. Compare this with the portrayal of Kizaru and his Pika Pika No Mi.
The Pika Pika No Mi has so much potential but was portrayed far worse than the fucking Mochi devil fruit. And that's sad, the Light logia is one of the most interesting fruits ever, Kizaru has had this fruit for a very long time. But he is portrayed like a Pacifista here, even though he is an admiral and top tier.
It is sad how little ideas Oda had when it came to the Pika Pika no Mi and I am also skeptical whether he will portray his awakening well with everything he has done so far. My biggest concern is that he will skip his awakening like with Big Mom. So far, it is very weak how unkindly Oda treats characters like Kizaru, especially his devil fruit...
What do you think of the portrayal of his fruit so far? Are you as disappointed as I am?
