Katakuri, Kaku & Lucci do not have any visible stamina issues or statements.
paramecia Awakening's bare No meaning to our debate since they don't come with the same pre-requirement and work fundamentally different.
The Zoan's nature that usually overwhelms the user (MP Chopper) doesn't just vanish, Lucci and Kaku are simply in control and yet they don't run around with it 24/7.
Considering that the Knights of God have gotten 2x power ups better than awakening this arc, so it’s entirely reasonable to assume he starts with that or shows it off (as that’s what it appears) with higher power ups waiting.
What has that to do with each other? Especially when the PU is outsourced lol.
That's no explanation for how and why Killingham should be capable of doing what no other Zoan user has done yet..
Well it’s a visual manga and his Hagoromo looks identical to awakenings. We have evidence Yamato isn’t, so we need that for Killingham to say he isn’t awakened. Oda draws him that way and we don’t have anything to suggest otherwise.
so far we’ve seen 3 types of these hagoramos too, Omen, Awakening & Yamato’s so the verdict right now is between a special case Oda verified in Vc (Yamato) or what were seen 3x times (awakening).
Indeed, you answered yourself.
We have 3 different cases distributed between 5 different characters and a concept that hasn't been elaborated on by the author - case closed.
From here it's just arguing about what you want Killingham to be/have instead of admitting we have to wait and see.
