i still think we're getting an "awakening" chapter where at least some of the KO'd beast pirates get back up and use awakening. i was talking w a friend about why no one on kaidos crew has used it yet if they know how, and i think it makes sense. you just have to use Chopper and Monster Point as a reference more than the impel down mindless zoans.
First off, Queen has no reaction to monster point. He just keeps making fun of Chopper like usual. So nothing about it is really shocking to him.
Second, Oda threw out as an SBS joke that Black Maria would have a normal hybrid mode if not for a drug "like the rumble ball" that let her use different forms. But Oda makes jokes canon pretty often. And combined with the first point, this just means Queen's the one who developed this drug because he's the scientist on Kaido's crew and literally worked with Caesar, the guy who helped Chopper improve the rumble balls. So they should all be fine with using it to force awakening, right?
Well maybe not. Chopper went baby geezer mode after his time limit ran out, and there was always a time limit. It's basically an all or nothing form, where you only use it if you think you can win right after or if someone can protect you afterwards, because it drains all your energy and makes you exhausted/disabled for a while after. Also, before Chopper REALLY figured it out, it was a full berserker mode where it was impossible to tell friend from enemy. Even the Impel Down jailers had to be whipped into line by Sadi-chan, they were also more or less berserkers and attacked the other guards sometimes too iirc. So unless you really know what you're doing, it's uncontrollable.
breaking all this down, i think its possible only Kaido, Queen, and King have the willpower or experience to control awakened form, and they're holding back on it because so far, none of their fights are "serious". Kaido is still having fun, Queen is still making fun of everyone, King is still chilled out and emotionless. Jack is like 20 years younger than them and simply might not have the self control or willpower or experience to control his awakening. With the top guys on the crew pushed more and more to their limit, I think it's almost time for it to happen. Jack will awaken and become an uncontrollable berserker, king and queen will awaken and become big kaiju monsters, and kaido will be porunga from dbz. it makes sense to wait until things are actually desperate to pull out a trump card like this if doing it risks them all actually being down for good once the forum runs out.
maybe kaido himself has a "natural" awakening and everyone else will use Queen's drugs.
I just think there's got to be something else. I don't want to be disappointed by this arc and ive really liked most of it, but if all of these ancient zoans are down for real without pulling something else out of the back pocket, im going to feel like it could have been better. this is the thread for huffing copium and hoping this is just a fake out and we get one more round of "real" fights against the beast pirates as true beasts
