No but you’re saying he has no reason to be in awakening. He also doesn’t have any reason to use his fruit. So it’s a moot point, he’s already being unnecessary from the get-go. Oda is showing off his fruit and the very identical design that zoan awakenings have. That’s the purpose.
You have to explain, how and why beyond a show - of moment (for whatever reason Oda should do that) is it reasonable to believe that Killingham remains in a state, meant as power up - that puts a strain on the user, for entirity of the Elbaph Arc since his introduction.
No, I think you’re just hung up on trying to put a very clear cut visual design through layers of skepticism because you dislike the Knights of God.
Luffy has stamina issues, Lucci & Kaku displayed none of those.
Kidd/Law had stamina issues as a recently awakened fruit users, Katakuri seemingly had none of those.
the idea Killingham can’t be awakened because he should have the same draw backs as Luffy, to me, is a leap.
I don't even benefit from that.
Killingham is a confirmed bum, so if he would be awakened and still a bum, that would actually help me lol.
I mean… I don’t know the significance of the colors of the Hagoromo, Luffy could be the only character to ever have a white one we see. Considering we have very few examples of awakened zoans, I’m not going to make that verdict though.
it’s possible mythical zoans that are awakened have the white Hagoromo. Not saying it is but that’s one thing we can’t say until we get more verifiable zoans either way
Ultimately Oda hasn't fully elaborated on the concept of Zoan Awakening and on top we have examples of characters with White Hagomoros , that haven't been awakened at that time (G4 Luffy) or confirmed to be just a design choice (Yamato), so just saying the White Hagomoro itself isn't proof at all for Killingham to be awakened Tac, no bias at all here.
Besides that:
Shaka made a generalizing statement about the Awakening of a Zoan user usually overwhelming it's User, with that in mind, it makes sense you don't see Kaku, Lucci or any other awakened Zoan user running around 24/7 in that state:
And Killingham hasn't received any specific portrayal of a rare specimen that surpasses even Lucci in that regard, to pretend he mastered Awakening, that he can just use it 24/7 to flex.
It's the exact opposite really, Shanks remarked how CD's are usually bums, God Valley etablished HK hunt for innocent weaklings and Elbaph etablished they relie on Imu's powers for the most part.
Doub't we'll ever find out by Killingham himself, especially with Omen in play, but if it still turns Out Killingham has been awakened all along it's all fine.
