Powers & Abilities Loki still has an awakened form up his sleeve?

[Monkey D Theories]

This may or may not be a mistranslation

But this is referred to as the “second hybrid form”. This seems to suggest there is another hybrid form we are yet to see.

My guess is that Loki has an awakening he is yet to reveal. Given how destructive his DF is, he is likely hesitant to use it, as he knows if he loses control he could destroy everything.

This could possibly be why Shanks vs Loki happened. Loki used awakening, lost control, and Shanks needed to stop him.

I think Loki will use it and lose control, giving us a true Nika and Nidhogg vs Imu fight.

 

[BattalGazi]

Also this form looks really lame, i wonder what happened to the first form.

 

[TheD.]

I doubt shanks stopped a berserker awakened loki

Would make no sense

Loki didn’t even start using hybrid against Imu until now and he thinks Imus the strongest guy he’s ever met.

Loki probably underestimated shanks when they fought and only used his base form.

Well, since Loki still doesn't have a Awakening Ribbon around him, we still haven't seen him Awaken his Fruit yet. If he even has, before this. Maybe being pushed this far by Imu will finally get him to unlock his Awakening?

Although, there is a panel in Chapter 1170 that looks like Loki's "First Hybrid Form" may have had a Awakening Ribbon around him, but it's hard to say.

(Chapter 1170)

Is that just fire in the foreground, or is that part of a Awakening Ribbon? It's very curiously shaped fire, at least.

Maybe the idea is that because Loki is still partially hiding his face, he still isn't at his most "free"? He's taken off his blindfold, but he's still partially hiding his face with his helmet. Maybe he can only unlock his true power when he finally shows his face to all of Elbaph? Special eyes and all.

Or maybe the reason Loki isn't using his First Hybrid Form is because he still has some trauma from killing Harald?

So, yeah, Oda still seems to be hiding this "Dragon-headed" First Hybrid Form from us, the one that Loki used to fight Harald. He sure is taking his time building this up, for some reason.

 

[Cruxroux]

At this point just kill him already if he has awakening under his belt 😭😭🥀🥀.

What was bro thinking pulling in base to fight Imu?

 

[Luffy is the mc]

Yeah sure. Oda is all about that Nika now buddy. He ruined his own story.

 

[sanjikun]

There was speculation that 1/2 of Kaido's hybrid forms was his awakening, considering he was actually explaining awakening and was well acquainted with Zooan vs. Paramecia Zooans.

So yeah it might be.

Could be a Law/Kid thing, where they "can also use it for a short amount of time".

Holy shit good job pointing that out


a big theme this arc is about “understanding yourself”

Luffy needs to understand that he’s the next nika,zoro needed understand that he has acoc,sanji needed to understand people care about him and he should love himself more instead of putting his body on the line alit

now for last but not least Loki needs to love hismelf and take the blindfold off, Loki may show a tough macho outer appearance but his mom doing what she did to him as a baby really did fuck him up mentally (as it would anyone)


that is some incredible writing from Oda if this is true.

 

[Elder Lee Hung]

Loki already awakening Nidhoggr 30 seconds after eating the fruit would just be bizzare imo. Not impossible but I don’t think this moment points toward awakening.

 

[nik87]

Regardless of which form he has up his sleeve, he remains Elbaf's Yamato.

Same for me too


his eyes however could explain this.

Very unique situation goin on here


Loki already had niddhog esque features before eating the fruit,maybe the df functions differently for him

 

[ElderOnitar]

Just multiple hybrids, like killingham.
