Questions & Mysteries Why are people so hellbent on awakening?

#21
Cause it was introduced as taking devil fruits to another stage and we saw how Law and Kido got some interesting boost after awakening their fruits. It makes sense why people would want to see top tiers with awakened fruits

Well, for characters like kaido and big mom I don’t think they didn’t awaken their fruits because they weren’t strong enough or whatever. I think it has to do with the connection between the user and the fruit and also the mind of the user, see kaido and the dragon fruit, the dragon fruit is not for someone of kaido’s mind, it’s more for someone of momo’s mind, a dragon is very honorable and knightish, like older momo. Meanwhile kaido’s mind is evil, cruel, dictatorish. Meanwhile let’s go with doflamingo, he awakened his fruit, why? Because his strings are like puppet strings, are a symbol of controlling someone or something and used to control puppets and things, that’s how Doffy’s mind works, he wants to control everyone, make them hypnotized and manipulated by him. There are some other users, like LLaw, his fruit needs to be used by someone extremely smart and who’s a doctor, like LLaw. If Kid and LLaw swapped fruits they wouldn’t awaken them, because yes their relatively equal in strength (with Kid obviously being stronger) but their personality and mind is key in awakening a fruit

It would be quite weird and bad writing if only a pre selected list of DF
Well that’s oda
It’s honestly quite weird that someone like kaido can’t awaken his fruit while kaku did that in 2 years

if it’s skilled based then kaido should absolutely be someone who can awaken his fruit
He is a very experienced fighter and he knows exactly how awakening works

there is a reason why he is constantly trolled in that panel

maybe the in story reason is that Kaido mind didn't catch up to his DF

But we all know the out story reason that Kaido was already too strong so Oda couldn't give him awakening on top of everything he gave him power level wise

Oda felt short in time. He had to make shanks appear due to film red hence Kaido's FB was also only half a chapter long.
My point is that Kaido isn't some entity with a pre set level of power that exists beyond the reach of Oda's pencil. If he wanted awakening in his skill set, a simple writing adjustment would have done the trick without any need to overall make him any weaker or stronger.

Basically, awakening didn't need to be written as a powerup on top of what he did show in canon. It could have been squeezed in wherever Oda deemed appopriate within his existing power set.

Not every fruit has awakening or can be awakened

ONLY SOME FRUITS CAN BE AWAKENED

And only few people can attain that level to awaken their fruits especially if you're a zoan, you gotta be in sync with your fruit spirit.

It's most likely that most top tiers don't have awakening because their fruits doesn't have anything else beyond : no awakened state.

I sincerely think logia is the fruit class with less awakenings due to the fact logia fruits are already broken, what more can they do beyond doing the most already?
Even Vegapunk said it's hard to clone the fruit. Yet people think this every logia fruit will have awakenings? Lol
While Zoan fruits are dangerous to awaken but the fruit class with more awakenings.
And paramecia fruits demands lots of skills to awaken. Half of paramecia fruits can be awakened while other half cannot be.

Kizaru doesn't have awakening, accept it and move on. Only Akainu might have awakening among Admirals or Fuji, too.
Kaido couldn't because the fruit spirit and his character don't match
Linlin may have used it or just that her fruit doesn't have awakening at all.
WB didn't have awakening
Teach may be the only Yonko beside Luffy with awakenings.

This is why only a few top tiers have awakening : Gorosei and Luffy, and suprisedly, they're all zoans.
Loki if he has a zoan fruit , he will also have awakening cause it's easier to awaken even though it's dangerous.

Gorosei dont have devil fruits
