Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Bison

The Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Bison is a Zoan type Devil Fruit that allows a person to transform into both a bison-human hybrid and a full bison ("Ushi" means cow or ox in Japanese). This fruit is one of many Ushi Ushi Fruit models found in the One Piece world.

In the 4Kids dub, this fruit is simply called the Ox-Ox Fruit, while the Viz Manga calls it the Ox-Ox Fruit, Bison Model and the FUNimation dub calls it Ox-Ox Fruit, Bison Form.

The Ushi Ushi Fruit was consumed by Dalton of the former Drum Kingdom.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The major strength this fruit grants, as demonstrated by Dalton, is that the user is granted enhanced physical capabilities in both his hybrid and animal form, similar to a real bison's or even more. Speed, in particular, and strangely enough, seems to augment to an incredible degree, where the user is able to travel at such a speed that it leaves afterimages of himself behind him.

Usage
This fruit's added physical capabilities allowed the user to become much more deadly when fighting. Dalton has used the fruit's powers primarily for combat purposes.


 * Fiddle Banff (フィドル突撃（バンフ） Fiddle Assault): A technique in which Dalton transforms into his bison-human hybrid form and uses his weapon in an incredibly fast and strong attack. In the Viz Manga and FUNimation dub, this is called Fiddle Bam. This was first used on some of Wapol's soldiers.

Translation and Dub Issues
In the 4Kids dub of the anime, the fruit's name was changed to Ox-Ox Fruit in order to cater to an English-speaking audience. While this is technically correct, due to the lack of any words suggesting otherwise, the name in the 4Kids dub technically implies that Dalton turns into an ox instead of a bison. While the words "ox" and "bison" can sometimes be interchangeable, they usually refer to two different breeds of bovine. The Viz Manga and FUNimation dub avoid confusion by calling it the Ox-Ox Fruit, Bison Model and Ox-Ox Fruit, Bison Form, respectively.

Trivia

 * This Devil Fruit ability was never seen or mentioned during the Episode of Chopper Plus film.
