Talk:Mochi Mochi no Mi

Nature
I believe there should be a note on the page mentioning that though the final product of Mochi is man-made, the process of turning rice into a sticky gelatinous substance is still a natural phenomena. 24.216.95.51 04:54, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

I don't think that's the case, this is possibly just "Syrup" which is found naturally on some trees and is used for a myriad of things.  Red Riding Hood赤いず乗りきん頭巾   (Speaketh ) 02:11, June 3, 2017 (UTC)

Type
So apparently its been retconned Paramecia. It was moved in Template:Devil Fruits Navibox, removed from Logia, added to Paramecia, and Charlotte Katakuri was added to Template:Paramecia Users Gallery. So why is it's page protected while it still listed as a Logia? Rhavkin (talk) 14:07, August 3, 2017 (UTC)

Never mind. Awaikage fixed it. Rhavkin (talk) 14:10, August 3, 2017 (UTC)

So even though it's apparently a paramecia, the word logia is still used in reference to it in the article. The page is locked so someone should probably fix that. Rrmcklin (talk) 20:18, August 3, 2017 (UTC)

Are we sure it's still a Paramecia? He had holes in his body in chapter 884. 21:57, November 3, 2017 (UTC)

Yes, the volume still says "special Paramecia." Until that changes, there's no discussion to be had regarding its typing. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 22:30, November 3, 2017 (UTC)

Haki Not Effected
Could Haki be useless against Katakuri since in chapter 877 Luffy used Hawk Gatling and was still transformed into mochi?-- 4th Six Paths (talk) 00:48, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

Maybe he just used his own Haki to nullify Luffy's. Law and Akainu have done that beforehand.  Red Riding Hood赤いず乗りきん頭巾</rt> </rp>  (<font color="Black" face="Algerian">Speaketh ) 15:01, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

Also are we sure Luffy used haki with that move? 15:36, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

Hawk Gatling is Jet Gatling + Haki. 15:50, September 4, 2017 (UTC)


 * I agree that Hawk techniques have Haki, but Luffy has used hardened Jet Gatling twice without calling it Hawk though (681, 875). Dragonus Nesha (talk) 16:02, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

Willow Mochi Name Origin
I'm not a user on this site, so feel free to delete this. I just wanted to add a bit of information about the Willow Mochi attack. The name is in fact based on a type of mochi confectionary that's sold at the Sapporo Station in Sapporo, Hokkaido, that has existed since the Meiji period, having been sold at the station for over a century now. If you google "willow mochi hokkaido" the first link will take you to a site where it's explained. So if anyone authorized to edit this page would add that, since the other attacks' name origins have also been explained, which is nice, that'd be cool.

He Cannot Transform
The chapter Kaido said to look at said nothing at all about him transforming like a Paramecia. He would be like Trebol except more advanced due to the awakening. Oda already established the rules years before Katakuri was ever introduced. Only Logia users can literally transform and they are deprived from nature. SeaTerror (talk) 17:17, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

He transforms into mochi like a Logia. Just look at the latest chapter where he shoots his arm and reforms it. Oda said way back in SBS 35 that there's also some Paramecia that can change their body. Mochi isn't natural which is why he's a 'special' Paramecia. 17:34, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

Oda didn't say "transform like a Logia" in that SBS. Almost all Paramecia change their bodies into whatever their ability is. The Gomu Gomu no Mi changed his body into rubber but obviously isn't a Logia. SeaTerror (talk)

Bottom two panels. That is straight-up transformation with no solid evidence for anything else. Awakening has nothing to do with it because Katakuri's awakening is turning his surroundings into mochi. And Luffy keeps his body composition as he stretches, he doesn't transform into straight rubber like Katakuri is doing in that chapter. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 20:55, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

It changes their body structures for those kind of Paramecia. Examples of ones that don't are Noro Noro no Mi and Chiyu Chiyu no Mi. Also Baby 5 also "transforms". Katakuri has never been stated to actually transform and Oda's precedence has said otherwise. SeaTerror (talk) 21:25, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

Katakuri: "You're right. I transform to dodge your attacks efficiently." Chapter 884. Stated. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 21:35, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

If you go by that logic then it was his Haki since Luffy mentioned his Haki specifically before that line. SeaTerror (talk) 04:23, February 15, 2018 (UTC)

So you think that Haki can allow him to transform but his Devil Fruit can't? Because of what different precedent? You still haven't answered how him literally becoming a blob of mochi and moving along the ground isn't transformation - if his body's composition changes into that element, that IS transformation. I'm not sure what you're trying to say about Baby 5, because her DF's article says she can change parts of her body into weapons which is exactly the same thing with slightly different wording. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 01:24, February 23, 2018 (UTC)

It might be possible that Katakuri's Mochi is more like Luffy's rubber than we would normally think. By that, I mean, Luffy's body has got the properties of rubber... it isn't rubber, what if Kata's got the properties of Mochi? It wasn't outright stated, since we don't know much about special paramecias yet, but since he can't do it like a Logia, I see this as the only explanation.

Also, for the Haki thing, Kata uses his Haki just to predict the movements and MOLD his body accordingly, substituting the molded parts with pure mochi to make it seem like he as hit. <font color="Crimson" face="Copperplate Gothic Bold"> Red Riding Hood</rb></rp>赤いず乗りきん頭巾</rt> </rp>  (<font color="Black" face="Algerian">Speaketh )  02:27, February 23, 2018 (UTC)

Zan Giri Mochi
I re-read the chapter and noticed that when Katakuri uses Zan Giri Mochi, the ground underneath him also turns into mochi so I'm assuming he uses it to further increases his speed whilst spinning towards his opponents. https://img.mangastream.com/cdn/manga/51/4897/0009.png

So I went ahead and added it.
