@Taeviri I see what you mean but I still think Katakuri can create new mochi: that's why he was able to expand his fist into the size bigger than Elephant gun as well as creating multiple fists and earplus. He did those without using his awakened ability. But yes, I'm glad we both agree that he can transform into Mochi.

@LoriasGS That was literally the same point I was making; trying to get it through @A FANDOM user's head LOL  Also a good point out on how Oda changed it from being a logia to  a special paramecia; further solidifying the properties of this fruit. But the way I see it is that his DF has the same properties as a logia: normal attacks will pass through him even if he doesnt dodge. just like it would with a logia user; as long as he transforms into mochi but he has to actively seek out and dodge haki attacks.
