Mogura

Mogura is the name of the trident used by Charlotte Katakuri.

Description
Mogura is a trident, with its three prongs tightly together. The middle prong is a full spear-shape, while the two on the sides are half-blades. Katakuri keeps the spear in his body via his Mochi Mochi no Mi when not in use.

Usage
Katakuri has shown tremendous skill with his trident, using it in conjunction with his Mochi Mochi no Mi powers. He can twist his arm with his powers to deliver a powerful drilling thrust, capable of creating deep holes in walls and shattering thick pillars, and cause a fatal wound to a human body.

Techniques

 * Mochi Tsuki (モチ突 (ツキ)): Katakuri compresses his mochi arm by twisting it tightly, and then unleashes it while thrusting Mogura forward, creating a powerful drilling stab that can shatter the ground and various structures. He can also use his immense mastery of Kenbunshoku Haki to predict his opponent's moves and aim at where they attempt to dodge. It was first seen used against Monkey D. Luffy, who barely dodged it. It was later used against Luffy successfully, and created a massive, gaping wound on the side of his torso. This is called Mochi Thrust in the Viz Manga. The name of this technique is pun with mochitsuki (餅搗き), a traditional ceremony to make mochi.

Anime and Manga Differences
In the anime, Mogura has a different design. Its side diamond shaped prongs are more triangular with curve edges and its middle one is slimmer. While the manga depiction shows the three prongs spreading out, the anime version seems to point inward. The three prongs connection point is lower in the anime, and the side prongs extend backward below the base of the blade. The base of the blade itself resembles four rings in the manga, while it is egg shaped in the anime. It seems to have all three prongs in the same color in the manga, while the anime has the side prongs black with a silver edge, similar to a sword. In Episode 832, the spear appears to match the manga version.

Trivia

 * Another pronunciation for the kanji is moguramochi, which might be a pun on the wielder's Devil Fruit power.
