Talk:Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu

Name
If the mangaplus translation is correct, Linlin said "I gave you that legendary model of the Fish Fish fruit", which means that Kaido's fruit is not the Fish Fish fruit, but rather an unknown model of the Fish Fish fruit. Can someone check the raw?

In the raw it is Uo Uo no Mi no Genjūshu meaning "Mythical Type of the Fish-Fish Fruit". So while that does suggest this fruit is an unknown model, it doesn't really confirm it. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 20:09, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

I think that if "Genjūshu" is the same word used for the other mythical models, then there should be no doubt. I mean, what else could it mean "Mythical Type of the Fish-Fish Fruit"? It literally says that it's a type of the Fish Fish fruit, so while there might be out there a standard Fish Fish fruit, it isn't Kaido's fruit. The word "type" wouldn't be casually used there. We are claiming that Kaido's fruit is called Fish-Fish Fruit, which I think there is no evidence for it. I'm not suggesting to remove the page, but we should specify that we are talking about an unknown type.

Mythical is a type of Zoan. There is nothing saying Zoans without a "model" specification cannot be mythical. If the word "model" (モデル) isn't used in the raw, we can't draw any conclusions. 21:03, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

My take is it is the same when Nekomamushi says Jack's fruit is an ancient model of zo zo no mi that means kaido's fruit have a model we just dont know it yet since mama didn't mention it yet but clearly it is not the base form of the fruit.This could be cleared but next chapter or when Kaido's Vivre Card comes out. 01:24, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Aquatic Zoan
The Trivia section says that this is the only aquatic Zoan, but the Sara-Sara Fruit, Model: Axolotl would also qualify, as axolotl are fully aquatic salamanders. I suppose one could argue that the Sara-Sara Fruit as a whole isn't aquatic, as other models would likely be terrestrial, but the Axolotl Model would definitely be an aquatic Devil Fruit. I propose the section be rewritten to be more along the lines of "this is the second Devil Fruit to be named after an aquatic species, the first being the Sara Sara no Mi, Model: Axolotl, a fully aquatic species of salamander. However, as there are likely other models of the Sara Sara no Mi based on terrestrial salamanders, the Uo Uo no Mi can be said to be the first Devil Fruit exclusively named after an aquatic species."

Trivia information on Kaido's Devil Fruit
I wanted to point out that since Chapter 999, came out and we learned that Kaido's Devil Fruit is the Uo Uo no Mi, it shares similarities with a story in Chinese mythology. The story goes, "An ancient tale tells of a huge school of golden koi swimming upstream the Yellow River in China. Gaining strength by fighting against the current, the school glimmered as they swam together through the river. When they reached a waterfall at the end of the river, many of the koi turned back, letting the flow of the river carry them away. The remaining koi refused to give up. Leaping from the depths of the river, they attempted to reach the top of the waterfall to no avail. Their efforts caught the attention of local demons, who mocked their efforts and heightened the waterfall out of malice. After a hundred years of jumping, one koi finally reached the top of the waterfall. The gods recognized the koi for its perseverance and determination and turned it into a golden dragon, the image of power and strength." This shares similarities with the Wano Arc, as one of the ways to enter Wano is to tether a ship to one of the giant koi, which will swim up the waterfall borders. We know that Kaido's Devil Fruit is the Uo Uo no Mi (Fish-Fish Fruit) yet he's able to take the form of an Eastern Dragon. I'm not saying that Kaido was transformed into a dragon, just that with the current information in the Wano Arc, it shares similarities and should be worth putting into the trivia part of Kaido's Devil Fruit. I'll provide a link to the website which provides the details of the legend below. https://koistory.com/blog/koi-fish-meaning-and-myth Zachary1969 (talk) 03:29, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
