Hito Hito no Mi

The Hito Hito no Mi is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a human hybrid and a full human at will. "Hito" is Japanese for "Human". In the English versions, it is called the Human-Human Fruit. It was eaten by Tony Tony Chopper.

Strengths and Weaknesses
By consuming the fruit, Chopper has been given human intelligence, allowing him to understand and communicate in human language. The fruit has also given Chopper the ability to perceive concepts such as medicine that a reindeer would not comprehend. It also allows him to transform into human/reindeer hybrid forms.

The fruit is further strengthened by the use of the Rumble Ball. This drug allows Chopper to access other forms of varying human and reindeer proportions. The Rumble Ball however is not a thing that should be applied as the consequences to the powers of the fruit and the user himself can be quite disastrous.

The major weakness of the fruit, in the case of Chopper, is that the forms it gives him do not outright resemble humans and are often mistaken for something else. Examples include his human form being mistaken for a gorilla and his human hybrid form being mistaken for a tanuki. This is what originally alienated Chopper from both deer and humans alike. However, despite this, one advantage of this is that Chopper can easily hide from enemies while in a form they have not seen before. Other than that, the user is susceptible to standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
The powers of the fruit have been used by Chopper for a variety of ways. Chopper mostly uses them in order to interact and understand humans. He has used them to a point that he is able to talk human whilst in his normal animal form. In the midst of battle, Chopper has also used his Devil Fruit powers in order to fight enemies with the strength given by the Devil Fruit. With the Rumble Ball he developed, Chopper can further use his Devil Fruit powers to an extent unlike most other Zoan Devil Fruit users.

According to Chopper, during the two years of his absence, he has completely improved all his transformations. Furthermore, he only needs the Rumble Ball to access one transformation point, his previously uncontrollable Monster Point. He can now freely transform into any of his other six forms (seven before the timeskip). Chopper still used the Rumble Ball to transform into Guard Point when they first encountered the Kraken in the manga, though this was corrected in the anime when he transformed into Guard Point without using a Rumble Ball. In an SBS, Oda jokingly stated that Chopper had actually eaten a Rumble Ball Candy in the manga, confirming that it was an error.



Transformations
Normal Transformations = Like all Zoan Devil Fruit users, Chopper possesses the ability to turn into three forms. These forms are called Walk Point, his normal form, Brain Point, his human hybrid form, and Heavy Point, his human form.

Former Rumble Ball Transformations =

Along with his normal forms, Chopper has added on to these by use of the Rumble Ball. This yellow jawbreaker-like drug gives him several more transformations for three minutes by "distorting the wavelengths of transformation".These forms are most effective in battle against difficult enemies.

While Chopper gains an edge in battle with these forms and the Rumble Ball, the number of the Rumble Balls Chopper can take in under six hours must be carefully monitored. If Chopper takes two under six hours, he cannot control which form he will become when he transforms. If he takes three, Chopper turns into a deadly form to both himself and others around him.

As of part two of the series, Chopper only needs to use the Rumble Ball for his "Monster Point".

Trivia

 * In a response to a fan who was slightly confused on how Chopper was clinching his hooves in a fist, Oda showed how Chopper would perform Rock, Paper, and Scissors with his hands. His first drawing showed how Chopper would normally perform the said actions with normal human hands. The second one however showed how Chopper would do them with his hooves.
 * In a response to a fan who wondered exactly how Chopper holds things while in Brain Point, Oda showed how he does it through some simple drawings as shown above.


 * The hybrid form of humans who eat a Zoan Devil Fruit is the largest one, larger than both natural and fully transformed forms. However, in the case of Chopper, it is the opposite; the hybrid form is smaller than the other two.
 * Chopper in his Monster Point is similar to that of Dr. Henry Jekyl and Mr. Edward Hyde. In both cases the doctor (Chopper and Jekyl) ingest a medicine they themselves have invented and transforms into a monster (Monster Point) and/or goes insane (Hyde). Also, in both cases, after waking up after the medicine wears off, neither remember what they've done while going berserk.
 * Chopper's Arm Point has different feet in the anime. When Chopper uses Arm Point on Drum Island in the manga, Chopper's feet are never actually shown, so in the anime, his feet are drawn in as reindeer hooves from then on. However later in the manga in Skypiea, long after the Drum Island Arc was animated, it is shown that his feet should be human.
 * If the Hito Hito no Mi was eaten by a human, it would not give the user any abilities as they are already the same species as the fruit's power other than enlightenment.
 * For some reason, whenever Chopper's Devil Fruit is negated through means such as seawater, instead of reverting to his reindeer form, he goes into his hybrid form, which exists only due to the Hito Hito no Mi's presence.
 * Although Chopper shouldn't eat more than one Rumble Ball within six hours, in the filler part of the Davy Back Fight he took two right after another in the "Hit and Deadball" game. Thus, this is one of the plotholes Toei created. However because this was done before Oda got to that part in the manga, they had no way of knowing.
 * It's currently unknown if Chopper can now use his Scope ability while in Brain Point, without the use of a Rumble Ball, because as he stated himself his improved all of his transformations after the timeskip, that would include his hybrid form as well, and only needs the drug for Monster Point.
 * The Hito Hito no Mi has the most techniques of the Zoan that came from the Devil Fruit itself.
