The Kachi Kachi no Mi is a non-canon Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the body of the user to harden and heat up their body at will. It was eaten by Bear King.[1]
Etymology[]
- Kachikachi is the Japanese onomatopoeia for stones knocking against one another to create fire, a reference to the heating up power of the fruit.
- Kachikachi can be the sound effect of something hardening, another reference to the powers of the fruit.
Strengths and Weaknesses[]
This fruit allows the eater to harden the body at will, increasing their defensive capabilities. Not even the drilling power of the King Cannon could break through it, as it was the floor caving in that defeated him. The user can also increase the temperature of their hardened body parts, which can be used to increase damage done to the opponent and resulted in his chair being set ablaze upon contact.[1]
This fruit does not seem to have any other specific weaknesses, aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.
Usage[]
Bear King hardens his body to increase his defenses. Attacks with his hardened body parts also hit harder. By increasing his body temperature, he can burn his opponent upon contact.[1]
- Hot Boiling Special (ホットボーリングスペシャル, Hotto Boiringu Supesharu?): Bear King heats his fist up and punches the enemy.[1] This is called Melting Fist Special in the Manga Entertainment sub, while it retains its name in the BStation sub.
Translation and Dub Issues[]
The Kachi Kachi no Mi is only mentioned in one line, where Bear King says "Thanks to the Kachi Kachi no Mi, my body is as strong as steel!" The Manga Entertainment version of the movie changes this line to "My body is made of steel, you know", removing any mention of the Devil Fruit.
Trivia[]
- The Devil Fruit ability to generate heat appears four more times in the series: the Atsu Atsu no Mi, Gutsu Gutsu no Mi, Netsu Netsu no Mi, and Bana Bana no Mi.
- The power to "harden" the body for both defensive and offensive enhancements is also reminiscent of Armament Haki and the Kira Kira no Mi.
