Hi everyone.
After starting the blog on how many logia could really be in the canon I thought I would address the Mythical Zoan as well. Why? well they are very very tricky.
I know, in the fanon, people go all wild and make a fruit about every creature they have ever heard of but the Canon is quite different. There are many cases where Oda portrays mythical and legendary creatures through indirect means, that implies that they won't be used as actual mythical zoan fruits. Now, I will try to least some of these cases:
- Werewolf is portrayed through Jabra of the CP9. And the idea that they transform with Full Moon is used for the powerful form of the Mink called Sulong.
- Mermaids actually exist as a sperate race.
- So do Giants.
- Pegasus is portrayed through Pierre from Skypiea.
- Minotauros as one of the Mino- beasts in Impel Down.
- The Raijuu is portrayed through the Mink tribe itself. Beasts with electric abilities.
- Medusa and the Gorgons through the Gorgon sisters on Amazon Lily.
- Yeti are actual creatures that appeared on Punk Hazard.
- etc.
This is probably because if he were to used all mythical creatures as Mythical Zoan then they wouldn't be so rare, now would they? So, he uses this method to refer to many of them while only picking the most acknowledged creatures and beings for the Mythical Zoan class. So far we have only seen two fruits (Canon):
- Phoenix: a creature that exists in so many different mythologies
- Buddha: a being that is the center of a real-life (obviously) religion.
Using that same logic, which other creatures from legend and mythology could actually be used as Mythical Zoan?
Please comment your ideas and give some reasons that support them and let's get some brainstorming going!!!!!
