I think she awakened her devil fruit the moment she said "I am gonna defend land of Wano". The will of her and the fruit aligned. And i believed she's the only person who awakened the devil fruit within a short span from start using it.
People have been saying she's a Kirin, but I think she's a Kitsune. Kirin are goat-like, with a horn. Yamato's hybrid form has sharp teeth, no horn and paws. Plus I THINK her outfit looks a little like Renamon's higher forms in Digimon. Renamon was definitely based on Kitsune. Plus Kitsune (the good ones) were temple guardians, and Yamato goes on about being the guardian of Wano...
His DF is the Dog-Dog Fruit - Mythical Model: Okuchi-no-Makami. In real life, the Okuchi no Makami is a deified version of the now-extinct Japanese gray wolf. Here in One Piece, it is treated as the guardian deity of the Land of Wano. Her streamlined appearance in her hybrid form may be the result of an awakening, but we don't truly know.
I would recommend playing Ōkami the sun goddess Amaterasu prancing around as a white wolf Yamato being the opposite of ice doggo is pretty cool and funny
It’s because Yamato is literally canonically female. It’s on her Vivre card. But she loved Oden and his legacy so much that she took on his persona and identified as Kaido’s son
It's apparently a more Masculine way of speaking and it's something that is very common with Male Tomboy Characters in anime. Kind of how a Female delinquent will speak to sound more intimidating and tough.
In a recent chapter, the ring around the shoulders may be an indication of an Awakened Zoan whose mind wasn't overtaken by the animal side. We see a normal Zoan confirmed by their allies to be in an Awakened state, and they have the ring. So people have been looking back to find others.
The smoke indicates that they still retain their own mind without being overtaken by their Zoan devil fruit’s spirit, unlike awakened dudes in imple down.
@@YFDXD including yamato there are a total of i believe 4 awakened zoan users and they all have some sort of smoke around them when they're in their zoan forms (two are from the manga but if you want to know more about them I'll tell you) while the awakened zoan people from impel down have no such smoke which may be a design thing but who knows
She must have been able to use her DF with the cuffs on since she was able to fight so well with the cuffs. Basically if your cuffed long enough it won’t be able limit you as much over time.
So kaidou still alive cause his awaken form not yet release cause theres no cloud around him, either yamato luccy kaku gorosei, even stupid non zoan user bonney 😂😂had it Possible kaidou will join luffy side next time😂😂😂
I get the feeling from oda's writing that yamato probably doesn't give a fuck whether people call him a her or a he. I feel like he doesn't feel disphoria and acknowledges that his body is technically feminine, but characters who know him on a deeper level would know he identies more with male pronouns. It doesn't matter if at first it was manipulation from his father, he's made it a part of his identity. He owns it now.
It was never a manipulation from kaido tho. Yamato before she started calling herself Oden was called oni-princess. If kaido really was trying to manipulate her into being a male, his crew too would have treated her like a male instead of a female by calling her oni-princess. After she started calling herself Oden, she started calling herself son of kaido and kaido and his crew simply respected or just didn't care about that decision hence started treating her like a male after that.
