Encyclopedia > Devil Fruit

A Devil Fruit (悪魔の実 Akuma no Mi?) is a fictional fruit from the manga and anime series of One Piece by Eiichiro Oda. They are known as the Cursed Fruit in the edited English TV dub. The following is a complete list of Devil Fruits shown in the One Piece series. ... This article is about the comics published in East Asian countries. ... Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump Shonen Jump Original run August 4, 1996 – (ongoing) Volumes 47 volumes with 479 chapters TV anime Director Konosuke Uda Munehisa Sakai Studio Toei Animation Network Fuji TV GMA 7 Original run October 20, 1999 – (ongoing) Episodes Japanese: 332 of 334 (current) English: 112 of 113... Eiichiro Oda , born January 1, 1975 in Kumamoto, Kumamoto) is a Japanese manga artist, best known as the creator of the manga and anime One Piece. ...


Devil Fruit are said to be the fruit of the Sea Devil and that the secret to their power is hidden in the Grand Line. Because encounters with them are rare (especially outside the Grand Line) a number of rumors about them have risen making it difficult to tell whether some things are fact or fiction. The average person knows nothing or very little about what they are. Whoever eats a Devil Fruit will be unable to swim ever again. The Grand Line (written in Japanese as 偉大なる海路 Idai Naru Kairo, literally Grand Sea Route, but pronounced Gurando Rain) is a fictional location in the anime and manga One Piece. ...

Overview

The Devil Fruit, when consumed, gives the consumer a power or special trait. There are more than 100 types of Devil Fruit, [1] they come in different shapes, colors, and all Devil Fruits have swirl marks on them of some kind [2]. There can be only one of each type of fruit. Only one bite is needed for the user to gain the power of a Devil Fruit, after which the Devil Fruit becomes a simple, useless, disgusting fruit. Swallowing the fruit whole, as Buggy did, has the same effect. There have also been inanimate objects that have gained the power of Devil Fruits because of Dr. Vegapunk, such as Lassoo the dog/gun and Funkfreed the elephant/sword. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...


While the storyline hasn't revealed it, there seems to be certain ways of telling what powers a Devil Fruit will grant. Shanks and his crew already knew Luffy's Devil Fruit was the Gomu Gomu no Mi (Gum Gum Fruit in English versions) before he consumed it. Spandam mentions that the Devil Fruits he supplied to Kaku and Kalifa were not listed in any catalogs anywhere as to what powers they granted. He also mentions briefly that Devil Fruits have an aura around them which can often help identify them and that the two Devil Fruits he had contained an unknown aura. Another example is Marshall D. Teach, telling Portgas D. Ace in chapter 440 that he had memorized the shape of "every fruit in the book", thus knowing whom he needed to kill to acquire the power he sought. In chapter 464, Sanji stated that, as a boy, he read a book listing different devil fruits and their powers. In a recent SBS question, Oda revealed that all Devil Fruits are in a book somewhere in the Grand Line. Blackbeard is a fictional character in the anime and manga series One Piece. ... Portgas D. Ace , Portgaz D. Trace in the 4Kids version of the anime, Ace in the Funimation version) is the older brother of Monkey D. Luffy. ...


In the original two pilots of One Piece, Luffy's Devil Fruit power, the Gomu Gomu no Mi, was the power of the Gomu Gomu tree that grew once every 50 years and there were no signs there existed other powers. Romance Dawn refers to three separate, pirate-themed manga chapters drawn by artist Eiichiro Oda between 1996 and 1997, culminating in the first chapter of the ongoing series One Piece. ...


Many of the fruit names come from Japanese onomatopoeia and Japanese vocabulary. For the supervillain, see Onomatopoeia (comics). ...


Side Effects of Devil Fruit

With this new power comes a weakness: the sea rejects the new Devil Fruit user and they become helpless while submerged in water (or "becomes a hammer," in Japanese parlance). Oda stated in SBS that Devil Fruit users are susceptible to all types of water, not just seawater. He elaborated on this, saying that "moving" water, like rain or waves, does not weaken Devil Fruit users, while standing water does. If a user is not completely submerged, they can still use their powers from the parts of their body that are above the water. This was demonstrated by Kalifa, who was still able to produce bubbles from the parts of her body that were not under her bath water (although, as stated by Nami, this had effectively cut her strength in half while in the water). However, if the user's body has been permanently altered by the fruit, then the user's ability can be manipulated by outside sources; i.e., when Luffy was knocked into the pool at Arlong Park, other people dove underwater and stretched his neck so his head would be above water. Being weak against the sea proves deadly to many Devil Fruit users who are pirates sailing the Grand Line. “Sea Train” redirects here. ...


One rumor, as recounted by Cipher Pol's Jyabura, is that Devil Fruit house actual devils that will fight when placed in proximity of one another. The resulting battle would destroy the users' bodies. Nevertheless, Blueno contradicted this claim, stating that Grand Line scientists have noted that the phenomenon of one's body destroying itself only occurs when one consumes two Devil Fruits. Cipher Pol (サイファーポール, Saifāru pōru) is an organization in the popular manga and anime series One Piece. ...

Cipher Pol (サイファーポール, Saifāru pōru) is an organization in the popular manga and anime series One Piece. ...


Devil Fruit powers can be canceled by Seastone or Blackbeard's nullifying powers. “Sea Train” redirects here. ...


Doctor Vegapunk, a Navy Scientist, has researched the effects of Devil Fruit and seastone heavily. He also devised the method that lets an object (such as a gun or a sword) merge with a Devil Fruit.


Types of Devil Fruits

Currently, 51 Devil Fruits are known (anime, manga, filler, and game). There are no two identical Devil Fruits in the world. There are three different types of Devil Fruits: Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia. For information on a specific Devil Fruit, see List of Devil Fruits. ... For information on a specific Devil Fruit, see List of Devil Fruits. ... For information on a specific Devil Fruit, see List of Devil Fruits. ...


Paramecia-type

Further information: List of Devil Fruits#Paramecia Fruits

Paramecia-type (超人系 Chōjin-kei, read as Paramishia?), known as Paramythia in the 4Kids English anime, and the Funimation Dub. The following is a complete list of Devil Fruits shown in the One Piece series. ...


Effect

These alter the user's body in some way or give the user a special ability which does not fit into the other categories. For example: Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi, which changes the user into stretchable rubber; also, Buggy the Clown's Bara Bara no Mi, which gives the user command over splitting apart his own body and controlling the pieces at will. Monkey D. Luffy in Sanjis clothing Monkey D. Luffy (モンキー・D・ルフィ Monkī D Rufi) is the main character of the anime and manga One Piece. ... Buggy the Clown ) is a fictional character of the manga and anime One Piece. ...


Strength

Grants the user the ability to do a trait that can be classified only as 'superhuman'. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...


Weakness

The Paramecia type is also the group that contains the powers or special traits that can be considered 'useless' to the user, granting little or no real advantage whatsoever. Paramecia types are also the easiest to fight against. The reason being is that while the strengths of their powers give them an advantage, they also make them easy to predict and often their Devil Fruit abilities are displayed to their fullest within a very short period of time.


Other information

Paramecias are the most common of the Devil Fruits types. Paramecia fruits can be divided into several subcategories, as it is impossible to generalize the powers. For instance, Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi is always active, meaning that he's a rubber human at all times (Luffy's traits furthermore seem to be rare for a Paramecia, in that they also render his body the properties of the substance they imitate). Other users, like Miss Valentine or Miss Doublefinger must mentally activate the changes in their bodies, while again others like Foxy and Mr. 5 can't change their bodies at all. They however all seem to come in two basic types, abilities that directly affect the body (Gomu, Bara, Sube, Kilo, Baku, Mane, Supa, Toge, Bane, Kage, Suke) and abilities that give the user some power (Bomu, Doru, Hana, Ori, Noro, Doa, Hiso, Awa, Kama, Goe, Yomi, Horo, Nikyuu). Whatever powers a paramecia fruit gives, it is based on the concept of either a characteristic like slipperiness or slowness, or an object like a bomb or a door.


Zoan-type

Further information: List of Devil Fruits#Zoan Fruits

Zoan-type (動物系 Dōbutsu-kei, read as Zōn-kei?), from "Zoanthropy," is the Animal Transformation Class. The following is a complete list of Devil Fruits shown in the One Piece series. ...


Effect

Allows the user to transform into an animal. This fruit provides three forms: the user's natural form, a full animal form (where the animal's size is often greatly exaggerated), and a hybrid form, combining both original and animal form (usually in a bizarre way).


Strength

Mainly improves physical abilities and allows the user to use his or her 3 forms to adapt to a situation during a fight to find the form that gives the biggest advantage. In their hybrid form, Zoan users experience enhanced senses as this form uses a combination of both forms abilities. Zoan abilities are best for close combat, because of the enhanced strength and speed it gives. This fruit type is also useful when applied to objects such as guns or swords, giving an otherwise inanimate object life and increasing its value to the owner of the item.


Weakness

They are limited to the capabilities of the animal they are able to transform into. The Zoan type Devil Fruit is not wasted if eaten by the creature it represents. Instead they become the perfect example of said species. Should a human eat the Hito Hito no mi, (the human human fruit) the human would become enlightened, and be considered a 'perfect' human. Zoan type abilities are particularly difficult to train because of the ability's simplicity. However Kaku showed with his ability that it is possible to train a Zoan ability, this however may simply be a result of his own skill.


Other information

While most users can only use the three forms, the Straw Hat Pirate's doctor Tony Tony Chopper can utilize more forms for a given amount of time with the aid of the "Rumble Ball", which he developed. It was stated by Chopper that carnivorous Zoans are considerably more bloodthirsty than other Zoans. A majority of the Zoan Devil fruits also come in different "models" that result in variations of the animal. For example, the Inu Inu (Dog) Fruit has a Jackal model, a Dachshund model and a Wolf model. The Ushi Ushi (Cow) Fruit has a Bison model and a Giraffe model. The Neko Neko (Cat) fruit has a Leopard model. A notable fact regarding The Tori Tori (bird) Fruit is that according to Pell there are only five known flying powers in the world. This was stated in chapter 169 in the manga. If a Zoan-user is knocked out while transformed into their half-beast or full-beast form, they will remain in that form while unconscious until they wake up to reverse the transformation. When Chopper is knocked out in one of his unique forms, he will revert to his most recently used regular form. Tony Tony Chopper ) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series One Piece by Eiichiro Oda. ...


Logia-type

Further information: List of Devil Fruits#Logia fruits

Logia-type (自然系 Shizen-kei, read as Rogia-kei?) The following is a complete list of Devil Fruits shown in the One Piece series. ...


Effect

With these fruits, the user may actually become a natural element in its entirety. Ever since their abilities are gained, they are neither completely human nor element in their default state. However, Logia users have the option of turning completely into their element if they so wish. This is often used for crossing great distances quickly, or avoiding blows should their weakness have been discovered.


Strength

The most powerful of the three groups. Even in their default states, Logia users are near invincible, taking no damage from physical attacks. For example, a blow can pass right through the user, while he maintains the rest of his body, and even can hold onto objects at the same time. If the ability is honed well enough, the user can manipulate anything related to their element, as well. For instance, through Crocodile's sand powers, he could control dryness and absorb moisture. In a similar example, Enel could utilize his electricity to generate heat to melt down, and reshape metals, by way of smelting. Logia users can tap unlimited amounts of their respective elements from their own bodies, and the "extracted" element be manipulated however the user wishes. Enel ), often romanized as Ener or Eneru, is a fictional villain from the One Piece manga and anime series. ... Electric phosphate smelting furnace in a TVA chemical plant (1942) Chemical reduction, or smelting, is a form of extractive metallurgy. ...


Weakness

Thus far there have been very few ways of dealing physical harm to a Logia user. There are two known methods used to cause harm to a Logia user. They are done either by neutralizing the Devil Fruit power, or by exploiting elemental weaknesses.


Damaging a Logia user through an elemental weakness may be done by either using the opposite element (an example of this would be Luffy landing blows on Enel regardless of the Goro Goro no Mi's electric powers because of his rubber body) or by using something that would simply prevent that element from being able to disperse itself to avoid damage (an example of this would be how both water and blood, while not being the element that destroys sand, still works to hold Crocodile's sand together to prevent it from dispersing to avoid damage). . Bön . Hinduism (Tattva) and Buddhism (MahābhÅ«ta) Prithvi / Bhumi — Earth Ap / Jala — Water Vayu / Pavan — Air / Wind Agni / Tejas — Fire Akasha — Aether . ... Monkey D. Luffy in Sanjis clothing Monkey D. Luffy (モンキー・D・ルフィ Monkī D Rufi) is the main character of the anime and manga One Piece. ...


Other information

Logia is the rarest of the three groups of Devil Fruit. Logia users cannot control their elements if the element is in another state of matter (i.e., Aokiji can control ice but not water). However, they may manipulate their surroundings into generating their element. Examples are Aokiji freezing an ocean, Crocodile turning a field of grass into a mini-desert, and Enel turning a cloud into a thunder cloud. These Devil Fruits are also not limited to the classical elements: fire, water, earth and air but includes physical and non-physical states like smoke, sand and darkness. For other uses, see Fire (disambiguation). ... Impact from a water drop causes an upward rebound jet surrounded by circular capillary waves. ... This article is about Earth as a planet. ... Look up air in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ... For other uses, see Sand (disambiguation). ... Darkness is the absence of light. ...
