How the Logia Devil Fruit Class Is Slowly Dying

one piece's combat system has slowly evolved and expanded over the course of hundreds of anime episodes and manga chapters, which means some fighting styles rise and fall in the ranks. For a while, one piece Some Logia users have made it clear that Logia-type Devil Fruits are the most powerful, to the point where they appear almost invincible. However, by the time the Elbaph Arc of the comic was released, Logias was clearly in decline.

One Piece Shanks' New Haki Beats Roger Rocks

One Piece: Shanks' new Haki feat proves he has surpassed Roger and Rocks.

In the Elbaf arc of One Piece, Shanks demonstrated incredible hockey feats, surpassing previous generations of pirates.

To be sure, Logias is still very powerful and hasn't lost all of its relevance. Two of the Navy's top officers remain formidable with their own loggia fruit. One of them is Kizaru with the Glint-Glint Fruit, and Fleet Admiral Akainu with the Fierce Magmag Fruit. In other words, the entire Logias lost their fearsome reputation. that You can beat the devil fruit. some aspects one piece's combat system caught up with or even surpassed Logias', and the other two Devil Fruit categories found a way to shine in ways that Logias did not. So it feels like the Logia-type Devil Fruit is slowly dying, or rather, its reputation is like that. Currently, Logia is just a type of Devil Fruit, not a mainstream Devil Fruit.

Paramecia and Zoan Devil Fruit have more potential than Logias.

Awakening and Mythical Fruit Put Logias to Shame

The Logia type Devil Fruit had a clear advantage over its Paramecia and Zoan cousins ​​in the early story arcs. one pieceLongtime viewers and readers will remember this. At the time, such as Luffy's early adventures in the Grand Line, Logia-type fruits gave users an overwhelming advantage due to their elemental properties. Logias are elements of nature and give them the ability to control them, and it seems that no one but Systone can counter this power. Captain Smoker was untouchable with his Plume-Plume Fruit and Luffy almost died twice with Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit until he narrowly won the third match with some clever thinking.

Paramecias felt like Logias without the benefit of intangibility, and Zoans felt underwhelming as a means for characters like Rob Lucci to simply transform into animal forms, including hybrid forms. Those two Devil Fruit categories also shared the weaknesses of the Logia category with Sistone, so they couldn't outrun Logias. Then one piece's time skip, power scaling, and new elements of the combat system have resulted in an aggressive rebalancing of the balance scale.

One Piece Devil Fruit Stronger than Hito Hitonomi Model Nika

One Piece: Hito Hitonomi Model 6 God Tier Fruits Stronger than Nika

The Nika Devil Fruit is overpowered, but other god-level fruits are currently stronger.

Now Paramecia is more impressive than ever. In part, that's because people like Doflamingo, Big Mom, and Trafalgar Law have introduced some truly amazing paramecia. This, combined with the simple fact that Paramecias is much more creatively flexible than Logias, is a natural consequence of a story that empowers everyone in the New World. That ideal combination gave rise to fruits such as Soul-Soul Fruit, Op-Op Fruit, and String-String Fruit. In contrast, the Logia category has much more limited options for elements available to users, but some new elements have also appeared, such as Woods-Woods Fruit.

Interestingly, the Zoan category has moved up from the “meh” category to the strongest category, largely due to the appearance of the mythical Zoan fruit. These are now dominating the narrative. one pieceMany of the most powerful characters use it to transform into true monsters. Even Monkey D. Luffy himself got in on the trend. His “Paramecia” gum-gum fruit was actually a model of Nika, the mythical Zoan human-human fruit. Gear 5 has humbled everything the Logia category can do, and the Five Elders are also very impressive as the mythic Zoan. Other heavy hitters like Emperor Kaido and Elbaf's Prince Loki are also making Joans the coolest Devil Fruit out there.

Logia devil fruit does not awaken

Besides the emergence of the powerful Paramecia and the mythical Zoan category, another factor hindering the Logia Fruit is the concept of Devil Fruit Awakening. The Awakened Devil Fruit is one of several cool new fighting styles introduced since then. one pieceSimilar to Time Skip, Awakened Quirks My Hero Academia. In particular, there are no confirmed cases of the Logia Devil Fruit awakening, but some evidence suggests that Fleet Admiral Akainu awakened the Magmag Fruit, and Portgas D. Ace may have awakened the Flame Fruit. But while uncertain at best, Paramecia and Joan are definitely awakening left and right.

Trafalgar Law and Doflamingo are the two main characters who have clearly awakened the Paramecia Fruit, which is why Doflamingo almost destroyed Dressrosa while also being a contributing factor in Big Mom's downfall on Onigashima. Meanwhile, the mythical Joan category is practically defined as awakening, the fruit of which is one pieceis the most influential and interesting force of Luffy's Gear 5 is the biggest example, but fans shouldn't discount Kaido's awakened Fish-Fish Fruit: Azure Dragon model or, most recently, Loki's Dragon-Dragon Fruit: Niddhogg model. Logias is falling behind due to a clear lack of awakening, but in Logias' defense, there's still time for that to happen at least once before then. one piece It ends.

Haki nerfed Logias over Paramecias and Zoans.

Haki is sometimes a particularly anti-logia weapon

As a side note, the Haki combat system has redefined the following combat: one piece This fighting style was officially introduced after the anime's time skip. It is true that some fighters can handle or even overcome Logia's power. Haki was a real game changer. In fact, Haki did much more to humble Logias than Paramecias and Zoans. Even though Haki works against everyone. Color of Arms Haki is a staple as it allows the user to attack Logia Devil Fruit users. Arm Color Haki is dangerous to any Devil Fruit user, but it is Logias who suffers the most losses when Haki appears. The intangibility of elements was the main strength of the loggia category, and hockey diminished that whole idea.

One Piece Elbaf Arc Powerup Luffy Forgotten Form Gear 4

One Piece's Elbaf Arc Strengthens Luffy's Forgotten Form

Luffy's forgotten form has been greatly improved in Elbaf, improving its overall usability.

Logias is now almost useless. Even when Loki and Luffy are running around with world-shaking mythical Zoans, they still have a lot of relevance and power. That said, Logias no longer feels special because of these factors, and this category bears new fruit much more slowly than the rest. Therefore, it is reasonable to say this. one pieceThe loggia fruit is dying. It's not dead, but it's far from its glory days.
