@STP_PS:
I´m just curious, but what can be defined as an "awoken human"?
The term is so surreal that by all means we really need to know if said state of the zoan dfs is just a repotentiated version of it with ++ in brute force or if theres more to it. So far I can´t seem to put a finger on what an awoken zoan means. So if for instance an inu inu no mi model ("whatever dog specie you want") gets eaten by a dog of that same specie, then would it all be a waste? The question is legit..
I think awakened zoans are just fruit users who used ther fruits so much that the animal side became dominant, and they became more animals than human. Or were left somewhere in between. It's evident zoans have some kind of personalities, otherwise objects like Lassoo and Funkfreed would be impossible.
Maybe Chopper would look more like human if he became an awakened zoan. Or maybe he already is one, since he has more human traits than animal ones.
When Oda said that human who would eat human fruit would become more enlightened, it probably means that the person who would eat it would become more human. Smarter, more emphatic, more self aware, wiser, healthier?

(Oda has a thing for badass old people).
Yes, and there's also Rayleigh, Garp, Whitebeard…
Guess what, none of them had shakies or showed signs of being senile. Their bodies looked pretty juvenile compared to Lao G's. Also, none of them seemed to be so fast that everything around them seemed to be moving in slow mo.
Keep em coming.
