I had a chuckle imagining that one of Kaido pirates is a gorilla zoan with big dreamy eyes, having him drag around someone in his introduction scene.

If there is a mythical Lion user I'd bet it'll be something like a Manticore.

I just figured, way back when I first started reading OP, that Ritchie from Buggy's crew would eat a Scorpion DF and become a Lion-Scorpion hybrid to resemble a Manticore.
Manticores are already a thing in One Piece tho.
See Impel Down Level 2.

A Shisa is more likely.

Or you know….

I thought Komachiyo was kind of already one of those kind of things? Kind of redundant to have a Zoan user be one of them.
Or a Sphinx. Lion body, but also with wings. It would be HILARIOUS if one of their underlings was a red bull.

Count me in as fully onboard for King having the Lion fruit. Having some super rare/unusual Devil Fruit is one thing. But having a power that's common/unremarkable at first glance and mastering the fuck out of it is something I'd like to see more in the series.

Well, it's easier said than done for the average Zoan user to be fair.

Wouldn't that just be rehashing Lucci?
-
I get your point but by the reasoning, there won't be any other Mink character of seemingly importance from now on since Oda hasn't foreshadowed anything. Anyway, i really hope the other Calamities are drawn in the same manner as Jack and not as Holdem.
Will it's certainly possible. It's not like minks are a widespread species. There's a good chance we've already been introduced to all the mink characters that matter.

Doesn't leave Oda with too many options for the future then.
One way of handling it would be not having Luffy fight him. Or her.

Wasn't Katakuri a really great example of this?
In anyone else's hands it would be one of the most useless fruits in the series by far.

Sure, if it was given to some chump in Paradise.
Zoans are usually more straighfroward with less creative freedom for the author and the user. Kaku is, of course, an exception to the rule.
-
We really haven't seen a Top Zoan DF user that has awakened his fruit and was able to control & master it (meaning he didn't transform into a mindless beast).
We saw what raw strength the Zoans in Impel Down had. WE could get a Lion Model : Chimera type that would be out of this world strong.
-
Or a Saber-Tooth Tiger one. Those thing are supposed to have been even bigger than some of our modern jungle cats, so if Lucci got as huge as he did with just a leopard DF, think how big someone would get with an even larger, Ancient model Zoan beast? After all, Jack is an Ancient Zoan user, so maybe the other Calamities will be of similar category?
-
I wanted the Three Calaminities to be the cast of Ice Age as well.

Katakuri's fruit is basically a Logia so it had a lot going for it already. A Lion fruit has a deeper floor to climb out of, as Razh said. But I do agree that Oda has done a good job demonstrating that Devil Fruits are only as strong as the people who use them. Doflamingo, Cracker, and Katakuri have all used their fruits in ways that experienced New World fighters should.
-
Wouldn't King be better suited to have a Tiger fruit?
-
I just proposed a lion zoan as a joke on that Animal Kingdom translation.
Oda could easily have been inspired by Tekken as well as Lion King. Or neither.
Just remembered King from Tekken has a jaguar mask, my memory played tricks on me.

Fused King and Tiger Mask.

I couldn't tell, does it look to anyone else like Luffy's Elephant Gun actually hurt Kaido or does it just look like someone who's scratching their pet dog's head too hard and it makes the skin stretch over their eyes all funny-looking? I know Luffy used the same move on a ((completely prepared for it and using Haki to block it)) Big Mom, but this is a drunk and not expecting it Kaido who isn't using Haki, so…I dunno. It would just be weird if it did hurt him at all given the reputation of Yonkou who are supposed to be the strongest ever.
Elephant Gun didn't do fk all to Katakuri, do you seriously think its going to even remotely hurt someone that fell nearly 8 miles from the sky into an Island….who got back up with barely a minor headache from it..

Did Elephant Gun ever connect in Luffy vs Katakuri?
At the very least, I don't remember him tanking it.
But it's probably going to be no more than annoyance.
-
Elephant Gun didn't even break Cracker's armor suit.
-

Nope.
Pretty sure the closest we got was when he used Elephant Gun to grab Katakuri and take him into the Mirror World. Otherwise they either all missed, or clashed with Katakuri's fists.

I was going for the whole Tiger and Dragon motif you see a lot in Asian media.

Not the same attack but his G3 did same thing as grap that had to train first on 8 mountains, even doflamingo said g3 has the power, it's just slow.
