Zoan Half forms and chopper

Angryitalian

Don't get me wrong, I love chopper's cute charm, but I kinda hope that as he grows and developes his mid form changes to something a litle more mature looking (not necessarily monster chopper) and fitting of the rest of the zoan mid forms

Well, his half-beast form is probably weird because his beast form is his original form, while the rest are originally humans. Chopper's an anomally because he's the only animal turned human instead of vice-versa.

I assume that the user has some kind of basic control of their forms. I mean lucci is a tall human, leopard's are sleek cats. Yet his half form is giantic.

Course monster is huge even compared to that.

Prehaps the form is based on the user's power. Young raindeer becomes child like half form. Old lady becomes plump and flabby mole human. Super powered CP9er becomes huge half cat.

Lucci mentioned something about the power of the Zoan fruits increasing from training. I can only guess that humans with higher training will have bigger and more powerful man-beast forms. It also depends on the fighting style and physical specialties of the user. The guys in CP9 have trained their body's to be biological machines, so their fighting abilities are ruled by their super human physical state, and Zoan powers happen to run on the same principle. So that why I think CP9's man-beast forms are so much bigger, but that doesn't explain why Kaku's beast form is a riduculously large Giraffe.

I think chopper's fruit is probably the wierdest kind of Zoan since he doesn't really have a PURE MAN form. Chopper is an animal so the names of his forms should really be reversed. That said, his regular state is a beast-man form already, but his Heavy Point is not really a Man form either. In fact, the Heavy Point is closest to the man-beast forms that other Zoan chars have, but I guess it would just be weird to have chopper being able to look like a human boy, since he was an outkast at birth. I guess Oda just wanted him to keep that characteristic.

I think the effect of Rumble Ball changes everything how ever like Doctor said that Chopper wasn't able to control his powers nor himself, that only happens for carnivorous Zoan. This kind of situation only happens when one's power is too overwhelming. Therefore I'm hypothesizing that Chopper is getting to the extent that he is surpassing or equal to Lucci's power (but he'll be too tired to fight by the time they meet each other again).

well, in my opinion, I don't think chopper would look fully human. The other charicters human forms always looked a little odd to me. Their human form had some resemblance to their animal form already.

Every zoan keeps some of their human characteristics in animal form too. For example, you can see Kaku's eyes clearly in his giraffe form, and you can see that Pell's falcon form is not a normal falcon. I bet that Jabura's wolf form would still have Jabura's hair and the scar in his eye, for instance.

Also, animals tend to have pretty standard features that gives us a hard time trying to differentiate them. But humans we can differentiate very easily. Some have beards, others not. Some have long hair, others not. Some are tall, some are short, and so on.

As such, we people may have a hard time differentiating a zoan's animal form from an standard animal, but the animal would still know that the zoan is not a standard animal. By the same principle, we do know that Chopper in human form is not really human, because we differentiate humans easily.

Taking that aswell that's why I think chopper is going to be able to improve his zoan types all he needs to do is practise more with it which might lead to something like life returns and control of his mega form. I would like to see a slightly bigger chopper forms that are well defined like lucci's man beast form.

We did not see that much of his horse though, and from what I remember maybe two forms max. If he were in the story more we would have seen the horse develop more I bet. I feel like its the same with that gun that ate the dog fruit. There would be more to explore with these characters if they were in the plot for more than a few chapters.
