Paramecia and Mythical Zoans get wild grab-bag abilities on awakening but Normal Zoans just get a flat stat boosts and regeneration. I figured that was just the case for an "imperfect awakening" like the Impel Down guards or (maybe) Chopper, but it seems like their "true awakening" is just the same thing. We got more creative ability writing out of Kaku first eating his fruit than we got during the short time we got to see the first confirmed true awakening Normal Zoan.
So... is that all there is? Were Lucci and Kaku just too green with their abilities to figure out how to use them creatively?
Auxillary complaint: furthermore, wtf Beasts Pirates?? What a bizarre amount of wasted potential to show off Normal and Ancient Zoan awakenings.
Tangential thought: Marco awakening the Phoenix fruit feels like the Chekov's Gun equivalent of Guy and the Eighth Gate, it has to happen... right?
