These devil fruits have much better counterparts

summary

• Some of the powers of the Devil Fruit in One Piece overlap, with one version being completely superior to the other in terms of abilities and power.
• Examples include Tintin fruit vs Kilo fruit, Ice fruit vs Snow fruit, Arm fruit vs Dice fruit and Magma Magma fruit vs Flame Flame fruit.
• While it showcases creativity, having similar powers creates mirrors between the characters in One Piece, leading to interesting comparisons.

each piece It offers some of the most creative abilities in anime through its Devil Fruit system. Although these powers may seem a little standard at first glance, with creative use and interesting strategies, Devil Fruit powers make for very entertaining fight scenes. With many different devil fruits throughout each piece In the world, there is an almost endless number of possibilities for creative and interesting combat.

However, due to the large number of devil fruits in each piecethere is probably some overlap. Some of the Devil Fruit powers have more or less the same ability, with only slight variations. Furthermore, more often than not, one of these overlapping Devil Fruit abilities is superior to its counterpart in almost every way.

Devil Fruits that are strictly better in one piece

Same ability but better

In order for a Devil Fruit to be considered a counterpart to another, the two fruits must have substantially the same ability. If a fruit has many additional powers, they should not be considered the same. For example, although Monet's Snow Fruit and Brook's Revival Fruit can both use ice-based abilities, Brook's Fruit has too many abilities to compare the two.

Machvise's ton-ton fruit and Mikita's kilo-kilo fruit

tons of weight

One of the easiest comparisons between devil fruits in general each piece The world should go to the fruit of tin-ton machois and the kilo-kilo fruit of Mikita. Both Devil Fruits allow the user to shift their body weight, allowing them to greatly increase their weight in order to fall on enemies and crush them. However, the Tonton Fruit, an evil fruit that is perfect for Garp, allows the user to increase their body weight by metric tons, while the maximum weight of the Kilo-Kifruit is only 10,000 kg, making it Converts to a weight. Lower all-round selection Although the kilo fruit can make the user lighter, this is not enough to distinguish it from the tin-ton fruit.

Granted, Devil Fruits' “superior” abilities are one thing, but as of right now, it's pretty much just these four pairs. – Oda referring to Tintin fruit vs Kilo fruit, ice fruit vs snow fruit, arm fruit vs dice fruit and magma magma fruit vs flame – flame fruit

Kozan ice fruit and Monet snow fruit

Ice is stronger than snow

Next is another relatively simple comparison between Monet's snow fruit and Kozan's ice fruit. Both of these are Logia-type Devil Fruits that deal heavily with cold attacks against their enemies using frozen water. Although the Monet Fruit is powerful on its own, the Kuzan Fruit can do almost everything the Snow-Snow Fruit can do, while having more firepower than deadly ice attacks.

Baby 5's Arms-Arms Fruit and Daz Bonez Dice-Dice Fruit

A sword against an arsenal

Back to one piece Dressrosa Arc, the next Devil Fruits are Daz Bonez Dice-Dice Fruit and Baby 5's Arms-Arms Fruit. While both of these fruits give the user the ability to transform into a weapon, unfortunately, Daz Bonez's fruit is only limited to turning his body parts into blades. Baby 5, on the other hand, can do just that, turning itself into a full arsenal of useful weapons.

Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit and Ace's Flame Fruit

Magma burns flames

Next up, although some may not consider them direct counterparts, are Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit and Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit. Once again, this is a similar situation between Monet's Kuzan and Devil Fruit abilities. Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit completely surpassed Ace's in terms of heat and firepower. Although Ace was an incredibly strong Devil Fruit user, his magma power could easily break through the flames, making the flames hotter and suffocating them.

Fruit Pop-Pop Gladius and Fruit Bomb-Bomb Jam

More explosions

Finally, Gladius' pop-pop fruit is definitely better than Gem's bomb-bomb fruit. While the former can only cause inorganic objects to explode, and the latter causes the user's own organs to explode, in terms of destructive capabilities, Gladius' Pop-Pop Fruit is likely a direct upgrade. In terms of application and power, Exploding Inorganic Objects can be applied to almost anything, including clothing on the user's body, and simulates almost every benefit of the Bomb Bomb fruit.

Also, a superior ability does not necessarily equal a character's strength. No ability alone guarantees victory in battle. – Oda

While there are likely more examples of Devil Fruits that are quite better each pieceThese are the most common ones. While some may find it lazy to have such similar powers, in many ways they create mirrors between certain characters and openly invite comparison. In the end, it's always fun to see how a particularly underused ability changes with a new, completely better Devil Fruit.
