The Secret Behind the Mantle in Zoan-Type Awakened Forms | A Manifestation of Divinity?

Is the Mantle a Sign of Being a Divine Entity? Could Loki Have It Too?

Characters such as the FIVE ELDERS, Lucci, Kaku, and Luffy, among others, exhibit mantles when achieving awakened Zoan forms.

But what exactly is the mantle’s true nature?

A Manifestation of Divinity?

When Lucci and the FIVE ELDERS transform into their awakened forms, they are shrouded in mantles.

Yamato’s Okuchi-no-Makami form and Kaido’s Azure Dragon form also feature similar elements.

Kaido’s flame clouds resemble a mantle, though it’s unclear if they’re truly the same. However, Yamato, likely not yet fully awakened, still displays a mantle, indicating it may be a defining trait.

In Luffy’s case, his transformation into Nika grants him a mantle upon awakening his powers.

Before his awakening, Luffy’s abilities appeared to be Paramecia-type, but they evolved to enable his transformation into Nika.

This suggests that divine powers inherently include a mantle as a standard feature.

So far, only Kaido’s flame clouds have demonstrated practical use, implying that the mantle primarily symbolizes “divinity.”

It serves as a visual “mark” distinguishing divine beings from humans or other species.

Without a mantle, forms like Luffy’s, Kaido’s, or Yamato’s would appear far less mystical.

The mantle lends credibility to their divine status, making it a potent visual symbol.

Unlike Paramecia awakenings, Zoan awakenings alone seem to grant this feature, hinting at a connection to life force or spirit energy.

Thus, the mantle could be a symbolic representation of “divinity,” but why would non-divine abilities include it upon awakening?

Additionally, Lucci, Kaku, and the FIVE ELDERS display mantles of ominous black flames, contrasting with the mantles of Nika and Okuchi-no-Makami.

Could there be a deeper meaning behind these differences?
