 Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece. Today we are going to be expanding the Paramecia Index of the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia by examining the Togetogeno-mi. The Togetogeno-mi is a Paramecia type fruit that allows its user to produce spikes from any part of their body as well as turn any part of their body itself into a spike. It was eaten by Zala and if that name is not familiar to you then do not worry because it was only recently revealed in the One Piece Viviacart data book after decades of belief that her real name was Paula which turned out to be an alias although Zala is most commonly known by her second alias Miss Doublefinger. In any case this fruit first saw use during the alabaster arc. Really boring etymology this time around unfortunately as Togetogeno-mi is simply the Japanese word for spike and well wouldn't you know at Viz, Funimation and Four Kids decided to call it the Spike Spike Fruit. Although I guess I should just be happy that Four Kids didn't try to label it the prickly prickly fruit or something. Yeah you know what Spike Spike suits me just fine. As for the abilities of the fruit itself look it's also fairly simple. The user gains access to deadly deadly spikes of varying lengths and thicknesses essentially becoming a human blowfish. However of exceptional note is the fact that these spikes are incredibly powerful being sharp enough to pierce stone with great ease. Exactly what the limitations are on the size of the spikes is unknown but the user does appear to have control over precisely what element of their body becomes a spike at any given time. So for example a user could turn their entire arm into one giant spike or turn individual fingers into smaller yet equally powerful spikes. In fact should the user desire then they can emit spikes from every direction of their body and enact a technique known as Stinger Hedgehog and even proceed to roll at their opponents at great speed just like Sonic which is ever so slightly terrifying. Although it was aptly demonstrated by Nami that all one really needs to counter that is a mere sheet. But even with that in mind this fruit is pretty devastating by real world standards. I'm not exactly sure what sort of substance you would need to defend against it but I'm thinking some sort of incredibly thick metal or similarly heavy thing. However those substances are generally not practical to carry around or wear and even if you could they would reduce mobility significantly. Furthermore an opponent would need to ensure the entirety of their body is covered because the Togitoginomi is more than capable of mid-range precision attacks. So for example if you've left a neck or a wrist or something exposed I guarantee that it will be getting a nasty poke but it would be a huge mistake to assume that the Togitoginomi is purely an aggressive devil fruit because its abilities can be applied to so many other areas of life. First up the easy access of bodily spikes would be a highly enviable ability amongst rock climbers who would now be able to scuttle up whatever mountain they saw fit and this extends to seemingly any non-metallic surface. You can even walk upside down in perfect comfort should you desire. You will however leave a trail of spiky holes in your wake so it may not be so great for anything that requires a particularly stealthy approach. But in general we use spikes for a lot of things. A farmer with the power of the Togitoginomi would be able to save on expensive equipment because they would now possess the ability to aerate the ground themselves. Which is basically the process of perforating soil with holes to allow air and other assorted nutrients to access deeper levels of soil. Something that I think a spiky human would be perfectly capable of. There's also some more let's say questionable uses like knitting for example. A grandmother with the power of the Togitoginomi would be an absolute knitting beast able to clothe her entire family for generations to come. Or if you're in a younger stage of life perhaps a professional athlete playing soccer and or football depending on what your country calls it then you could invoke the powers of the fruit to save some money on studded boots. Not that you'd probably be legally allowed to play with deadly spikes on your feet but still it's an option. And in a more general context one could easily use the length of the spikes to create a handy pair of chopsticks to use at any sort of mealtime. So yeah you get the idea. Spikes are useful yo. And to discuss that a bit more let's look at Miss Doublefingers use of the Togitoginomi. Now as what is essentially a hired assassin Miss Doublefingers use of the fruit is very handy for general maiming and gilling. However she has also innovated a particularly interesting technique in the case that she finds herself in a close combat situation known as Togitogidoping whereby Miss Doublefinger appears to inject herself with her own spikes to enlarge her arms into an extraordinarily bulky yet spiky mechanism of doom. This allows a more straightforward approach to combat as the Togitoginomi is generally suited for precise attacks whilst maintaining strong defensive leverage. As for exactly how the whole doping thing is possible all I can really say is I don't know. I mean maybe what Miss Doublefinger is doing is creating a plethora of spikes within her very muscles that lead to the expansion of the arm region but whatever the case it is a very handy feature that could presumably be applied to one's legs as well if you know that was your thing. And in terms of potentially awakening this fruit I have to say that the Togitoginomi would be pretty damn powerful. Going with the standard Paramesia Awakening theory a user being able to morph their environment into spikes is essentially an automatic wind condition to anybody unable to engage in sky travel or armament hockey. And you know what even in the case that someone can use armament hockey having a landscape full of long thin spikes to fight on would be an absolute pain. Kind of like struggling your way through a particularly thick patch of bush so I think that it would be pretty damn phenomenal. Some other miscellaneous things to consider when becoming a spiky human. Due to the strength of the spikes produced this fruit also becomes a very appealing defensive option both deterring opponents with the promise of painful spikings as well as the fact that they may not even have enough strength to penetrate said spikes. Think of it like Don Krieg's cloak just not shit. At one stage a keen eyed fan noticed that the powers of the Togitoginomi looked very much like they also affected the user's clothes but this is not true. In reality the spikes produced by the user are simply unable to penetrate the user's clothing because Erichiro Oda claimed that the story would become unnecessarily erotic if they did. But yeah in essence the Togitoginomi is quite a nice middle-of-the-road devil fruit really. I'd struggle to call it really amazing because there were just so many other insane fruits out there but it's not too shabby at all. I mean in the real world this would be disgustingly powerful but by one piece standards that's all I can really say it is. Standard. And with that we are going to commit the Togitoginomi to the devil fruit encyclopedia. Next week we are going to be stepping back into zoan life in order to cast gaze upon the majesty of the Inuinunomi model jackal.
