 Hello and welcome to the Grand Line review your source for everything one piece and today for the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia we are going to be taking some time to observe a very cool fruit that will turn any user immediately into a girl's best friend being the Kira Kira No Mi. The Kira Kira No Mi is a Paramecia type fruit that allows its user to transform any or all of their body into a super shiny diamond. It was consumed in the series by the third division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates Jozoo and made its first appearance during the Marine for Dark. This fruit, as many others do, takes its name from a Japanese onomatopoeia, in this case being Kira Kira, which is allegedly the sound of sparkling, primarily referring to the shininess of precious things such as gemstones or jewelry in general. An idea that we have many many words for in English including glitter, sparkle, glisten or even the lesser used twinkle. Now as for which of those wonderful words the English translation would choose to use, well we're still waiting on that actually. That's right, for the first time in this Encyclopedia this fruit has no official translation as of yet and in fact we only know the fruit's Japanese name thanks to the One Piece Fivio card data book. So throw your bets in the comments, but I'm going to go with the sparkle sparkle fruit because why not? But what we essentially have here is one of the more simple fruits we've examined because in terms of abilities it's very minimalist. You can turn parts of yourself into diamond, that's very much it. And as a result the selling point of this fruit is very much what one could accomplish as a giant diamond and I'd have to say that outside of combat it's a pretty limited field. But first up I guess it's worth noting that diamond is the hardest naturally occurring substance in the world with the word naturally being very important because of course in this day and age with the radical power of science we can form compounds much tougher than diamond, but we're starting out with some pretty damn high standards here anyway. Standards which would naturally give its user an immunity to effectively everything the world could throw at them that isn't harkly imbued. So whether that be weapons like swords or guns or even establish devastating devil fruit powers such as the flames of the Merimerunomi or even the poison of the Dokudokunomi there is going to be very little that can break your diamond facade whilst it is active. However that really is a major major point with this fruit. A user must invoke this fruit's powers. It's not like the Gomugomonomi where Luffy's body is rubber even if Luffy is caught off guard. The user of the Kirikirunomi must be actively aware of when and what to turn into diamond and an easy answer to that second question might be well why don't I just turn my entire body into diamond. I'd be invincible. Ha ha ha and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong but this devil fruit comes with a very restrictive condition that I don't feel like a lot of people think about which is that once part of your body has been morphed into diamond you are no longer able to move that body part because it's a diamond. The Kirikirunomi is actually a lot like the Supersupernomi wielded by Darse Bones in that once he had turned part of his body into a blade he lost all control of that body part so what he had to do is strategically turn certain portions of his body into blades like for example maybe he turned his fingers into them and then used his arm to thrust those blades at his opponent. It's very much the same deal with the diamond fruit. So for example you could turn your entire arm into diamond which Josu does quite frequently but it would be up to the rest of your body to make use of that diamond arm which is very tricky because it means that by default your impenetrable defense is going to need a purposely chosen weak point where your body remains a regular fleshy human in order for you to make any use of this fruit whatsoever. But hey what better way to explore this potential use than by delving into diamond Josu himself and he very much put a hell of a lot of hype behind this fruit when he was successfully able to block a strike from the world's greatest swordsman Dracula Mihawk. The strike which was originally aimed at whitebeard and may or may not have been catered to dealing with diamond but still very impressive nonetheless. As for offensive combat Josu mainly uses the Kirikirinomi to transform part of himself into diamond and then thrust himself towards an enemy at high impact in an attack that he has named brilliant punk which is you know effectively the diamond version of a bull rushing at you with its static horns. It's not the most complex of attacks however if it does hit that diamond is going to strike you hard especially when you consider the potential to imbiot with Haki which we do know that Josu has because he was seen being capable of facing off against both crocodile and kuzan during the paramount war who are both low gear fruit users. In the curious case of kuzan though this was one of Josu's less than finest moments which very much demonstrates the severe weakness of needing to keep devil fruits active as after losing concentration Josu found himself frozen by kuzan's own devil fruit abilities and due to the fragility of his non-diamond natural body he actually ended up losing an arm in this encounter whereas if the kirikirinomi was somehow a fruit that kept the diamond goodness active the entire time there's no way that Josu would have been brittle enough to part with his limb here so if you do consume this fruit just remember to stay focused don't be like Josu. Now to the ever anticipated world of awakenings and this is where I think the bulk of potential for this fruit comes from actually being able to assumedly turn your environment into diamond is a very handy strategic device in fact it's entirely possible that with this power you'd never have to turn your body into diamond again you basically just need to focus on hitting your opponent and then manipulating the environment to provide maximum diamond impact upon whatever they land on with that said though rather than use such a thing for combat my first thought would actually be to go into business because unlike most devil fruits with access to generation we'd actually be crafting something society considers wildly valuable here especially if you have control of the source of said valuables to the point of being a monopoly I mean you could basically do what debiers did in the real world where they controlled something crazy like 80 to 85 percent of the world's diamond stock and used that advantage to artificially inflate their price by only releasing low numbers of product into the market at a time making diamonds seem far far more valuable than they were in reality and even though that monopoly has been somewhat broken up these days diamonds are still wildly overpriced and I guess the only issue is that I suppose the monopoly would only last for your lifetime and upon your death all of those awakened diamonds you've created may possibly just revert to whatever they were beforehand then again you're dead so this isn't necessarily a problem for you some other miscellaneous things to consider when becoming a diamond human funnily enough this is another one of those intriguing fruits in the series which may very well act as a natural counter to the absurdly powerful fan favorite light fruit the peek-a-peek-a-nomy this is because there is basically no way that light could ever come to hurt something that is naturally reflective and refractive so the user of the peek-a-peek-a-nomy would have to rely solely on using their quote-unquote light speed to send their regular fleshy body into combat with your diamond exterior which doesn't sound like it would end very well for the light user also it's probably a good idea to point out that while diamond is the hardest naturally occurring substance in the real world that may not actually hold true for the one piece realm due to the existence of sea stone or sea prism stone or kyrosekia whatever you prefer to call it it's all the same in any case this stuff is also nigh on indestructible by conventional means plus it restricts devil fruit powers so it is very much the ultimate rival to the user of the kira-kira-nomy kind of like kryptonite superman and also this is probably obvious to anyone who has made it this far in the video but on the occasion this devil fruit can be mistaken for a logia this is because it gives the illusion of the user essentially becoming diamond which is an element in line with logia theming however as i've stated a couple of times already the user needs to take the initiative in terms of when and where this diamond body is invoked it certainly does not make them permanently an element as other logias do and so it falls very firmly in the paramisia camp so what do we end up with here look i think the kira-kira-nomy is one of those fairly overrated fruits within the one piece fan base the diamond aspect is undeniably phenomenal but i don't think that a lot of people really appreciate just how difficult this fruit would be to wield effectively in any context let alone high-level combat which is the default standard we often look at these powers from so for the average person i'm actually thinking that this may not be such a great choice if indeed you are presented with the choice of fruits to consume there would undoubtedly be a fair chunk of daily life benefit here and there but it's not something truly revolutionary like many other powers might provide however if you are truly committed to mastering the art of diamondization then go for it because use of this power at its optimum levels is going to be absurdly difficult for any potential opponents to overcome you just need to be pretty damn sure that you're the bright person who can accomplish that because even a top tier user like joe zoo found himself in a very tight spot with the restrictions of this fruit so i guess all i can really leave you with is think very very carefully before eating this one and with that we are going to commit the kira kira nomi to the devil fruit encyclopedia next week we'll be getting into yet another fan favorite also coming from a prominent member of the wide-bid pirates this time being first division commander marco and his mythical zoan fruit the tori tori nomi model phoenix if you enjoyed this video and the content this channel produces in general then please do consider donating to the grandline review patreon because the

place on a daily basis and finally please do comment with your thoughts on the kira kira nomi this has been the grandline review and i'll see you next time what's the difference between the observation haki that reilly taught luffy and the observation haki that he learned in his fight with kata curry it looked like luffy was learning a haki style that he already had cool so you're right in the both instances luffy was using observation haki however reilly only taught luffy the very basics of haki because in the dark king's own words haki only truly blooms in the heat of battle and in this particular fight kata curry was using a more advanced form of observation haki that allowed him to achieve this phenomenon where he can look into the future and after seeing that in action luffy became determined to learn how to do that for himself so he slowly and i mean very slowly pushed himself until he could wield it to some degree why did you pick your name hmm all right so grandline review is a name that was effectively chosen i would say more or less arbitrarily basically one day many many years ago i was sitting on my couch and i thought maybe i could talk about one piece on youtube doesn't seem all that difficult right the latter part of that mental statement was completely untrue but after that moment i did a bit of a brainstorming session on what i wanted the name of the channel to be and at that time all i knew was that i wanted to review chapters and maybe episodes so i was determined to sneak the word review in there somewhere and given that i wanted the channel to be entirely one piece based i was looking for a word to summarize the series or the world and given that the large majority of it took place in the grandline well grandline review seemed kind of reasonable like a newspaper or a periodical and i didn't really think too far beyond that i immediately made the youtube account and then i think i left a dormant for the better part of a year before i actually gave making content to go and then an awfully long journey later here we are today
