 Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything one piece. Today we are going to be consulting the Animal Kingdom once again for the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia by examining the Mogu Mogu No Mi. The Mogu Mogu No Mi is a zoan-type fruit that allows its user to transform into a mole as well as a human mole hybrid. In the series it was eaten by Miss Merry Christmas a member of Baroque Works and first took the stage during the Alabasta Ark. Mogu is a shortened version of Mogura which is the Japanese word for mole which also happens to bear strong similarity to the verb Moguru which means to go underneath something which is very very applicable to the digging habit of moles. Speaking of digging we have another of what I would call horrendously bad translations of this devil fruit spawning from the four kids dove who decided to call it the Diggy Diggy Fruit and this time around we have quite a complicated reason for the change actually because it all started when four kids changed the name of Miss Merry Christmas to Miss Groundhog's Day which also included changing her zoan powers into a groundhog rather than a mole in which case calling it the mole mole fruit no longer fit and the groundhog groundhog fruit obviously doesn't have that great ring to it so hey they landed on uh diggy diggy it's like getting trapped in a web of lies really you tell one lie and then you have to lie again to keep the first lie consistent and then eventually you implode and your horrible dub company breaks down and files for bankruptcy twice you know that old tale but sadly this translation was also passed into the vis manga but as per usual the passionably late to the party funimation was able to fix this for their dub and simply called it the mole mole fruit. Now as many of you may have picked up on by now by far the greatest advantage that the mogumogunomi has to offer comes in the form of digging now generally according to established mole facts this creature is able to dig at a rate of about four and a half meters per hour and i'd say yeah that's pretty good for using your bare hands but the digging powers granted by the mogumogunomi differ incredibly allowing the user to dig just about anywhere they want near instantaneously in fact i'd compare the digging abilities of the mogumogunomi with the general act of swimming this is largely due to the impressive claws granted by the fruit which appear in both full mole and human mole hybrid form not only are they powerful enough to dig at absurd speeds but they are also able to slice through harder substances such as rocks as if they were the geological equivalent of butter encountering a warm knife so this obviously lends itself to most professions involving any sort of destruction or excavation although i'd say that the mogumogunomi only really lends itself to mass excavation rather than more detailed work due to the nature of the ginormous claws they really aren't made for detailed work at all so that's somewhat limiting however there are a wide variety of industries where these abilities would be beneficial such as construction plumbing and even grave digging furthermore in the world of one piece this devil fruit could be put to incredible use by borrowing undersea tunnels between islands particularly in the grand line where sailing above the water presents incredible dangers and we even know that this is possible to perform thanks to godatsu's cover story in which he encountered a giant mole known as the dirt boss who dug an undersea tunnel to the nation of alabaster and speaking of giant moles i think that's a decent segue to discuss the potential awakening of the mogumogunomi sadly i can't use manga material but here is a lazy rendering of what the dirt boss looks like which is pretty much what i imagine the awakened outcome of this devil fruit would be just with a bit more of a human element involved which would be a pretty damn terrifying creature really very much capable of ripping the average person to shreds in an instant should it desire which is always something to keep in mind as moles are indeed carnivorous i mean they generally eat worms but a supermassive mole may be more adventurous with its diet so the awakened user would certainly need to get that under control but once that's all said and done an awakened user of the mogumogunomi would probably be able to revolutionize the landscape of the world as we know it digging tunnels all over the grand line and possibly even out into the four blue seas in order to provide a safer method of travel for the inhabitants of the world which would be a far more effective way to bring an end to the great age of piracy rather than actively trying to arrest pirates but with that let's examine how this fruit was used in the series by miss mary christmas as an agent of baroque work she used the powers of the mogumogunomi mainly for combat which given those horrific looking claws is a pretty fair use i'd say miss mary christmas has a variety of punchy swiping attacks but she also makes use of her digging powers to construct a series of tunnels on any given battlefield she ends up on in order to provide herself with a terrain advantage and finally miss mary christmas has a particularly brutal use of the mogumogunomi whereby she grabs an opponent and smashes them into a wall at great speeds which just sounds painful some other miscellaneous things to consider when becoming a mole human moles are one of the very rare creatures in the world that can smell in stereo so not only would you be able to detect odors immediately but also the direction they traveled from so if you were a mole person stuck in an elevator where someone let one rib well you'd know exactly who to blame interestingly enough the mole is classified as a venomous animal as it contains a toxin in its saliva which is used to paralyze worms for consumption so it's only natural to assume that this trait may be passed on to the user of the mogumogunomi albeit in a more potent form in summary the mogumogunomi provides its user with quite a competent ability becoming a mole has no inherent drawbacks although the benefits gained are very focused in one particular area essentially if you have no interest in digging then this probably is not the fruit for you however if you do possess a fine enthusiasm for making holes or tunnels well then this is your perfect fit and with that we are going to commit the mogumogunomi to the devil fruit encyclopedia next week we are finally going to be traveling back into the domain of the paramecia in order to examine the super super spiky toge toge no me if you enjoyed this video and the content this channel produces in
