I’ve always been fascinated by the world-building of One Piece, and one of the most intriguing elements of this universe is the ‘Devil Fruits’. Each of the three types possesses unique characteristics, both in terms of aesthetics and power. While Zoan Devil Fruits are not considered as powerful as the other types, they still have fascinating transformations. Amongst the Zoans, there is one doctor who stands out from the rest of the pack – Tony Tony Chopper.
Chopper is a reindeer, but he ate the Human-Human Fruit, which gave him the ability to transform into a human form. Unlike other Zoan users, Chopper has an impressive arsenal of transformations, which he refers to as “points.” Before the time skip, he needed to consume a Rumble Ball to access most of these transformations, but he eventually mastered them all without the need for any external stimulus.
Here is a breakdown of all of Chopper’s incredible transformations.
Brain Point
‘Brain Point’ is Chopper’s most commonly used transformation, which combines his human and reindeer forms. It’s one of the forms that did not require a Rumble Ball’s effects to manifest even before the time-skip. Brain Point gives Chopper a small body and a large head, enabling him to use both his human intellect and animal instincts to come up with brilliant plans. He also uses this form’s compact size to dodge attacks, but his short stature often causes him to be mistaken for a tanuki.
Walk Point
Another frequently used transformation is Walk Point, his reindeer form. He looks like a typical reindeer, except for his blue nose. As Chopper ages, this form changes, and he becomes more stag-like after the time skip. Walk Point is Chopper’s fastest form, making it useful for traveling on foot or running around the battlefield. He also uses his keen sense of smell to track friends and foes alike.
Heavy Point
Heavy Point is Chopper’s human form, where he loses most of his reindeer features except his blue nose and fur. He becomes muscular with large arms, complete with fingers instead of hooves. This form provides Chopper with strength and agility to match most opponents, and he can also carry heavy loads.
Guard Point
Guard Point is achieved by turning into a ball of fur. Chopper grows his fur to the point that only his head and two legs are visible. This form has high defense, allowing him to withstand attacks from powerful foes like Big Mom. However, it lacks attack power, requiring Chopper to transform again to deal damage. Guard Point is also susceptible to fire.
Horn Point
Horn Point is similar to Walk Point but with larger horns. Chopper retains his human hands and reindeer-like face, but his hooves return after the time-skip. The bulging horns of this form offer great offensive power and allow Chopper to dig by using them as a shovel.
Jumping Point
Jumping Point is a form that Chopper seemingly discarded during his two-year absence. It allows him to jump high and elude his enemies, but it’s useless against opponents who can maneuver mid-air. Chopper also lacks strong attacks in this form.
Arm Point
Arm Point was another form that Chopper lost after the time skip. By taking a Rumble Ball, his arms became extremely muscular, making him stronger than before. This form increased his attack power enough to break huge boulders with a single punch.
Kung Fu Point
Kung Fu Point is one of Chopper’s go-to transformations for fighting after the time-skip. He assumes a wide body and head with stretched-out facial features, resembling the inhabitants of his training ground. In this form, Chopper is very proficient in martial arts, executing combo attacks and even breaking giant steel doors.
Monster Point chopper
Monster Point is Chopper’s strongest transformation, but it has specific requirements. Before the time skip, he needed to consume three Rumble Balls within six hours to access this mode. However, he would lose his consciousness and turn into a rampaging beast.
After the time skips, Chopper could control this form for a maximum of three minutes with one Rumble Ball, but he wouldn’t be able to move for a few hours afterward. Caesar Clown helped upgrade his Rumble Ball to allow him to use this form for up to 30 minutes, but it also came with a new side effect.
Baby Geezer
Lastly, after Chopper’s 30 minutes with Monster Point is up, he becomes a cute small being who speaks like an old man, known as Baby Geezer.
All in all, Tony Tony Chopper is a fascinating character with a unique set of transformations that have helped him on his journey with the Straw Hat Pirates.
