Minions with shadows that come from relatively strong owners are harder to control. While this fruit can have many strengths it also has many weaknesses One of the major weaknesses of the fruit is that the user can only fully control minions whose shadows come from owners who are relatively weaker than them. This power up can be devastating depending on the number of shadows they implanted, and can ultimately cause the user to swell dramatically in size.ĭue to the shadows having many versatile usages, and properties that are akin to a Logia power, this makes the Shadow-Shadow Fruit one of the more powerful Paramecia-class Cursed Fruits. The most powerful strength of the fruit is that the user can use the shadows they implanted into their zombie minions into themselves to power themselves up. The moment when the user switches places with their shadow can also be used to dodge attacks in a similar fashion to when a Logia type Cursed Fruit user transforms into their element in order to dodge an attack. The user is also able to switch places with their shadow in order to get to different places. It is also able to change shape and size depending on the user's wishes. Their shadow, as a physical manifestation, is a being of strengths similar to that of a Logia Cursed Fruit user as their shadow, in that state, is impervious to damage.

They are then able to control their shadow and make it fight for them in their stead. The user is also able manifest their own shadow as a semi-liquid physical form. Of course, this contradicted by the claim that shadows can be returned to the owners by purifying or destroying the zombies.

The user must willfully say that a shadow should return to its master in order for it to be fully returned. Simply beating the user, or even killing them, will not return the shadows the user has stolen.

The Cursed Fruit user also has full control on whether or not the shadows return to their original owners. It is worth noting that while exposing one's self into daylight after having their shadows extracted would mean instant death, it appears that recipients who had their shadows extracted for some time can actually last a little more under the sun than those who had their shadows taken very recently, as was seen during the final battle against Moria, where the shadowless Straw Hat and Team Natsu members instantly had their upper bodies obliterated, while the Rolling Pirates actually lasted a little longer. Being unable to exist in light, the original owner is also unable to cast any sort of reflection and is also unable to be photographed. The original owner of the shadow is then forced to remain in darkness as they will vaporize if hit by sunlight. The Cursed Fruit user can use this effect to their advantage in battle as the original owner is completely defenseless until they wake up from their coma or are woken up. As seen during the Battle of Navyford, the Shadow-Shadow Fruit is especially useful in war-like conditions the bodies of the fallen soldiers in the battlefield making for easy zombification.Īs for the original owner of the shadow, they will enter a two day coma once their shadow is separated from them. Though the minion doesn't inherit any Cursed Fruit powers, the Shadow-Shadow Fruit user can manipulate the minion's shadow so that its body can simulate the body changing abilities, such as those of some Paramythia Cursed Fruit users. The minion by itself also doesn't inherit any Cursed Fruit powers of the original owner of the shadow.

The minion, however, is only as strong as the body it is composed of. The minion that is created retains the mannerisms and abilities of the victim. The size of the shadow itself doesn't have to be in proportion with the corpse's own in order to revive it, as seen when Moria reanimated Oz's colossal corpse using Luffy's shadow. With the shadow, they are then able to place it into a lifeless corpse in order to create a zombie minion. They are then able to cut it with a pair of scissors as if it were a cloth. With this power, the user is able to grab hold of their victim's shadow. The shadow follows the soul of its owner's movements, and cannot be changed from birth to death this Cursed Fruit allows the user to change that absolute rule. The first and foremost strength of the fruit, as demonstrated by Moria, is that its user is able to manifest shadows into a physical form.
