A teapot. This fruit was eaten by a teapot.

The Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Tanuki is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a tanuki hybrid and a full tanuki at will. It was eaten by Bunbuku — Tenguyama Hitetsu’s teapot — the fruit’s power giving life to an otherwise inanimate object. YouTube One Piece has done this before, but Bunbuku remains one of the most beloved examples in the fandom.

The lore behind it is pure Oda. This Devil Fruit turning a teapot into a tanuki is a deliberate inversion of the famous Japanese folktale “Bunbuku Chagama” — a story about a tanuki that transforms itself into a teapot. YouTube Oda flipped the myth on its head completely. And there’s a quietly tragic detail baked in too: by becoming a living creature, Bunbuku lost its ability to boil water — because sitting over a fire would now hurt it. YouTube It traded its purpose for a heartbeat.

The fruit has no combat capabilities whatsoever YouTube — it exists purely to give life, to create companionship, to turn something still into something that breathes. In a series full of world-ending powers, that kind of quiet gentleness stands out.

A deeply charming and lore-rich fruit from one of One Piece’s most culturally rich arcs.
