Katakuri's personality
Katakuri shows loyalty to the pirates in his crew and especially to his mother, Big Mom, herself. In his first appearance, he did not hesitate to kill a man he considered a threat to his mother and throughout the marriage until the appearance of the Straw Hats, he was strongly attentive to everything who could pose a possible threat to his mother and the rest of his family. Katakuri has a serious temperament. He is also ready to do anything, he must protect his mother at all costs, for example by blocking Luffy's attempt to destroy Mother Carmel's photo 📸.
When it comes to protecting his family, Katakuri will do anything to protect them gratuitously. He intervened several times to protect his mother 🛡, Big Mom, and wanted to protect his siblings 👨👨👧👧 from Luffy who tried to attack them. However, if members of his family intervene in his fight, such as Charlotte Flampe , he is prepared to use kings' haki to knock out her and anyone who gets in the way .
Katakuri consciously tries to maintain her noble appearance as a person who is not gluttonous and lazy 😴🍩. His attempt to maintain his appearance is good to the point that no one ever sees him acting without manners. However, when Luffy and his bosses saw Katakuri on the ground eating donuts without manners , Katakuri was more willing to kill Luffy so that he would not expose what he saw to anyone and at the same time killed the leaders who witnessed the scene. Although he maintains a noble appearance, he is secretly gluttonous like his mother and lacks the manners he may try to show on the surface. 
Katakuri is not keen on showing his mouth to anyone since he was bullied as a child for showing his mouth to his family. He prefers to cover her in most of his appearances. When the 👩🍳 leaders saw his mouth, he killed them and tried to kill Luffy . However, as the battle continued, he removed the thing used to cover his mouth and was ready to face the gaze of his family and that of Monkey D. Luffy without wearing it. Even though his Flampe made fun of his appearance, Katakuri stood there and took their insults until he knocked them out with the haki of kings.
In battle, Katakuri shows himself to be arrogant by bragging about his powers to Luffy stating that he can do everything Luffy can do but better ↗. Katakuri later appears affable by complimenting Luffy on his idea to fight in the Mirror World. In his fight against Luffy, Katakuri was also patient, as he waited a while for Luffy to return to the Mirror World to fight him . When Katakuri is angry 😡 in combat, he is not focused on his enemy and is susceptible to being attacked (which made him vulnerable and constituted the weakness of his enormous power). But later he overcame his anger and stayed focused on the battle and did not let himself be attacked easily.
He also has a loyal side when he sees Luffy as a competent fighter and wanted to defeat him fairly without interruption ⚔. As the fight progresses, while he is on the ground and barely putting up a fight. His little sister, Charlotte Flampe, interferes in his fight with Luffy and Charlotte Katakuri yells at him to never provide unnecessary support in a battle between men . As a result, Katakuri impaled himself with his trident in order to reset the balance to 0 against Luffy. He nevertheless uses his Haki to knock out Flampe and his subordinates as punishment for their interruption 💥. He also apologized to his enemy for the interruption, he even told Luffy that he considered him an equal. He even told Luffy that he considered him an equal . He was then impressed that Luffy had gained mastery over his Haki and turned the situation around. After Luffy dealt him his first defeat, Katakuri got back on his feet and asked him what his future goals were. He was happy to hear her response, showing that he had come to deeply respect Luffy as a competent and powerful fighter. Thanks to Luffy's efforts, Katakuri did not care about his image and chose to embrace his true self.Katakuri Bonds
Charlotte Linlin: As her second son, Katakuri is fiercely loyal to his mother and his captain. He executes missions immediately. But the feeling that unites him with the latter does not seem to be reciprocal. When Katakuri attacked Luffy, Big Mom insulted him for trying to protect her, but Katakuri told her that Luffy's target was Mother Caramel's photo 🖼. Despite his loyalty to her, Katakuri asked Luffy that one day he would come back stronger to defeat his mother .
Charlotte Perospero: Katakuri has a good relationship with her older brother, Perospero. In the past, Perospero does not feel contempt for his little brother Katakuri's monstrous mouth but advised him to cover his mouth to make friends, which Katakuri refused ❌. He said he could defend himself by beating the bullies who made fun of him . When Pedro blows himself up with Perospero, Katakuri shows concern, then is relieved that he is still alive.
Charlotte Daifuku and Charlotte Oven: Katakuri is on good terms with her younger triplet brothers Daifuku and Oven. Daifuku and Oven also have no particular disdain for Katakuri's mouth and do not laugh when he eats donuts like a glutton. When Oven learned of Katakuri's defeat against Luffy, he tried to kill him but failed because of Ichiji. Daifuku nominated Katakuri to become the next captain if Big Mom were to die. ☠
Charlotte Brulee: Brulee is Katakuri's beloved younger sister. During their childhood, after Brulee was hit by bullies that Katakuri had defeated, Katakuri called Brulee an idiot when she said that her injury didn't hurt 🩹. Katakuri killed Brulee's attackers . When Katakuri saved Brulee from Caesar Clown, he grabbed her by force for helping their enemy but she told him she was being used and begged him to kill them. Brulee taunted Luffy about how powerful Katakuri was. When Katakuri lost, Brulee dumped Katakuri's defeat on everyone. Returning to his Mirror World, Brulee healed his wounds and spoke of their past .
Charlotte Flampe: Flampe has in the past idolized Katakuri and tried to interfere in her fight to get her attention and impress her. But instead, Katakuri stabbed himself in the same area where Luffy was injured and scolded her and her subordinates, telling them to never interrupt each other in a man-to-man battle. Flampe spoke ill of Katakuri and was disgusted by both his mouth and the blood he poured on his face until Katakuri and Luffy knocked out her and her subordinates with Dragon's Haki. kings as punishment.
Other Siblings: Katakuri is protective of almost all of his siblings. The possible exceptions seem to be for Pudding and Chiffon since he apparently never tried to intervene when Pudding was taunted as a child for having a third eye 👁 or when her mother abused and hit Chiffon simply because she looked like toLola .
Big Mom Pirates: As one of the Sweet Commanders, Katakuri is loyal to his crew and subordinates.
Katakuri's Enemies
Monkey D. Luffy: Unlike all enemies who are cruel to Luffy, Katakuri is one of Luffy's few honorable enemies. When Luffy tried to attack Mother Caramel's picture, Katakuri stopped him with his Mochi . When Luffy tried to show Big Mom the broken photo 🖼 of Mother Caramel, Katakuri chased after him and managed to catch him but couldn't stop him from showing the photo. When he was dragged into the Mirror World, Katakuri impressed Luffy. While fighting him, Katakuri overpowered Luffy using his fighting style similar to Luffy's.
When he lost his temper, Katakuri impressed Luffy by teaching him how to use Kenbunshoku Haki. During his fight, Katakuri was surprised that Luffy learned to see a little further than him into the future. After knocking out Flampe for his interruption, Katakuri showed his respect for Luffy and apologized to his enemy as he considered Luffy equal. While in his first defeat, Katakuri asked Luffy to become stronger to one day return to Totto Land to defeat his mother, Luffy affirmed it. Katakuri notices that Luffy sees far into the future and bows to his defeat. Luffy pays his respects to the sweet commander by placing his fedora 👒 to cover his mouth which resembles a pelican eel. Katakuri showed great respect for Luffy as a competent enemy and smiled upon learning that Luffy had escaped.
Vinsmoke Family: As part of the plot to assassinate his mother, Katakuri is an enemy of this Family. He attempted to kill Sanji with a jelly bean but Sanji was able to dodge it, ending up killing the priest ✝ . Katakuri easily defeated Ichiji a genetically engineered human with extreme ease. When they escaped, Katakuri formed the pursued squad to invade the Kingdom of Germa.
Capone Bege: At first, Katakuri showed his respect for his brother-in-law and told that Jigra tried to break up the wedding ceremony. When Bege revealed his betrayal, Katakuri showed her hostility towards him. After his escape, Katakuri formed a pursuit group to pursue Bege.
Charlotte Katakuri's skills and competencies
As Sweet Commanders, Katakuri's authority over the Big Mom Pirates is second only to Big Mom herself. His bounty of 1,057,000,000 suggests that the World Government considers him an extreme threat . Katakuri has great physical strength, capable of throwing candies with enough force to use them as bullets🔫. Some members of his crew said that he was the strongest of the three Sweet Commanders on the Yonko Big Mom crew. He is a powerful character as he withstood a blast of Kings' Haki from Big Mom and remained conscious during her screams. Even as a child, Katakuri's strength is compared to that of a monster when he resists the threats he faces. According to Daifuku, Katakuri is capable of becoming the next captain after Big Mom.
He is a sniper and possesses considerable accuracy, as he managed to hit Jigra from so far away that Bege didn't even notice him . He would have hit Sanji if the latter had not felt his projectile and had not dodged it.
Katakuri Devil Fruit
Katakuri ate the Mochi Mochi no mi , it is a special type of paramecia fruit that can be confused with a Logia. It allows him to create, control and transform into Mochi at will. Its Mochi is so thick and adhesive that it traps its enemies within it, although it loses its effectiveness when exposed to moisture. Katakuri is very creative with his powers as he made earplugs for himself and his siblings after Big Mom's scream immobilized them. He then used them to block the cannons of Big Father de Bege's fortress.
He frequently uses them in unarmed combat, sprouting several sources of mochi to serve as extra fists or legs; he can imbue them with Armament Haki to deliver hard punches or kicks. Thanks to his concentration, he is able to deliver punches with devastating power. He has awakened his powers to the point where he can transform inorganic matter into mochi, which increases his attack range and reach.
According to Jinbe, the only way to escape the stickiness of mochi is to make it liquid, as Jinbe used a black tea to help Luffy break free from mochi.
Marksman: Katakuri has a high skill accuracy when using candies to take down assassination targets.
Katakuri Weapon
In combat, the Katakuri's main weapon is a trident called Mogura 🔱 . He has immense throwing talent. His Mogura can tear off body parts and cause fatal blows to limbs.
Haki
Katakuri is capable of using all three types of Haki . He is an expert in using Observation Haki to peer into a moment in the future. He knows how to use Armament Haki at a very high level capable of inflicting burns on people as noted by Luffy. Katakuri is also one of the few people who can use Conqueror's Haki to project his will onto those around him, knocking them out.
Observation Haki
He has trained his Observation Haki to such a degree that he can see a little further into the future. He was able to detect a revenge plot on Big Mom that allegedly took place seconds later . His predictions proved correct when he learned how Capone Bege would react. Bege acknowledged that he was the biggest obstacle to his own assassination plan.
The Future that Katakuri predicts is extremely accurate, but it is limited by how well he is able to interpret visions of the future and whether it is actually possible to change them. At first, he had trouble opposing G4 Snakeman Luffy's Jet Culverin because he didn't understand the meaning of his visions of the future, but after realizing how the Jet Culverin was hitting him from weird angles , he was able to dodge it much more consistently and even managed to dodge through the Black Mamba 🐍 which was Gear 4's version of the Jet Gatling that incorporated numerous Jet Culverins fired in succession. What's even more impressive is that he not only dodged all of the attacks that made up the Black Mamba, but he did so while approaching Luffy and ended up delivering a knee to the face that completely interrupted him.
Armament Haki
Katakuri also possesses weaponry haki, as he demonstrated on Luffy and externally injured him. During their confrontation, he boasted of his superior usage to Luffy's. This was true against Luffy in his normal form as well as in Gear 4 Snakeman, as when they face each other, Luffy's fist always ends up being painful 🔥. However, for Gear 4 Boundman Luffy, Katakuri needed an Awakening Suit and an enlarged Block Mochi Fist in the form of Power Mochi to land a hit from Kong Gun.
Haki of Kings
Katakuri also possessed the Haki of Kings 👑, he uses it as shown when he and Luffy want to knock out his sister Flampe and the spectators who were watching their fight.

During his childhood, Katakuri's poor eating habits caused the size of his mouth to enlarge significantly . As a child, he suffered ridicule from others because of his mouth, but they knew that they should not provoke him further because of his strength. When Charlotte Perospero, his older brother, suggested that he cover his mouth, Katakuri refused because he was not afraid of those who looked down on him. He also gets along well with his brothers, who eat donuts with him and show no disgust towards his mouth.
During her childhood, her sister Brûlée was also harassed by bullies, after being chased by Katakuri, the bullies marked Charlotte Brûlée's face as revenge against Katakuri. Katakuri was shocked, realizing that it was because of his actions that his beloved sister had been hurt 🩹. Wearing his scarf, Katakuri struck down all the bullies who harmed his sister, and he began to shame his mouth because of his guilt towards Brûlée, covering her with his scarf all the time.

The Whole Cake Island arc
The beginnings of Katakuri
Katakuri first appeared after shooting an uncooperative guest at the Tea Party, he explained to Capone Bege what would have happened if the guest had been there before stating that he knows what the latter would say . Katakuri was quick to join in the wedding festivities, but he soon got a glimpse of the future that had him on his knees crying 💧.
Confused, Katakuri moved to see the cause which would turn out to be Vinsmoke Sanji telling Pudding that his third eye is beautiful, which stopped him from shooting him. As Pudding could not carry out the plan, Big Mom signaled the priest to shoot, but Katakuri saw that Sanji would dodge him and threw one of her candies at him so that he would kill Sanji himself. However, much to his surprise, Sanji easily escaped the shot that hit the priest, causing the Straw Hat to be amazed at his actions. Katakuri then jumped in front of his mother as Big Mom asked what happened to Pudding, although Katakuri told her that it was the least of his worries due to the impending chaos that Katakuri was not going to be able to stop as several clones of Luffy emerged from the cake.
As duplicates of Luffy are thrown onto the scene, the real Luffy attempts to break Carmel's photo. Katakuri stops him with his Devil Fruit powers and immobilizes him. When Big Mom accused him of meddling in her affairs, Katakuri informed her of Luffy's intentions to destroy Mother Carmel's photo . He demanded to know how Luffy learned about the photo. Jinbe then freed Luffy, telling him that Katakuri was using Mochi Mochi no mi 🍒, as he had told Luffy that only water could counter its effects before claiming that he was the one who told Luffy about the photo.
In the ensuing conflict, Katakuri sensed a horrible future and approached Luffy and Bege. He orders Bege to kill Luffy, but the latter adamantly refuses before launching his plot to assassinate Big Mom . As Katakuri went after Luffy, he told his brother Perospero to take down the Vinsmoke family. Bege attempted to restrain Katakuri by shooting him, but the bullets had no effect on him, due to his powers. Jinbe and Pedro then tried to fight him, but he managed to defeat them and used his abilities to corner Luffy. However, despite his efforts, Luffy managed to show Carmel's broken portrait to Big Mom, causing her to start screaming.
Katakuri, the Big Mom Pirates, and those in the wedding venue were taken over by Big Mom's scream until it stopped. After Big Mom's scream, Katakuri, along with her sister Charlotte Smoothie and other members of the Charlotte family, prepare to attack Bege and the Straw Hat. When Bege left his Big Father form, Katakuri surrounded him and Caesar, preventing them from escaping. He later engaged in battle against Vinsmoke Ichiji, whom he managed to easily defeat. Unbeknownst to Katakuri,the box of Tamatebako that Big Mom had received was taken by Kaido and ended up falling on the side of Big Mom's castle. As Tamatebako's box contained an explosive 🧨 , it exploded and Big Mom's castle fell. With the explosion, Katakuri and his family were almost doomed but Chief Streusen managed to turn the castle into a cake, allowing them to land on the ground safely but the Straw Hats and the Vinsmoke family were taken the opportunity to escape them.
As the Big Mom Pirates plan their next move to take on the Straw Hats, Katakuri and the others realize that Big Mom is on a rampage because the wedding cake 👰 was destroyed. He told his family that he intended to kill Luffy, so as not to be a future threat to their mother. However, Smoothie appears to be chased by a crazy Big Mom who craves the wedding cake.
As Perospero diverted Big Mom's attention to the Straw Hats, Pudding told the group that she had a plan to make the wedding cake to stop Big Mom's carnage. At one point, Katakuri, Perospero and the members of Big Mom's crew, with the help of Brulee, manage to enter the Mirror World and find a mirror on the Straw Hats' ship, in order to plan a Ambush for the Straw Hats when they reach the ship. As the Straw Hats rush towards the ship 🛥 , Luffy and Katakuri face off. With Pedro's suicide bomb attack on Perospero, the ship was freed from the grip of Perospero's candy technique and the ship avoided Big Mom. Luffy battles Katakuri on the boat for a while until he grabs Katakuri and uses Brulee to enter the Mirror World . Luffy breaks the mirror he used to enter this parallel world and says they can fight as much as possible where they are.
The two fight although it is Katakuri who has the advantage, thanks to his ability to predict the young captain's movements and use his own abilities to mimic them and amplify their use. As the fight progresses, Katakuri's siblings tell him about the Straw Hats and he stops Luffy from attacking them. When Luffy tries to use his Gear 4, Katakuri immediately uses his mochi to neutralize him so that he does not activate his transformation. The Sweet Commander then attacks the Straw Hat by burying him under a pile of Mochi. Thinking the battle was over, Katakuri decided to take a lunch break with his leaders. He built a small house where he sat and ate in private. Luffy, however, frees himself from the mochi and begins searching for his opponent. He attacks and destroys a piece of the house Katakuri was in upon seeing him on the ground eating donuts. Katakuri reacts angrily by immediately killing the chefs who saw his face and trying to kill Luffy. Having lost his composure, Straw Hat was able to land a blow on Katakuri and continued to attack him after activating his Gear 4 until Katakuri regained his composure in battle. The sweet commander compliments the latter for deducing his weakness and now understands why his brother Cracker 🍪 lost to the latter. 🍩 without any restraint. 
When Katakuri begins to pursue Luffy, the latter sees Brûlée and uses it as an opportunity to escape from the mirror world in order to regain strength after using the powers of his Gear 4. Stuck without Brûlée's presence, Katakuri decides to wait for Luffy's return to the mirror world. When Luffy returns to fight him, they are evenly matched and continue their fight for a few hours. For most of the battle, Katakuri still has the upper hand and on several occasions manages to significantly dominate Luffy.
After a few hours ⏲, Katakuri's little sister, Charlotte Flampe, and her team who form the Katakuri Fan Club came to watch the battle between Luffy and Katakuri. As Luffy begins to master his observation haki and becomes more powerful, Katakuri manages to land a major blow to Luffy's side. Confused as to why Luffy took this simple blow during the battle, he continues to beat Luffy up until he realizes that Flampe and his minions were behind the attack. He directs his attention to her and impales himself in the side to imitate the same injury he inflicted on Luffy in the confusion generated by Flampe. He then shouts at Flampe not to get involved in a battle between men. Having seen Katakuri's mouth, Flampe begins to insult Katakuri 🤬 for his appearance and even spits on him. Katakuri ignores the insults and returns to fight Luffy. Before resuming the fight, Katakuri and Luffy both use their conqueror's haki to knock out Flampe and the others. Katakuri then recognizes Luffy as an equal as they prepare for their final fight. 
The fight rages on and Katakuri attacks Luffy for not making this fight a challenge for him. Luffy recovers from the fight and decides to switch to Gear 4: this time in Snake-Man form . After transforming into his new form, Luffy becomes faster and begins delivering powerful blows to Katakuri. Despite being in a more powerful Gear 4 form than before, Katakuri is able to fight on the same level as Luffy and still overwhelm him. The fight continues until Luffy and Katakuri attack each other with their respective powerful attacks.
After exchanging blows, Katakuri and Luffy continue to fight long enough for them to lose consciousness. Luffy soon regains consciousness and comes out of the hole where Katakuri who woke up confronted Luffy again. Rather than attack, Katakuri asked Luffy if he was going to come back and defeat Big Mom 🎂. Luffy said that he will one day defeat her to become the Pirate King . Intrigued, Katakuri responded by saying that Luffy was looking far into the future before passing out again. Luffy then took his second hat and placed it over Katakuri's mouth when the latter fainted.
Katakuri's defeat was later reported by Brûlée who was in tears over the situation, as the other siblings were shocked and furious that their undefeated brother had been knocked down. Brûlée later takes care of Katakuri who was on the ground treating the wounds 🏥 he received during his battle against Luffy. Katakuri and Brûlée had a calm and calm conversation about what happened previously. Brûlée comforted Katakuri and claimed that she would never forgive Luffy for defeating Katakuri. Katakuri smiles upon hearing this, much to Brûlée's dismay .
