Arc-by-arc updates

God Valley flashback (Ch. 1162) — named, not shown

• Named as the intended recipient of the “Fish-Fish Fruit” Linlin claimed at God Valley (“I’ll give this one to Katakuri!!”, p. 10) — the fruit Kaido ultimately ate.
• See Fish-Fish Fruit, Kaido.

Whole Cake Island — Mirro-World epilogue with Brûlée; the childhood-shame backstory (Ch. 902)

• In the Mirro-World, after his loss to Luffy: lies on his back beside Brûlée and admits his lifelong pride — that he “never put my back on the ground” — “was nothing but a lie” (p. 13).
• Childhood backstory (pp. 14–16): mocked as “the pelican eel” for his ripped, sharp-toothed mouth; when he beat up the bullies they took revenge by scarring sister Brûlée’s face. He blamed himself (“it was my fault this happened to her”) and vowed to “make them fear my perfection!!! I’ll show no weakness!” — the etiology of his hidden mouth and “perfect man” persona. See Katakuri’s Hidden Ripped Mouth Behind The Scarf.
• Uses his future-sight (advanced Observation Haki) to pre-empt Brûlée’s spoken questions (“See? I knew it.”, p. 16); confirms “[Straw Hat] left the territory earlier” and acknowledges Luffy, though Brûlée refuses to forgive him.

Whole Cake Island — his defeat goes public (Ch. 898) — referenced, not shown

• Not present, but central: Brûlée reveals to the Big Mom Pirates that Katakuri lost to Luffy in the Mirro-World, breaking his “legendary winning streak” — the crew refuse to believe it (“He would NEVER lose!!”, pp. 8–9). His invincibility mystique is publicly shattered.

Whole Cake Island — referenced; Luffy’s escape from the duel (Ch. 897) — referenced, not shown

• The Big Mom Pirates note Luffy “escaped Brother Katakuri and popped out of the mirror first” (p. 10) and that the diversion is “neither Katakuri nor Straw Hat” (p. 8). Katakuri himself is NOT depicted in this chapter.

Whole Cake Island — Mirro-World duel ends; knocked out by Luffy (Ch. 896)

• Locked in an exhausting, mutually destructive duel with Luffy inside the collapsing Mirro-World; mochi-power blows traded, both fighters drained near to collapse (pp. 6-15). (His mochi techniques belong to his Mochi Mochi no Mi, named in earlier chapters of this window; the fruit name is not printed on this page — no new Devil-Fruit data from 0896.)
• Mutual respect: asks Luffy whether he’ll come back “to topple Big Mom” someday, and on hearing Luffy’s “I’m the man who will be King of the Pirates!!!” vow responds “you’re looking quite far… into the future” (pp. 13-14). See Katakuri’s Powers Mirror Luffy’s.
• Knocked out by Luffy near the chapter’s end — shown sprawled (p. 15), then confirmed by the disguised Pekoms/“Mystoms” (“Looks like ya knocked out Katakuri!!”) as his siblings cry out “Brother Katakuri!!!” / “Nooo!! Brother!!” (p. 16).

Whole Cake Island — Mirro-World duel vs Luffy’s Gear-4 “Snake-Man” (Ch. 895)

• Faces Luffy’s new Gear 4 “Snake-Man” in the Mirro-World; his future-sight (advanced Observation Haki) reads the punches, but the mid-flight curving/acceleration starts slipping past him (“Why did it come from the side?!”, p. 5) and a Jet Culverin lands (pp. 7-8). See Mantra Composure Dependence The Precognition Can Be Jammed, Haki.
• Counters with his Mochi-power “Buzz Cut Mochi” spiked defense (pp. 9, 16), snaring and shredding Luffy before it shatters.
• Huffing but guarded mid-fight: when Luffy openly yells his pain/hunger (“Aaah, the pain!! I’m so hungry!! It hurts!!!”, p. 12), Katakuri only asks “What… are you saying?”; his fanged mouth is glimpsed as he strains (p. 10), reinforcing his guarded/hidden persona.
• Declares “This is the end, Straw Hat!!” and clashes Buzz Cut Mochi head-on with Luffy’s King Cobra at the cliffhanger (p. 17; outcome withheld — forward).
• (His Mochi techniques shown — “Buzz Cut Mochi” — belong to his Mochi Mochi no Mi, named in earlier chapters of this window; the fruit name is not printed on-page in 0895 — no new Devil-Fruit note from this chapter.)

Whole Cake Island — Mirro-World: spent, calls the finish (Ch. 894)

• The Mirro-World duel with Luffy grinds on; both he and Luffy are spent, crashing through the floor (pp. 6-8, 16). Calls the finish — “It’s time to end this!!!” (pp. 16-17).

Whole Cake Island — Mirro-World: rejects the tainted win; the fanged mouth bared; twin Conqueror’s Haki (Ch. 893)

• Realizes his sister Flampe secretly lamed Luffy with a silent numbing-needle blowgun, and that his belly-gouging “fatal” blow only landed because of that interference — and refuses a tainted victory: “Do you really think I want to win that way?!” (p. 9).
• Stabs his own leg to even the handicap and bares his hidden fanged mouth — the wide, ear-to-ear maw of sharp fangs he has concealed his whole life — telling the jeering crowd to laugh at him too if they laugh at Luffy (“If you’re going to laugh at that idiot… then laugh at me too!!!”, pp. 11-12, 15). His former superfan Flampe recoils and calls him a monster. See Katakuri’s Hidden Ripped Mouth Behind The Scarf.
• Uses a mochi technique “Anémone” (p. 5); demonstrates Conqueror’s (Supreme King / Haoshoku) Haki alongside Luffy to knock out the interfering spectators (pp. 15-16) — Katakuri’s Conqueror’s Haki confirmed on-page. See Haki.
• Concedes Luffy’s equality: “I no longer assume that you are inferior to me” (p. 17).

Whole Cake Island — Mirro-World: names Luffy’s nearing Color of Observation (Ch. 892)

• In the Mirro-World, beats a battered Luffy down repeatedly yet cannot keep him there (“Stop getting up.”, p. 16).
• Narrates that Luffy is “getting closer and closer to color of observation” and that “the unthinkable could happen” if he doesn’t finish him soon (p. 16) — flagging Luffy’s nearing future-sight Haki and Katakuri’s own reliance on it. See Luffy Begins To Read Katakuri’s Future-Sight, Haki.
• Attacks with his mochi powers — “MOCHI… THRUST!!!” (p. 17) — as the chapter cuts away.

Whole Cake Island — Mirro-World: the duel resumes (Ch. 888)

• In the Mirro-World, taunts the returned Luffy — he could have fled; did he come back to plead to serve under him? — before the fight resumes (pp. 2-3).

Whole Cake Island — Mirro-World chase; the Haki-growth philosophy (Ch. 886)

• Chases Luffy across the Mirro-World’s mirror-towns (pp. 18-19). Realizes Luffy knows about the Cacao Island rendezvous (“because I overheard them talking”).
• Lectures that “the real advancement in Haki happens during extreme use in battle” and dismisses Luffy’s future-sight ambition — “Stop dreaming, shrimpy!!!” His billion-tier bounty is implied (“the billion-berry man”). See Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply, Haki.

Whole Cake Island — counters Gear Fourth; reads the time limit (Ch. 885)

• Counters Luffy’s Gear Fourth Boundman (Kong Gun) with Mochi Mochi techniques — Power Mochi, Flowing Mochi — and declares himself “effectively invincible” so long as he stays “calm and cool” (pp. 3-4), implying a composure-dependent vulnerability.
• The instant Luffy begins to deflate he reads Gear Fourth as “a power-up with a time limit” — “I’m not soft enough to let you get away” (p. 5). See Gear Fourth Boundman Has A Strict Time Limit And Post-Use Cost.
• Pursues the fleeing Luffy into Brulee’s mirror network as Luffy escapes with the hostage Brulee; protective alarm when Big Mom threatens Brulee — “Damn!! Brulee!! Wait, Straw Hat!!!” (pp. 7-8).

Whole Cake Island — Mirro-World duel; the future-sight made explicit (Ch. 884)

• His mochi is shown to behave like an intangible Logia — Luffy’s bare punches pass through; only Armament Haki connects with the solid form (pp. 3-4). He is “merely reforming my body to efficiently dodge your attacks” (pp. 5, 7).
• His real strength is exposed as advanced Color of Observation Haki / future-sight, not the mochi. Luffy names it outright and begins reading attacks a beat ahead; struck for the first time in years — “how many years has it been since I was punched…?” — Katakuri concedes that future-sight requires a calm mind and that he gave Luffy the opening by losing his composure, and is “starting to understand how” his brother Cracker was beaten (p. 8). See Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply, Haki.
• Attacks: Rhino Schneider, Power Mochi, Unstoppable Donuts. Factory staff restate his billion-berry bounty and that he has “never lost a fight in his life” (p. 15).

Whole Cake Island — the merienda secret; the hidden mouth revealed (Ch. 883)

• Buries Luffy under a colossal multilayered Mirror Mochi to suffocate him and end the fight — he is 40 minutes late for his daily merienda (afternoon snack), and his pastry chefs fret over the cold tea (pp. 3-5).
• The secret: Katakuri eats completely alone — “nobody’s ever seen Master Katakuri in the act of eating” (p. 6). His billion-Berry “perfect man” image (cold, proud, never lies down, “looks down on the earth”) is a deliberate construction (p. 11).
• Caught by Luffy sprawled on his shrine floor, donut-drunk, his scarf down to reveal a huge ripped, jagged shark-toothed mouth stretching ear-to-ear (pp. 10, 12) — “So, you caught a glimpse… of how I look when I eat!!!” See Katakuri’s Hidden Ripped Mouth Behind The Scarf.
• In shamed rage he impales his own loyal pastry chefs with Edged Mochi — “No one who has seen my true form can live!!!” (pp. 13-14).
• Reveals “there are even levels to the color of Armament!!” (p. 14) — wields an advanced tier of Busoshoku Haki. See Advanced Armament Haki Has Levels Of Color, Haki.
• His predictive future-sight Observation falters once his composure breaks: Luffy lands a clean kick he “didn’t dodge” (p. 15), and Luffy says he is “starting to understand… your powers” (p. 16). See Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply, Luffy Begins To Read Katakuri’s Future-Sight. Uses Rain-Fall Mochi (p. 16); takes a Gear-Four Kong Gun (p. 17).
• (SBS Vol 88, p. 18: Katakuri, Daifuku, and Oven are triplets, born November 25.) technique/sbs-leak

Whole Cake Island — Mirro-World duel; the fruit AWAKENS (Ch. 882)

• The Sweet Commander beats a downed Luffy in Mirro-World and philosophizes that “nobody decides to die because they want to — most death is unexpected and unwanted” (p. 2).
• Fights with a trident named “Mole” (p. 6), threatening to gouge off Luffy’s “least important parts” in order. His sister Brulee lionizes him (p. 3): never once touched the ground, “born standing,” “fell asleep sitting upright,” never laid down in his life, “looks down on the earth,” undefeated, “the greatest masterpiece of the Charlotte Family.” Katakuri snaps at her to shut up.
• Reveals his Mochi-Mochi fruit is AWAKENED — converts the Mirro-World floor into mochi (“Flowing Mochi”; “the ground turned into mochi”), which Luffy ties to Doflamingo’s Dressrosa awakening (“It’s that thing Doflamingo did!!” / “Naturally.”) (pp. 10-11). See Charlotte Katakuri, Devil Fruit Awakening.
• Future-sight tell: he and Luffy each strike where the other is about to move — “The same goes for me. It makes everything twice as tiring!! It’s stressful” — an early, deniable hint of his advanced Observation Haki (p. 10). See Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply.

Whole Cake Island — dominates Luffy; voices his line a beat early (Ch. 881)

• In the Mirro-World, dominates Luffy with mochi strikes (Willow Mochi), leaving him bloodied; smirks the fight “will be over quick” (pp. 13-16).
• Voices Luffy’s “‘I don’t intend to die here’” a beat before Luffy says it (p. 17) — another future-sight Observation-Haki tell. See Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply.

Whole Cake Island — roused in the Mirro-World; the duel re-armed (Ch. 880)

• Recovering in the Mirro-World (his soldiers can’t move “without you up and active,” p. 10); directs the plan to torch the Sunny while Mama crushes the crew (p. 11).
• On seeing Luffy burst through a mirror: “Straw Hat? Weren’t we supposed to be having a one-on-one…” — re-arms the agreed duel (p. 12).

Whole Cake Island — the Mirro-World duel begins; “strongest of the Sweet 3 Generals” (Ch. 879)

• Bounty stated to be worth “a billion berries” (≈1,000,000,000); called “the strongest man in the Sweet 3 Generals” (pp. 4, 11).
• First sustained on-page fight: traps Luffy in the Mirro-World and mirrors/out-performs every rubber technique with the Mochi Mochi no Mi — a mochi “Hawk Gatling” (“more efficient this way”), evasions, and a bigger answer to Luffy’s Elephant Gun (pp. 11-17). Boasts “there’s nothing your powers can do that mine can’t… I have you beat in both speed and strength” (pp. 12-13). See Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply.

Whole Cake Island — pursues the Sunny; isolates the duel with Luffy (Ch. 878)

• Reacts to Pedro’s blast engulfing his brother Perospero (“PEDROOO!!!”), then chases the fleeing Sunny with stretching mochi (pp. 6, 9, 17). Mocks the Straw Hats for “getting emotional.”
• Declares “You will not leave… while I am here!!!” (p. 11); takes Luffy’s Elephant Gun (p. 12). Luffy taunts “You can see it coming, but you can’t stop me!!” (p. 13) — see Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply.
• Follows Luffy into Brulee’s Mirro-World for a one-on-one and cuts off the mirror passage back to the ship so no one can interfere (pp. 18-19), ending on a glare-off with Luffy.

Whole Cake Island — pursues the Sunny; powers mirror Luffy’s (Ch. 877)

• Pursues the Straw Hats from the Mirro-World; observes that the lightning strike wiped out only Big Mom Pirates forces (p. 6).
• His stretching/malleable mochi powers are flagged on-page as “like Luffy’s!” (p. 11); duels Luffy, who lands “Hawk Gatling” (p. 12) and is urged to “drive Katakuri off the ship” (p. 11). See Katakuri’s Powers Mirror Luffy’s.

Whole Cake Island — guards the Sunny “just in case” (Ch. 874)

• Recurs on-page (p. 17): the Sweet Commander posts himself at the Thousand Sunny’s southwest-coast position to ambush the Straw Hats “JUST IN CASE…”, even though his crew rates their escape odds “zero” — an over-hedge against an outcome he’s been told is impossible. (Not a first appearance — Katakuri is shown well before 0874.) See Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply.

Whole Cake Island — vows to kill Luffy himself (Ch. 873)

• Has already dispatched troops after Straw Hat and Bege; takes Brûlée with him to pursue (p. 4).
• Declares he senses Luffy “ought to be snuffed out now… before he becomes a true threat to Mama” and “I will bring down Straw Hat Luffy myself!!” (p. 5) — his perceptive edge again, seeding the coming personal duel. See Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply.

Whole Cake Island — commands the pursuit after the collapse (Ch. 872)

• Stays composed amid the Chateau’s collapse — “Calm down…” (p. 10) — and takes command of the response.
• Orders the pursuit split into two squads — one after the Straw Hats, one to bring back Bege’s head — directing Daifuku to assemble them (p. 19).

Whole Cake Island — jamming the Big Father (Ch. 869)

• Jams every one of Big Father’s cannons with mochi so they can’t be fired (“…are jammed with mochi!! KATAKURI!!”, pp. 15-16), neutralizing the fortress’s firepower from outside.

Whole Cake Island — closes the rooftop; no escape (Ch. 868)

• Closes the chateau rooftop alongside the Big Mom forces, cutting off the alliance’s escape — “there’s no escape… and no hope… of winning!!!” (pp. 6-7, 15).

Whole Cake Island — future-sight tell; the Five-Thousand-Brick Fist (Ch. 865)

• Taunts the candy-trapped Vinsmokes that “in this one situation, I too can read the future!!” (p. 5) — another on-page beat of his advanced Observation-Haki future-sight. See Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply.
• Demonstrates his mochi powers and lands the named attack “Five-Thousand-Brick Fist!!!” (Gosenmai-gawara Seiken) (p. 8).
• Targeted by Gang Bege’s gunfire (“You’re dead, Katakuri!!!”, p. 7); dodges via mochi (“FWOOP!!”).

Whole Cake Island — the wedding chaos; future-sight again in play (Ch. 864)

• Reacts to the wedding-crash (“What kind of interruption is this?! Oh, dammit!!”, p. 5).
• Future-sight again in play (faculty already established Ch. 860/Ch. 862): turns pale and moves in having “seen a future of impending disaster” (pp. 15, 17). See Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply (seed += 0864; Pedro voices the “everyone has an equal right to change the future” counter, p. 17).

Whole Cake Island (Ch. 863) — the Mochi Mochi no Mi named; traps the real Luffy

• Intercepts the real Luffy out of the clone-swarm and traps his limbs in mochi via the Mochi Mochi no Mi (named on-page as a “special Paramecia”), revealing the rest are Brûlée-altered animals (pp. 13-15).
• Stops the plot to smash Mother Carmel’s portrait; rebuked by Big Mom for “calling the shots.” Insists the portrait’s importance is something “only family should understand” (p. 14) — Carmel-secret tell.
• Luffy escapes the mochi with a water-aided Shoulder Throw (p. 14).

Whole Cake Island (Ch. 862) — recurring appearance; future-sight again demonstrated

• Appears on-page again (pp. 9, 13, 15; NOT his first appearance — already shown Ch. 860/Ch. 861) — upper face/eyes and scar-marks visible, lower face hidden by his high scarf. Oversees the wedding/assassination as Big Mom’s enforcer.
• Future-sight (again demonstrated; faculty already established earlier in the arc): he knows in advance that Pudding will fall to the ground (“Why will you fall to the ground…?!”, p. 9) and that Sanji will dodge the assassin’s bullet (“No good! He’ll dodge!”, p. 13) — “He saw the future!!” (p. 9). Reports to Big Mom that “the situation is unpredictable… even I can’t act to control it” (p. 15). See Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply.

• First clearly shown on-page . Provides security at the tea-party gate.
• Instantly kills the gate-crashing organ dealer Jigra with a thrown jelly bean before Jigra can fire a second time (pp. 13-14).

Re-confirmed as one of the Sweet 3 Generals, 2nd son of Charlotte, bounty over a billion; narration calls him “the biggest source of trouble at the party.” Seeds Katakuri Future-Sight Observation Haki Predicts Beges Reply.

• Named as one of the three Sweet 3 Generals gathering at Whole Cake Chateau — “it’s been forever since we had all three together” (p. 5) — alongside the just-defeated Cracker and Smoothie. Referenced as having “arrived” but not shown.
