The risk of zoan devil fruits and the result of a failed awakening

So it has been officially unveiled that guards were nothing more than former Devil fruit users. It has to be the special zoan species of the devil fruits, since this enables the user to have the skills of another living being-be it other animals, people or animal people.

With Eiichiro Oda's confirmation of years of theory, it has now also been proven that these devil fruits have a great risk. Each of these devil fruits can be awakened and give the user incredible power, but only if the whole thing does not fail.

It demands an iron will to stay with mind and keep your personality as soon as the devil fruits awaken. If the will, personality or the mind of the person are too weak, the devil fruit can overwrite all of this. However, only a few devil fruit users can fight them and keep control of themselves.

What is your opinion on Eiichiro Oda's confirmation of this old fan theory? Have you expected it and did you already know what it is all about or is it new to you?
