I know the answer is probably a simple "it's a stylistic choice", but how come
Chopper returns to his tiny hybrid form when he loses consciousness or falls
in to the sea? Wouldn't it make more sense for him to return to his reindeer
form, since that's his "original/pre-fruit" form? Maybe he sees his little
hybrid form as his "true" form now since he was shunned as both a reindeer and
a human when he was little? Considering he actually calls his reindeer form
"Walk Point" instead of it just being a natural transformation, maybe he
really doesn't consider that his true form anymore?

Why doesn't Chopper return to reindeer form when unconscious?


Welcome to Anime&Mange SE @floweringdusk,

Chopper doesn't change form because the "little" form he is in is the one that
he is accustomed to the most.

On the other hand, losing consciousness or falling in water doesn't stop the
DF powers. In sea water, DF users gradually lose their ability to move and are
extremly weak thus they are called "a hammer" in regards to swimming.

If you remember, after the fight between Luffy and Rob Lucci (think chapter
427) when Lucci is knocked out but still regains his leopard form regardless.

Ever since chopper ate the fruit he changed into that form, and was able to
change back into reindeer form because of it, it's not his "base" form
anymore, the little form is now.
