Of course he hugged him, he was grateful that Squardo was powering him up.

From "Squardo is only stabbing Whitebeard to power him up", to "Blackbeard has fetus brothers inside him that let him use extra Devil Fruits", the Whitebeard arc had the best dumb-as-poo poo theories

eat devil fruit: soul gets will/voice of that thing.

put soul into thing, then will/voice of thing into that soul, you got a gun dog or an elephant sword.

s.a.d. is just a bunch of individual animal wills/voice or w/e.

or something.

I guess Blackbeard is really keeping us in the dark about what his fruit does, huh.

Once the truth comes out, the tremors will reverberate through the entire fandom.

A devilish surprise indeed.

This is pretty blatantly the implication, since it's kind of honestly terrible relative to other Zoan fruits besides Plume Plume yet he calls it the king and just touching Ace and Luffy before took their powers away. There's a tidbit further on that sells this but it's a few volumes away for you I think.

no at the time, "squard stabs whitebeard to power him up" was not a joke, it was a legitimate theory someone in this thread had

It's definitely this, the real question is how he can use two fruits at once.

Also Pudding removing Reiju's memories after taunting her pretty much seals the deal that she's just evil.

Oh yeah this entire chapter was basically an utter annihilation of Pudding being a good person. Along with more suffering for Sanji.

The Flick's via font basically reading as 'gently caress' are super appropriate for that scene.

I wonder if beating big mom would reverse all the effects of her power, like giving the lifespan she took from people back. kinda like how it worked with moria

Since Sugars power can also be reverted in the same way, that's a safe bet.

Yeah, probably. Oh well. I wonder what other memories she's edited? Have we had any plot points this arc where we think Pudding did something because we, the audience heard one character telling another character about it? Because anything like that is now called into question.

edit: Also, anything told in flashback is potentially suspect. Like Pedro's backstory.

I dunno, this latest revelation about her Fruit combined with that Lola flashback opens up the possibility that she edited her own memories to bring about this personality shift. No way we're going to know for sure until it's explicitly spelled out for us, though.

Not really. The third eye possibly being an indicator of an alternate personality is still a fairly simple explanation.

I kind of like this idea because of the parallelism. Pudding can alter the memories of everyone around her, but she herself can't remember what her 'evil' personality does.
