When eating Hito your race changes to human. Instead, make it so you keep your current race but also gain the human race skills. Would give the fruit an actual use.
Side suggestion: Make it feedable to dogs, doing so turns it into a relatively strong follower similar to Doppleman or Black Knight, however you can make it sit/follow like a normal dog would.
(Don’t judge the suggestion based on the side part, was just an idea I had while writing this)
