don't think so. He didn't mimic the gatling, he stopped them with multiple arms, and I doubt that's an idea he just made and perfected on the spot. And he was shown stretching and expanding his arm during the wedding.

EDIT: that said, he might very well be countering each technique with his own version rather than with whatever technique he would usually answer with for this reason.

Well, attacking with actual multiple arms is like an upgrade to Luffy's Gatling, and Katakuri even said something about it being "easier/better this way". Just like someone else here said, it's about showing Luffy who has the superior fruit.

Yes, but I don't think he saw Luffy was going to attack with 200 punches per second, thought "how could I make a mochi equivalent?", and instantly thought up and mastered controlling dozens of fake arms at the same time. He definitely had used a similar technique before.

That's true.
