The Revolutionary Army’s Identity and Mystery
459: Anonymous Pirate
With Ivankov around, anyone in the Revolutionary Army could be male or female.
A woman could be a man, and a man could be a woman.
So even if there’s a hot woman in the army, she might actually be a dude.
Mythology, Devil Fruits, and Wano Connections
494: Anonymous Pirate
LET’S GOOO.
This is getting hype as hell.
All the Revolutionary Army commanders showing up at once?
I thought the Yata-Yata no Mi, Mythical Zoan Yatagarasu, was Dragon’s power,
but looks like it belongs to Karasu, the North Army commander.
What’s Dragon’s Devil Fruit then?
Now the Revolutionary Army lineup is clear.
Makes me wonder if they’ll show up in the Blackbeard arc or the Shanks arc.
Wrap up the Reverie already and get us to Wano.

These guys all have super Japanese mythology-style abilities.
West Army commander Morley: kneading the ground with a spear — that’s the Heavenly Spear from the Kojiki, the creation myth of Japan.
With the Mori-Mori no Mi, he probably creates islands.
East Army commander Belo Betty: the Kobi-Kobi no Mi, inspiring people — that’s Kagura.
South Army commander Lindbergh: this one I don’t get. Maybe a non-Devil Fruit inventor?
But honestly, he’s an inventor who could collapse the One Piece world with airplanes.
North Army commander Karasu: Yata-Yata no Mi, Mythical Zoan Yatagarasu.
This is basically a Wano-tier faction.
Declaring War on the Celestial Dragons
522: Anonymous Pirate
The Revolutionary Army declaring war on the Celestial Dragons.
This is getting good.
Karasu Speculation and Abilities
532: Anonymous Pirate
Karasu from the Revolutionary Army.
Is he related to the thing Sabo was riding?
534: Anonymous Pirate
Honestly, the Revolutionary Army is the coolest faction.
540: Anonymous Pirate
Sabo being a kinda lighthearted character as number two is questionable,
but the Revolutionary Army feels more appealing than the Yonko.
Ivankov and Kuma are way too strong personality-wise.
544: Anonymous Pirate
>>540
Sabo standing above these guys is kinda insane.
543: Anonymous Pirate
Is that the guy talking at the front?
557: Anonymous Pirate
>>543
That’s probably Karasu’s ability.
Character Design and Visual Reactions
586: Anonymous Pirate
Naked with just a tie is peak.
631: Anonymous Pirate
Blackbeard’s subordinates are trash.
669: Anonymous Pirate
Karasu’s crow unit plus Lindbergh’s flying unit —
there’s definitely a Mariejois attack coming.
Is Karasu Even a Crow?
544: Anonymous Pirate
Is that even a crow to begin with?
It has no eyes and just looks like a silhouette.
Might be some substance or phenomenon shaped like a crow.
545: Anonymous Pirate
When Sabo was riding it, the front one was talking.
Maybe Karasu himself can transform too?
Leadership Structure and Numbers
637: Anonymous Pirate
There are nine seats at the round table, so that’s nine executives.
Ten if you include Kuma.
Didn’t expect Koala and Inazuma to be executives.
642: Anonymous Pirate
It’s probably Sabo’s and the army commanders’ seats.
Looks like Jula got cut.
642: Anonymous Pirate
It’s just a shadow shaped like a crow.
Logia-type Kage-Kage no Mi user.
Wording That Feels Off
717: Anonymous Pirate
Declaring war on the “Celestial Dragons” feels like a weird phrase.
Normally you’d say “World Government.”
Blackbeard, CP, and Power Scaling
719: Anonymous Pirate
Blackbeard ambushed them and still just ran away from CP.
Didn’t accomplish anything.
Dragon and the others escaped clean.
728: Anonymous Pirate
Only real fighters are Dragon, Sabo, four commanders who look like fodder,
and Ivankov who got wrecked by Magellan.
That’s worse than the Donquixote Pirates lol.
771: Anonymous Pirate
>>728
Blackbeard’s crew lost to Magellan alone.
And Magellan was strong enough that Jinbe, Crocodile, and Luffy all had to run.
That’s how busted Magellan is.
730: Anonymous Pirate
Magellan’s poison is broken whether you have Haki or not.
Too strong.
736: Anonymous Pirate
>>730
Sadly, characters that are too strong usually get retired lol.
Trauma, Tone, and Stakes
744: Anonymous Pirate
When the Celestial Dragons and Revolutionary Army clash,
what if Koala’s trauma resurfaces and she starts scrubbing floors again?
Betty and Fashion Commentary
775: Anonymous Pirate
Betty is basically naked.
796: Anonymous Pirate
Sunglasses plus a hat with goggles is such a weird fashion choice.
804: Anonymous Pirate
Is the goggles-on-hat thing Revolutionary Army style, not just Sabo?
813: Anonymous Pirate
>>804
Sabo dressed like that even before joining the army.
Maybe it became a trend because of him.
Or maybe it means nothing.
Villain Vibes and Likeability
899: Anonymous Pirate
Karasu looks like a straight-up villain.
Feels like he belongs in a horror game.
906: Anonymous Pirate
This is totally a Revolutionary Army popularity boost arc.
Unanswered Questions
739: Anonymous Pirate
How did Dragon and the others escape?
What happened to Burgess?
Morley Confirmation
40: Anonymous Pirate
“The digging ability user” is definitely Morley.
He escaped way before Shiki.
Endgame Anxiety — Blackbeard as Final Boss?
108: Anonymous Pirate
I want them to show way more of Blackbeard’s crimes.
Right now he doesn’t feel threatening enough as a final boss.
118: Anonymous Pirate
>>108
Exactly.
Blackbeard lost to Magellan, ran from Akainu,
his early members were weaker than Ace,
and the rest are Impel Down losers.
Fine for a mid-boss, but way too weak for a final boss.
Story Progression Awareness
106: Anonymous Pirate
It’s slow, but the story is clearly moving toward the final phase.
Visual Comparisons
143: Anonymous Pirate
Karasu’s body type and clothes look like Doflamingo.
He’d fit right into the Donquixote Family.
More Seats, More Confusion
160: Anonymous Pirate
There were five empty seats in the spoiler — are those the remaining executives?
Also weird that Koala was sitting. Is she really an executive?
162: Anonymous Pirate
>>160
Those are Sabo’s and the army commanders’ seats.
Power Balance Complaints
163: Anonymous Pirate
The Revolutionary Army looks lame.
Dragon and Sabo should be Yonko or near-Yonko level.
How do you balance this?
Sabo’s bounty is 600 million, so the commanders are like 400–500 million?
165: Anonymous Pirate
A guy jumps from 500 million to 1.5 billion overnight in this world.
Please stop equating bounty with strength.
I get what you’re saying, though.
166: Anonymous Pirate
Sabo casually won the Devil Fruit in the colosseum,
so it’s fair to say he’s around 1 billion-level strength.
Age and Growth Concerns
173: Anonymous Pirate
If there were people growing alongside Sabo, that’d be fine,
but the commanders all look like old dudes.
Luffy, Dragon, and Family Dynamics
178: Anonymous Pirate
Luffy’s bounty probably includes his family ties.
Even if he got captured, he doesn’t know much about the army anyway.
If he got executed like Ace,
probably only Sabo would come to save him.
179: Anonymous Pirate
>>178
Luffy’s Dragon’s son,
the entire army would come save him.
182: Anonymous Pirate
>>179
Dragon looks like the type to abandon his kid first.
Only Sabo would disobey orders and go save him.
347: Anonymous Pirate
>>182
At least Ivankov thinks Dragon would always act if his son were in danger.
Army Size and Realism
227: Anonymous Pirate
The Revolutionary Army is smaller than I expected.
Dragon, Sabo, four commanders, Ivankov, Kuma, Inazuma.
That’s it?
230: Anonymous Pirate
>>227
Kuma’s basically inactive.
Maybe they’ll free slaves at Mariejois and bulk up their forces?
235: Anonymous Pirate
>>230
Slaves are just civilians, not real fighters.
They’re mobs.
Even for an elite group, they should have more commander-level members.
There’s no number three.
240: Anonymous Pirate
They’re rebels against the system,
so having lots of weak members makes sense.
They use the Kobi-Kobi ability to turn civilians into allies.
Rebellion against the government.
The will of D spreading.
Overturning the system.
Final Reminder of the Endgame
106: Anonymous Pirate
It’s slow, but the story is definitely heading toward the finale.
👉 The Revolutionary Army Isn’t About “Cool” — It’s About Breaking the System
Why Japanese fans read the Revolutionary Army this way is simple:
they are judged not as “cool rebels,” but as a system-breaking force.
Power scaling matters less than symbolism, structure, and whether this faction can realistically overturn the world order.
👉 From Hype to Endgame Logic — A Clear Shift in How Fans Are Reading One Piece
Chapter 904 didn’t convince everyone the Revolutionary Army is strong.
But it did something arguably more important:
it made readers argue about endgame logic, not just hype —
a sign that One Piece has entered its final act.

Monkey D. Dragon figure
