The Elbaf arc has been a truly thrilling ride since it began. Some of the most monumental are: one piece For some of the most underwhelming characters we've ever seen, there was barely a chapter that didn't completely change what fans knew about the world.
Therefore, one of the most surprising things was the Imu's presence on the island and its incredible Domi Reversi ability that could turn even the most powerful enemies into slaves. But for some reason, this move didn't work on Luffy and Loki. So, let’s take a look at why this is and what it means. one piece from now on.
One Piece: Ranking of the 9 strongest characters of the Joy Boys era
The Joy Boy era had many strong characters. These are the most powerful people known during their time in One Piece.
What exactly is Domi Reversi and why is it so powerful?
Immu's greatest ability
Most surprisingly, the Elbaf arc revealed a significant amount of information about Imu herself, which caught some fans off guard as they believed this information would only come out at the end of the series. Although they are still a mystery villain, their main ability has been revealed to be Domi Reversi.
In the simplest terms, Domi Reversi is an ability that emanates through Imu's dark tendrils, completely transforming the intended target into a massive and seemingly invincible beast by greatly increasing its size and strength. The resulting monster can be healed from all types of normal damage. To make this ability even more terrifying, those who become Domi Reversi'd are completely under Imu's control, effectively turning them against who they originally were.
You will shed part of your life and gain unprecedented strength. In return for this blessing, you will hate each other!
In general, no matter how powerful the attack, the monster can fully regenerate. The only way to inflict any meaningful damage is through Conqueror's Haki Coating. This is a very advanced adaptation of Conqueror's Haki and is only seen used by the strongest characters in the series, which is not a completely viable way for 99% of the world to deal with it.
Conqueror's Haki itself is a very rare ability, and Conqueror's Coating is even rarer. However, Domi Reversi's mind control can be resisted, and mortal wounding of a person in this state has shown them to revert to their original form. Furthermore, Tony Tony Chopper is able to completely bypass his demonic state through unknown means.

Luffy and Loki are not affected by Domi Reversi.
the real reason
Episode 1178 one piece The comic appears to have concluded with Imu's ultimate battle with the Holy Knights, with a notable moment being St. Petersburg. It was the defeat of Sommers, Killingham, and even Imu herself, whose essence was drained from Gunko's body at the end.
While this appears to have delayed the battle at Elbaf, the chapter's key moment came earlier when Imu successfully used Domi Reversi on both Luffy and Loki to divert them and force them to fight each other. It was a shocking thing for fans, but Lee Mu showed no reaction as if it was something he had already expected.
Naturally, this moment sent fans into a crazy whirlwind of speculation and theory-making. Some have said that this ability doesn't seem to work on characters using Haki from Advanced Conqueror, but this theory falls apart completely when you think about the God Valley incident earlier in the arc, where Rocks D. Xebec was turned into a demon by Imu. Rocks is remembered as having the most powerful Conqueror's Haki in history, far more so than Luffy and Loki, so this theory is not pursued.
On the other hand, Domi Reversi may not be effective for those who have eaten the 'God' Devil Fruit. God Fruits are speculative Devil Fruits that give the user the power of an incredibly powerful mythological being or god, such as Nika for Luffy or Nidhogg for Loki.
A strange day with snow, lightning and thunder… the sky will be covered with giant beasts. And the sun god will appear with the drum of liberation!
If such a power is indeed the true counter to Domi Reversi, then it makes sense why only Luffy and Loki were able to deny its effects. However, a much more plausible theory is based on this, but to a much greater extent, that states that the Imu cannot change who has eaten the Devil Fruit. That's because everyone who's Domi Reversi'd so far hasn't had a Devil Fruit ability. The correlation may be deeper than most realize.
Many believe that Imu's Devil Fruit powers are those of Umibozu, a sea demon from Japanese mythology. There are also hints that Imu is the opposite of 'Umi', which means sea in Japanese. Because of the relationship between the devil fruit and the sea itself. one pieceThe Devil Fruit in the human body rejects the sea itself, so it is natural that it is not subject to Imu's control. The demonic form that Imu takes on Gunko's body supports this idea.
Of course, it's impossible to know for sure until Oda reveals the real reason Luffy and Loki are unaffected by Domi Reversi, but this seems like a very plausible explanation that has really big implications for the series' final war. Only time will tell the truth about this remarkable moment.
