One Piece 1163 Spoilers: Oda Drops a Clue to How Imu Used Domi Reversi on Rocks D Xebec

One Piece Chapter 1163 spoilers hit hard: Imu unleashes Domi Reversi on Rocks D Xebec—and the shocking conditions to trigger it send the stakes skyrocketing.

Quick heads up: heavy One Piece manga spoilers ahead. If you want to go into Chapter 1163 clean, bail now.

Alright, now that it’s just the degenerates like me: the early Japanese scans for Chapter 1163 finally show Imu using that mysterious Domi Reversi move on Rocks D. Xebec during the God Valley flashback, and the chapter quietly slips in some very specific rules about how that power actually works. It’s one of those chapters where Oda doesn’t spell it out, but the pieces line up a little too neatly to ignore.

What Chapter 1163 seems to reveal about Domi Reversi

Based on how the scene plays out at God Valley, Domi Reversi doesn’t look like a press-button-and-win ability. There are hoops to jump through, and Imu checks them off in order:

• Location matters: The ability appears to only land if the target is on their own home turf. That tracks with how deliberately Imu picks moments and people, and it explains the timing here: wait until the target steps into their homeland, then strike.
• Blood comes into play: There has to be contact with the target’s blood (whether that’s literal or metaphysical contact is still fuzzy). Before Rocks can finish morphing into that demonic form, Imu straight-up stabs him. It reads less like a wound and more like a key turning in a lock.
• Emotional vulnerability is part of the setup: Imu doesn’t just injure Rocks; he goads him, spikes his rage, and shoves him into pain. The chapter strongly suggests that agitation is part of the mechanism — make the target volatile, and the control sticks. If that’s right, it could even color why Rocks feels so unnervingly vicious in this flashback.

Imu vs basically everyone, and he walks it off

There’s a huge double-page splash that’s pure fan-brain fuel: Rocks, Roger, Garp, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom all unloading on Imu at once. The kind of pile-on where anyone else would be paste. And yet Imu? Unbothered. Not even a scuff. It’s a wild visual flex and a pretty clear statement on where he sits on the food chain.

What this sets up for the endgame

Imu has lived in the shadows of this story for ages, but with Domi Reversi looking like a targeted, ritual-like ability — place, blood, and a cracked-open psyche — he’s starting to feel less like a tough boss and more like the guy who writes the rules. The chapter even tees up a nasty stinger: the implication that Imu may sic Rocks on his own family once the control takes hold. Cruel, yes, but consistent with the terrifying myth around him.

When you can read it officially

One Piece Chapter 1163 is scheduled to drop October 26, 2025. As always, you can read it on Viz Media. These impressions come from early Japanese scans, so expect the official release to sharpen some of the wording, but the beats above are pretty clear in the art and sequencing.
