I can see Karasu's ultimate attack being called *NEVERMORE*

There's a symbolism to a leader of the Revolutionary Army being a manifestation of soot. Burnt organic matter, typically associated with low-class peasants...rising up to strike the kings of the world down. The living soot thing reminds me of Fairy Tale's make magic. Being able to turn your logia ability into living-seeming things definitely seems like an escalation of mastery. While I could see Haki being involved, I imagine it's more of a devil fruit thing. I didn't think about it before, but soot probably has a great compatibility with the Mera Mera no Mi. I wonder if Sabo and Karasu have any combo moves?

The Revolutionary Army having two logia users is very impressive. Also deadly combo. Soot, fire & wind (Dragon)

I personally don't think Karasu's crow stuff comes from an awakening, I just think it comes from a different specialization. Almost every character we've met with logia's have been fighters, and they have almost solely focused their devil fruit training on honing their combat ability. Reflexively turning parts of your body into the element or creating holes so haki attacks pass through you, for example, is an extremely difficult task to train for and it's what most competent logia users use in fights, and requires an immense amount of focus, quick reflexes and probably some observation haki. Instead of training such combat feats, Karasu focused on his infiltration and spying abilities, his awareness while in his logia form. remember, a logia make the user become the element, the don't just summon it. A fireball created by Sabo or Ace is just as much part of their body as an inflated fist from luffy is, so since the full logia is part of the user, you should be able to train yourself (again, probably mixed with observation) to be able to spread your consciousness along your entire body, even when parts are separated. Flying as a flock of crows instead of as 1 whole person becomes as "easy" as moving each limb of your body in different directions in different patterns. Flying out multiple crows to different locations and listening from each one, feeling things touch them as if people are touching your skin (which they technically are doing), it's all just as impressive as other logia combat feats we've seen, it's just the first that was specialized in something not-combat.

I can’t thank you enough for reminding me of my Son. Your energy and sense of humor are so much a part of you that you are unique and special. I love it. I hope that never changes. Smile on.

After seeing Karasu Fruit in action again that now knowing that it's a possible Logia. It's making me now think that Prince Grus's Clay Fruit could be a Logia as well. Since the way that he uses his Devil Fruit is similar to how Karasu uses the Soot Fruit to make Crows. Honestly I wouldn't mind it honestly I've been wanting to see more Logias.

Karasu design and DF power is a reminder of a dark past, the *BLACK DEATH.* The plague mask that he wear and the animal crow have something thing in common. They are both associated with death. I believe the reason why Oda chose Karasu DF to be soot is because during the Black Death. People are dying so fast that the only way of getting rid of all the corpses fast enough is by burning them, and body are organic matters. During the Black Death, crows are known to be hanging around infected corpses and eating them. I believe Karasu is the head doctor of the Revolutionary Army.

Well you have to remember that soot can and does start fires. You clean your chimney both to clear it for the flow of air, but also because particle build up could be flammable. So Sabo being able to ignite the soot probably would work and depending on how much Karasu gets to decide on its consistency you might effectively get fire that sticks to targets or hot soot that clings like tar. It would not be something you'd want to get on yourself.

You know what, I’d recruit karasu to my basketball team. So we have: 1.) Luffy 2.) Bellamy 3.) Sanji 4.) Kuma- center with awesome passing ability 5.) Doffy- cheating. Literally just to cheat 6.) Karasu- communication and bird’s eye view Oh and 7.) Yasopp or Usopp (for those threes)

Karasu is one of my favorite designs and I really hope we see more and enough to the point I can play him in a game haha Like a pirate warriors or something.

I think it makes a lot of sense that Logia awakening is the persistence of their elements, whether on micro or macro scale. It covers both of what the Admirals did at Punk hazard and what Karasu is doing now. Maybe those elements also have small form of sentience. We saw that with Akainu's Magma Dog and even one of the attacks Aokiji did back in Marineford.

Thank you for the video! I always enjoy watching your videos!

Karasu is the example that devil fruit abilities are much more dependant on the desires and cognition of the individual than the limitations of the ability itself. For example: Another use of the Gum Gum Fruit would be to entangle and choke out opponents like a boa constrictor, but Luffy didn't ever touch upon that ability. Only people like Luffy would not develop that side of his abilities and instead focus on using the durability of rubber to do superhuman things. Doflamingo uses his threads to manipulate but his ability could easily be used to make fancy clothes for people. Maybe some else would be able to make colored threads instead of only white threads. Otama's fruit could easily end up creating a situation similar to the one the Toy Toy Fruit caused in Dressrosa, but that doesn't happen because Otama isn't evil. Edit: another very obvious examples would be the Art Art Fruit, which can definitely be way more than what it is, the Kilo and Ton fruit that would be perfect for brawlers and finally Brook's fruit that could've resurrected him fully, had he not been unfortunate, but then he wouldn't be able to walk on water and all that jazz.

This has immediately become one of my favourite fruits in the series. The sheer versatility and creativity is amazing!

Karasu being able to talk through his crows seems a little similar to prince grus' clay fruit being able to make the golems

Maybe prince grus is also an awakened logia because his clay figures are somewhat similar to karasu’s crowd in how they operate

Love the video and keep up the great work tekking

thank you tekking i was about to research about his fruit cause since chapter 1084 reminded me of it so thanks for doing this

There is no way Zuneisha has not eaten 2 devil fruits in his 800+ years of life. It was revealed that his favorite past-time was eating fruits off of sky-islands. Yet, he's still around.

Awesome video tekking Keep up the Crow work. I don't know but awesome video man.

I love how Tekking didn't eat crow from his last video on this guy. Also for the god knight i have this idea of there powers how could you have two or more devil fruits? Answer you eat one your weapon a nother and your armor another

I knew I liked your channel. After all, Birds of a feather flock together!

what if Oda did a one-shot where Karasu was a lawyer this manga would be called Better Caw Saul

I have never even more excited for a devil fruit video

0.0 soot prints, in situations of extremely heat and or fire. It can leave the permanent imprint of a image in an object. Shaping his soot makes a lot of sense, and being able to imbue them into object makes a sense as well.

I absolutely love the pun joke's keep them coming for future videos please 🥺

On the topic of combo attacks with Sabo and Karasu, there is a phenomenon called a smoke explosion. It’s when fire ignites components of smoke that haven’t been entirely destroy by the fire. It then combines with the oxygen in the elevated space and often leads to an explosive reaction.

Urchin facts intro best animal facts intro

are your videos monetized at all? i hardly get any ads on your videos. im not complaining, but you know. u make great content.

Thanks for the jokes Matt, really helped brighten my day whilst still learning about one piece. Best combo ever!

A pile of cartoonishly sad-looking soot next to the fireplace actually cracked me up. Now the whole story is my head-canon too

Shadows House has a lot of examples of how Karasu could use his devil fruit. A series all about Soot Powers!

I'm adding it to my favorite Devil Fruit list

To add to your "Pennsylvania Stories" thing, I work at a Rural King and one of our customers brought in a pickup truck, but the back cab area was a bus.

Another reason for why Karasu uses crows could be due to the many stories or mythos about why crows are black. I have seen many different stories online, but here's one I heard when i was little.( that i probably missremember) Of the all the animals of the world, none is more beautiful than the crow. With its feathers colored in every hue of the rainbow; none dare question its title. Proud did the crow perch above the creatures of the land, seeing none as its equal. Though as time went on the forest began to change. Snow was falling long past the end of winter and the animals that inhabited the forest became fewer and fewer. The crow fearing this winter would never end and that the animals would never see its feathers again. The crow picked up a branch and flew to the sun. After lighting the branch, the crow rushed back to the forest and melted all the snow. However, the "soot" from the burning branch and stained the feathers of the crow permanently black. The other animals rejoiced now that the snow melted and returned to the forest. The animals were happy that the forest was back but they noted something was missing. The crow, ashamed of its new feathers, hid its self away. Many of the animals, after seeing nothing but white snow for what felt like decades wanted nothing more than to see the spectacle of color that was the crow's feathers. For the crow it felt like nothing had changed after the snow melted as its loneness was still far to great. Thus it decided to show its self to the rest of the animals figuring it was better to laughed at than alone. But once the animals saw the crow, again they rejoiced as if the snow had melted twice. Happy that there friend. the crow, shocked by their response, asked don't you see my feathers. the have lost there color. A deer replied, I personally never cared for your colored feathers whilst you cawed at us from atop your perch. but now that you come us on equal ground I couldn't be happier to see you. something like that, sorry if its cringe. but yeah, tldr, crow make fire stick. "Soot" make crow black.

I'm so happy we getting more info about how the revolution army operates these past chapters and how formidable as fighters they are.

Man I love the crow puns. Or perhaps I love watching you tell them lol

Neat video

A bello betty and perona fight /team up would be pretty cool to see. Even if karosou was depressed like you said , bello betty could just encourage him.

dude, i love this dude

I enjoyed the puns man, i know a lot of people clicked off at probable caws but im still here😤

Tekkin your really one of a kind 😂

I think the spreading out can be based in properieties of the element, something like 'soot gets everywhere'.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the Soot-Soot fruit was Dojo Kanojo Cho from Xiaolin Showdown; specifically the episode where he tries to establish what his power is, and after recognising he can't claim to have the power of fire (Kimiko's power), he says he has the power of soot, much to the amusement of everyone in the group. Little did they know the power that the soot holds haha!

Wasn't Moria able to shape his shadows into bats? I feel like that isn't necessarily the natural form of the shadows it's more of a moria flavor choice, I feel like it's the same for karasu

Hi Tekking! I hope you are doing well!

Tekking's puns are the best!🔥🔥

Sabo and Karasu are best buddies ngl, maybe Sabo can always call Karasu by burning something.

Thumbnail so good

There is another devil fruit that functions similar to "Soot Soot fruit. In punkhazard smiley could turn into little pieces in order to cross the lake and also in EP:597, Cesar's battle with Luffy some of those pieces could act independently and they followed Cesar's orders to cling to Luffy's body. I was hoping Karasu's fruit would explain Smiley's case, but maybe it's something else. Loved the puns!

I love the dedication to the caw-ing in the puns

Karasu definitely has those little Soot things from Spirited Away doing chores at the Revolutionary Army headquarters

Maybe there's an aspect of soot being carbon? so he's maybe trained to have a proficiency in making carbon-based life (eg crows) Thats complete headcannon but it could maybe explain how he's able to make living things and split his body up so well

Tekking I want you to know your my favorite channel

I'm not an english native speaker... So today I learned two new words (soot and urchins) thank you tekking ❤

Karasu is easily one of my new favorite characters in one piece.

I LOVE abilities with a tactical edge, so the Soot Soot fruit is one of my favorites

The thing you said about molding the way your fruit operates reminds me of Falco from Aot

I don't know if you remember or not but can i ask you how is the tree you planted back in April 2013 and made a video in your second channel as i just finished watching that video so please tell me how the tree is doing

Been watching g for years but did you see my post on Reddit last week. I literally said a users ability is heavily influenced by what the person thinks what the fruits ability is. It’s why sabo could immediately do Ace’s techniques, why brook can do all the weird stuff with a fruit about revival, why chopper being an out cast could not become a full human, why violet can use tears as a weapon. Also why changing Luffys fruit name mattered. People just though it was a rubber fruit weakening it. If you felt that a dinosaur could shoot itself from its body then when you turn into it so can you. Long time viewer but what are your thoughts.

Bad Puns to me are like Nuclear Radiation to Godzilla, that is how i survived watching this channel for 7 years straight.

"Aww man. I thought you said it was the 'zoot suit' fruit. This was a dang trip for biscuits. Now I'll never be a hip cat."

That first joke made me cringe so much 😂😂 love your content man

I love your crow puns.

This video wasnt long enough disappointed 😔 lol

Asking since I'm early enough to be seen by someone: does anyone knows how can I know in advance if tek will stream? I've found no information around and I'd like to be around for the 1084 chapter livestream...

i chuckled for every pun damn you matt

I've been a fan for years, but i became a member because of todays crow puns

Soot is ingredient of traditional Japanese ink and even can be used for painting on its own so I'm curious if this is mechanic how Karasu creates these crows. Also, soot is flammable and can be source of dust explosion with just a few sparks. Karasu and Sabo working together are extremely deadly.

please make Corvus facts :D

I live in Texas tekking and the smokestack Toyota is definitely a quick reminder of where I reside and the obstacles in the way of success 😂😂

he's definitely underrated

The idea of having logia devil fruits crafting different objects from is cool. Like I have different ideas: Smoker having smoked clones Akinu with magma golems

So early I comment earlier than the video ends

Loved the crowbar joke 😹

None done the video yet so my bad if he touches on this, but is there any chance his fruit is a special paramecia like Katakuri’s?

This is what we come for!!!

18:39 is the funniest crow pun ive ever heard how is no one talking abt it 😭

These past chapters makes me wonder even more about not just what every character will do in the final arc but what kind of Special or Big Moment they will have...

I was about to see the birth of my first child but realised a new tekking video was out.

Sabo is really the best person for Karasu to be paired up with since sabo can create soot through burning things with his fire

Them crow puns are approaching dad joke levels

As a pun master myself I loved this video be-CAWS of the puns!

What i think is, that Karasu has transceiver "inside" the soot crows, that he can communicate through with his mask. That's why the speechbubbles are not coming from the beak but from the body.

Tekking, Smoker did something similar on PH against Virgo. Karasu splitting into multiple crows makes sense to me

I like to think that if Karasu summons too many crows, he could lose control over them and die, as he thins out too much the level of his own consciousness to divide among them, until there's not enough to control them individually, so that he would just lose it that way. But, if his fruit actually is about the "soot" material, then this scenario is probably not possible.

i feel called out on 12:55 haha

It's kinda poetic that a Revolutionary has the soot fruit and another has the fire fruit. Karasu's backstory might be something along the lines of surviving an extermination attempt similar to the Grey Terminal burning

Here before the hour

I really hope that at the end of the story oda draws and writes a devil fruit encyclopedia so we can see all the devil fruit designs that weren't shown in the manga. 🤞

Next let's get a saint charloss video and all the "wonderful" things he has done for the world around him. Im sure that will be fun Punch video update

The Revolutionary Army needed to prove itself but this is revolutionary new information.

This was the wrong video to listen to while I workout every crow pun I started laughing and either almost dropped weights on myself or failed the lift 😂

The puns were the best part of the video, hands down.

Thanks a lot Tekking... Now my brain has replaced "Brass Monkey!!" with "LIGHT MONKEY!!" in my head. 😅

I like to think that conventional Logia fruits ( a la Akainu, Aokiji, and Crocodile) have a more bare bones powerset because of them being primordial elements. Whereas Fruits like Caribou's Logia just happens to have a pocket dimension within it and Blackbeard's Dark Fruit being the exact opposite of what we've been shown of Logia. Maybe there are different classifications of Logia like how Zoans have Carnivorous, and Paramecia have "subclasses" within that category?

This HAS to be the best Is particle devil fruit can make communicate and see through the constructs he makes while still being able make diffferent simple shapes and potentially heat them up like is there a negative?

For a minute, I definitely thought Tekking meant he had a ghost writer when he said "I don't even write these"

I have a theory that his fruit is a special logia and the reason he can turn in crows or hear or see with his fruit is because soot is organic matter so he’s able to use aspect of the type of soot and certain characteristics of what ever type he chooses and he just uses soot made out of crow soot and since crowd can hear and see (obviously) he can also see and hear thru said animal

that thumbnail goes so hard
