The prince of Elbaf, Loki has always been a tantalizing mystery in the world ofOne Piece. Fans have been speculating several theories about his identity since the new arc began, and now with his introduction inOne Piecechapter 1130, the mystery around him has been emphasized further. From Loki’s character design to his mysterious eye cover — each and every detail provided by Eiichiro Oda has left the fans scratching their heads.
One fan theory has recently speculated about the significance of this hidden detail and why Oda might have chosen to conceal Loki’s eyes specifically. According to this theory, Loki’s unique outfit, particularly his helmet with its beetle-like horns, also may hint at an association with Egyptian mythology.
Loki’s Connection with Egyptian Mythology inOne Piece
In light of Loki’s recent appearance inOne Piecemanga, Reddit userUsed Signature_1803has shared an interesting piece of theory connecting the bridge between Loki’s unique character design with Egyptian Mythology. According to them, the design of Loki resembles Khepri; an Egyptian god symbolized by the scarab beetle and linked to themes of creation, rebirth, and the dawn.
The helmet Loki is seen wearing has distinct features: horn-like shapes that look like the mandibles of a scarab beetle, and a noticeable disc-shaped symbol tucked down between the horns. His tattoos also resemble Scarab beetles’ wings. In Egyptian lore, the scarab beetle was closely associated with Khepri, representing the sun’s journey and rebirth. Khepri was believed to push the sun across the sky, like a beetle rolling a ball, signifying the eternal cycle of life and death.

However, perhaps the most compelling mysterylies in Loki’s eyes, and it builds the connection with another Egyptian lore. Loki’s covered eyes inOne Piececould hint at an “all-seeing” ability, as the concealment of his vision may relate to a powerful sun-based ability, to be revealed in his eventual battle with Luffy. This is a reference to another Egyptian influence, Ra, the all-seeing Sun God. Ra’s role includes overseeing the world, and he is often depicted with the solar disc above his head, representing omnipotence and the light of truth.
Loki’s Potential Powers inOne Piece
IfEiichiro Odatruly intended Loki’s powers to reflect Khepri’s cycle of renewal inOne Piece, his abilities could involve restoring his strength through a “rebirth” mechanic during battle, making him nearly indestructible. Each time Loki is defeated or severely injured, he could come back stronger, perhaps adapting to the techniques that defeated him. This power would even surpass Kaido’s resilience, emphasizing the divine power symbolized by Khepri.
On the other hand, Ra’s connection to the sun could mean that Loki’s hidden eyes possess powers similar to inner sight or even the capacity to see into the future, a concept that aligns with Oda’s ongoing exploration of spiritual abilities
Moreover, the Devil Fruit system inOne Pieceoffers endless possibilities of power dynamics. Several theories suggest thatLoki’s Devil Fruitmay have been replaced or switched, implying it could be one of the unique occurrences. This theory also opens the door for Loki’s abilities to go beyond typicalOne Piecepowers, drawing on Egyptian-inspired supernatural powers rather than the typical Paramecia, Zoan, or Logia types of Devil Fruits.

InOne Piece, Eiichiro Oda has a long history of incorporating elaborate character designs and mythical motifs, making each new reveal more complex and jaw-dropping. As of now, the entire fanbase is waiting for new revelations about Loki, and if his design and abilities are indeed tied to Egyptian mythology, his clash with Luffy could surpass anything we’ve seen before.
