The Grand Line Review examines the greatest okama in the world, Emporio Ivankov!

I find it funny that Dragon and Kuma looked all mysterious with their cloaks and Ivankov's face isn't hidden at all. XD

[taysensei]

Running an illegal drag bar in the middle of the most brutal, high-security prison on the planet is so damn alpha

[Lady_Lightning]

Imagine fighting this guy and suddenly your gender just swaps

[DavineIulinvega]

the ability to control hormones is INSANELY OP if its actually every human hormone. like, speeding up evolution/reversing it OP

[Saphire]

I randomly started watching these for some reason even though I've followed One Piece since the beginning. This series has really come to grow on me.

[Watman]

Ivankov’s reaction to Luffy saying he’s Dragon’s son is priceless.

[mentalpopcorn]

"ivankov is a proud and honest man, and sometimes woman"

[a_jerry]

You cannot tell me sanji spent 2 years on a island where he could have his own pair of breasts and not have tried it.

[VashXTrigun]

The best medical team in the One Piece world would be: Chopper, Law, Ivankov and that one Tontafa princess with the healing Devil Fruit. Maybe also Kuma to dispell the fatique and pain of others.

[dsalucas]

Ivankov's death wink is just a rankyaku with his eyelids.

[hououinkyouma]

Ivankov is the father of luffy and dragon is his mother

[savannabaxley]

Ivankov: one of the greatest (and flamboyant) drag queen in the One Piece world

[Rimuru_]

Can ivankov change brook's gender... Oh wait he has no gender to change.. Yphohohohoho

[FontLikesBeach]

Before Impel Down I saw a picture of Ivankov and thought he was gonna be small, but it turns out he is big

[seanhoward]

I can't handle the upload schedule! under 5k and near daily uploads! only 9 months! consistent high level quality! NO TOASTER AUDIO! this is it he has to have eaten the coffee coffee fruit, he no longer sleeps.

[nicobambino]

One Piece taught me to appreciate trans-people before I even knew what transgender was

[igier]

Fans: looking for Luffys mother
Oda: Introduces Ivankov, can switch gender
Fans: Am I a joke to you

Hee-haw! When I watched the Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time in college, I immediately thought of this guy. That wasn't unintentional it turned out, as Oda confirmed Iva-sama was based off of Tim Curry's iconic Dr. Frank N. Furtur. Part scary, part weird, and all fabulously outrageous, it's hard not to love Ivankov. That said, I like Inazuma a bit more just because they are a bit more dialed back in terms of personality... not to mention I've always had a thing for second-in-commands.

[AnaxErikever]

Post-Dress Rosa arc, and in between Whole Cake Island and (the start of) Reverie, it is confirmed that the Revolutionary Army's head quarters is now on MomoIro Island. Ivankov opened up the Kamabakka Queendom for his fellow revolutionaries after Baltigo was taken down by Jesus Burgess and the other Black Beard pirates, if not the Navy. (I prefer "queendom" since he and many of his followers are okamas/drag queens.)
P.S. Morley, one of the RA's four major generals, has been confirmed to have made the place known as Level 5.5./New Kama Land in Impel Down. He also has okama mannerisms, which makes me (and many others) question why Ivankov hasn't made the connection yet, or at least asked Morley about it.

Ivankov is easily one of my favorite characters in one piece.
