The Mutiny of Friends is a rebellious faction seen in Bunny: Gore Justice, led by Dodge, to defeat the tyrant Komodo. By the beginning of the story (year 4 of the Gehren Island experiment), the 27-person mutiny has dwindled in numbers to only 6 mutineers remaining, including Chopper and Bunny.

History[]
The mutiny was founded in early Year 2 by Dodge, Howe, Big Blue and Rocco. The other mutineers followed. The first casualties were limb losses and non-fatal Komodo-related accidents, but with no significant losses until some months later, when a mission went wrong, mostly due to Chopper's cowardice. This was the the first sign of the mutiny's luck dying.
During the rest of year 2, then year 3 and most of year 4, with the mutineers' numbers dwindling until only six remained. Then, during a raid on the Shop Mall, two were killed, one was captured and their leader was lost in the Repulsion Zone, effectively disbanding the mutiny, since Chopper and Bunny - the last two possibly active members - were pretty useless mutineers anyway.
Despite their losses, the mutiny was the largest rebellious faction, and the last to be quashed. So, it was pretty successful, or at least not a horrific failure. They were a Pyrrhic nothing, but their actions left great thorns in Komodo's side and impressions on the people of Gehren Island, with many events causing ripples through the 'community' and shaking faith in Komodo.

Colkiverse A Differences[]
The main difference is that nobody died.
The experiment was stopped, with the UNWD noticing and interfering. While it wasn't too soon for them to get their nicknames, it was soon enough for no deaths within the mutiny to have occurred, and the mutiny went back to society, slowly returning to their normal selves - save for Bunny, who vanished, as she is wont to do.
Some started shops or bands or small businesses, some wrote of their ordeals, some simply coped, but they remained friends, and never grew out of the nicknames.
