He was also directly responsible for the raid of the Bastille, and by extension the start of the French Revolution, where he used a makeshift megaphone to instigate a mob inferring that he Bastille was torturing people (the Bastille in reality barely even had prisoners inside, and did not use torture), which resulted in him being relocated, although not before the damage was done. After being freed by the Jacobins, he then, adopting the title of Citizen Sade, proceeded to join the group, acting as one of the more radical members for the group during his activities as part of the ''Section des Piques'', until he was imprisoned again due to infighting with Robespierre. Even after his imprisonment, however, he still saw influence with at least two of the more notorious elements of the French Revolution and Reign of Terror: The first involved the guillotines at Arras (see ''120 Nights of Sodom'' below), and the other involved the Republican Marriage executions at the Noyades in the Loire, which had been organized by [[Jean-Baptiste Carrier]], who had described them as ''Le flambeau de la philosophie'' (one of Sade's expressions).<ref name="Operation Parricide" />
