[lofty fern]

Though, Viz thankfully thought to put "the first 20" in parenthesis. I don't know how many reactions I saw merge that line with the ability line

[glass plume]

"OMG Imu has one of the first 20 devil fruits..!"

[torn stirrup]

lmaoo

[dense haven]

op fans cant read thats not tcb fault

[graceful grove]

Imu going to pull out rest of the 20 from hell

[iron oriole]

W Viz for using a readable C for "Creator" instead of what looked like a (

[glass plume]

Honestly what do y'all think Imu will do next chapter?

I feel like anything is possible.

[graceful grove]

Kill jarul to set the tone

[iron oriole]

I'm 50/50 on deleting Jarul or bee lining for Loki & Luffy

[graceful grove]

Then go for the 2 giants captain

[dense haven]

kill usopp to set the tone

[graceful grove]

This time no fake outs

[lofty fern]

This word choice actually makes it sound like it was an "all according to plan" moment

[dense haven]

imu be like yo usopp I heard you talkin shit

Lilith is also on the chopping board

What if they just snap their fingers and we hear a rumbling, then an earthquake shatters Elbaph in the middle with just the adam tree holding it together.

[stone terrace]

Thats just righting a wrong

[dense haven]

and then giants fall dead

[wet condor]

Having them kill each other went hard

[dense haven]

[glass plume]

Then Imu points their glaive and a serpent is launched out of it, starting to gnaw at the tree

Yeah i was getting to that.

【Lost in Translation by a Japanese Native Speaker】

Imu’s Devil Fruit is written simply as
“アクマの実 Akuma no Mi”
Unlike other unique Devil Fruits that follow the pattern of repeating two syllables like aku-aku or devi-devi.

There’s a theory that Devil Fruits were born from "children’s imagination", which could explain why many of them have simple, playful names that even kids can easily relate to.

If that’s the case, then Imu’s “Akuma no Mi” might carry a different implication—it could represent something not born from imagination, but something created deliberately by adults as a tool for control and oppression.

[lofty fern]

The way they say this here, it almost sounds like perhaps Imu is vulnerable outside of Pangea. Like everyone else can regen, but he can't? I wonder.... It would be great to see his might despite that

[potent pier]

Like it's just called "THE Devil's Fruit"

[glass plume]

"Thou wanted to meet Mu, thy wishes haveth beeneth granted.."

Proceeds to murder Usopp.

[errant nymph]

Wouldn’t he kill the knights too cuz they failed too ?

[potent pier]

To me I think it may be trhe first devil fruit

[torn stirrup]

figured it was something like "you are mortal"

[dense haven]

its not a devil fruit

is the literal devil

all fruits belong to him

[potent pier]

Also I think we will see a flashback with Imu eating that thing

[lofty fern]

Still don't think it's a fruit. He has the ability to give abilities I say

[glass plume]

I think that Imu is the literal reincarnation of the devil.

[errant nymph]

Ye me too tbh cuz erm its liderally a “devil”

[stone terrace]

Maybe sommers dies

[dense haven]

yk I'm not seeing enough people talking about the buildngs and trees turning into monsters

[glass plume]

Oh yeah Killingham and Sommers should die.

I liked seeing a bit more of the plot progressing in the outside world, since we've been focusing on Elbaph alone for so long in the present

[stone terrace]

Whatever imu has is the precursor to a df

[graceful grove]

Ik xd issa joke

[stone terrace]

Maybe void century folks had unique skills that they then transferred into the fruits as we know them now

[copper minnow]

i cant wait for oda to cut out of elbaf. im so interested to see whats got the admirals busy

we might finally see cross guilds first move

[glass plume]

Honestly the more i think, the more i believe that Imu is from the first world.

[glacial bear]

Imu: Mu desires Vivi

Garling: I desire Shakky!

York: I desire food!

[glass plume]

The first world could be the period where they didn't rule, only planned.
Then in the void century is when they set their plan into motion becoming Nerona Imu.

Literally the first time we saw the Drums of Liberation there has been parodies of it being Drums of Oppression for Imu, so literal years people have been calling them that.

[errant nymph]

Also tbh i feel imu’s black blob body’s his actual body

[torn stirrup]

How much the world progresses and feels alive outside of the main focus is one of Oda's best writing qualities, but oh man can it be a bit frustrating in the moment when we get teases about interesting plotlines going on outside the current island lmao

It was bad in english too

even better here, since Viz kills some of the quality

[distant vine]

I waited for VIZ this week

[maiden saffron]

yep

[distant vine]

Chapter felt overhyped ngl

[maiden saffron]

really well done

[distant vine]

But I still liked it a lot

[formal wagon]

nope

[formal wagon]

isn't it crazy oda forgot about rain

[warm sierra]

why did TCB leave out the brackets for the "one of the first 20" that would have been so much easier to read

[maiden saffron]

a little frustrating when people use Oda's art from previous volume releases and compare it to tcb and say "he forgot how to draw !"

like come on bruh

Anyway

[wraith mantle]

the convo between imu and the elders was one of the best things about this chapter

[formal wagon]

anyway these

[maiden saffron]

tcb got the "devil's fruit" thing right

really wonder what his power is like

do we know how many pages it covered?

Now, its for engagement bait

But back then

the full chapter, ends on Nami waking up on legloland

Does he have a black ship

I don’t remember it being black

oh thats been going on since forever, back when i first got into the series in 2014-2015 it was with the horribly airbrushed mangapanda scans, good times

[formal wagon]

that user

[dense pike]

"sillyslut29" 😭

what a character

[scenic dirge]

Lmfao

[maiden saffron]

back then i wasn't part of the fandom

and im barely a part of the fandom these days too

[hollow dove]

Not that we know of; but would anyone that’s fire scar outwardly be known as having a black ship? I would say not, as they’re purposefully trying to be elusive

[maiden saffron]

only heavily interacted between 2021 - 2023

ts a peaceful life

[hollow dove]

It could easily be explained by simply having 2 ships, and whichever one not in use being stationed at a sky island at all times

[dense rapids]

But wasn’t urouge on Birka 6 years ago (if that’s where he’s from)

[brittle basin]

so Viz is suggesting there's not 20 original df right?

[dense rapids]

The Poneglyph disappeared 20+

[dark nymph]

Next server popularity poll when

[digital spear]

I dont even remember anything else from him but he was special for sure and I cant believe that was 3 years ago already

[urban lodge]

It was never about fruits

It was about the 20 monarchs

[hollow dove]

It’s not confirmed he’s from Birka, we also don’t know how long he’s actually been on the Blue Sea

[dense pike]

oh how the time flies

[distant vine]

I didnt expect Imu to look so cool. I see now what he managed to accomplish hijacking Oda's desk

[brittle basin]

TCB i think confused me and made me think it was both monarchs and fruits. Viz's parenthesis helps

[digital spear]

"Power: The devils fruit" I wonder what that means

[dense pike]

Penny with the literacy clutch

[hollow dove]

Urouge is coincidentally the one Supernova old enough to have done that. And also the same one that disappeared himself from Big Mom’s treacherous territory

[distant vine]

These two panels made me chuckle

[hollow dove]

It’s not like he had to become a pirate at that point exactly, bro could have transported the road poneglyph even a decade or two ago for all we know

The Strongest Thing in the World

yeah if they'd gotten this wrong it'd have been HOOORRIBLE

[distant vine]

Thats great dont get me wrong but if I was a spoiler reader it wouldnt be devestating for me to learn that in a bullet point I feel

[ashen perch]

they removed the paranthesis on (one of the first 20), which caused slight confusion because people thought his ability was one of the first 20 devil fruit abilities lol

[runic dock]

Big egos at tcb wanted it to be fruit of the devil

[alpine trench]

the other big spread of the chapter

[runic dock]

Cooler heads prevailed

[maiden saffron]

if i was a spoiler reader i would look at myself in the mirror and laugh at myself nonstop

[digital spear]

Really that was a discussion?

[ashen perch]

interesting that they can see the black lightning

tcb needs to stop taking creative liberties

It never pays off

some people were confused yea, not necessarily a big deal but it was there

[brittle basin]

Imu just a hot topic bitch

[digital spear]

I mean I think it was just something they forgot

[glass plume]

The scale of Imu's arrival is insane, like that's island sized in of itself.

[runic dock]

The black pillars aren’t even haki they’re part of the teleporting stuff

[digital spear]

Or didnt think it was that important

[spice cairn]

Its fitting for a hellspawn

[ashen perch]

true true

[spice cairn]

I love it.

[runic dock]

Doubtful , thy love their creative liberties

Big egos

[spice cairn]

The fact that its influence is creating demonic life out of the trees and houses was a nice touch

[golden valley]

I disagree actually

I think thts haki

[glass plume]

Such a nice contrast to Nika.

[brittle basin]

Demon Haki

[spice cairn]

The drum beats is neat too

Drums of Opression....

[digital spear]

It should be clear that it was

• World Government Creator
• One of the first 20
• Ability: devils fruit

[spice cairn]

[golden valley]

The black lightning from the portals have been implied as Haki

[cosmic hamlet]

@sleek plume just want to mention, you lost one vote. You have 4 left. Tell me whom to vote

[glass plume]

What if Imu sang "Friends on the other side."

[spice cairn]

Nerona too.

[digital spear]

Not having paranthesis doesnt seem like a big creative or artistic change or anything

[spice cairn]

Don't forget that, even if that was obvious

[prisma idol]

The officals also went with The Devil Fruit, making me think its not a DF still

[runic dock]

It’s distinct and visible and different enough from actual haki being used , and the pillars always happen for the teleporting, I think it would make sense to mentally split them apart

[glass plume]

Hmm, as haki or as evil energy?

[glass plume]

@leaden rivet

[dark nymph]

Holy

Nah we need Greymu fr

[golden valley]

Actually, these pillars are a first no?

[wheat jacinth]

Damn sis someone do this in like an hour since the manga came out on viz?

[wheat jacinth]

Its amazing

How long ago did the design leak

[runic dock]

There was similar stuff going on in egghead when the gorosei first came I believe

[wheat jacinth]

I usually wait for the manga release on manga+

[wheat jacinth]

But they where like one for each

[runic dock]

Yes

One for each that time

[golden valley]

I think it was just one thick black lightning iirc

[runic dock]

Imu is the grand master so he gets more pillars

[digital spear]

The fuck kinda pillars are you people talking about

[runic dock]

Black smoke lightning pillars upon teleporters teleporting gorosei or imu

[glass plume]

5 pillars for each of the gorosei and then the 6th one for the devil themselves.

[brittle basin]

This is the translation difference that interests me the most. In the Viz (above), he says "It is by the great one's design..." as if to suggest the way Imu has designed how their powers work is intentional - a necessary sacrifice they had to make to retain their hold on power both within themselves and the world writ large? Perhaps I'm reading too much into this.

[wheat jacinth]

I havent seen any of the discussions esrlier but i think the picture we saw of imu vould be like a borrowed body only used when going to earth

[glass plume]

I also picked up on that, though most seem to think it's just them following Imu's orders.

[wheat jacinth]

Also there was a panel showing wings and after that he shows this arc thing similar to the awakened zoans

[brittle basin]

-"If great Imu leaves this castle"
contrasted with
-"It is by the great one's design"
sounds very intentional

[runic dock]

By the great ones design is just a fancy way of saying “whatever the great one wants”

[distant vine]

^

[brittle basin]

That's what TCB suggests for sure. Again, I may just be overthinking this.

[digital spear]

Theyre all gonna turn freaky when Imu leaves or something

[brittle basin]

I think Viz's word choice was oddly very specific and different to the point it was suggest something else entirely

[runic dock]

Wait

Hold on I’m getting what you mean

Gandhi meaning has completely changed in your panels

[spice cairn]

Both translations are pretty much the same. The former being a bit more fancy given their status and the way they talk.

[brittle basin]

Again, could just be overthinking on my part. But that is an odd way to phrase it.

I see what Marxster means though. Could just be Stephen getting too fanciful.

[spice cairn]

Peter is putting more emphasis on "Consequences" though in the 2nd given Imu's status and how its been a while.

[dense rapids]

Lily went to Amazon Lily

[spice cairn]

But I think it boils down to the same end point of the discussion

[brittle basin]

incel allegations has increased /s

[cold steppe]

I just understood it as if he leaves, the consequences are whatever is happening to him right now like coughing blood

[digital spear]

Lily went to Amazon

[dense rapids]

That means she might’ve had love sickness too

For joy boy or Imu

[digital spear]

Lily ordered something on amazon

[glass plume]

What if the Nerona dynasty was the former Amazon Lily.

[dense rapids]

[glass plume]

Maybe Imu is the reason for why males aren't allowed there.

Similair to Zelda, lol

[dense rapids]

Wait

[runic dock]

Hmmm , even tho Gandhi meaning has changed , jupiters words still seem to echo the same sentiment both times

If imu leaves this castle, whatever happens to him is what he wants to happen (maybe his weakness) , Jupiter suggests Imu is okay with dealing with the weakness

[wheat jacinth]

Probably the same desease as whitebeard and roger

[digital spear]

Imagine being so horrible that your place doesnt accept your whole gender for hundreds of years

[restive sierra]

so imu did someting to these women or what

[brittle basin]

yeah i think that's a valid interpretation

[glass plume]

https://klipy.com/gifs/ganondorf-twilight-princess

[digital spear]

LOL

[brittle basin]

incel allegations never ceasing smh

[glass plume]

No, but them being born there as the literal devil might suggest that they wouldn't allow males anymore as it could've been seen as a curse of sort.

[torn stirrup]

I do like the detail of Imu's shadow body disappearing having created a hollow in the ice

[restive sierra]

imu sama did nothing wrong

[grand flower]

@ashen perch @hazy turret can Yall hurry up and fix manga plus so it starts in horizontal reading instead of vertical

DAMN

[glass plume]

"Long ago, a devil was born among the women... This was the beginning of the current king of the world. Saint Nerona Imu..! DON"

[dense rapids]

Salome also has a biblical name

[brittle basin]

i love the vertical reading of the tcb website, much easier for me

[restive sierra]

imagine being imu's mama

[digital spear]

They fixed it but I fucked it up again

[glass plume]

I think it's hilarious that we see cracks in the ice.

[ashen perch]

I am pretty sure once you select horizontal once, it remembers that until your clear your cookies

[glass plume]

Imagine if Imu didn't have a mother, but was born from hell itself.

[wraith mantle]

has imu been fighting destiny and fate for 800 years?

[ashen perch]

idk, never had the issue personally

[wraith mantle]

i wonder if imu thinks he is destined to lose

[grand flower]

@ashen perch @hot cairn yup the crisis is over

[glass plume]

Yes, probably even longer.

[grand flower]

Time relation

Dilation

[ashen perch]

shuron have you seen the timeloop theory

[glass plume]

I think that Imu or whatever the devil is, stems from the first world.

[ashen perch]

I feel like youd be into it

[restive sierra]

so that's why lily rejected him

[dense rapids]

I think the devil is from the first world

Imu is from the VC like Joy boy and Lily

[grand flower]

Not enough people picked up on this btw

[glass plume]

What if Imu is the reincarnation of the devil from the first world.

Hence, "devil's fruit"

[grand flower]

Nope. Refuse to read anybody else’s ideas or interpretations

[ashen perch]

So basically, we're stuck in a timeloop in Elbaf. The idea is that we're seeing an iteration of the loop playing out once again, and the beginning of the loop is Nami being told to wake up by a mysterious voice (confirmed to be Usopp by the anime). This is just yet another attempt at trying to finally resolve the situation and escape the loop basically.

In writing, starting a story by waking up in a very specific way is one of the few guarantees of a specific storyline:

Time loop

I think things are building to an unassailable point, where the only way to win... is to return to the start amd try again.

virgin birth from his father 🫃

[glass plume]

Imu was born from haki itself.

[grand flower]

I think usopp projected his voice but that’s interesting

[hot cairn]

I still dont think marijois was under attack

[signal fiber]

People were interpreting it as Sengoku or Akainu but I think it's clearly talking about old Marineford

They thought they were the chosen one, but they were... THE OPPOSITE.!

CD revolt, Revs or BB are the only options to me. And prob not BB he's trying to become a king

wait the FORMER? I thought the current

Wtf

Ehat if imu had split personalities

What if Imu snaps their fingers and we just see Killingham and Sommers melt into nothing.

Former is old Marinefors currently run by Onigumo

[ashen perch]

how would he have projected his voice? the weird thing about the whole scene is that Usopp too is just waking up in his own predicament in another area of the legoland, its not like he should know that Nami is sleeping and needs to be woken up

[brittle basin]

........................................ Imu is nuclear

[signal fiber]

Akainu Kuma

[brittle basin]

that one too

but i'm thinking of a different moment

this was a number of chapters ago

probably before elbaf

[grand flower]

Same way Luffy used Hao in the Marineford saga and Zoro used Ryuo in Alabasta

[glass plume]

Kinda want Imu to do this against Sommers and Killingham just because how incompetent they've been.

[brittle basin]

wasn't Fuji joking about dropping a meteor or something?

[grand flower]

When he woke up inside the cat’s mouth, his fear caused a Haki bloom

[signal fiber]

Sommers is too likable to die

[grand flower]

Usopp’s observation bloomed and he projected his voice to Nami

[ashen perch]

well even then

how did he know that Nami was sleeping

and near him?

[brittle basin]

What if Law switched Sommer's heart with Zoro?

[grand flower]

Yup

[signal fiber]

Neither understand the power of love it would be the same

[grand flower]

Cause he was sleeping

They could have passed out together

[brittle basin]

How does Goda do it

The apple the devil gave Eve was nuclear...

Usopp did what Luffy did here

Film Red gave us the teaser for it

Usopp communicated with Yasopp with Observation between the dimensions

[wheat jacinth]

Man this is the voice of all things

It not like anyone can just do it

[grand flower]

Law’s crew heard it

Film Red also included the power to communicate with Observation

[somber flare]

Man why didn’t we get the new opening

[wheat jacinth]

Fr?

[grand flower]

Using Usopp to do it

[wheat jacinth]

I didnt remember that

[cold steppe]

Because it's season 2 episode 1

[wheat jacinth]

Havent seen film red either

oh i thought u meant the chapter

not the biggest fan of flim red tbh lol

Gpt carried away discussing this telepathy thing

film red so mid theyre taking their time with the next movie

[wheat jacinth]

.

[wraith mantle]

he is delivering

[stone terrace]

❤️

[brittle basin]

speaking of overthinking things, you can push things and argue that Imu sitting on top of the spire like this is intentional since he has some Egyptian vibes and the shape beneath him is a pyramid.

[ashen perch]

he said it was the year of encounters

[stone terrace]

aliens did build the pyramids afterall

[wraith mantle]

joyb oy vs imu

[ashen perch]

many characters who had never met before will meet, more characters will come face to face, etc etc

[brittle basin]

Alien, Moon, and Demon Piece are real

[wraith mantle]

who else could he mean by the other encounter hint

[glass plume]

Part of me wants to believe that Oda recently binged Gravity Falls.

[brittle basin]

omfg.......

[wheat jacinth]

I think its just amazing composition

[brittle basin]

stone cold with those words in his voice

[wheat jacinth]

And also like the castle is an important location

[cold steppe]

They were pretty proud of film red for some reason that they were marketing it for 3 years after the movie

[ashen perch]

Imu and Luffy is definitely one of those encounters now

[ashen perch]

its very clearly intentional yeah

[graceful grove]

Fr. Forest god and Imu never met. Thats why he has no clue of his powers

[ashen perch]

also could be a bit of an illuminati reference

[glass plume]

https://klipy.com/gifs/bill-cipher-finger

i am so smart.

there's literally a group called Space Pirates lol

[sleek plume]

Nah, they aren’t a manga reader i don’t think, they shouldn’t know that

[deep chasm]

official translations make this pretty interesting

theyre probbaly referring to his weakness in the surface world, but who knows how far it goes

[runic dock]

In the lower world , you are too sexy!!!

Don’t do it!!!

[deep chasm]

and peter saying its by imu's own design. Saying maybe his weakness in the lower world was by imu's choice

[tough dust]

laffitte new voice is great
i don't know how i feel about benny beck tho lol

[runic dock]

By their own design is also a way to say their choice

Old way of speaking

[royal orchid]

THIS FUCKING GLAZER GARLING ON THE RIGHT HE DOESN'T KNOW SHIT ARGHHH

[deep chasm]

yes thats what I mean

[distant vine]

I really hope he outright defeats everyone

[royal orchid]

he's just saying "no one can stop mu" man shut UP

[deep chasm]

he knows everything actually

[grand flower]

@ashen perch called it being usopp

[royal orchid]

[grand flower]

Just one more detail

[royal orchid]

he could have gotten briefed on it

[glass plume]

I'll be like Enel all over again.

[wheat jacinth]

Suse i was just looking up the space pirates thing

[distant vine]

Did I speedread? I saw memes online saying Usopp ragebaited Imu

[runic dock]

If they had 5 garlings for 800 years none of this shit would be happening rn

[stone terrace]

its jsut memes

[wheat jacinth]

I didnt read it at the time since ive been reading the manga since egghead

[distant vine]

Not cringe like that pls. In the good way

[glass plume]

https://klipy.com/gifs/one-piece-eneru

[runic dock]

He did when imu was still in gunko

[wheat jacinth]

Pretty cool

[stone terrace]

usopp had no actual bearing on imus decisions

[glass plume]

This but with the adam tree.

[dense haven]

usoppfans are just desperate as usual

[deep chasm]

officials also stay consistent with Power: Devil's fruit instead of it just being a devil fruit hes eaten

[runic dock]

He do when he was in gunko

[deep chasm]

no people are acting like usopp is why imu came for some weird reason

[pulsar path]

Wait a sec.....

[urban lodge]

It's so funny because Usopp or not Imu would have 1000% come anyway

[stone terrace]

he responded to usopp but he deadass told him why would i do that lol

[glass plume]

They're just desperate to give Usopp anything.

[runic dock]

Thank god for meek pushing devils fruit

If not for him , we would have gotten fruit of the devil

[deep chasm]

yea I guess lol

[ashen perch]

yeah I dont think this means that the weakness exists by design, just a way of saying ''its his choice to go there in spite of it''

[pulsar path]

Oda such a hack

[stone terrace]

he then went to continue to try to domi reversi

[pulsar path]

That's basicly Luffy

[runic dock]

[runic dock]

Yeah

[barren token]

Hello to all the beautiful people of also manga what did everyone here think of the chapter?

[glass plume]

It's only when Imu noticed that as suspected he couldn't domi reversi Loki and Luffy, where they chose to go there themselves.

[ashen perch]

I think Imu will acknowledge Usopp

[vale heath]

One Piece

[ashen perch]

his words definitely hit somewhere

[stone terrace]

after everyone is defeated h'elll be like "you asked for this, dipshit"

😭

[runic dock]

Yes but I’m sure Usopp’s words rang true in his head as he realized DR wasn’t working

[pulsar timber]

What is going on with the polls brah

[ashen perch]

yeah something like that

[royal orchid]

sucks!!!!

[pulsar timber]

Is Sanji gonna finish first

[pulsar path]

Did you watch the new episode??!!

"Mu granted thy wishes, happy?.."

Sanji is just that popular

[vale heath]

Okay so here's my idea

[pulsar path]

Sorry I'm on my charlie right

[vale heath]

The shadow is its own separate entity

[deep chasm]

yea usopp had nothing to do with imus decision as far as we know

God is nothing if not generous

[pulsar path]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-day-gif-18564553

[glass plume]

I mean maybe, though i don't think it's much given Imunko knocked Brook and Usopp out cold directly afterwards and proceeded to engage Luffy and Loki.

[deep chasm]

Imu realized he couldnt use DR on luffy and loki and decided he needs to end this now rather than let it all continue

[royal orchid]

LMAOO wait I saw that guy

[deep chasm]

its rlly not at all until imu says something about it, people just coping for usopp

[pulsar path]

Davey Jones in bb bar 😭😭😭

[runic dock]

Naw you right , we just have to headcanon Usopp moments for now , because that’s what Usopp would do

[glass plume]

I just mean that while they struck down Usopp they made sure it hurt a bit extra, lol.

[royal orchid]

toei level foreshadowing

[stone terrace]

isnt that just kikipatsu

😭

[pulsar path]

The animation is great they had some fun but I caught a cheeky cameo!

[glass plume]

I do wonder what Imu's weapon will be called.

[runic dock]

Usopp’s moment when it happens never has to be guessed , you know what it’ll be without question

[stone tulip]

I was betting on either Zeus or Usopp but it makes sense to be Usopp, although did he unconsciously uses his observation Haki here ? Cause he wasn’t awaken until after Nami apparently.

[glass plume]

Definitely a supreme grade sword.

[runic dock]

By whomst

[pulsar path]

No one believes me lol

[urban lodge]

Usopp doesn't need a moment, he needs an arc

[stone terrace]

its the guy bb was seen with in chapter 957

[runic dock]

Probably a magic weapon he pulled from his book like he pulled out the shotgun

[stone terrace]

not davy jones

[runic dock]

Hence the black fire

At the butt if it

[stone terrace]

though the resemblance is there

[glass plume]

"Anguis" could make for a great name for Imu's weapon.

[golden valley]

Please make Imu hella OP oda

[royal orchid]

laugh tale will be usopp's arc

[pulsar path]

They drew a Davey Jones like the one oda drew 😭🤣 lil plumper tho

Idk no one cares 😔 lmao

[runic dock]

Oh lmao

[stone tulip]

Every Usopp L would take end up being a W later on, Dressrosa had Usopp take so many Ls before he got his moment to shine

[glass plume]

Hopefully he pulls out more shit, like imagine if he just pulls out a giant minigun and starts blasting.

[pulsar path]

Yo this anime episode made me feel like usopp or the straw hats are going to leave elbaf bad

[royal orchid]

luffy's gonna have to pull out the anti imu gun

[runic dock]

Exactly , his moment will be undeniable and make up for everything else lol

[ashen perch]

I mean he did have him tank attacks from the 6 strongest ever already

[stone tulip]

He doesn’t need the Sanji treatment cause we already knew everything about Usopp, the only way his backstory would be addressed again is if he met his father

[ashen perch]

but its time for the offensive

[golden valley]

Fuck guns, i want imu to pull out mythical beasts like demons outta that book

[glass plume]

Imu will counter with a anti-Nika gun.

"Mu has reserved this technique for eons, only for thy arrival.. FILTH.!"

[urban lodge]

A character arc, not a WCI

[golden valley]

Yeah, offense hax

Need him to pull outa minigun, it’s certainly possible , baby 5 has a random weapon fruit and he has already pulled out a shotgun , if he DOESNT pull out a minigun it’s frankly inconsistent

[ashen perch]

I think Imu's gonna no sell Gear 5, completely.

He won't be affected by any of it

[golden valley]

Hmmm

[stone terrace]

he's seen and beaten it once before

[alpine trench]

the new episode is so good

[royal orchid]

imu already fought joyboy and won
he knows what to do

[ashen perch]

yeah

Imu is using a blade so yeah wrap it up Mihawk slams

N it’s not even black blade

[golden valley]

Wait its out? What part of Elbaf did it end on

[sullen raptor]

Imu looks incredible tho

[knotty root]

Imo sounds like something out of franky's book

[runic dock]

Imu next chapter

[stone tulip]

Exactly although calling out on Imu’s bullshit is right direction

[ashen perch]

its really gonna be the reverse Enel, Luffy's the one who will be SHOCKED by how ineffective his attacks are

[pulsar path]

You really wanna know ? || Lego land nami waking up ||

[golden valley]

I see

[runic dock]

Luffy got way too comfortable thinking he was hurting kizaru when kizaru was ACTING this whole time

[ashen perch]

outside of that, I imagine we're getting that anti-toon force that we've gotten some hints on. He will pull out random objects like bats, hammers and guns lol

[runic dock]

Who does luffy think he is

[stone tulip]

Imu is polearm user not a swordsman so not that counts, after all Mihawk isn’t called “World strongest blade user”

[pulsar path]

Yeah but it's fun

[golden valley]

Do we have a VA for the one who says “Wake up Nami”?

[brittle basin]

technically, he doesn't know

[glass plume]

I can't wait for Mu to just lash at them for how inefficient they are on using their powers compared to the original users of them.

[royal orchid]

watch party was about 1h30mins ago

[ashen perch]

Somehow, its Usopp

[alpine trench]

adapts the entirety of 1126, ends with nami waking up in legoland

[stone tulip]

God this is peak

[pulsar path]

But wait Luffy will do something that be unheard of ny Imu

[runic dock]

Exactly , luffy has a false sense of confidence now thanks to egghead , im not even joking , this is legit

[golden valley]

Ohhh

[sullen raptor]

Wb is also a polearm users n it’s a part of 12 supreme grade blades

[golden valley]

Interesting

Very interesting

[alpine trench]

the anime is now committed to 1 ch per episode

[royal orchid]

I can smell people writing on #manga-theories as we speak

[glass plume]

Maybe, though I think that Imu won't be easily tricked by it.

[ashen perch]

yeah I am not sure how its supposed to work, Usopp woke up in that moment while he was getting eaten by Iscat in a different area of legoland

but somehow, he's aware that Nami's asleep and nearby and calling out to her to wake up immediately lol

[royal orchid]

trade offer:
you get: 1 chapter per episode
we get: half the year off

[leaden rivet]

It’s beautiful

[stone tulip]

Yeah but again not all grade blades are swords, Mihawk is only a swordsman

[ashen perch]

I guess maybe its observation haki...

[pulsar path]

I mean I just mean Luffy will be so thing more than the users before but maybe not

[glass plume]

💯

[leaden rivet]

Its profile picture worthy

[pulsar timber]

I think imu is gonna powerup/fix Killingham sommers and maybe gunko so that the Strawhats have people to fight

[stone tulip]

Yeah like did he use his observation Haki unconsciously?

[pulsar path]

I still wonder if gear 4 are exclusive to Luffy

[leaden rivet]

Grey Imu is just so peak

[stone tulip]

I can see

[ashen perch]

possibly yeah

[glass plume]

Depends on if Luffy is exactly like the others when it comes to how he uses his power I guess.

[runic dock]

Personally I’m hoping the steel heart is a death fake out , and Sommers was acting

[royal orchid]

gray skin imu theory?

[stone tulip]

But what cause Usopp to unconsciously do that ?

[deep chasm]

wym

[golden valley]

The heart stuff still makes no sense to me

We’ll see

[royal orchid]

sommers seemed awfully scared by the idea

[runic dock]

It’s gonna be peak if it’s a fake out

It’s for aesthetic purposes

Not a weakness

[leaden rivet]

No theories I’m just in denial because I know he’ll be red

[glass plume]

I hope there's a magazine soon which leaks Imu's color scheme.

[royal orchid]

"THAT HEART COSTED A YEAR OF SLAVE WORK YOU ASSHOLE! IT EVEN PLAYED MUSIC!"

[runic dock]

Exactly this

It would be so good

[royal orchid]

[runic dock]

It doesn’t do anything to Sommers to destroy it at all

[leaden rivet]

First purple Loki, then Blue Gunko, I cannot take red Imu Oda please

[deep chasm]

purple loki kinda cool

[runic dock]

Red imu is way fucking better than fake lunarian

[leaden rivet]

No…

[deep chasm]

I mean purple hair loki

[deep chasm]

not for the dragon

[glass plume]

I think all of them look great, but i can see why people would dislike them.

[deep chasm]

purple hair loki is perfect, just dont make the dragon purple

[glass plume]

Red or grey is definitely the go-to for Imu though.. And maybe dark purple...

[digital spear]

Just make the stomach part purple

[runic dock]

Please let imu be red so we could have something different for once im tired of everyone thinking everything is lunarian

[digital spear]

or the lasers

[glass plume]

Well he definitely isn't a lunarian, lol.

[deep chasm]

I want all black

[leaden rivet]

Red is so generic, cheesy and edgy

[runic dock]

I’m glad , it’s so fucking lame bruh

[deep chasm]

mind you we only have king and seraphim bruh

[leaden rivet]

Black or grey skin is perfect

[digital spear]

purple electric is cool and its always yellow or blue in OP

[glass plume]

People really fell on the lure of the leakers on that one.

Every fucking leaker was like "Imu is lunarian."

[runic dock]

I’m talking about people jumping on linarian theories every time something is tan now

It’s lame

[deep chasm]

like what character tho

[rose rune]

make him a green goblin I say

[leaden rivet]

Grey>Black>Pink>Blue>>>>>>>>red

[deep chasm]

well blue is stupid

[stone terrace]

the curse of blakc and white manga

[knotty root]

I would like imu being black, red I fear would be an eyesore after while but who knows. But grey I don't really mind it that much

[leaden rivet]

My best cope is that Imu’s skin color doesn’t match Shanks special red nor does it match Kid’s generic red.

So it’s possible he may not be red

[glass plume]

I think that red would look great, as well as it would be really on the nose with the devil theme.

But honestly i think there's no wrong way for Imu's color scheme.

[glass plume]

I just know that Oda will cook.

[leaden rivet]

Green isn’t it but purple and grey are good

[glass plume]

I hope the hair color stays white though.

That's probably my biggest worry.

[barren token]

Either black or red for imu me thinks

[stone tulip]

I still remember the leaks making huge mistake of assuming he is Lunarian when he lacks the wings

[runic dock]

Dark red skin , yellow hair , pink tattoos

muhahahahaha I'm evil -Imu

[stone tulip]

Could be

I love the infinite eyes in the background.

I hope it's a slight hint for Imu's omnipotence.

[runic dock]

Q: Why are our taxes always increasing every year!?

A: Literally cause of the devil

[stone tulip]

Exactly and he is allegedly huge too

[digital spear]

Usopp always managing to ragebait the main villain in every arc

[grand flower]

I think what we’re gonna say is tje world take down Imu while teach and Luffy are fighting over what the world will now look like

All at oncec

[digital spear]

This makes sense

[stone tulip]

Peak

[runic dock]

Imu can’t be evil enough if he doesn’t have MONEY

[leaden rivet]

Good argument Blackbeard better

[royal orchid]

the elbaf giants are gonna use their absurd toei piece colors to defeat imu

[stone tulip]

They are cooking with Imu fanarts

[glass plume]

Definitely, not seen this kind of support of a design since Loki probably.

[leaden rivet]

Though unironically I don’t mind who goes down first

[stone tulip]

I mean he already did 😭

[leaden rivet]

I just prefer that they all go down in the final battle

[deep chasm]

loki design still better

[runic dock]

It goes deeper with Bb nowadays tho , he’s trying to reclaim his birthright , the king of the world position Davy jones lost

[leaden rivet]

I don’t want Blackbeard dying an arc before story is over

[brittle basin]

I do enjoy Loki's design

[leaden rivet]

And I also need him to fight Imu at least once

[digital spear]

Same and same

[glass plume]

I like Loki's design a lot, but i also love how unusual and eldritch Imu appears.

[runic dock]

Agreed and agreed

[digital spear]

Lol

[glass plume]

Imu rings a lot of the Sun Wukong clocks for me.

A naughty bastard who has a lot of power.

[digital spear]

We are locked in

[hearty vigil]

I think there is missing context there we have yet to know about

[jade rain]

Yea but as an introduction imu's was better

[runic dock]

He’s the devil boss from black myth wukong mixed with wukong lol

[autumn island]

Loki’s hybrid form could be coming next chapter

[glass plume]

Exactly like that!

[runic dock]

Yeah for sure , that’s what I’m picking up for now tho

[grand flower]

I can’t wait to see Imu and Dragon interact

[brittle basin]

Imu's introduction was very bombastic and flamboyant in a good way.

[deep chasm]

I mean I dont even agree. If imus was better its cuz we had more hype for imu beforehand

[royal orchid]

an entire piece of the god valley arc being how Blackbeard's entire clan was tortured and killed because of the world government and BB never encounters Imu?

[brittle basin]

But that intial front and center intro of Loki was perfect in its own way

[deep chasm]

in terms of first look at designs, Lokis first look>imus first look imo. Not accounting for prior hype of wanting to see them

[leaden rivet]

Yeah some people think there’s a supposed hachinosu arc where Blackbeard loses

[dense haven]

elbaf will fail th

[leaden rivet]

Which isn’t so bad I suppose because you really want to avoid a clusterfuck final battle

[deep chasm]

Id be fine with him losing and showing up without his crew later

[urban lodge]

He will lose before the final arc, but he's going to magically survive like the cockroach he is

[brittle basin]

Design wise I agree with you. Even entrance wise I can see the argument, I think what wins me over with Imu's entrance is less even the magic circle and moreso the Big Mom-esque ensouled houses and trees singing an evil Disney villain song.

[deep chasm]

Yea id fuck with this

[leaden rivet]

Bare minimum should at least get further than rocks

[craggy vapor]

Were all of the citizens of God Valley Rocks clan members?

[leaden rivet]

Or he’ll look a bit silly

[deep chasm]

true

[dense haven]

its so funny people still think this is a pirate manga

[glass plume]

It's already pretty confirmed that Imu will be defeated by Luffy and Blackbeard teaming up, lol.

[grand flower]

Not all

[runic dock]

Yeah

[deep chasm]

have his crew all get beat in hachinosu but he comes back for final war

[glass plume]

The current Joyboy and Davy Jones against Imu.

[grand flower]

That’s really lame

[leaden rivet]

So where does he kill shanks in all this

[digital spear]

Holy ass

[jade rain]

The set up and the way to the reveal still clears, my favourite is kaido but I must wait for anime

[deep chasm]

sure I disagree

[knotty root]

Final war perhaps

[craggy vapor]

It’s HIM manga

[deep chasm]

in the final war

[runic dock]

Then they look at the corpse of imu , then at each other , then back at the corpse …then…..

[grand flower]

That would just deflate Teach from his current status as a threat

[deep chasm]

I dont think it would

[grand flower]

How would you avoid that

[urban lodge]

Then they kiss

[runic dock]

The end

[royal orchid]

I don't think so, like Magnolia (Shanks/Sham mom) but it's likely that the entire davy clan was on GV

[deep chasm]

by not making him look bad, or you give him some form of powerup after this hachinosu arc

[leaden rivet]

Ugh I just hate a Blackbeard and Luffy team up so much

[blazing mantle]

It won’t happen

[glass plume]

I do too, but it feels inevitable.

[leaden rivet]

At worst make it a 1v1v1 that naturally ends up a 2v1

[blazing mantle]

They won’t team up

Chill out

[royal orchid]

BB vs Luffy vs Imu

[craggy vapor]

Magnolia? Is that a town in OP?

[runic dock]

Idk if it’s ever gonna happen , as a bb ride or die , but if it did , luffy would hate it the whole time I imagine

[deep chasm]

This followed by Loki claiming hes the sun god>>>>

But I respect kaido choice

[runic dock]

Hate being there with him lol

[royal orchid]

Magnolia is the name of shanks and shamrock's mom

[deep chasm]

I would like a 1v1v1 but idk how likely that is

[digital spear]

Well yeah thats how it would happen, they wouldnt be like meeting up beforehand and planning to kill Imu together

[autumn island]

They’ll team up but it won’t be out of being buddies. BB got Ace killed. It’ll be out of necessity because of what they are up against

[golden valley]

Ugh, yeah, this introduction panel is too good ngl. Takes it over Imu for me

[craggy vapor]

ah, I got confused because it’s also a town name in Fairy Tail

[blazing mantle]

Luffy will most likely weaken imu then blackbeard will come out of nowhere to absorb his power and be the true final villain

[autumn island]

Then when Imu is defeated BB being the opportunist will take whatever power Imu has would be my guess

[blazing mantle]

I can see the future

[golden valley]

I think I like Imu’s design more though…not really sure just yet. Need a better angle

[leaden rivet]

With how god valley establishes Imu as a direct enemy of Blackbeard, and Blackbeard and Luffy are direct enemies and Imu and Luffy are direct enemies it kinda works

[blazing mantle]

Literally this

Twin

[grand flower]

That’s how I see it

[golden valley]

But Loki design is really unique

[leaden rivet]

Muk’s nightmare scenario

[grand flower]

But I still it as Blackbeard swooping in after dragon brings Imu down weak enough

[deep chasm]

People will hate to hear this but I think Imus design is a little more generic. Loki looks very cool and feels like ive never seen a design quite like that

[grand flower]

Imu is probably getting jumped

[blazing mantle]

W shonen

[runic dock]

The ultimate pirate is the ultimate opportunist, to capture the essence of piracy you gotta focus on that

[blazing mantle]

You can’t run from it

[glass plume]

I don't think that Blackbeard should take Imu's power.

[urban lodge]

It's so unbelievably ass

[glass plume]

That would just make it a re-hash

[golden valley]

i haven’t seen a design like loki, yup

[craggy vapor]

BB doesn’t deserve Imu’s power. Not as long as we don’t get a BB flashback that makes us sympathize with him

[leaden rivet]

I mean if Blackbeard and Luffy have to team up to beat Imu and then Blackbeard takes Imu’s power how would Luffy even win that fight lol

[urban lodge]

Fighting the same powers twice back to back

[grand flower]

Dawg what? He’s a villain

[brittle basin]

My guess is BB still kills Imu, but I'm not sure if they will (or even can) take their powers like with WB. There is also the Kraken theory.

[autumn island]

You also have to imagine BB currently has Davy Jones’ fruit at his disposal whilst Luffy has Joy Boy’s. Feels rather poetic

[deep chasm]

I also think it becomes a theme with the 3 worlds. There'll be the world run by davy/BB where everyone is free but its dog eat dog. Imu where there are rulers and slaves. And then Nika/Luffy's world where everyone is free and peaceful

[glass plume]

Maybe Luffy and Blackbeard beat Imu and Blackbeard tries to get the power but the devil's fruit rejects him and Blackbeard explodes, end of story.

[grand flower]

Ehhh

[royal orchid]

so many options for what could happen in and after imu's arrival jesus

[leaden rivet]

Slightly unrelated but if a world without the world government is peaceful I’m calling bullshit

[grand flower]

Blackbeard should be defeated

[runic dock]

We don’t know , but I assume by punching really hard , It would make it the ultimate final challenge tho

[leaden rivet]

The world government is lowkey a good thing

[runic dock]

They’re still gonna need marines
