What....is your argument here lol? This does not disregard anything I just said.
- Sabo hits the Gorosei
- The flame goes past them
- Imu eats the Flame and transforms
- The other 5 transform
- Imu is seen crawling down the steps because nobody is seen protecting Imu.
How is this so hard to get lmao. This is surprising coming from you of all people.
Again the problem comes from thereโs two panels highlighting them.
One which focuses on the gorosei where they are the central figures, another highlighting imu. The idea that oda would make only 4 gorosei appear may be one of the worst look ever and even odas editors would call him out on it, especially since itโs clear oda could draw all five in their positions just as he did In the next panel.
The second issue comes from the fact that the humanoid giant on the stairs, does not give the vibe of imu compared to the panel immediately following them with the five gorosei and imu.
The way I see the progress was:
1. Sabo attacks the gorosei, blond gorosei notices the attacks
2. Gorosei get hit and begin to transform to zoan forms
3. Sabo attacks imu who devours Sabos flame.
4. As Sabo falls to the ground in front of Cobra, blond gorosei jumps in front of Imu to protect him as the only one who was ready to act.
5. Once Sabo begins to run away Blond gorosei realizes thereโs no threat to imu and goes back to standing with the other gorosei as imu attacks Sabo.
Again, the reason I donโt think the creature on the top is imu comes from I refuse to believe oda would fuck up drawing the first gorosei like that. And since he showed the blond gorosei noticing the attack, it makes sense heโd be the one to act.
But again, I also can see why people believe itโs just imu
