With Oda breaking the pattern with the Sandworm, I am currently waiting what happens with Garling. If he inherits Saturns powers or gets his own I would guess we would be able to tell more about if Imu simply has general demonic powers and Oda just went with mostly Japanese ones since he himself is familiar with them/thinking they are cool, or if Imu himself is also part of the theme.
From what I know Japan does not really have a true "TOP" devil for Imu to emulate though. Izanagi and Izanami are the mother and father of all gods, so he could be either of those in theory I guess? Could be that Nika was the other, and Imu is the surviving other half of the creation deity pair of One Piece.
