Blows my mind that anyone prefers a generic God complex evil villain instead of a villain with a unique personality and decades of build-up.

It's kind of ironic, you talk about simplicity and little minds, yet you prefer Imu as the final villain.
Honestly, I see Imu as a better version of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya from
Naruto. Kaguya was handled kind of like the final boss of a
Final Fantasy game: There were virtually no allusions to her existence or buildups to her appearance throughout the story, and as a result feels like she came out of nowhere when she usurps the role of "final boss" from Madara, who was the actual main antagonist. Kaguya's pretty much Necron from
Final Fantasy IX: She has no real personality or motivations to her actions, and is essentially there so the main protagonists can have an epic "final boss battle" to end the story with.
Imu is also an antagonist set up to be a much bigger threat than the
de facto main antagonist (Blackbeard), but there's much more to Imu than there ever was to Kaguya. Imu isn't an antagonist that'll just appear during the climax of Luffy's battle with Blackbeard and take over Blackbeard's body. Imu isn't an antagonist with no buildup or allusions or personality. Imu actually has a place in a story that makes sense and feels natural. Kaguya's an
alien compared to the likes of Orochimaru and Danzo and Madara (which is ironic considering that pretty much what the Ōtsutsukis turn out to be), and thus feels out of place.
Imu feels out of place, too, but it's not in a way that feels like they don't at all belong in this manga, like Kaguya did.

Admiral tards bitching and moaning about everything of course
Anyways Blackbeard's crew can finally lose their fodder status if Imu's fruit gets stolen to power them up.
Highly doubt Imu's Devil Fruit will get stolen that easily. Especially since their power's likely something
beyond Devil Fruits.
