Imu = Black Nika + Black Blade use + Black Flame User.

Imu seems to have the EOS powers of the M3.

What if to defeat Imu we'll need have the M3 team up against him. That would make it the second time in the series they teamed up against a major opponent since the time they took down that pacifiasta back in Sabaody if I remember correctly.
 
Imu having a black blade is interesting but it’s not really computing for me narrative wise.

Till now Oda’s made black blades pretty much exclusive to those with an affiliation to the WSS title irregardless of how strong certain characters who wield swords/weapons are so it feels a bit odd that Imu has one simply bcoz he’s a strong. Feels a bit counterintuitive.

Like he did with black flames though, if he’s tryna telegraph what that future PU for Zoro is gonna be like then I somewhat get it but reasoning here is a bit weak.

Btw I can see why top 1 in the verse having a black blade is hype for Zoro fans not knocking that. Just kinda question why Imu has been given a black blade other than the fact that he’s incredibly strong. Maybe Oda’s gonna go the route of master of all arts with Imu given he’s lived for so long 🤔 but I’m not really sure how sensible that route is with Zoro’s goal in mind.
 
So much copium on just the possibility that Imu might have a black blade
Decades of slander and copium about black blade and now they wanna switch it to WSS title slander
Someone pointed out on twitter that Nemesis is actually daughter of Night (Nyx) in some mythology

Mihawk is the WSS in name and reality (I thought Oda gave Imu a polearm to not have him be under WSS title) so Mihawk > Imu
Yoru is the strongest black blade so Yoru > Nemesis

Shanks must know about Imu since he became a HK (was about too, and he wanted to warn Harald about it)
Shanks was sharing things about Luffy with Mihawk so he probably told him about Imu too (if Mihawk already isnt linked)
So much Vista upscale
