1. The Greek Origin: Nemesis is NOT "Evil"
In Greek mythology, Nemesis is the goddess of retribution and proportional justice. Crucially, she isn’t a villain; she is a force of balance. She punishes Hubris—the arrogance of mortals who think they are equal to or greater than the gods.
Imu’s Perspective: From the height of the Empty Throne, the "D." clan and the Ancient Kingdom represent the ultimate Hubris.
The Sword: If the sword is named Nemesis, it symbolizes Imu’s self-perception as the "Great Equalizer" who resets the world when humanity gets too "loud" or "arrogant."
2. Vegapunk’s Broadcast: "I do not know who is Good or Evil"
During his speech, Vegapunk made a point that frustrated many fans: He refused to take a side. He stated that because he doesn't know the full context of the Void Century, he cannot judge who was "right."
How "Nemesis" fits this:
If Imu acts as "Nemesis," then from a cosmic or historical standpoint, the World Government sees itself as the necessary force to keep the world from sinking/descending into chaos (the Great War).
The Conflict: It’s not "Good vs. Evil." It’s Freedom (Joyboy/Hubris) vs. Order (Imu/Nemesis).
Vegapunk’s Dilemma: Vegapunk realizes that both sides have their own "justice." Nemesis is a cold, mechanical form of justice—it doesn't care about individual suffering, only about maintaining the status quo of the "gods."
3. The "Great Cleaning"
Imu speaks of a "Great Cleaning" (the Erasure of Lights). This is exactly what Nemesis does: she trims down those who have grown too powerful or too happy, bringing them back to "balance."
The sword isn't just a weapon for combat; it’s a ceremonial tool of correction. By naming it Nemesis, Oda would be telling us that Imu doesn't see themselves as a tyrant, but as a divine necessity to punish the world's "arrogance" (the desire for the One Piece/Truth).
