Lee telling me Imu isnt the total opposite of Luffy because ''Muh he was best friends with JB'' is so ridiculous to me, like there is no way in his mind they couldve grew appart and became enemies ( which did happen and they fought a war over it).
Truth is hard to tell what level of friends they were.
If you look at this arc rocks and harald were good friends and look how that work out .
In this story we see rivals like Garp and roger or WB and Roger sit down and talk so maybe it was like that for Imu and joyboy .
We need more info to tell how close they really were.
 
Imu is the antithesis to Luffy, but he was best friends with Joy Boy? Lmfao

Hell no. Imu is not the antithesis to Luffy if he was best friends with the previous Luffy. The antithesis to Luffy would never have been best friends with Luffy or Nika in a million years. The final villain of this manga doesn’t want achieve happiness through domination, if you think that’s what makes a final villain, then OP is probably your first series and you know nothing about writing lol.

Imu is the Madara of this manga. You might think he’s the final villain if you don’t know anything about anything, but Madara was simply an EOS big bad and not the final villain of Naruto.

The final villain of this manga is the Sea Devil. Stop denying it, you know it and I know it. The final villain was never best friends with Joy Boy, the final villain is the calamity that caused the war of the first world, not some second era king who was best friends with Luffy’s past life lmfao.
Yep. BB is the final villain.

Youre trying to force the same structure as naruto to this, when this series has always been about inherited wills and guess what? Imu couldve inheritted the Earth Gods aka the Devils will, same way Blackbeard inheritted Davys and Luffy inheritted Nikas.
So even in your own interpretation, Imu is completely redundant. Lmfao

You correctly point out that Blackbeard is the embodiment of the inherited Will villain, since he inherited the Will of Davy Jones (who Imu is still afraid of btw), but then you’re like “well Imu could be this too!”

Proof that you don’t understand how stories are structured. Making Oda create one inherited will villain, but then having the final villain be another inherited will villain, would be like if Oda introduced a second Akainu, Imu is completely redundant by your own interpretation since Blackbeard fits the inherited will trope far better than Imu does. We don’t even know anything about who Imu supposedly inherited his will from? Lol

Not sure why you want such a vapid ending to the story over something more nuanced.
Your ending to the story is literally “here’s an inherited will final villain. Okay, now here’s another inherited will final villain.” Lol

How is my ending to the manga vapid when your ending to the story is just the exact same theme repeated twice for no clear reason.

Under my ending to the story, Imu is a subverted final villain trope distracting from the true, hidden, primordial evil that caused the calamity of the first world. Under your ending to the story, Imu is just “here’s Blackbeard again!” Lol

Blackbeard, Luffy’s true foil and the embodiment of the inherited Will trope, and the Sea Devil, the calamity of the OP world and the primordial causal evil, each fulfill their own unique narrative roles and are not just copy/pasting of the exact same theme. They each fulfill their own separate but equally important roles.
