Imu showing feel more like a Super Yonko instead of someone truly above all top tiers.


Its impressive, very impressive just not Godlike impressive.


Couldn't put down sanji
All giant are back
Zoro is fine and not portrayed or stated to be heavily injured (we only got a page of him reflecting on imus abilities and the way zoro talk about it further confirm he was caught off guard yet by the three simultaneous pistol impact hits).
Loki vs Imu, while imu has shown his superiority, the fight is being dragged on for too long for someone who defeated Xebec and no sold six Emperors


As for overpowering zoro I think most top tier can do it too if their ability too is bizarre and Zoro is not aware of their power in a first clash.

Loki also was helpless and stabbed, pinned down by imu in less than 5 second because he didnt expect such thing from imu (flame that change into weapon and bomb).

It feel like Flashback Imu as a shadow will no diff the Imu fighting so far in Elbaf.

Hopefully he will get serious soon, because this arent it.



Like I sat above, his showing are fine just not enough.

We need real consequence and no need to hold back the goodwill guys.

Let them fight and have imu show why he is the boss.

This is what truly set villain like Madara appart, kishimoto first have everyone use anything they have against him before he crush them, even when madara just stood there you could feel that pressure.

Yeah, I’m holding off final judgement because I think Oda isn’t letting anyone go full steam yet. Loki needs to use his hybrid form, Luffy hasn’t joined in & we know Super Sommers’ Death was foreshadowed specifically to nerf Imu.

Im expecting something much more but currently he does feel like he’s higher on the Yonko tier than above it

“Higher Yonko tier”, and Imu tail-diffed Zoro’s strongest mode 😂😂😂😂. Same move would scar Kaido.

Never mind Gaban casually dropping the line that Imu has the strongest haki he’s ever felt.

Oda didn't allow Zoro to job to an Admiral or a Yonkou when he was far weaker, he pushed Fujitora back and he scarred Kaidou, but he didn't hesitate to have a much stronger Zoro job to Imu like he was an ant, and he even had Zoro use his max power off the bat which is rare for any character let alone Zoro.

Usually he would have Zoro use some no named swing (thinking of pre skip Lucci vs Zoro), but here he uses KoH 3 Dragon Style immediately.

This alone tells you Imu is different. Don't let Loki fool you into thinking otherwise, that just speaks to Loki's PL.

The problem is that Imu´s power is stupidly broken to the extent that it makes zero sense. If Imu wanted, he could have DR´d Zoro and Sanji and sent them to kill Luffy, and he´d probably be dead at this point.

Though Tbh, the problem really starts with the flashback itself. if Imu dr´d one more person on GV besides Xebec, Luffy isnt even born in the first place, and Teach is probably dead too

Just ask yourselves what’s the point of having a mere Roger-level character fight the real Imu here?

Oda already hypetooled 3 Roger-level fighters in the flashback. He neg-diffed Xebec and turned him
into a minion, and that minion almost killed Roger and Garp combined.

Oda fed amped Harald to Loki for a reason, now we have somebody who can believably fight Imu.

Sanji was immobilized on the ground for a moment after a single Imu's kick despite blocking it, let's remember that since Onigashima he has a special exoskeleton that can fix itself, to the point Sanji basically shrugged off all his bones being broken due to having abnormal regen . Wouldn't be surprised if that what happened there.
Zoro had to be treated by Chopper after an attack from an Imu not even bothering to face him after his KOH mode got blocked by his tail while Big Mom was yelling at Kaido to dodge COA Zoro's moves.
Luffy and Gaban both been hyping up Imu's haki as been unlike anything else they ever felt before, Luffy complaining about how heavy and suffocating Imu's haki (he never talked of any top tier in these terms, even when he was fodder to them), refusing to even join the fight despite already being recovered because he feels he has to overfeed himself even more to have a shot.

Imu is already a whole tier above the strongest top tier with what he showed, the real issue is that when one can't accept Loki's strenght because he got captured by Shanks (despite no context on how it happened) so it makes them look at Imu's performance with negative bias.

Reminder these are the same people that thought Imu would one tap Loki the very next chapter after he embarrassed Zoro and Sanji, that didn't happen and now all of a sudden Imu is no longer impressive.

And now we are listing Oda being Oda (characters not dying) as a reason to downplay his strength when Enel couldn't even keep Conis's civilian father down back in Skypeia, and Kaidou couldn't keep Kinemon down.

This is particularly funny:
It feel like Flashback Imu as a shadow will no diff the Imu fighting so far in Elbaf.

Flashback Imu didn't have a Loki to deal with. In fact flashback Imu explicitly made sure to stay away from Loki out of fear and respect for what was lurking in Elbaf, literally in that same flashback where he clowned all the legends 😂


Doesn't matter what year it is I guess, One Piece fans being bad at powerscaling will always hold true.
