Oda often takes inspiration from Dragonball, could Gunko have two distinct personalities, just like the has two different eyes?
LIke Lunch, who is also blue haired.


Most now think Gunko will somehwo break free from Imu's control. Seems absurd, considering that even Harald couldn't. Harald had maxxed out stats, including Haki. If he couldn't do it, you cannot overpower the Abyssal Mark. But perhaps the eyes somehow allow it. Maybe in her alternative personality she is no longer bound. But that seems unlikely, as Imu knows the power of the eyes. He desires them.



Is it combat related? Will Luffy have to fight Imu in Gunko's body at the end? Doesn't seem right to me. The final fight ought to take place in Pangea Castle, with Imu in his own body.
So maybe the eyes give utility, like the Third Eye of Pudding. Perhaps with the eyes, Gunko could somehow find Laughtale for Imu, and he could then destroy the Rio Ponelgyph and all of the One Piece.
Though if there is in the end just one job for Gunko why make her immortal? Just because it can take so long to awaken the eyes?
Could Imu rip out her eyes Naruto style, when she finally awakens them?
I don't have an answer yet. What do you think?

Yeah, the official Viz translation, and some fan translations use the term "Bipolar Irises" for her eyes. So, that along with the heterochromia does feel like a hint that they're linked to a duality of some kind.

A split personality isn't impossible. But, that shouldn't be their main power. Because...that's not really a power? If Shuri and Gunko had different abilities in their different forms, like some sort of form change or something, then maybe that'd be a case. But, why would Imu be interested in someone who just has a split personality? Where's the gain?

It's possible this is all linked back to Cavendish, who might have a similar power. Or a "lesser" or "diluted" version of Shuri's power.

(Chapter 773)

Cavendish's other half, Hakuba, seemed to have increased speed and battle abilities. I guess you MIGHT be able to say there's a similar difference with Shuri and Gunko.

We haven't really seen that, yet. But, if that is the case, it's possible that Imu wanted Shuri to use her lineage factor as a part of their cloning experiments. Using Shuri's "Bipolar" abilities to make a army with the same heightened abilities. More fodder for the Super Soldier program.



But, the focus on the eyes makes me think these "Bipolar Irises" have something more to do with "sight" more than anything else. The Three Eyed Tribe can supposedly read the Poneglyphs with their eyes. So, chances are, these special Bipolar eyes also have something to do with "seeing" something differently than others.

(...That might sound obvious, but, hey, stay with me!)

So, two-toned eyes. That feels like it implies that you can see two different things.

Two different..."worlds" maybe?

The world of the living and the afterlife? That would be kind of fitting for something coming up during Brook's flashback, connecting things to the living and the dead in different ways.

The past and the future? The "white" and "black" eyes could even be referencing the panel borders we see in the present and the past, like how the panel border always changes to black when we go into a flashback.

Well...there IS one other notable example of two different "worlds" that One Piece has been focusing on for a while now. The Good and Bad Futures that Oda gives us a glimpse of in the SBS segments.


What if Shuri can see the Good and Bad Futures with her Bipolar Eyes? Being able to see two alternate futures would DEFINITELY be something that Imu would be interested in. And if Shuri could awaken that ability, knowledge of the future would give Imu a big edge in any upcoming battle. That's a ability worth having on your side.

And the manga has already mentioned Shuri developing her Future Sight uncommonly quickly.

(Chapter 1185)

So, I think that's the most likely explanation. The Bipolar Eyes give Shuri a unique version of Future Sight. Possibly being able to see into two different futures, the "Good" and "Bad" Futures of the SBSes.

But, I wouldn't be surprised if there's also some sort of link between Shuri/Gunko and Cavendish/Hakuba. Maybe the split personalities are a result of getting "glimpses" of the Good and Bad Futures? Who knows? But, my personal bet is that the Bipolar Eyes give Shuri a rare form of Future Sight. Whether that's connected to the Two Futures or not, that's more of a gamble, I'll admit.

So did Gunko killed his adopted father to stop an even worse future but what could he even do? :kayneshrug:

Also good theory since that is an ability Imu would definitely desire.

It will be sealed demon connected sort of things.
And most likely 20 family bloodline have it. Though they don't have any clue which offspring might end up having it.

Current candidates for it.
  • Imu
  • Gunko
  • Mihawk
  • Cavendish
  • Loki
For cavendish and Loki. Like come on, Canvendish is a royal and after looking at Esperia and God valley, it ain't farfetched to believe Cavendish is a Holyknight off spring too but HK didn't realise it.

For loki, look at how situation started to play, His mother can look into prophecies and what not. She could have done some ritual to bargain some deal with a demon but ironically it backfired. She hated the kid more than anyone else and also ended up dead due to sickness just like Candel.

So theory is, HK blood is required from 20 families, and demon summoning ritual.
Candel is weird case it can't farfetched of she is from CD bloodline too somehow. She gift harold a six legged Horse, no DF or anything. That shi is demonic no matter how you see it.

It should be related to Maki, as that is this new power system Oda seemingly created out of nowhere.

Imu has special eyes and he can use maki freely.

My guess with Bipolar eyes is that it essentially lets you use the Maki equivalent to CoO. When Shuri saw the future, it was because she was using Maki, not haki.

Shuri uses Maki in DR btw.

Also I'll still say It's connected to demons.
While figarland don't have eyesight, they are swordsman who can control curses. Cerebrus, Gryphon and whatever sword Garling holds.

I think by awakening the eyes allow her to see or interact with the spiritual realm. Maybe it can manifest the haki left behind by Joyboy, just so Joyboy can see the world Imu has built. Or maybe Imu missed Lili and wanted to talk with her.
