Spoiler One Piece Chapter Spoiler 1191 Spoilers Discussion

[Reborn]

With BB the whole dynamic flips. His struggles are what's shaping him into something larger than life. He feels more and more like an anti-Imu. Imu is stagnation, 800 years glued to a throne, afraid of being challenged. BB is all momentum. Always growing, always "absorbing," always pushing forward. Imu clings. BB hunts.

Couldn't have said it better.

Oda is setting Luffy vs IMU vs BB thematically.

Like OG Admirals had different notions of justice, Luffy, IMU and BB have different ideas of freedom.

Luffy - seeks liberation of himself and for others. It's like live and let live

Blackbeard believes in freedom like Luffy but his freedom is uncontrolled chaos like Might is right.

IMU's idea of freedom is limited. It goes through order and total control.


While IMU is tyranny, BB is anarchy. Two extremes.

I believe this is what World went through - from Ancient Kingdom rule under Davy to WG.

Luffy's freedom sits in between the two extremes.



Another thing is, IMU cares about Joyboy and Davy.

Oda through flashback gave us Xebec and Roger era around the same time.

And, now Luffy and Teach are growing in parallel to each other.


BB vs Luffy vs IMU is guaranteed.

Gabans quote here is interesting though about no one needing to know what he is but he’s a god

Have you read or watched FMAB? Because the similarities with Father are becoming really hard to miss. Self-proclaimed god, hidden ruler, obsessed with maintaining power, terrified of losing it. And if Oda takes it where FMA took it, Imu's "godhood" is built on a foundation that's about to collapse.

Imu blocked Thorheim, Ragna five arrows then owned Loki with Stigma

 

[Krusher1357]

Original theory.

Thanks buddy

 

[Fujishiro]

Thanks buddy

Which is corny btw.

Just say he's the ruler of world government instead of affirming how he view himself.

Gaban lost it.

I have been making comparisons between Imu and the dwarf in the flask since the Harley.

 

[Krusher1357]

But nah, is bb stealing the fruit the predominant theory now that imu is looking a bit lame? genuinely curious BC I'm not sifting through these threads just to gauge how we feelin' abt it

 

[Fujishiro]

Oh yeah with the actual dialogue here it doesnt imply at all that Gaban = Rocks lol.

 

[DonWick]

Hajrudin is the MVP this chapter. Even if his punch couldn’t damage Imu his power is crazy

BB stealing it has been a theory for years now.

 

[Etemenanki]

It's funny to think that all this Imu's stuff in Elbaf is just a showcase for when Teach will kill him and steal his DF, after Nika and Nidhogg will send him back in Maryjoyce.
Imu is basically a teaser for the final battle at LaughTale.

 

[PuckTheGreat]

Folks are way too reactionary
We just gonna forget Imu dog walking everbody and their mama this arc in a weaker form just coz Hajurdin got a bit of time in the sun?
Imu about to clap Loki and Luffy cheecks in a 2 v 1 expeditiously so will Imu become top 1 again after that or we gonna downplay a combination of Luffy and Loki instead?

Also not sure why mans are talking like power scaling has always been rigid in one piece. We quite literally had Brook block a CoC clad attack from Gunko-Imu this arc lol but yet mans crying that Hajrudin a giant who's raw strength has been highlighted as exceptional prior in the series sent Imu flying with his guard down. If it wasn't already obvious already Oda prioritizes the story he wants to tell first and foremost over rigid powerscaling rules. He wanted to give Hajrudin a moment to shine to get a bit of revenge for Harald as well as develop his relationship with Loki and that's what we got. We will get back to ass cheeks getting clapped again next chapter

 

[Krusher1357]

Everything's on the table for this arc and whatever comes next, especially if Imu's trip to Elbaph costs him dearly. I'm just not sure whether BB would steal the fruit outright or absorb and store the power in the Yami void. But regardless, all this Imu exposure is not a good look for him being the endgame villain. The more we see him struggle the less final boss he feels.

Straight up, I'm wildly disappointed in his showing ATM.

If he stored he power and doesn't use it himself, do you think he would want to give that ability to anyone else or just gatekeep it to stop it going into circulation?

 

[Jeanstealer]

Hopefully peeps don't start calling our "favourite" leaker WorstBibi again because of mishaps like these.

Well that's true, I guess it's becoming more popular now that imu is actually appearing. Ive seen mentions of it on Reddit and stuff but it's definitely gained a hell of a lot more traction the last few months

 

[Awakening_coming]

Reminder Hajrudin already got stamp of approval from the goat

The man broke every single bone in his body

 

[Unleashed Truth]

I have been making comparisons between Imu and the dwarf in the flask since the Harley.

Coming from you I'm not surprised at all. Always sharp and culturally aware. It's a pretty in-your-face parallel this time around but hey, take the compliment regardless.

 

[Kurozumi Wiwi]

Too late for Lebec. 2 hp old Gabum equal

Hopefully peeps don't start calling our "favourite" leaker WorstBibi again because of mishaps like these.

tbh it was pew who first posted it in his summary

 

[Shyneseru]

How ? Lol
This is just ridiculous. He himself and Gaban acknowledge he's at deaths door in the beginning of the chap and 2 minutes later he's fully healed ?
Even Oda can't be this ridiculous.

I thought he'll maybe throw this one attack and that's about it.

"Fully healed"

literally pissing blood.
