Very interesting thing you pointed out here. I wonder if the 3 worlds in the mural relates to this too ofc? And why its in Elbaph especially? Elbaph has 3 realms here at least, when I expected it to have 6 or 9 or however Norse realms there are typically. Oda just referenced Niflheim with Loki too. Elbaph would be the most fitting battleground for the biggest wars in the series, literally and symbolically, the land of eternal wars and gigantism/giants, the biggest country/island in the world.
Also to ignore my Zoro trolling/slander aside for a moment, Zoro said he wanted to be the king of hell. Imu has hell related powers, Impel Down staff seem to be demons in designs at least, Impel Down was specifically designed on the realms of Buddhist Hell, Imu has a frozen tomb for some reason with a giant strawhat on it and most importantly and relevantl aside from Imu's powers is that Sabo said he was in "Hell" when he saw the Gorosei and Imu transforming in their chamber.
Oda likes having Zoro face the main villains of most arcs, I can't remember if he ever faced Doflamingo but he should have really. Same with Crocodile, can't remember if he did but he should have done. So I think Zoro will meet Imuko/Imu at some point and something interesting will happen, especially if Imu recognises Ryuuma in him. Or mentions Nusjuro in relation or someone else we know.

I think Oda condensed the Norse 9 worlds into just 3 to fit his own ages, as per the mural.
The first world was dark and inhospitable (Underworld). The second world was scarcely populated and rural (Heaven). The third world will see the return and ultimate triumph of Nika (Sun world).
As for Zoro, many expect him to be immune to getting DRd because of his KOH self-title. I'm not sure that's enough of a reason, but it would be cool if Asura by its very will-based nature could overwrite IMU's command. You can't really demonize someone whose will turns him into a demon in the first place.

My version of Elbaf would have been far far better than this shiii
It was such a perfect set up with egghead.
- Egghead ~ Death of Baldur
Baldur, the god of Light, A.k.a Kizaru, Defeat/Death in Egghead.
In norse, death of Baldur was Marked with Winters before Ragnarok.
Winter~ Aokiji
Black beard pirates enters elbaf, Shanks fight him. In the last ditch attempt, Aokiji ends up freezing everything, sacrificing himself.
Both the crew in the same island, But seperated by winter, harsh climate. Strawhats/Low/Kidd makes their entry as well. All for the man marked with flames.
Start of Ragnarok
Ice melts, battle royale starts
End of Ragnarok,
Akainu enters (Surtr) destroys everything, no winner but only akainu taking control of Elbaph.
There was a lot to this theory. Also all the lore drop happens in winter, when everyone was restricted in each side of the island. Given hpw big Elbaph is.

That makes a lot of sense.
Maybe this is why Oda is being secretive on how Asura works and why Zoro can use it too? Kaido thinks its CoC but what if its not? Or its just part of why he can do it? I've always felt Zoro will turn out to be part demon/oni at some point. Thats a great point on the last line especially too. Most SHs have been referred to demons/monsters at some point and Robin outright became a demon in Wano, so they all might be immune to DR too. I really hope the theory of DR only working on your victim's homeland is true too.
This cant be coincidence too /s:
