Chapter Discussion One Piece Chapter 1178: FADING NIGHTMARE
- Thread starter Loki D. Terror
- Start date
It seems like Zoro + the giants managed to reverse all but 2-3 giants. And Zoro was about to reverse them as well until Chopper showed up. CoC?
It would seem like one of Imus butterflies might have died in exchange for him returning to Mariejois. Could it be somewhat similar to Hawkins strawman lifes?

I changed my vote from 4 to 5. Not because there was something exceptionnal or magical or emotional in this chapter, but because of the way Oda handled the ominous feeling of looming danger over the island on the last part while keeping everything light. This kind of situation is very fresh in One Piece. It almost feels like a situation of siege (different from Egghead). Oda is starting to reeinvent his arc's structure, it's interesting.
Chapters like this are often completely ignored by fans, but they are fundamentals to set the ambiance and in themselves are really well written. Seeing Luffy fight Imu is amazing of course but it's the feeling of danger that is really cool

Very interesting chapter, Imu is finally going to appears in person. That fight makes Imu looks like a mosquito, he is penetrating them with black tendrils but they are injecting something instead of sucking blood. I think he ate the Mosquito Mosquito No Mi Lmao.
Luffy Dawn Gatling = all old gens.
Is that a God's Knights on the left? My guess is Shamrock in cloak or another blue hair vessel.

I am so incredibly happy that DR Loki theory can be burned forever!!!!
The chapter felt really short, but it all seems like it's "too good to be true" for SHP. I am also excited for possibilities for Imu's absence...like MJ being taken over by either BBP or Revos. So it's a good setup chapter imo, and the agenda meltdowns are legit funny 🤣

Despite the Domi Reversi failure in this chapter, I still think Imu will manage to control Loki and pit him against Luffy. The arc generally seems to be building toward such an event.
While under Imu's control, Loki will taunt Luffy about Shanks, a topic Luffy has been noticeably sensitive about throughout the arc.
Luffy will overcome a stronger version of Loki than Shanks did, albeit with help from his crew (which might also have been the case for Shanks).
This also ensures Imu avoids a direct L. He'll place his trust in the controlled and boosted Loki, believing no one could defeat him, while he returns to oversee the Mary Geoise situation. This might be the only time we get another collective Straw Hats group vs. an enemy, since they're becoming too strong: Franky has received a power-up, Chopper's fruit could awaken, and the groundwork has already been laid for Zoro and Sanji's growth.
