Current Events What is the point of immortality if your mind is eternally stuck at certain timeline?

[K!NG HARA$H!MA]

This blob called IMU seems to be unable to move on after his win against Joy Boy and his forces.


Joy Boy and Co. Tried to cope with their defeats with things like Prophecy and IMU fell to the bait

He keep reviving this dead persons through their descendants,

He thinks Rocks and BB is Davy, Luffy is Joy Boy and Vivi is Lili.

If he win again, he'll think Lexec as Davy, Buffy as JB and Riri as Lili


Hence he keep reviving the same tension and paranoia.



He's simply unable to move on.

His obsession and politicizing his long dead enemies bloodline is causing this repetitive loop.


This one of many reasons why immortality sucks. Your mind is eternally trapped at certain age and certain time.


Imu still don't have the maturity to understand that nothing lasts forever

Then move on Bitch

I think your mind would kind of have to be stuck otherwise you would go insane or suffer stress from being alive so long.

Maybe obsessing after Vivi is Imu's coping mechanism.

 

[Rumble]

Desires for immortality are typically rooted in fears and regrets.

A lot of times, it's punishment, not a reward.

It's entirely unsurprising Imu is a prisoner of the past.

He's most likely not even a thousand years old, but I would imagine he thinks there are solutions to be developed and things he can set right with just enough time.

It does make you wonder why it has taken so long to acquire an Ancient Weapon. I'm thinking he's physically limited from travelling freely.

It certainly seems to be punishment for Imu or rather living in fear as Rocks pointed out.

Have you seen how they govern the world? How their aristocracy behaves?

Imu isn't the brightest bulb. Even for OP average iq standards

It's more of arrogance.


Normies of aristocrat just enjoy the privilege and the elites run the world with unmatched powers for 800 years

So, rubber snaps. Bends and snaps.

What if Joy Boy "sealed" Imu in Marijoa, in the sense he "glued him" there, like rubber?

Remember all the tree resin theories surrounding Gear 5?

What if Imu is sealed into the Sunlight Tree Eve by Nika's resin?

So, Imu can "stretch" out of the Holy Land, but will always snap back until this seal is broken.

Kidd's Fruit also interests me a lot here, since Gerd was talking about Sommer's regeneration being almost magnetic.

What if the previous Jika user died using their awakening to Assign Imu to the Holy Land, and they can only resist for a period of time before they're pulled back?

While it is very possible that this is a curse from a devil, i'd like it more if the reason Imu can't leave is because of some effort the good guys put in during the void century.

This is a very deep post,and i think you nailed very well the psychology of Imu.

But maybe he also knew for sure that Joy Boy would return somehow. We will understand that better in the Void Century flashback

Even then, 800 years is a longgggg time

Perhaps forgetting it is better than being obsessed with it . It will make difference anyways

 

[Johnny B. Decent]

We also should note that he has probably been hidden away with minimal contact with others probably not all 800 plus years since the WG was formed, but still several centuries, none the less.

Imagine never leaving the same castle for at least 600 years. We're lucky Imu can actually talk and doesn't need adult diapers.

 

[Ninja9999]

For Imu immortality is useless because he is afraid of all those people catching up with him. Afraid that he will lose it all, and he has a lot to lose. You're right that the fact that he can't let go of the past is causing him even more problems now. Though I don't know whether it is that the immortality froze his mind and he can't mature or he's just like that. Plenty of people never get past being childish, selfish and envious and aren't immortal. Either way immortality sucks, in this case especially for Imu.

One of my favourite lines of dialogue from a kids movie sums it up rather well:

"Once you steal something, you spend your whole life fighting to keep it."

And not only that For probably the last 800 years,

He goes to his room daily and see this big image he hanged on his wall and remember how Lily cucked him with Joy Boy

Maybe if he travelled the earth despite his nerf he could have gotten a much better women than Lily and actually have fullfilling life to the point he want to off himself.

 

[Konstantis]

When mortals think about an immortal uncomfortable life, it sounds really funny :D

Imagine if human beign live as long as cats or dogs? From a cat's perspective, living 100 to 80 years is too long. This is a stupid discussion.

 

[Owl Ki]

Inherited will is very much a part of One Piece's story and Oda himself keeps making folks a repeat of past figures. So funnily enough in this story, Imu isn't a paranoid retard, he is actually correct. Luffy is in fact the successor to both Roger and Joy Boy, Blackbeard is in fact the successor to Rocks and Davy Jones etc.

Wow, a deep analytic post by Harashima how unexpecte-
