Break Week Simple Question: Is Imu First Character Who Will Survive Shanks Test?

[kekaro]

The fact that Luffy reached Gear 5 Nika and Imu revealed his true form, and yet Luffy and Shanks still haven't met, should say it all...

But then there are the turds on this site who keep betting against the Red God King

So Shanks can beat imu and end systematic rape, suffering and slaverly instantly but doesnt cause he doesnt want to? reminds me of another headcanon of a certain painter

Truely the god king

 

[SkySanji]

wrong, because title was fraudelent title. Imu wasn't defeated for 800 years, so he was strongest all time. WB, Kaido, Mihawk are all FRAUDS

Wrong because you say it is wrong

I believe Imu is another character within Shanks' reach, his power is just another problem for main characters to solve.

For example his feat against god valley pirates was very "hype" but in truth its only because of his trick. Once his trick is sorted out, he is no different from other top tiers with strong conquerors haki.

Spoiler: Shanks being an Oda Favorite

One Piece started with Luffy promising Shanks He will surpass him one day, turning Shanks Level into an Endgame Destination for Luffy's Power Growth. Since then, Oda keeps Introducing Powerful Characters, which would automatically make Readers curious about how They compare to Shanks,

Regardless of where you Rank Shanks, and regardless of who you believe are Stronger or Weaker than him, the term I'm gonna use here is "Comparable". Meaning just because A is Stronger than B or Vice Versa, They can still be Comparable & within similar Pay Grade as long as Manga supports it,

Mihawk? He was Compared to Shanks
WB? He was Compared to Shanks
Kaidou? He was Compared to Shanks
Two DFs Blackbeard? He was Compared to Shanks
Emperors in General?
Admirals?
Roger? Rayleigh? Gaban? Oden?
Xebec? Old Gen in General?

It's like no matter who is Latest Hype, no matter which Powerful Character shows up, Oda still finds a way to compare them to Shanks, to insert in his reader's mind the idea that all these guys are still within Shanks Pay Grade, regardless of which one is Stronger,

The Problem is that even in Final Saga, Oda refuses to stop this!
Gorosei? Still Comparable to Shanks
Joy Boy? Even Joy Boy didn't survive Shanks Hype, Oda still compared them,
Then We reach Elbaph, and Oda is so persistent,
He continues to compare Shamrock to Shanks, and compare Loki to Shanks,
And with Reveal of Loki's Powers, this means Shanks is also comparable to Elbaph's God of War & his Rival Nika,

My question is very simple, is Imu gonna be First Character who survives being compared to Shanks (Either Directly or Indirectly)? Because all Characters so far, no matter if They can beat Shanks or lose against him, They are still within reach of his Power Level (Comparable), will Imu be the one to break that Rule?

yep ....

Yeah okay GalaxyLevelShanks

Should Imu not be a tier above Shanks according to you?

 

[Apollo]

Imu should be a tier above Shanks, but I doubt he will be spared here. Like you said, even Joyboy's haki, strong enough to remove the Gorosei from Egghead, was compared to Shanks' haki.

So a comparison that is favorable to Shanks will be made, even if Imu is undeniably stronger.
