Character Discussion IMU = Luffy Gear 5 minutes

[Fujishiro]

- It’s the One Piece topic I care about the most, and I enjoy getting flamed by people who disagree with me

More power to you m8.

 

[Fujishiro]

I really hope Imu is the main villain., not Blackbeard.

I don’t really care lmao.

 

[Impact]

Imu is an extremely generic villain and that's all these guys know so of course that's what they want, I'm not sure they would understand anything else.

Currently, they're framing the story as a Jesus Vs. Satan story.

We don’t know anything about Imu to decide what he is.

Thats what the Harley is pointing at, could be wrong though.

You always say you don't know anything while at the same time pushing an extremely generic plot point.

They WANT Jesus Vs. Satan. They're not putting any other ideas together because they simply don't want to.

Mate for me MF painted it out clearly that the main enemy is the WG and getting the OP makes you the challenger against the WG. Imu being the head of the WG points towards him being the final villain but like I’ve been saying for years now I do believe BB will be in the final battle but Imu will be there too.

 

[BattalGazi]

Oda has always said that with Gear 5 he wanted to subvert battle shonen tropes.
With Imu he’s doing the exact same thing. On the surface, he presents the perfect final villain: beautiful, charismatic, godlike… everything you’d expect from a battle shonen endgame. But the more you look at him, the more that image falls apart.

Cries because everyone’s mean to him

Totally incompetent and blames inevitability

Spent 800 years staring at a portrait of a girl, living in fear like Orochi

Couldn’t even stand upright on his reveal

Has the most cliché design imaginable

Am I just overrating Oda, thinking the finale of One Piece deserves more? Would you really be happy with a final villain like this, who ends up facing the protagonist without any twists or subversion of expectations? Should One Piece really be like any other battle shonen?
Or is Imu just a scam, and Oda is setting up something actually satisfying?

I think Imu will go down this arc.

 

[Fujishiro]

I think Imu will go down this arc.

Very unlikely.

 

[MUUGEN]

We deserve Akainu as final villain. Kill MU. Become true leader of the world. Final arc is God King Akainu Luffy

akainu isnt even a top 5-10 in the current verse though...

We deserve Nothing,it isnt out Story lol

 

[DenifClock]

I don’t really care lmao.

Good thing I don't care what you care about

 

[Fujishiro]

Good thing I don't care what you care about

Ok? I meant it as I don’t care who’s the FV. Wether its BB or Imu as long as it makes sense it’s fine by me.

Oh mb, I misunderstood

 

[Fujishiro]

Oh mb, I misunderstood

No worries.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

You think Blackbeard is a subversion of expectations?

 

[Fujishiro]

Oda laying it on thick since Egghead that BB wants the throne so it’s expected now that he gets it or tries to. Its funny how they think it would be this cool plot twist when it’s the more popular opinion.

It’s wild how so much of the proof BB for FV fans use to justify it works better for Buggy lmao

 

[HerreraIsBack]

Oda is subverting everyone's expectations in doing a purposefully bad manga all long. He really is GODA. He was never a bad writer. He consciously choose to write bad stuff.
