It seems the majority believes that Luffy has somehow lost his mind and has been taken over by his Zoan form. I dont think that is the case yet because Gaban said it is the decisive moment not that it has already completely happened. But more importantly if Luffy had lost full control then he would be rampaging everywhere but instead he went to the West Village and specifically took out Zaza instead of hurting everyone. To only take out Zaza and save the children while not harming anyone else seems that Luffy has some sort of control over the directions.
Speculations Are We Sure Luffy Lost His Mind?
- Thread starter Blazing Lion
- Start date
Beating Imu doesnt solve the immediate children getting kidnapped problem though. You dont know how long it will take to stop Imu and if the children get taken away then the actual reason of Imu arriving is achieved. The kidnapping is the ticking time bomb of the arc (even though its weird compared to previous ones).
I am not denying that there is no Zoan takeover, I am saying its not complete.

We could still be wrong but for now this seems the most logical and shonen thing to happen.
The only reason I could see against this is that Luffy never ever had an introspective moment in the whole series - as in we never got to see his inner monologue or thoughts. He's always been a very outspoken and reactionary character.
Let's see how this develops

I wanted to to a theory about this but might as well post here a very brief summary, zoan have their own will like we all know we saw that awakend zoan like the guards from impel down can just become primal. It is a very big possibility the more you stay in you full zoan the more you could lose your control.
Now we also know there are a lot of different zoan types imagine now having the zoan of a literal god, luffy did something he asked his fruit not to let him go back to his normal form because he will not make it. The sun God for the first time answered the call and took control luffy might not even remember this form nor what happened as I think he has passed out. What we are seeing is nika doing what he wants acting on pure instinct.
Imu himself might have been long lost from his orignal form as the devil fruit might have taken full control. If his df is a devil, maybe Lucifer himself being corrupted and posed by the df could make sense, that will explain why he has moments of clarity and others of broken speach

I have one more question, is Oda hiding another Zoan Awakening?
Because apparently, you have your Original Body + Zoan Body, and you can combine them to have Hybrid Body,
You also have your Original Will + Zoan Will, and it's suggested that Awakening is when you access that Zoan Will granting you an even Stronger Transformation, eventually you have to tame it, otherwise you end up like Jailer Beasts,
This is similar to Cavendish & Hakuba, who suggested that it's possible for both Wills to fuse (An idea Oda teased since Mihawk's Introduction as those Eyes seem related, but such concept was truly first shown when Wapol fused Chess & Kuromarimo),
I think it's possible we still haven't seen "True" Awakening of Zoans, where both User & Zoan Will fuse their consciousness & by extension their memories too.
