I’ve always liked Mihawk, not that I have ever thought him to be an über complex character, but he had enough aura that he didn’t need a ton of writing to be likable. However since Wano I have had my gripes with just how erratic and inconsistent his motives have been. During chapter 957 he was...
Koala already stated in the reverie that the Revs are only aimed at removing the Celestial Dragons not the marines but then how are they gonna deal with the dozens of marine higher ups who have authorized or personally been involved in buster calls and genocides. What happens to onigumo...
The two biggest complaints I’ve seen vis-à-vis Imu’s design are that firstly, it doesn’t fit with the the formal corporate/regal look of the Gorosei and the God’s Knight. Imu looks more like a criminal than the leader of the only institution providing order on the blue planet. But what critics...
This topic came to mind because of the announcement of Detective Conan ending in the near future. I’ll say 2034, 8 years from know.

I think the explanation will be that subsconciously Imu is lonely and wants a challenge similar to the ones he had in the void century. This why he smiles when he sees Loki's nidhogg form and when he sees Ragnir. This why Usopp's words got him so heated because he actually does want to struggle...
If Oda, or god forbid, Kishimoto, wrote a transformation for a female character where she is nearly fully nude for the only purpose of fan service, said transformation regresses her mind to the point of being an actual animal and it turns out only a male character can tame her. Literally...
since the reveal last chapter many people have come under the impression that the 19 blades of the founders are actual weapons in the same vein as the Meito. In reality, as should be obvious to any non-speed reader, the 19 blades are purely Omen constructs. They only exist as Imu has created...
At this point victory is a matter of necessity for Imu if he is to have any sort of value as a threat in the mind of the reader. It would be the apotheosis of anticlimax to have our Final Villain finally forced to directly combat the protagonist only for him to completely fail in all his...
Imu clearly massively outclasses Luffy and is Top 1 all time. Shanks said his power is immeasurable and taking him out rn would also waste all the Gorosei and God’s Knights as well deflate the inevitable Void Century flashback. Luffy beating him this arc would kill all stakes and tension for the...
Of the 9 named Divine Blades this chapter only one of them has not been shown on panel already. That is Muramasa, named after a 15th century Japanese swordsmith said to make cursed swors which call out for blood. This is nearly word for word the same description we are given of the Kitetsu...
It’s kinda odd that Imu seems to have no care for his own descendants. He did betray the pact of equality among the twenty kings and usurped power for himself but he hasn’t favored his own descendants in any way.
As we all known Imu is a pretty obvious foil to a couple of the main themes of One Piece like Inherited Will, Freedom, Romanticism, etc. But I think this chapter might hint at another theme which Imu contrasts, found family. Upon initially reading the chapter I found Imu’s dialogue about Luffy’s...
Unlike the other 7 which have been shown Imj’s Halberd was never officially named like Stigma, Nemesis, Gram, Longinus, or Xengtian. However in Chapter 1188 he turns his Halberd into a an omen ball returns it to the ring around his backconfirming that the Halberd is another Omen weapon.
Right...
Every volume of Elbaf except the latest one (Vol. 115) has had 11 chapters. Last chapter was an exception, as stated by Oda, because he wanted to end it with Imu’s first appearance as the cliffhanger (Chapter 1179). Chapter 1180 would be the 11th chapter since the end of the last volume, chapter...
