Questions & Mysteries Could Imu be the Devil? Asmodeus

Yup. The WG symbol itself is a cross.
Speaking of which:

And the lesser Key of Solomon’s symbols ressembles the symbol on the empty throne and WG insignia.


Also:

Adding to this, the sigil for Asmodeus in the lesser key of Solomon has IMU’s tail/arrow on it:

Onigashima convinced me that Lolda isn't that smart, but okay.
He was great pre skip lmfao. Maybe now that we're reaching endgame he's going back on track on story beats he had ready since way back then?

Which in later Christian European folklore became associated with devilry and Lucifer.
Did you read this second part TACy? Give it a read. Its from another reader who went into more detph about it and uncovered some cool associations with the imagery that was presented this chapter.
Here is more Info guys from another member named Turrin over on NF ( His theory)

With the reveals this chapter I think we can safely guess who IMU is, and the answer is Asmodeus, an ancient Demon who was from the Lesser Key of Solomon, who once stole Solomon’s Kingdom from him, until Solomon eventually reclaimed it by recovering his magic ring and sealing Asmodeus.
—-
Now aside from Sabo describing the throne room as hell and Asmodeus steeling a throne similar to IMU.

Why do I say IMU is definitely inspired by Asmodeus. Well Asmeodeus is described as:

“Asmodeus with the breast of a man, a cock leg, serpent tail, three heads (one of a man spitting fire, one of a sheep, and one of a bull), riding a lion with dragon wings and neck”

Most of these iconography is very visible in the chapter:

Imu who is in the center looks the most Human, just like the center of Asmodeus does. Flames are also shown coming from his mouth with him swallowing them from Sabo:

IM also seems to have a dragon like tail:


The Gorosei also seem to fit Asmodeus’s animal like parts:

1) Saturn and Mustache Gorosei could easily be Bull and Sheep like Monsters

2) Bird Gorosei can easily be the Rooster aspect

3) The empty throne IMU sits on has Snake like Lions, and the final two Gorosei could also have these aspects or other aspects associated with Asmodues (I haven’t researched everything).
—-
Also if we look at IMU’s eyes this chapter they get more rings when he gets mad an swallows Sabo’s fire exactly like the Jinn summoned in WCI arc:

—-
And the lesser Key of Solomon’s symbols is now very clearly to me the symbol on the empty throne and WG insignia:

—-
We also must remember that Alabasta is very Arabian nights symbolic, so the Demon King of Jinn being Lilly’s enemy would fit very well on that level. It also would give us an idea that One Piece could be ether Solomon’s Ring equivalent or the Seal to imprison Imu equivalent.​



Although Turrin seems to believe that the tails are more dragon like he still believes the theme of the devil is present here.

More thoughts are welcome!

This chapter is a mess, but i'm pretty sure that wasn't IM, it was one of the Gorosei that attacked Cobra

The Devil rapresent the hell? But we need something opposite to the Sun, and we have already Teach whit this role: Nika the "Sun" vs Teach the "Darkness", light vs darkness.

Imu, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

The gorosei started transforming after being hit by Sabo not before.

The name Dracula means “son of Dracul.” In the Romanian language today, dracul means “the devil”—drac is “devil,” ul is “the”—but it is derived from the Latin dracō, “dragon.” (Dragons have been historically associated with Satan, hence the evolution.
Son of the devil :pepehawk:

Castlevania Dracula has heavy connections with hell and demons.
