Character Discussion Im sama: strong or weak–that's the question!? Is Im sama a Kaido type character or Orichi type? The million dollar question!

[fanboy]

He's definitely more of a Zoro-type character. Acts high and mighty, but is mid tier at best.

 

[Ballel]

Why would they? His existence goes against anything the WG is pushing with empty throne.

That's what I'm saying. Imu has no authority among anyone else because no one knows he exists.

 

[Master OF Haki]

Who said Im is One Person?

Excuse me?

 

[Ballel]

Who said Im is One Person?

:zorothink: elaborate please

His men do lol. Even Akainu wonders whether he's serving someone else then he thinks he is.

 

[Tai long]

Must be because of some void century authority stuff, maybe hereditary just like the whole concept of celestial dragons is them being the descendants of the 20 kingdoms despite them being weak.

But that won’t warrant controlling the final villain or maybe the final villain battle wise is actually joy boy himself (head canon) who is controlled by imu

 

[Master OF Haki]

It really doesn't make sense to me that the guy who LITERALLY rules the world for 1000 years is a weakling, that can't be.

Compare these two panels, this is not a coincidence.

So he is just like a more extreme version of Doflamingo? Makes sense

One Piece Kaguya

 

[Master OF Haki]

One Piece Kaguya

I guess.

 

[Night Flight]

I really hope Imu is more of the "mastermind" type of antagonist than a real fighter, mostly because I want Luffy's final battle to be against Akainu, who has had much better setup in the story and would easily be a more emotional and personal fight than Imu.

I'm just tired of this shonen trope where the author introduces the final villain VERY late into the series, like Naruto and Bleach, so we don't really feel any connection to them.

 

[NAMELESS]

Btw, Yuderon believes that Im has the DF ability that allows him to control the seas.

Water df i heard that somewhere too.

I think Im will do something before the final war, his identity might be exposed.

 

[Ballel]

No, he'll be revealed in the last chapter. As a silhouette

 

[Master OF Haki]

No, he'll be revealed in the last chapter. As a silhouette

Or maybe he will get angry at something and jump from his window just like Doffy to kill Luffy by his own hands, or some shit like that.

so the bald gorosei with the mark on his head is the strongest one?

 

[Master OF Haki]

so the bald gorosei with the mark on his head is the strongest one?

I don't know, I don't think that the point of these panels is about that, but who knows.

 

[JoNdule]

so the bald gorosei with the mark on his head is the strongest one?

He might not be the stronger but he's always the one that is like the leader who talks more
And usually sit sit in the middle

Trebol was the chief of staff of leader of seats while Vergo was the strongest
Same thing might be here

 

[Salah WG]

Excuse me?

:zorothink: elaborate please

Imu is both a Woman & a Man (Not Trans, i'm talking about a Fusion like Cavendish/Hakuba)
Double-Layered Eyes were only the First Hint

Second Hint is in the naming of the Island where Celestial Dragons were & Rocks Attacked, "God's Valley"
In Jaya, when they wanted to resolve something, they offered their Most Beautiful Female to their so-called God (Kind in a Valley too)

Wouldn't this explain why all Celestial Dragons bothered to leave their comfort in Mary Geoise & travel to that Island?
And why also call it God's Valley, apparently they also offered their Most Beautiful Female to who they worship
(This Offering is also the reason Rocks decided to go there)

Third Hint is in the naming itself
When written in Katakana, "Im" is actually combination of the word "Adam" & "Eve" (Think of it like Adave or Evdam or whatever)
And together they mean Buddha, so the Naming suggests Adam + Eve = God
(There are even Important Trees named like that in OP World, Sunlight Tree Eve & Treasure Tree Adam)

I wouldn't call this Proof, but i think it's good enough food for thought, for now (And Im's Identity is just Tip of the Iceberg)
The solid proof & full details, i will hopefully reveal them in my upcoming Full OP Analysis
Trust me, but OP after Break is gonna be Mind Blowing (At least Story & Reveals wise, can't guarantee the Pacing & Fights)

Problem is that Luffy already had a big win over WSC Kaido and he will do so against the 3 devil fruit eater BB. Is Akainu that much of a stronger challenge than Kaido or BB? He isnt. The final boss and ultimate challenge should be a tier above all these guys.
