In my Chinapiece thread, I explained IMU’s is based on Shu IMU a dragon demon who floods the world. Expanding on that, I want to share why IMU probably has the Model Green Dragon, and we have already seen his zoan form:
The statue in Ryuuga palace is green not blue, so it’s based on another dragon then Kaiodu’s DF.
The 4 clawed Dragon is grasping the Ryuuga palace, which has a large red circle in the middle. The celestial dragon symbol is 4 claws grasping a large circle
The large circle is representative of the pearls that Chinese Dragons hold. Shu IMU being part dragon possessed her own pearl, know as the magic water repelling
In Chinese folktales fish become dragons when they climb to the top of waterfalls. A Chinese Dragon, Kaidou takes residence on top of the borders surrounding Wano, in Onigashima. A Chinese Dragon IMU takes residence on top of the red line which surrounds the world.
In China the 5 elements are very important and correspond to different animals, colors, and emotions. The Chinese Dragon is associated with the element of wood, called Mu in Chinese. Mu corresponds to the color green and the emotion of anger
In Japanese the expression of puffing up one’s cheeks in anger is given the sound effect Mu.

The only emotion IMU typically exhibits is anger.
One Piece hinted at different gods in skypia.
The forest god is Mori Kami. Mori can mean forest or wood. Compare this to the Sun God.
Sun is related to the fire element, which in the Chinese chart above is related to joy. The Sun god’s name is the sound effect for a joyful smile in Japanese, Nika. The character inspirations seem the same.
