Imu is the final villain. As such Oda will give him abilities that set him apart from the other villains in the final war. So far we have no idea what these abilities are.
Imu is immortal, but so are the gorosei.
Imu seemingly has a mythical zoan, but so do the Gorosei.
What makes Imu special?
One thing Oda has consistently used to make characters stand out is by giving them special/supernatural bodies.
Kaido is an Oni
BM is a freak of nature
Teach has a special lineage
The same will likely be true of Imu. But what is special about Imu?
While there is very little to go off of, I want to theorize about the possibility of him being from the 3 eye tribe.
So far, the 3 eyes are extremely mysterious. They are on the same level as the lunarians and the buccaneers in that they have been nearly eradicated.
They also have special powers once their 3rd eye awakens. We know one of these powers is reading the poneglyphs, but we don’t know if that is all they can do.
I think it’s very possible that the 3 eyes were a god race on par with, if not stronger than, the lunarians.
in Hinduism, the 3rd eye is associated with the god Shiva and that by opening it, he can destroy anything he looks at.
I think that while Lunarians have the ultimate defense, the 3 Eyes could have the ultimate offense, being able to incinerate anything they look at with their 3rd eye, much like Shiva can in the myth.
overall the 3 eyes is one of the most mysterious races in OP. They’re also the only one we’ve yet to see in action, as Pudding stated her eye was yet to awaken.
This fact imo makes the 3 eyes a good candidate for Imu’s race. It would set him apart from basically every other character in the series as the only other 3 eyes we know of is Pudding, who isn’t a fighter and hasn’t awaken her eye.
