Current Events Imu is finished as the final villain
- Thread starter Definitivo
- Start date
For me it’s the opposite. I don’t understand why people would want just another pirate as FV instead of the oppressive Government with far greater forces that outlawed piracy itself.
The whole theme of freedom & rebellion is best served by facing overwhelming odds in the form of those who rule the world…not some fellow rebel that’s in the same boat as you.
I literally already listed all the links Luffy has to Rocks. Even Kaido envisioned Rocks when Luffy punched him in the face. Did you think that was a mistake?
Did you think ALL the progeny of Rocks gravitating towards Luffy was some cosmic error?
Luffy is going to overthrow Imu & the WG not for personal aggrandizement, but because he wants to be the most free.
He is going to succeed where every one of those 5 Great pirates failed: Rocks, Roger, Whitebeard, Oden & Shanks.

They’re pirates, why would they care about other people's freedom?
I get it they are good guys but the goal was to look for the OP, not to fight to overthrow the WG and discover the void century history. That should be a side quest.
I find the Gorosei powers and the immortality hax extremely boring, especially that it all relies on the power of one dude. It's not even the Gorosei or HKs own powers.
BB and the admirals are by far more interesting to me.

It’s not just other people’s freedoms, it’s theirs as well. The WORLD itself is after them. It’s the WG that burned down Robin’s home and told her that her very existence is a crime! How could they be free in a world like that?
I think it’s always been clear that finding the OP is not the end of things. Clearly something has to be done with it or the WG wouldn’t go to such lengths to hide it.
They killed BABIES just to wipe out the bloodline of Roger for finding it. Luffy’s brother was executed in front of the entire world for it, his very existence treated as a crime.
The Strawhats would never be free in a world like that, and that has always been the main quest of the story to me, not a side quest.
It’s dealing with every petty pirate tyrant that never come half as close as the atrocities of the WG that has been the side quest…or at least preparation for the main one.
I find the immortality stuff kinda boring as well…but it’s not like the BB pirates’ fruits are much better. That’s just Oda’s lack of creativity, but it doesn’t change that the overarching story has always been rebellion against the tyrannical WG.

Yami or Gura are not mysteries, using both at the same time however is a huge mystery, BB is the first guy in history to use two fruits.
Imu fans are something else, even though Ivankov basically spelled it out for them that he is king Nerona Imu that used the immortality surgery, they still think he is some supernatural being.

When Blackbeard Pirates find out how to counter regen, the Gorosei are in shambles.
Supposed EoS villain got pushed by Egghead Zoro
It is not a good portrayal for him.
Unlike the Blackbeard Pirates who keep growing stronger, the mirror of Straw Hats, the Gorosei are supposed to be in their peak already.
Shiryu bodies this bum Nusjuro and takes his Kitetsu.
Because as much as I want Oda to wank Raiu, let's accept it, Shodai Kitetsu got superior portrayal than Raiu that is not even confirmed as 1 of 12 supreme blades.

We've seen more from Blackbeard and Teach than Imu, especially character-wise. Imu's still a massive mystery even down to their design and the nature of their means of granting abilities and possession. Akainu will be faced first by Luffy, we're most familiar with him and his moves save for an awakening then Teach who may have another fruit up his sleeve by then, lastly Imu who we don't even fully know the appearance or fruit of but we'll be more familiar with thanks to encounters like this one. That's how I see it anyhow. We'll see eventually.
Nothing has changed
IMU is still a mysterious figure ruling from the shadows.
He's downfall will begin when the world will become aware of his existence but until then oda is simply showing us the glimpse of this power.
Having that said, don't forget - BB is the only villain marked (along side Luffy, Vivi and Poseidon) by IMU.
No matter how powerful IMU is - BB will play a big role in sending this ancient relic packing.
