That's why I don't know why some people root for Imu being the final villan, wouldn't it be better if the better character out of the two was the final villain?
Everything's so simple in your weak little mind, isn't it? You and many others are going to look very stupid when it turns out their power's something much more than that.
This deadass feels like I'm reading Beelzebub or Fairy Tail, this series took a nosedive in seriousness. Gear 5 was bad enough for tension, now I gotta watch a broad fly around with a cameltoe as the EOS villain.
Honestly, I see Imu as a better version of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya from Naruto. Kaguya was handled kind of like the final boss of a Final Fantasy game: There were virtually no allusions to her existence or buildups to her appearance throughout the story, and as a result feels like she came out of nowhere when she usurps the role of "final boss" from Madara, who was the actual main antagonist. Kaguya's pretty much Necron from Final Fantasy IX: She has no real personality or motivations to her actions, and is essentially there so the main protagonists can have an epic "final boss battle" to end the story with.
Imu is also an antagonist set up to be a much bigger threat than the de facto main antagonist (Blackbeard), but there's much more to Imu than there ever was to Kaguya. Imu isn't an antagonist that'll just appear during the climax of Luffy's battle with Blackbeard and take over Blackbeard's body. Imu isn't an antagonist with no buildup or allusions or personality. Imu actually has a place in a story that makes sense and feels natural. Kaguya's an alien compared to the likes of Orochimaru and Danzo and Madara (which is ironic considering that pretty much what the Ōtsutsukis turn out to be), and thus feels out of place.
Imu feels out of place, too, but it's not in a way that feels like they don't at all belong in this manga, like Kaguya did.
