Questions & Mysteries Why I believe Imu will resemble Alucard and the Nerona lore will be based on vampire mythology

[a_fan]

I'm a firm believer that the Nerona family is a race of vampires and their lore will be inspired by Castlevania/Hellsing/Vampire Hunter D series since Mihawk and Imu give off strong vibes from it and One Piece has been getting more demonic with each chapter. Both are also implied to be at the very top of the verse yet they remain complete enigmas which highlights their significance. In Vampire D lore, they're the noble rulers of the world. I know Mihawk - Imu connection has been discussed to death but I just want to point out that he might be inspired by that story.

Alucard is a blond bishounen and characters that looks like that are often depicted as some of the most sadistic villains in seinen anime so I believe a bishounen and blonde Cavendish is foreshadowing that Imu will look like him because Hakuba talks like him and Cavendish is obsessed with Luffy much like Imu who was obsessed with Joyboy.

We know that everything shown about Imu has been feminine like and he's obsessed with flowers. Lili and the lily flowers could be inspired by the vampire queen Lilith and the vampire Lily flower.

Meanwhile, Mihawk resembles a Dracula as his name implies and is implied to be brutal much like Imu.

Vampires are also known for their long lifespans, can shapeshift and appear younger.

Alucard is a dhampir, a half vampire and half human. Because of the death of his mother and he doesn't hate humanity, so he fight his father for trying to unleash the demons. In the end, he lost and left a scar on his chest.

Maybe Mihawk is the descendent of estranged son of Imu who sided with the human. Oda just do a name swap on Dracula and Alucard by giving him the name Dracule instead of Alucard.

More than likely imu is a human who has eaten god tier devil fruit and awakened it.

Imu seems as petty as a human as someone like wapol to me

 

[Juanpiz]

Will he have badass guns too?

 

[moreha9685]

Remember when we thought Kaidow as an oni who ate a strong DF, but he turned out to be just a human with a DF? Yeah. This, time two.

Why not a vampire with a god tier devil fruit? That's a broken combo

Will he have badass guns too?

I think he's into swords

For me Kaido's "son" is the second best character in One Piece

You gotta look at Thriller Bark again, it's foreshadowing

just a human with a DF?

Very good theory i would've liked if there was more of it so maybe you should develop this theory more.

But Oda said there wouldn't be a vampire DF so maybe he wants to make them a race, remember there is no fishmen Df too.

Right now we are at the stage where we see time travel, demonic powers and black magic, anything is possible.

Wishful thinking but you do you.

Imu uses a pentacle like in Hellsing which is associated with vampires.

Marijoa is based on France and Castlevania series is set during the French Revolution. Castlevania is also known for a throne room.

Imu's prefix is 16 so the 16th day of the lunar cycle that relates with night and just day after full moon so it aligns with the vampire theme.

Thriller Bark has a lot of vampire references and the villain in that vampire themed arc happens to have similar powers like Imu so i'm sure that's foreshadowing. He also seems to prefer staying in the dark.

For now...

 

[HerreraIsBack]

I don't think so.

Sure think Mihawk has a bit of vampire mythology on his character. The name, the castle, the hunting... But that's it. I don't see Oda going anywhere deeper to it. And he has holy elements with him as well which go against the vampires. And overall story his plot is weak. He is only WSS holder nothing else deeper.

Imu is demonic, the summoning and everything we saw is nothing related to Dracula or vampires.
