  • One Piece Chapter 1085 teased the abilities of both the Gorosei and Imu, but Imu's speech pattern in Japanese may give us some key clues about their personality and powers, so let's break it all down together!

    Holy shit, the fact that Imu has a power related to Ink makes SO MUCH SENSE. The power that can write and erase history, the power that can paint every horrific figure you can imagine, the power that can eradicate whole Islands by JUST CROSSING IT OUT ON A MAP. In chapter 1060 Imu holds a brush with black paint crossing out Lulusia...
    That's just so fitting. Luffy can alter reality like in a cartoon or in a comic book & Imu can alter reality like in a canvas or in a written book.

      I really like this theory, also based since we know almost all devil fruits have a lesser and greater version, Imus fruit could be the upgraded version of Kanjuros brush brush fruit, with their "ink" creations being permanent. Could lead to the Goresei being into creations, because they would be permanent or resilient version of Kanjuros creations they could obtain scars, and it would explain their transformations

      Exactly! At the top of the world, at the top heaven where god and his angels are supposed to be, Sabo found the devil and his angels. Where is the god and his angels? They've been overthrown and cast down to the earth, forced to live as shadows lest their light become extinguished. These are the D, those who hold the will/spirit of rebellion. The real god, Joyboy was the god who was cast down. The will of D is also the will of god, the true god, Joyboy, the sun god who brought light and prosperity to the world. He was the Dawn, and it's the Dawn that is being waited for.
      Also, Luffy hasn't fully awakened as joyboy yet. What we've seen against Kaido is just the tip of the iceberg.

    I think something worth mentioning is that Luffy's power is sort like a blank sheet of paper. From an artists perspective, the pure white of a fresh canvas represents infinite possibilities, and the only limit is your imagination. Gear 5 is the power of limitless potential, of a new beginning, of freedom.
    And what about an image already drawn? They say that art is never finished, only abandoned, but you cannot keep drawing on the same sheet of paper forever. The more you draw, the more cramped and cluttered the image becomes until it loses all its value. Once the pen makes its stroke and the ink is left to dry, the pitch blackness is there to stay. Imu is much the same. For 800 years he's ruled the same world with the same iron fist and the same suffocating dogmas. Imu intends to keep the world in a stasis where his rule is perpetual, but by what authority does one artist silence the rest and proclaim that no more art is to be made? And even more than that, by what means? No matter how firm your grasp, no matter how nighmarish your power, you will never break man's will to dream. You can never take away imagination.
    Imu's powers are finality, control, and cold reality. Luffy's powers are imagination, freedom, hope and a new beginning. No matter how tightly Imu clings to his present, Joyboy, the freest man on the sea, will one day wrest the world from his hands and turn the page to the future.

    Maybe that is the reason why the D. are the enemies of Imu. If Imu can project peoples nightmares(as opposite to Luffy that can project his own dreams), the D. clan that doesn't fear death and instead smiles at it could be the weakness of Imu's powers. So, if everyone is given the D. and become immune to fear of Imu, it could make Imu weaker and weaker, until it no longer is a threat

    This would be fucking awesome and perfect way to give Luffy a final battle that truly tests capabilities of his DF and thus, imagination. Both have limitless potential, but one of them has had centuries to come up with new attacks and counters for whatever the new Joyboy could come up with. And that also offers great symbolic ending for the battle: Imu, despite his infinite potential is stuck in the past, thinking he's fighting against the previous Joyboy. He's spent so much time alone that his imagination has become dull and even though he has insane variety of attacks and some truly devastating combos, it's nothing compared to sheer insanity Luffy comes up with. The theme of this story has always been about passing the torch and starting the new age and Luffy in most concrete representation possible destroys the old and obsolete way of thinking that has become anchor holding back progress.
    And if you wanna turn up the heat even more, make Imu the fake final boss. In comes Blackbeard, finally taking his third fruit. He's a dreamer like Luffy and in his hands the same DF is now ten times more dangerous.The real final battle begins...

    To be honest, it would make so much sense for the fruit to be correlated with cartoons like Nika.
    I could see it being the Ink Ink Fruit (a logia fruit) that can affect the manga itself. This theory already has some merit to it considering what you were mentioning Ohara, along with the fact that Imu was able to obstruct our view of dialogue between Cobra and Sabo. The theory would imply that Imu intentionally did this, rather than it being something done by Oda himself. This theory also may have merit from what you were mentioning about the power "dripping" ink/some liquid substance when attacking Cobra, along with the idea that this fruit contrasts the Nika fruit so well.
    Regardless of the theory, one piece has been so wild recently, it's been surreal.

    I think everyone is wrong about Saturn. While it looks like horns. It also looks like the front of a Mantaray. Couple this with the arrow or stinger coming from Cobra’s left and it makes sense. It is also the most detailed, except for maybe the bird, because we will see his transformation the soonest in egghead. Also him having killed Cobra could come up in egghead enraging Luffy and them fighting. This would also be a fish fruit, the second we have seen. I think all 5 of their fruits will be aquatic.

I think that Imu possibly represents the cartoonish devil as you said and it uses the powers of nightmares to change reality but Luffy having the powers of Ultimate Freedom can withstand their warping capabilities. According to various folklores, the devil only comes out at night and this would tie in to the coming of the Dawn and Luffy now bearing the title of the Sun God Nika. He along with the other Clan of D members will bring about the dawn to defeat the Devils that pull the strings of the World Government. Despite the horrors that The Devil ( Imu) inflict upon the world, Luffy’s Laughter will spread far and wide. His laughter be heard by all and people will have hope as they watch him liberate them from the darkness.

    Based on the way Imu explains the D name, it technically sounds like a label ascribed on part of Imu for those who were against them. For Imu to be unaware (suspicious at best) that Lili was a D says it is not just a attribution status/name but something that is more specific/innate, that they just happened to co-opt into their current specific usage. Yeah Ace says Sabo can have a D if you really want, but you have to caution yourself away from just saying it’s something that can be purely ascribed.
    1. Ace is a child without any meaningful parental connection to have value for the meaning of his name beyond Portgas which he values his mother, he had no care for the Gol name, let alone Roger. Using this child as a valid example is weak at best.
    2. The celestials are also just working off the same propaganda that Imu created as I doubt they as a group know anything more about the past, with only as far as we’re aware Imu, the gorosei, the ohara scholars, and the Roger pirates (WB through Roger) are truly aware of.
    I am aware of the overall theming that Oda wants people to see beyond blood, names, and labels when it comes to family, but at least in the current chapter as it is presented the D label still seems to work in a traditional lineage fashion. If anything I would want acknowledgment from Law on Lami’s status as a D, to confirm whether or not it has specific usage or broad lineage application (not specific people of a blood family). I am also very curious as to why Water is a secret name along side D…

    I noticed something interesting with the translation of Sabos attack. You mentioned that Sabos attack was a reference to a checkmate in chess were the king is surrounded by his own pieces. The english term for that would be a "smothered mate". This is the way some scans I read translated it. However the official release instead translates his attack as "rook check" , which is just a move where you check the enemy king with your rook., nothing special. I'm curious why the official translation decided to change the chess move.

    My thoughts & opinions of the chapter:
    1. After learning that Vivi’s ties to the D initial is one of the main reasons why her ancestor didn't become a Celestial Dragon & there's Poneglyph in Alabasta's royal castle, wouldn't this mean the other places Luffy visited (such as Sky Island, Fishman Island, Zou, Wano, and probably Amazon Lily) respectively had D carriers regardless of who they are, or if they still exist today?
    2. After seeing the silhouettes of the form Imu & the Elders recently took on, I am getting the feeling that Luffy will most likely be screwed unless he takes Saturn very seriously!

    I don't think the D stands for dawn because it wouldn't make sense for characters like Blackbeard and Xebec to have the D initial since they are not portrayed as characters that will bring about the Dawn. I think it makes more sense for the D initial to mean Dreams, the clan of Dreams or Dreamers. This would also make sense as to why the D clan is the natural enemy of God's, considering Imu's abilities look something like nightmare abilities, then the natural enemy of Nightmares would be Dreams. Also Blackbeards speech to Luffy was about a man's dream never dies etc so he has been portrayed as a character that has Dreams... anyways would love to hear what you guys think about this 😊
    Edit: also there is emphasis that every member that joins Luffy's crew has a dream, and Luffy being the leader of that crew and the only member on the crew to have a D initial, would be the person to lead them to their Dreams.

    I have a theory that the bald Gorosei that carries a sword with him, actually has the Hito Hito no mi model: Susanoo no Mikoto, The shinto god of Sea, Storms, Fields, the harvest, Marriage and Love this could fit well because, if he has the God of the Sea powers this would symbolise how much power the Gorosei have over the seas, that they are basically gods, also The bald Gorosei also appears to be most Japanese looking (maybe he might be from Wano), so him having a Shinto Kami DF could work well with his appearance, similar to how Sengoku kinda looks like Buddha even in Human form, also another piece of foreshadowing for this is his sword he keeps on him, and the god Susanoo no Mikoto was also known for being a swordsman, so this could very well likely be his Awakened transformation into Susanoo no mikoto

    The way I see it is as follows. The Ds were the enemy of the 20 before Lily's blunder. Lily was initially aligned with the other 19 kings, but someone of the D clan saw she's humane and convinced her of the error of their ways. So she decided to join the D clan, but hide the D initial from the 19 so they would keep on trusting her while she could hinder their plans.
    I find it less certain, but also probable that Lily ate the paw paw fruit, sent the letter before the blunder, tried to make the blunder seem like a no-glasses-tashigi style accident, and then the childish Imu threw a fit and killed her immediately, before getting the info from her if she might have any connections to the Ds. (just headcannon from now on) Hence Imu lived in spiteful suspicion for the last 800 years, and the sole reason for allowing Cobra to witness his existence was to clear this up. This in turn might make his inner anger resurface and the man hunt for the Ds begins. Besides the power ups (3rd fruit blackbeard, holy knights, awakened ancient Zoan Gorosei, the devil Imu), I feel that's how Oda could raise the stakes for our crew plotwise as well. Being in a hurry to find the One Piece while being hunted seems exciting, though I'm not sure what exactly it would take for Luffy to actually run instead of taking the persuers head on.

    He's nearby for the attack coming from behind Cobra's left and there's a panel before Sabo is attacked again with the blob looking Gorosei and the tail attacking.
    The way it's framed and positioned leads me to think of the scene this way but I don't think it takes away much from the Imu thought.

    More and more it seems like Imu could be Lili after she ate a Devil Fruit (more than likely was forced which is the opposite of Luffy eating one on accident) and the Devil Fruit took over the body. Instead of Lili taking control, the Devil Fruit itself took over and renamed itself Imu.
    Also, the Mu part in some was mentioned to also mean Void. What if the Void Century is what happened after Imu/Mu took control of Lili? The Mu Century...the reign of Imu begins by wiping out any and all traces of the history prior.

      No it doesn't? Imu and Lili were 2 distinct people back then, Cobra essentially confirmed it. Please move on to a different theory. Lili = Imu is boring

      @@TuskyBaby No. Cobra states he had heard of the name Imu before, and that there was a relation to that name and the 20 Kingdoms, but it was cut off by Imu/Mu before anything further was stated. As well as Imu stated that they would not elaborate on what Cobra was talking about there.
      Imu can still be an entity that could take over people, or was a Demon trapped inside a Devil Fruit/source of the Devil Fruits/Devil incarnate and took over Lili.

    I was discussing this with a friend, and we reached the conclusion that it would be thematically appropiate for Im to be a traitor to the D clan. Considering how much relevance "Inherited will" has on the series, maybe Im was born as a member to the D clan, but decided to seek a different sort of freedom: one that allowed it to "break free" from the Will of D.

    Sabo is the luckiest man alive in one piece. He escaped certain death three times or more, first during his childhood, second mariejois, third lulusia.

    At 15:09 .. that panel of Imu rushing towards Sabo reminds me of Luffy in Gear 5 vs Lucci, where his huge head was trying to eat Lucci.
