That would be such a twist and explain why the Gorosei treat Imu like a holy figure. Thematically Sun god vs Sun god would fit perfectly. Since Joyboy and Imu already seem to be inversions
Didn’t even think about how this would explain why the Gorosei obey Imu to such a degree. Great point. They know Imu can literally end life as we know it. And Luffy may be risking the whole planet to beat Imu
IMU has some sort of Oracle fruit i think. Like a magnifying glass. Once awakened it can magnify anything it wants, so IMU magnifies the light coming from the sun and turns it LETHAL that will just vaporize everything.
Your theory fits the Japanese legend of the Taiko Drums. Imu like the Japanese Sun Goddess locked herself in a cave (Mariejois) until a Laughing individual came and played a drum. Once, at a time more distant than human memory, the storm god Susanowo-no-Mikoto left his home on the seas and began to ravage the land. His wild rages so upset his sister Ameterasu Ohmikami (the sun goddess) that she fled to a cave and, rolling a boulder over its entrance, vowed never to show herself again. The world fell into darkness and devils sprang from their hiding places to roam freely across the earth in its endless night. Knowing that all life was doomed without Ameterasu Ohmikami, the gods of heaven and earth gathered at the cave's mouth. They reasoned. They begged. They threatened. At last, they tried to force the rock from the cave's entrance but Ameterasu Ohmikami would not budge from her refuge. All creation seemed doomed. Until, Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto, a small goddess with a face creased by age and laughter, made her way into the midst of the other gods and declared that she would coax Ameterasu from the cave. The mightier gods looked at the old woman and sneered. Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto smiled back at them, poured out a huge sake barrel, jumped on its head, and began a wild dance. The loud, hard, frenetic pounding of her feet made a sound unlike any ever heard before. The rhythm was so lively, so infectious that soon the other gods, caught in Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto's revelry, began to dance and sing as well. Music filled the earth and the celebration became so raucous that Ameterasu Ohmikami peeked out from her cave and, seeing the joyful faces, brought her light to the earth again. Thus, Ameterasu Ohmikami's light returned to earth, Susanowo-no-Mikoto was banished, and taiko music was born.
Oh my god, this align so much with the Japanese Myth. I know this story but never thought the similarities until your point it out. -The Great Flood of the Void Century / the Wild Ravage Storm God Susanoo -The Sun Goddess Amaterasu hiding in the Cave / Imu hiding in the Mariejois -The Tale of Laughing Ame-no-Uzume (the Goddess of Dawn, Meditation, Dance and Art) that brought Amaterasu out of her hiding cave / Joy Boy and the Laugh Tale that force Imu out of his hiding place -Taiko Drum music was born from Ame-no-Uzume's dance and laugh / Zunesha proclaimed that it could hear the Drums of Liberation and that Joy Boy had returned in Chapter 1044 after Luffy awakening - Dawn of Liberation, Son God Nika who will liberate people and then there's Ame-no-Uzume, the Goddess of Dawn and her husband the Sarutahiko Okami who is also known as the Great Bright God or the Greatly Virtuous God in Shinto Liturgical text and is seen as a symbol of Misogi (Shinto Purification Ritual) , strength, guidance and the leader of the earthly kami (spirit or god). The founder of Aikido described Sarutahiko Okami as the God of Cosmic Life standing between Heaven and Earth, being one with the Universe, and so achieving peace with the world, being World Peace itself. Funfact, Ame-no-Uzume is known as Goddess of Dawn, Dance and Art because Kagura Dance and Noh Theater is believe by Shinto to be traced back to her and she has the ability to attract the attention of Sun Goddess Amaterasu through her dance that she was also called the Goddess of Dawn in the believe that if the world got dark once again, she can dance and laugh to attract the Sun Goddess to bring a new dawn to the world.
I imagine Kizaru is actually sporting the highest version of his fruit. What keeps it balanced in comparison to Akainu and Aoikiji is the fact that Kizaru is lazy, meaning he's unlikely to utilize its full potential. Being made of and moving at the speed of light is already more ridiculous than either the Magma or Ice powers used by the others. Imu having access to a weapon that utilizes the power of the sun makes more sense, and given all the imagery surrounding the sun already (including Nika's relation to it) having direct control of said weapon would likely give the individual incredible power. Enough to conquer an enemy and rewrite history as they see fit (which is what happened between the two Kingdoms in the past). It would also explain why he's holding on to the giant frozen hat, which is probably a symbol related to Joyboy and another method of holding on to that power (or keeping it out of the hands of others). Meanwhile, someone else learned of that symbol and created a miniature version that's been handed down through generations (Luffy's Straw Hat).
If it was Imu's eye that would be super creepy. A "true God" looking down passing judgement. I really like that idea. I personally believe that the Gorosei are the immortal royal guard of Imu. Each being on or even above "emperor level". I mean hell the one is literally carrying a sword these aren't the average inbred celestial dragons. You could even say it's Imu's crew if you think he/she is the space pirate king.
I think the fact that Imu is completely blacked out ties very well into this theory. What is the colour black if not the colour which absorbs and holds the most light? If you have a devilfruit which gains power from and controls the sun, wouldn’t it make sense to at least be clad in complete black so you get the most use out of it? Or perhaps the fruit itself makes the user completely black to kickstart that procedure. Something to think about!!
WOW!!! What a breath of fresh air you are to me and anyone from the OP community!! This all made more sense than a lot of jibberish from channels with high sub numbers. The trash they put out is ridiculous. Thank you for your time and I just subbed!!
You have no idea how happy this makes me!! Thank you for the motivation, it’s 3am here and I’m still up grinding out the next couple videos - there’s plenty more to come! ;) thanks for subbing
This is a top tier theory and gives credence to my "Imu is the original Joyboy" theory, the original joyboy that we are aware of is Nika and its ephithet "Sun God" was becuz he wanted to unite all races under the sun but Nika is more of a trickster god than anything but Imu is the true Sun God and got corrupt somewhere down the line in history, excellent breakdown and theory
I like this idea a lot, what is the connection then between “Joyboy” and the Gomu Gomu/Luffy? Was there another Joyboy that tried to dethrone Imu (who was the first joyboy)?
@@DaksSake remember when the gorosei was questioning professor clover back in robins flashback and clover discovered that the ancient kingdoms true name, well what if the true name of the ancient kingdom was maryjois that would probs make the Imu the original joyboy and Sun God, Imu won the war agaisnt the WG at the time and gaslighted history and subjugated them into thinking they had won, the 2nd joyboy Nika failed to overthrow Imu but manage to get pluton and made a pact to with king poseidon to reincarnate together with the mermaid princess come back to fufill his promise to her to bring the dawn when everything was in place to overcome Imu, Luffy is connected to the 2nd joyboy thru reincarnation however oda doesnt want to touch up on that but its implied via the sea kings dialouge when roger was getting a reading from young sharly
Imu being connected to all forms of light and being able to hear anything light touches is such a convincing point because how else do the world government have infinite intel on any location in the world. They know the goings on EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE… like there’s an omnipotent being on their side.
Hmmmm agreed this “Sun god” (Luffys)fruit isn’t using the sun at all , most likely just named after the famous figure of nika who just brough the “dawn” and seen as free and kind and warm like people depict the sun sometimes . Man Seeing Imus power if that was truly her , would make sense as far as the story as well , just me thinking like how strong would one have to be to literally take down joy boy and bring an end to a revolution and create an order (That stands) in this crazy world full of strong characters . Good theory ❗️❗️❗️
Imu might be one of the strongest villains in anime yet , (Maybe I’m just really excited) I hope this really is her power , just makes sense if it is , Oda is doing a great job of building her up . I wish I could just see who she is 💔💔💔
@@wuggey5686 I totally agree, and unlike some other antagonists in Shonen (don't wanna spoil you potentially) I think Oda is setting this up PERFECTLY. Even though Imu was not mentioned till chapter 900+, the themes have been set up all along for Imu to have powers like this so it doesn't feel out of nowhere like other manga... Also, check my False God Nika vid if you haven't - you and I are pretty much on the same page about Nika ;)
My theory about IMU is that its a devil fruit that takes over and possesses the host - replacing them. I think Luffy's mom is the current host - this is ultimately what sparked Dragon's rebellion and likely around the time Garp formed SWORD. I think IMU plans to hop over into VIVI next as it orchestrates a second VOID century to drown out the age of pirates, or, to hit a "reset button" on an unruly era.
@@PowerLord83 Pretty sure that's a misquote - Oda talked about Luffy's mom and how she'd look like a big hefty woman if we do see her in the story -- then we got Dadan...
What if the attack was the seraphim of Doflamingo on a sky/flying Island? The real one had an attack called 16 holy bullets - it looked really similar and being a seraphim would explain the Kizaru laserbeam type of attack and the number of light beams shown...
That is a realy interesting idea and makes more sense. I don't think Imu caused that by himself, if he would be that powerful than why did the World Goverment needed the Buster Call. Imu could have ended every enemy long ago. So this "lightbomb" seems to be a new weapon. Oda probably just tricked us by showing Imu right when it happend.
I have a theory about how the eyes are tied into immortality. It started from a real life trait called Limball eyes Aka DOUBLE RING Eyes and the myth behind them correlates them to “longevity”. Also the eyes or Horus/Ra and the fact that the characters Zunesha,Imu,Miihawk all have ties to immortality. Zunesha being a thousand year elephant, Miihawk and the Immortal Dracula, Imu having a name sounding like IMmortality and being foreshadowed by Sugar. Sugar wears a crown over a hood, has an ability to erase existences and MOST IMPORTANTLY doesn’t age. I also believe Imu is part of the three eye tribe and is also foreshadowed by Pudding, another character who can control memories which would ties into the void century. There’s more to this theory as well😏.
I believe it's an ultimate weapon created by Vegapunk. Why else would they be ready to kill him? They got the seraphim completed and an ultimate weapon. Vegapunk not needed anymore. Seraphim and pacifista use Kizaru light beams. It's very easy to believe he made a giant flying ship that fires the light beams as well.
The Japan Flag with sun rays is actually the flag of Imperial Japan, which would fit thematically with the nature of the World Government. Another thing is Lulusia could also be read as Rurusia (or Russia) which is interesting considering world events. World Government could also be an analogy of the Western World Order that has invaded, bombed and Sanctioned all countries they don’t like.
Unfortunately you're not the first to come up with the Ra theory. But I do like your sun theory. I would suggest he may have the sun sun fruit if not the water fruit. But I think you're wrong about this one. I believe the best part however is equating the 16 rays from ims attack and the 16 rays of the Japanese sun.
Dueling Sun gods frequently have to do with the conflict between Jupiter and Saturn, expansion and restriction. There's a lot of esoteric meaning there, also Mars and Venus which have correspondence with the same Jupiter Saturn energy duality.
Fact check me here, but I'm fairly certain Ra also removed one of their eyes to seek out someone and when the eye came back, it was already replaced so it was put on Ra's forehead as a third eye.
I googled it, and you're correct, and wouldn't you know Ra placated his first eye by turning it into an uraeus (dangerously close to uranus), which is the snake headdress you often see in their imagery
That is the National Treasure of Mariejois that Doffy mentioned. I think Uranus is the Nika/Joyboy because Luffy Gear 5th appearance kinda looks like a cloud/sky hence Uranus means sky and Uranus is the father of giants so the giant frozen stawhat that imu possessed might be from Joyboy/Nika. Uranus = Sky/ability to unify Poseidon = Ocean/ability to command sea kings (to pull Noah upwards with fishman inside) Pluton = Underworld/ could mean destruction and death And lastly planet Uranus looks like a strawhat, Uranus, Neptune aka Poseidon and Pluto(n) are all frozen planets.
to me the dark clouds and the shadow in the clouds signifies a dragon. since in wano it was said that dragons usually bring a storm with them and the shadow is clearly an entity of some kind
cool vid! i think imu could have some sort of star star fruit where they get energy from the stars or maybe even a reverse black hole type of ability, letting all light out instead of in!
Found your page today bro and really love the work you are doing! I think about the show very similarly in a lot of ways and I love hearing your thoughts as it relates to my own while have better reference to things from the entire manga/anime that you go back and tether to the story. Good job, keep it up. One thing though is I feel punked by the Stephen A. References all the time. Hilarious 😂
So there is a second Egyptian sun god called Aten, it looks like the attack (literally) and was recently discovered in a city wiped from history by a pharaoh
Why do you talk about things you know nothing about as though you were the authority here? Aren’t wasn’t another sun god … Aten is the literal sun itself.
why is it you think that roger didn't find pluton? he's had many ties to wano and he spent a long time with oden. also odens dad new pluton was underneath wano so the chances that oden new this too are likely high.
Shiki said that quote during the Edd War, which was 1 year before Roger met Oden, so he couldn’t have read the Alabasta glyph or been told about Pluton’s location yet! The only way he would know is if King Cobra told him or something. But I think it’s safe to say the egg was Uranus :)
Most eye change occurrences are modes attained from Devil fruit consumption, Imu's Devil fruit made him immortal reason and example his eyes resemble Luffys when he transforms into his zoan Devil fruit model Nika form
Well you called the "light" based attack counter, in chapter 1062 Vegapunk created those hologram/light attacking gloves. You have the best theories lol
You are a goat after that one piece theory. I think that's actually where the one piece is. Simply because when Roger reached laugh tale he had to sail the sea again to reach long ring. Maybe Roger laughed because he had already been to where the one piece was. So it was unbelievable that he passed it up to him. I also wonder who told Roger about one piece
yo love your theory's ! just wanted to add what IF the fruit foxy used was actualy created by vega punk as a result of one of his experiments to fight back imu that would be a great foreshadowing just like oda loves them!
You mention that Im has been using this power for the last 800 years, ever since the Void Century. However, the implication that I got was that this power was indeed used before (in or shortly after the Void Century, likely at what is now Enies Lobby), but has not been used since until now because the power source needed to use it no longer existed, so it couldn't be used again until Vegapunk was able to create a suitable alternative in the Mother Flame. After all, if Im could wipe out an island at will like this any time he wants, then why would Buster Calls even need to exist? Why wouldn't he have used this power on Ohara when they threatened to reveal the truth of the ancient kingdom? If this is Im's own power (either natural or from a Devil Fruit), then I see now reason NOT to have used it on Ohara. If, however, this power is technological and didn't have a functional power source until the recent creation of the Mother Flame, then there is suddenly a plausible reason to rely on the Marines to destroy Ohara with a Buster Call.
Just found your channel! This a great theory I hope it come true. Here my theory. I think that Uranus! and it's a space ship. 1) What happen to the space ship once it landed on blue wonder? - I don't believe this ship stay in marigeore. - How about eneie lobby the nightless island? -- We don't know about the status of EL. if it still in ruin this will make it easier for Uranus to move. While watch your video I had a though about the movie called stargate ---What if Imu was to transfer his/her mind into Vivi's body
THANK YOU! I love your detailed reply. Its fun for me to answer :) I agree with you, Uranus is a "space ship", but much like the Pluton Mole, I think its a living thing that can take you to Sky Islands/the Moon! I cant say too much because thats a future video ;) And yeah, Enies Lobby has to be from either a past Imu attack or an awakening from a past Kizaru fruit user. But if its day time - which involves the Sun... Maybe EL is just where God Valley was? And as for the last part, that's a scary thought. I think Imu captured Vivi just so Uranus can't be used since Vivi controls Uranus (but those powers are completely separate from Imu's attack in 1060).
Considering Imu could be a reference to Aten I believe IM has an interest in Blackbeard because they either have the mythical Pig zoan the Buta Buta No Mi Model Ammit or the cow Zoan Ushi-Ushi no mi model Ammit. This mythical creature hits most speculations on the Blackbeard checklist Blackbeard having multiple souls eating hearts to gain powers as the mythical creature eats souls of creatures by eating hearts and the torso of the creature is that of a hippo the animal BB is. The Ammit is feared by all egyptians from the commoner to royalty which is why Imu has their eye on Marshall.
Great theory. One thing i wanna add is that this power is probably the same used on god valley incident since oda likes to make these connections, "Never existed".
I would say imu is some1 from alabasta history. King cobra knows about him that is why he and vivi are dead or missing. Another theory could be imu is king cobra that faked his dead and blame it on sabo and kept vivi in his protection but i highly doubt it. The reason is when he looked at vivi poster is like when some1 told him that vivi is looking for marriage so he should be some1 who interested in vivi and wanted to mary her. We should look thru all alabasta chapter to find hint about him. For his power, i believe this is pluton copy not uranus.
It's not a Pluton copy. Only Tom and Franky had plans to that or at least a counter. Pluton is based on the God of the Underworld while Uranus is god of the Sky. It makes more sense to be Uranus then Pluton or a copy of it
Maybe imu is nature since umi means ocean and he has trees in his palace, and that's why he hates the devil fruits because they are unnatural. It explains the clouds, but vegapunk talked about a star source of some energy that he could build
Imu is actually the “worlds-saviour” but created the world govt after the war of the void century as they believed humanity couldn’t be trusted. Luffy’s fruit is one of freedom, of course it would foil light, and its symbolism of surveillance.
Came here from your afro theory, love all of your theories. Keep up the good work 👍 Do you think imu's power might have something to do with enies lobby and how it's always day there, maybe her power changed it? Are you planning on doing a theory on why there is a hole there? I don't know, I always had the feeling that hole is going to be important
no, his power is not just rubber and awakening his fruit doesnt just make everything else rubbery. thats a small consequence of his power. his power is basically the mask with jim carry. everything becomes loony and cartoonified and his power becomes limited to his imagination. he can literally do anything he can think up practically
A Prism, or a Color Fruit based Devil Fruit. Something let lets him break down "light" into "color" and effect the world around through that. Including some unusual types of Slow Light or the Colors Of Haki, or even the "color" or Darkness. if the motif carries.
The Raigou sphere remained dark because it was compressed Thunderclouds rather than being pure lightning. What shot these beams thus most likely was some sort of object or entity,, hence casting the shadow first before releasing that light-based attack. I also doubt that Imu's power is a superior version of Kizaru's fruit. With the 3 original Admirals being peers, I would assume their fruits are also peers, which was confirmed in Akainu vs. Aokiji. And with both Akainu and Aokiji having superior fruits to the likes of the Flame Flame fruit, which in itself is quite the top tier fruit, a fruit superior to Kizaru's would be to overpowered, especially given we haven't seen Kizaru's awakening yet. Realistically speaking, Kizaru would far outclass everyone in the world, because a kick even near the speed of light could instantly nuke countries. So since Kizaru's fruit already is heavily nerfed, what point would there be to introduce an even stronger version, which would be nerfed even more?
Btw for those who don't know Im means "god" in ancient phoenician language while Inm means "goddess" so according to that and if it is as deep as i think Im is actually a god not a godess . You could theorize from that if u want.
Your theory seems more then plausible. Imu must posess the most terrifying power that we have yet seen. Being able to see everything and to destroy a whole island within a blink of an eye is crazy, almost godlike. I hope One Piece will keep that as the maximum and will not be like Naruto at the end with completely overpowered characters.
Not sure if the epic part in Wano when Big Mom asked Luffy why the thunder wouldn’t hurt him, Luffy answered ‘I’m Rubber’ was shadowing Luffy would stand a winning chance to fight with Imu.
My guess is that a fruit like this would be a logia called the Koshi Koshi no mi or the Parti-Parti fruit, it allows the user to turn into and manipulate Particles of any kind, light, slow-slow, nuclear, any kind so long as they count as particles
Maybe his species can eat more than 1 devil fruit and not die, ay, ay? Also, I think the reason his lightning is so straight is because he’s had like 800 years to learn how to control that power.
*First glimpse show up information of the Devil Fruits origin begin...* She might be really Dr Vegapunk *but* also *not* the *"true original one."* Her shirt say *"Punk 02,"* so there might be *"01"* and the *original "00"* I guess? The island is *"Egg-Head Island of the Future/500 years in the Future,"* and in one silhouette of Dr Vegapunk, *"his head is very long shaped just like an Egg itself."* This *Might* be *his daughter.* A *cyborg/clone* some kind of *servant assistant* but *sharing his will and intelligence.* Had *some terrible accident* that forced to *rebuild himself.* (Or Vegapunk was *"she/girl"* all along but was referred as *"an old man."* So *Yamato 2.0....)* Or he's just *too old* and possibly physically dead *"but he have transferred his consciousness to this body"... But I wonder "why he wants to be a Waifu anime girl"...* I guess *Imu-Sama might possibly be that "Sea Devil"* (or *"One of the Devil Fruits Creators") the story hinting indicating talking about all along.....*
imu could be a 3 eyed person and using uranus controlling it via the third eye ....there has to be a bigger purpose of introducing and hinting at the power of 3 eyed people....also its most likely true that each ancient weapon has a controller so imu controller using uranus the ancient weapon to eye beam islands
Imu was Joyboy way before. But somehow died, after he reborn he is Imu and changed his side because? We dont know and after that he didnt got his DF since then , he is chasing it.
Maybe when Imu and the Lunarians arrived on the planet, Pluton was their mothership. Imu used and still uses that mothership. The shadow in the sky looks a lot like a UFO shape. We've seen floating islands like Skypeia and Egghead, but nobody ever explained why they float. Pluton may be the most important of the floating islands, which are all secretly spaceships used by the Lunarians, and explains the present natives' wings. We know the Lunarians are the Ancient Kingdom, so maybe when they arrived, at first they shared their technology and tried to co-exist with everyone. Then Imu learned of human's lust for power, their weapons, their greed, and turned their technology into a fire-based weapon. By weaponizing a spaceship, Imu harnesses the fire of the Sun to erase defectors from the map. I don't think Imu is a God who sends holy destruction from any distance.. I think Imu is flying on a ship that goes by the name Pluton, and resembles a sky island. The destructive power is just a magnifying lens that opens like an eye to release the Sun's fury. I bet there's a 'Sun God' who isn't going to like hearing this.
That would be such a twist and explain why the Gorosei treat Imu like a holy figure. Thematically Sun god vs Sun god would fit perfectly. Since Joyboy and Imu already seem to be inversions
I love this video to i think you should give this channel a shoutout or promotion in your next video
Didn’t even think about how this would explain why the Gorosei obey Imu to such a degree. Great point. They know Imu can literally end life as we know it. And Luffy may be risking the whole planet to beat Imu
We should also take into consideration that the fire luffy manifests could be from his haki and manipulating it into fire
@@jonpitre9224 elemental haki !
It won't be Sun God vs Sun God
It will be Sun vs Sun God
IMU has some sort of Oracle fruit i think. Like a magnifying glass. Once awakened it can magnify anything it wants, so IMU magnifies the light coming from the sun and turns it LETHAL that will just vaporize everything.
That sounds possible
Your theory fits the Japanese legend of the Taiko Drums. Imu like the Japanese Sun Goddess locked herself in a cave (Mariejois) until a Laughing individual came and played a drum.
Once, at a time more distant than human memory, the storm god Susanowo-no-Mikoto left his home on the seas and began to ravage the land. His wild rages so upset his sister Ameterasu Ohmikami (the sun goddess) that she fled to a cave and, rolling a boulder over its entrance, vowed never to show herself again.
The world fell into darkness and devils sprang from their hiding places to roam freely across the earth in its endless night. Knowing that all life was doomed without Ameterasu Ohmikami, the gods of heaven and earth gathered at the cave's mouth. They reasoned. They begged. They threatened. At last, they tried to force the rock from the cave's entrance but Ameterasu Ohmikami would not budge from her refuge. All creation seemed doomed.
Until, Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto, a small goddess with a face creased by age and laughter, made her way into the midst of the other gods and declared that she would coax Ameterasu from the cave. The mightier gods looked at the old woman and sneered. Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto smiled back at them, poured out a huge sake barrel, jumped on its head, and began a wild dance.
The loud, hard, frenetic pounding of her feet made a sound unlike any ever heard before. The rhythm was so lively, so infectious that soon the other gods, caught in Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto's revelry, began to dance and sing as well. Music filled the earth and the celebration became so raucous that Ameterasu Ohmikami peeked out from her cave and, seeing the joyful faces, brought her light to the earth again. Thus, Ameterasu Ohmikami's light returned to earth, Susanowo-no-Mikoto was banished, and taiko music was born.
That’s a lot of Naruto attacks that make sense now
woah
man wrote a whole essay
as a mexican i would've never been able to have known this, thanks for the story and possible theory!
Oh my god, this align so much with the Japanese Myth. I know this story but never thought the similarities until your point it out.
-The Great Flood of the Void Century / the Wild Ravage Storm God Susanoo
-The Sun Goddess Amaterasu hiding in the Cave / Imu hiding in the Mariejois
-The Tale of Laughing Ame-no-Uzume (the Goddess of Dawn, Meditation, Dance and Art) that brought Amaterasu out of her hiding cave / Joy Boy and the Laugh Tale that force Imu out of his hiding place
-Taiko Drum music was born from Ame-no-Uzume's dance and laugh / Zunesha proclaimed that it could hear the Drums of Liberation and that Joy Boy had returned in Chapter 1044 after Luffy awakening
- Dawn of Liberation, Son God Nika who will liberate people and then there's Ame-no-Uzume, the Goddess of Dawn and her husband the Sarutahiko Okami who is also known as the Great Bright God or the Greatly Virtuous God in Shinto Liturgical text and is seen as a symbol of Misogi (Shinto Purification Ritual) , strength, guidance and the leader of the earthly kami (spirit or god). The founder of Aikido described Sarutahiko Okami as the God of Cosmic Life standing between Heaven and Earth, being one with the Universe, and so achieving peace with the world, being World Peace itself.
Funfact, Ame-no-Uzume is known as Goddess of Dawn, Dance and Art because Kagura Dance and Noh Theater is believe by Shinto to be traced back to her and she has the ability to attract the attention of Sun Goddess Amaterasu through her dance that she was also called the Goddess of Dawn in the believe that if the world got dark once again, she can dance and laugh to attract the Sun Goddess to bring a new dawn to the world.
I imagine Kizaru is actually sporting the highest version of his fruit.

Enough to conquer an enemy and rewrite history as they see fit (which is what happened between the two Kingdoms in the past).
It would also explain why he's holding on to the giant frozen hat, which is probably a symbol related to Joyboy and another method of holding on to that power (or keeping it out of the hands of others). Meanwhile, someone else learned of that symbol and created a miniature version that's been handed down through generations (Luffy's Straw Hat).
kizaru got the "baby light fruit"...i don't even wanna think about how strong imu is
That thumbnail is a banger
D4nartss is a magician
That thumbnail made me click on this video!
If it was Imu's eye that would be super creepy. A "true God" looking down passing judgement.
I really like that idea. I personally believe that the Gorosei are the immortal royal guard of Imu. Each being on or even above "emperor level". I mean hell the one is literally carrying a sword these aren't the average inbred celestial dragons. You could even say it's Imu's crew if you think he/she is the space pirate king.
I think the fact that Imu is completely blacked out ties very well into this theory. What is the colour black if not the colour which absorbs and holds the most light?

This is a top tier theory and gives credence to my "Imu is the original Joyboy" theory, the original joyboy that we are aware of is Nika and its ephithet "Sun God" was becuz he wanted to unite all races under the sun but Nika is more of a trickster god than anything but Imu is the true Sun God and got corrupt somewhere down the line in history, excellent breakdown and theory
I like this idea a lot, what is the connection then between “Joyboy” and the Gomu Gomu/Luffy? Was there another Joyboy that tried to dethrone Imu (who was the first joyboy)?
@@DaksSake remember when the gorosei was questioning professor clover back in robins flashback and clover discovered that the ancient kingdoms true name, well what if the true name of the ancient kingdom was maryjois that would probs make the Imu the original joyboy and Sun God, Imu won the war agaisnt the WG at the time and gaslighted history and subjugated them into thinking they had won, the 2nd joyboy Nika failed to overthrow Imu but manage to get pluton and made a pact to with king poseidon to reincarnate together with the mermaid princess come back to fufill his promise to her to bring the dawn when everything was in place to overcome Imu, Luffy is connected to the 2nd joyboy thru reincarnation however oda doesnt want to touch up on that but its implied via the sea kings dialouge when roger was getting a reading from young sharly
Imu being connected to all forms of light and being able to hear anything light touches is such a convincing point because how else do the world government have infinite intel on any location in the world. They know the goings on EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE… like there’s an omnipotent being on their side.
Eye of Ra = Goddess = Woman = Imu.. and it would be crazy if Imu had another model of hito hito fruit. Hito Hito no mi, model Sun God Ra.
Hmmmm agreed this “Sun god” (Luffys)fruit isn’t using the sun at all , most likely just named after the famous figure of nika who just brough the “dawn” and seen as free and kind and warm like people depict the sun sometimes . Man Seeing Imus power if that was truly her , would make sense as far as the story as well , just me thinking like how strong would one have to be to literally take down joy boy and bring an end to a revolution and create an order (That stands) in this crazy world full of strong characters . Good theory ❗️❗️❗️
Imu might be one of the strongest villains in anime yet , (Maybe I’m just really excited) I hope this really is her power , just makes sense if it is , Oda is doing a great job of building her up . I wish I could just see who she is 💔💔💔
@@wuggey5686 I totally agree, and unlike some other antagonists in Shonen (don't wanna spoil you potentially) I think Oda is setting this up PERFECTLY. Even though Imu was not mentioned till chapter 900+, the themes have been set up all along for Imu to have powers like this so it doesn't feel out of nowhere like other manga... Also, check my False God Nika vid if you haven't - you and I are pretty much on the same page about Nika ;)
@@wuggey5686 Why assume Imu is a her? There’s literally no reason to assume that.
@@GourSmith I think it’s because Imu is a Japanese female name.
@@wuggey5686I love how everyone assumes Emu's a woman dispite never seeing them.
My theory about IMU is that its a devil fruit that takes over and possesses the host - replacing them. I think Luffy's mom is the current host - this is ultimately what sparked Dragon's rebellion and likely around the time Garp formed SWORD. I think IMU plans to hop over into VIVI next as it orchestrates a second VOID century to drown out the age of pirates, or, to hit a "reset button" on an unruly era.
This sounds a fresh idea, excited to see how things turn out!
Would be a good theory, but Oda said Luffys mom already have been shown and this was before Imu was revealed
@@PowerLord83 Pretty sure that's a misquote - Oda talked about Luffy's mom and how she'd look like a big hefty woman if we do see her in the story -- then we got Dadan...
@@ReelJV im hoping he meant like rebecca or boa or shirashoshi they tall af
Most underrated theorist in the game rn, good shit oml
My guy! That means a lot to hear… more 🔥🔥 comin soon
What if the attack was the seraphim of Doflamingo on a sky/flying Island? The real one had an attack called 16 holy bullets - it looked really similar and being a seraphim would explain the Kizaru laserbeam type of attack and the number of light beams shown...
That is a realy interesting idea and makes more sense. I don't think Imu caused that by himself, if he would be that powerful than why did the World Goverment needed the Buster Call. Imu could have ended every enemy long ago. So this "lightbomb" seems to be a new weapon. Oda probably just tricked us by showing Imu right when it happend.
Imagine kizaru is imu’s avatar in the world because he is just bored in the throne room
that could also explain kizaru being lazy, never being worried, and not striving for a higher rank
I have a theory about how the eyes are tied into immortality. It started from a real life trait called Limball eyes Aka DOUBLE RING Eyes and the myth behind them correlates them to “longevity”. Also the eyes or Horus/Ra and the fact that the characters Zunesha,Imu,Miihawk all have ties to immortality. Zunesha being a thousand year elephant, Miihawk and the Immortal Dracula, Imu having a name sounding like IMmortality and being foreshadowed by Sugar. Sugar wears a crown over a hood, has an ability to erase existences and MOST IMPORTANTLY doesn’t age. I also believe Imu is part of the three eye tribe and is also foreshadowed by Pudding, another character who can control memories which would ties into the void century. There’s more to this theory as well😏.
Imu is clearly an Otsutsuki on a different planet using dojutsu cause it’s in the same Naruverse
I cant belive i have never hear nobody talk abaut THE STRAWHAT HAT OF IMU SERVANT (the scene in the garden)
I believe it's an ultimate weapon created by Vegapunk. Why else would they be ready to kill him? They got the seraphim completed and an ultimate weapon. Vegapunk not needed anymore. Seraphim and pacifista use Kizaru light beams. It's very easy to believe he made a giant flying ship that fires the light beams as well.
I would personally believe that this weapon that Imu used to wipe that island out was the same weapon that he used to wipe out God Valley.
I think it would be more interesting if Imu is the moon god reflecting and controlling everything light touches
The Japan Flag with sun rays is actually the flag of Imperial Japan, which would fit thematically with the nature of the World Government. Another thing is Lulusia could also be read as Rurusia (or Russia) which is interesting considering world events. World Government could also be an analogy of the Western World Order that has invaded, bombed and Sanctioned all countries they don’t like.
So hyped for this one, thumbnail is epic 🔥
5:40 the dark shadow is the big strawhat
Unfortunately you're not the first to come up with the Ra theory. But I do like your sun theory. I would suggest he may have the sun sun fruit if not the water fruit. But I think you're wrong about this one. I believe the best part however is equating the 16 rays from ims attack and the 16 rays of the Japanese sun.
Dueling Sun gods frequently have to do with the conflict between Jupiter and Saturn, expansion and restriction. There's a lot of esoteric meaning there, also Mars and Venus which have correspondence with the same Jupiter Saturn energy duality.
Fact check me here, but I'm fairly certain Ra also removed one of their eyes to seek out someone and when the eye came back, it was already replaced so it was put on Ra's forehead as a third eye.
I googled it, and you're correct, and wouldn't you know Ra placated his first eye by turning it into an uraeus (dangerously close to uranus), which is the snake headdress you often see in their imagery
@@DaksSake Nice! 👍👍 I didn't know the uraeus part. Your video may be alot more on point than originally thought! Well done
That is the National Treasure of Mariejois that Doffy mentioned. I think Uranus is the Nika/Joyboy because Luffy Gear 5th appearance kinda looks like a cloud/sky hence Uranus means sky and Uranus is the father of giants so the giant frozen stawhat that imu possessed might be from Joyboy/Nika.
Uranus = Sky/ability to unify
Poseidon = Ocean/ability to command sea kings (to pull Noah upwards with fishman inside)
Pluton = Underworld/ could mean destruction and death
And lastly planet Uranus looks like a strawhat, Uranus, Neptune aka Poseidon and Pluto(n) are all frozen planets.
I think debunked with 1086 and the “mother flame” but idk for sure
to me the dark clouds and the shadow in the clouds signifies a dragon. since in wano it was said that dragons usually bring a storm with them and the shadow is clearly an entity of some kind
also ya know hes literally a celestial dragon
I feel like it's an ancient weapon, and it would all tie around to devil fruits vs ancient weapons.
cool vid! i think imu could have some sort of star star fruit where they get energy from the stars or maybe even a reverse black hole type of ability, letting all light out instead of in!
Found your page today bro and really love the work you are doing! I think about the show very similarly in a lot of ways and I love hearing your thoughts as it relates to my own while have better reference to things from the entire manga/anime that you go back and tether to the story. Good job, keep it up. One thing though is I feel punked by the Stephen A. References all the time. Hilarious 😂
24:05 Photon Gloves made by Vegapunk as shown in Chapter 1062
So there is a second Egyptian sun god called Aten, it looks like the attack (literally) and was recently discovered in a city wiped from history by a pharaoh
Why do you talk about things you know nothing about as though you were the authority here? Aren’t wasn’t another sun god … Aten is the literal sun itself.
I love the thumbnail because it’s what I thought Imu actually did
why is it you think that roger didn't find pluton? he's had many ties to wano and he spent a long time with oden. also odens dad new pluton was underneath wano so the chances that oden new this too are likely high.
Shiki said that quote during the Edd War, which was 1 year before Roger met Oden, so he couldn’t have read the Alabasta glyph or been told about Pluton’s location yet! The only way he would know is if King Cobra told him or something. But I think it’s safe to say the egg was Uranus :)
@@DaksSake oh thanks yeah you're probably right then I see
Subbed for the kind clarification 👍
@@dastard12 I appreciate you very much! You asked a good question. I will make sure to be even more thorough in future vids now too ;)
Most eye change occurrences are modes attained from Devil fruit consumption, Imu's Devil fruit made him immortal reason and example his eyes resemble Luffys when he transforms into his zoan Devil fruit model Nika form
Be interesting if what Imu is using has a charge of 800 years.
Well you called the "light" based attack counter, in chapter 1062 Vegapunk created those hologram/light attacking gloves. You have the best theories lol
You are a goat after that one piece theory. I think that's actually where the one piece is. Simply because when Roger reached laugh tale he had to sail the sea again to reach long ring. Maybe Roger laughed because he had already been to where the one piece was. So it was unbelievable that he passed it up to him. I also wonder who told Roger about one piece
Lovee this theory its actually believable n not sum far fetched I think you hit the nail on the head with this one!
yo love your theory's ! just wanted to add what IF the fruit foxy used was actualy created by vega punk as a result of one of his experiments to fight back imu that would be a great foreshadowing just like oda loves them!
Imu is prolly holding the Gorosei hostage lol
Imunatti
Solid video!
You mention that Im has been using this power for the last 800 years, ever since the Void Century. However, the implication that I got was that this power was indeed used before (in or shortly after the Void Century, likely at what is now Enies Lobby), but has not been used since until now because the power source needed to use it no longer existed, so it couldn't be used again until Vegapunk was able to create a suitable alternative in the Mother Flame. After all, if Im could wipe out an island at will like this any time he wants, then why would Buster Calls even need to exist? Why wouldn't he have used this power on Ohara when they threatened to reveal the truth of the ancient kingdom? If this is Im's own power (either natural or from a Devil Fruit), then I see now reason NOT to have used it on Ohara. If, however, this power is technological and didn't have a functional power source until the recent creation of the Mother Flame, then there is suddenly a plausible reason to rely on the Marines to destroy Ohara with a Buster Call.
Just found your channel! This a great theory I hope it come true.
Here my theory. I think that Uranus! and it's a space ship.
1) What happen to the space ship once it landed on blue wonder?
- I don't believe this ship stay in marigeore.
- How about eneie lobby the nightless island?
-- We don't know about the status of EL. if it still in ruin this will make it easier for Uranus to move.
While watch your video I had a though about the movie called stargate
---What if Imu was to transfer his/her mind into Vivi's body
THANK YOU! I love your detailed reply. Its fun for me to answer :)
I agree with you, Uranus is a "space ship", but much like the Pluton Mole, I think its a living thing that can take you to Sky Islands/the Moon! I cant say too much because thats a future video ;)
And yeah, Enies Lobby has to be from either a past Imu attack or an awakening from a past Kizaru fruit user. But if its day time - which involves the Sun... Maybe EL is just where God Valley was?
And as for the last part, that's a scary thought. I think Imu captured Vivi just so Uranus can't be used since Vivi controls Uranus (but those powers are completely separate from Imu's attack in 1060).
Considering Imu could be a reference to Aten I believe IM has an interest in Blackbeard because they either have the mythical Pig zoan the Buta Buta No Mi Model Ammit or the cow Zoan Ushi-Ushi no mi model Ammit.
This mythical creature hits most speculations on the Blackbeard checklist Blackbeard having multiple souls eating hearts to gain powers as the mythical creature eats souls of creatures by eating hearts and the torso of the creature is that of a hippo the animal BB is. The Ammit is feared by all egyptians from the commoner to royalty which is why Imu has their eye on Marshall.
Basically luffy can do whatever he believes, like he can fly by using the "power of elasticity" in gear 4, which is kinda impossible
Great theory. One thing i wanna add is that this power is probably the same used on god valley incident since oda likes to make these connections, "Never existed".
I would say imu is some1 from alabasta history. King cobra knows about him that is why he and vivi are dead or missing. Another theory could be imu is king cobra that faked his dead and blame it on sabo and kept vivi in his protection but i highly doubt it. The reason is when he looked at vivi poster is like when some1 told him that vivi is looking for marriage so he should be some1 who interested in vivi and wanted to mary her. We should look thru all alabasta chapter to find hint about him. For his power, i believe this is pluton copy not uranus.
It's not a Pluton copy. Only Tom and Franky had plans to that or at least a counter. Pluton is based on the God of the Underworld while Uranus is god of the Sky. It makes more sense to be Uranus then Pluton or a copy of it
Maybe imu is nature since umi means ocean and he has trees in his palace, and that's why he hates the devil fruits because they are unnatural. It explains the clouds, but vegapunk talked about a star source of some energy that he could build
Love these ideas and the Ra stuff, great video
I appreciate you mucho! I know I sound like a broken record at this point but I'm watching your video ASAP now that this finally out lol!
Imu is actually the “worlds-saviour” but created the world govt after the war of the void century as they believed humanity couldn’t be trusted. Luffy’s fruit is one of freedom, of course it would foil light, and its symbolism of surveillance.
ANOTHER AMAZING THEORY , your very perceptive 😎🤝
Its da powaaa of ILLuminati eyes...
Ohhhhh yeeaaaa this definitely gonna be a banger
LAW !! Appreciate you watching my guy ✊🏼
Came here from your afro theory, love all of your theories. Keep up the good work 👍 Do you think imu's power might have something to do with enies lobby and how it's always day there, maybe her power changed it? Are you planning on doing a theory on why there is a hole there? I don't know, I always had the feeling that hole is going to be important
U should be famous.. Nice work
One day, brother… one step at a time for now! I appreciate your support 😤😤
Love the vids
In the most recent chapter it’s revealed that vegapunk has created technology which allows him to punch light (Ch 1062)
And then we see that CP0 wants to take him out… COINCIDENCE ??
no, his power is not just rubber and awakening his fruit doesnt just make everything else rubbery. thats a small consequence of his power. his power is basically the mask with jim carry. everything becomes loony and cartoonified and his power becomes limited to his imagination. he can literally do anything he can think up practically
Or in other words, instead of just stretching his body he's stretching reality itself?
Toon force
A Prism, or a Color Fruit based Devil Fruit. Something let lets him break down "light" into "color" and effect the world around through that. Including some unusual types of Slow Light or the Colors Of Haki, or even the "color" or Darkness. if the motif carries.
10:15 that would explain why black beard needed that blanket over white beard
The Raigou sphere remained dark because it was compressed Thunderclouds rather than being pure lightning. What shot these beams thus most likely was some sort of object or entity,, hence casting the shadow first before releasing that light-based attack. I also doubt that Imu's power is a superior version of Kizaru's fruit. With the 3 original Admirals being peers, I would assume their fruits are also peers, which was confirmed in Akainu vs. Aokiji. And with both Akainu and Aokiji having superior fruits to the likes of the Flame Flame fruit, which in itself is quite the top tier fruit, a fruit superior to Kizaru's would be to overpowered, especially given we haven't seen Kizaru's awakening yet. Realistically speaking, Kizaru would far outclass everyone in the world, because a kick even near the speed of light could instantly nuke countries. So since Kizaru's fruit already is heavily nerfed, what point would there be to introduce an even stronger version, which would be nerfed even more?
I think Luffy is Ra
Bro Enel and Foxy's fruits are definitely other model's of the light fruits
Btw for those who don't know Im means "god" in ancient phoenician language while Inm means "goddess" so according to that and if it is as deep as i think Im is actually a god not a godess . You could theorize from that if u want.
This mans videos is tough
Sometimes I think you have insider information, just makes too much sense. Can’t wait for the chapter tonight
👁
Your theory seems more then plausible. Imu must posess the most terrifying power that we have yet seen. Being able to see everything and to destroy a whole island within a blink of an eye is crazy, almost godlike. I hope One Piece will keep that as the maximum and will not be like Naruto at the end with completely overpowered characters.
I remember seeing a old hypekage theory where he said imu had the sun sun fruit this is all adding up
Really cool vids
I appreciate you thank you
light will be at the center of the explanation of how devil fruit work imo
Foxy always appear before a great arc. You said this, and he will come back for the final fight hahaha
Not sure if the epic part in Wano when Big Mom asked Luffy why the thunder wouldn’t hurt him, Luffy answered ‘I’m Rubber’ was shadowing Luffy would stand a winning chance to fight with Imu.
Lightning and Light are two different things
Imus real devil fruit probably is the cartoon devil like the one in cartoons old ones
My guess is that a fruit like this would be a logia called the Koshi Koshi no mi or the Parti-Parti fruit, it allows the user to turn into and manipulate Particles of any kind, light, slow-slow, nuclear, any kind so long as they count as particles
Hey did u all remember when luffy was goin to executed the same shit happened but in small one lightning same the clouds getting black same lightning
He's using one of the ancient weapons it's pretty fuckin obvious
I think it’s a giant straw hat I mean the shape of the dark cloud looks like a straw hat
I believed the davy back fight plot will make a resurgence somehow...

Luffys fruit is only limited by imagination
They destroyed all other islands that didn’t stand with them and erased them
I think what imu erased is transported to the moon.
Dude is long range and can charge up in advance.
He constantly preparing an attack.
Maybe his species can eat more than 1 devil fruit and not die, ay, ay? Also, I think the reason his lightning is so straight is because he’s had like 800 years to learn how to control that power.
The video art remind me and fitting the Illuminati a lot Lol
*First glimpse show up information of the Devil Fruits origin begin...* She might be really Dr Vegapunk *but* also *not* the *"true original one."* Her shirt say *"Punk 02,"* so there might be *"01"* and the *original "00"* I guess? The island is *"Egg-Head Island of the Future/500 years in the Future,"* and in one silhouette of Dr Vegapunk, *"his head is very long shaped just like an Egg itself."* This *Might* be *his daughter.* A *cyborg/clone* some kind of *servant assistant* but *sharing his will and intelligence.* Had *some terrible accident* that forced to *rebuild himself.* (Or Vegapunk was *"she/girl"* all along but was referred as *"an old man."* So *Yamato 2.0....)* Or he's just *too old* and possibly physically dead *"but he have transferred his consciousness to this body"... But I wonder "why he wants to be a Waifu anime girl"...* I guess *Imu-Sama might possibly be that "Sea Devil"* (or *"One of the Devil Fruits Creators") the story hinting indicating talking about all along.....*
imu could be a 3 eyed person and using uranus controlling it via the third eye ....there has to be a bigger purpose of introducing and hinting at the power of 3 eyed people....also its most likely true that each ancient weapon has a controller so imu controller using uranus the ancient weapon to eye beam islands
Nika can alter reality. If that isnt a godlike ability idk what is.
Joy boy was a farmer, he may have also been the one to create devil fruits
What if Emu can control air? Thus explaining why the holes remain using air pressure.
mihawks eyes were also red in the manga but was switched in the anime to better fit the character
Imu was Joyboy way before. But somehow died, after he reborn he is Imu and changed his side because? We dont know and after that he didnt got his DF since then , he is chasing it.
But now he has some other power
No
Maybe when Imu and the Lunarians arrived on the planet, Pluton was their mothership. Imu used and still uses that mothership. The shadow in the sky looks a lot like a UFO shape. We've seen floating islands like Skypeia and Egghead, but nobody ever explained why they float. Pluton may be the most important of the floating islands, which are all secretly spaceships used by the Lunarians, and explains the present natives' wings. We know the Lunarians are the Ancient Kingdom, so maybe when they arrived, at first they shared their technology and tried to co-exist with everyone. Then Imu learned of human's lust for power, their weapons, their greed, and turned their technology into a fire-based weapon. By weaponizing a spaceship, Imu harnesses the fire of the Sun to erase defectors from the map. I don't think Imu is a God who sends holy destruction from any distance.. I think Imu is flying on a ship that goes by the name Pluton, and resembles a sky island. The destructive power is just a magnifying lens that opens like an eye to release the Sun's fury. I bet there's a 'Sun God' who isn't going to like hearing this.
It looks more like a wavy triangle to me anyway, but this is a cool theory. Im under the impression that imu is controlling uranus or is it themselves
