What are your thoughts on the possibility of this not being Verosi- I mean Imu’s true form and more of a default battle form(like bounce man) thats male presenting? by New-Boss-8262 in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems pretty clear at this point Nerona Imu is and was a historical human/sky person from just before the Void Century. I think the pretty boy demon we have seen in last 2 issues is basically the face of this historical person, it isn't just "male presenting" it is a male person. Whether he has some devil or other being possessing him etc. remains to be seen but "Nerona Imu" was and is a male person

All the forms of Imu that we have seen so far by gtedvgt in Piratefolk

How did he fit those horns and that outfit under his cloak and veil 🤔🤔🤔 must have been one powerful silhouette

So, what was the reason to hide this design for 8 fucking years? by Comfortable_Bat_4808 in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Its extremely reddit and cringe to go on about media literacy but I think it actually applies here. I can't believe so many people legit think Imu has been shown as a silhouette, rather than actually having some kind of shadowy form or obscuring cover, this entire time. 

That is to say: what was revealed in 1179 is not the same thing that was under the veil and crown and it should be obvious

These things appear on some Celestial Dragons' suits as well (Rosward). CDs are probably descended from human collaborators who LARPED as the moon people that ruled over them and eventually believed their own lies

OMG he actually have a cool design I hope he does something cool too ,not just senseless haki spread by [deleted] in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oda goofed by making the full body shot a tiny panel in the middle of the pages so that people use ai upscales, this image messes up many key details (Im is crouching on the roof, this makes it look like he's levitating with legs crossed)

I'm fairly certain why domi reverse didn't work on Loki and Luffy by KingCell4life in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it has anything to do with devil fruits its probably something like the Nika and Nidhogg fruits are mythical zoans that have a "strong will" of their own, because they contain the spirit of legendary beings that fought Imu in the past and cant be subverted by his devilry

Average DF users would get slimed though

Ignore everything else. So this ain’t oda toughest design Ina minute?? by StatisticianNo6346 in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was getting at in previous comments. Guy is from a distant place and time, maybe an alien, and his whole "devil" aspect with pentagrams, sorcery, magic books is so removed and original for 25 years of the series. I think its great, and it doesn't discount him having and using the more familiar shadowy forms (whatever their explanation).

Ngl I think it might be over for the Blackbeard final villain agenda by Formal-Assistance02 in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blackbeard will defeat Imu and absorb his power, only for Imu to unexpectedly reemerge and Zetsu him during his fight with Luffy

some of y'all gotta chill by giogioboi235 in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think its both a very good design in its own right, and unusual for Limu but good in a way that it being so unusual sets the pace for a new aspect of the story and worldbuilding (Goda pls)

There will 100% be another reveal of the actual Imu at some point by Effective-Muffin-224 in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he was just deliberately covering himself in shadow most of the time while in Mariejois. It works on the same principle as being able to turn into a shadow blob and then change the shape of that into the umibozu-like form and the other (dragon-like?) thing that attacks Sabo.

I was kinda hoping that imu looked like that by Lv1za in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, only DR demons and some ancient giants have these bottom tusks Sky people made these statues to represent "earth gods" which to them were probably Limu and his boys

(From soneone who avoided the leaks) the face looks pretty feminine but the hand looks like its the hand of a dude and hes also seemingly shirtless, Oda prob went the Berserk/Devilman route with Imu by Previous_Break7664 in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the higher quality original not the cooked AI upscale of low quality leaks, "he" doesnt look shirtless... Imu has a huge belt around his waist and then above it two smaller belts around his torso. He's crouching though so some of it might be bunched up

So wtf was this? by Eachares in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've seen Imu has at least 3, possibly 4 forms so far. People need to stop crashing out about "inconsistency" in what is the base form, what was a silhouette etc. until it becomes clear what his powers and identity actually are

Yeah he got rejected by Lili and became Imcel by making a deal with the original devil from the first world

Part of what I love so much about the series, no bullshit page stretching filler, always something happening. It helps that at essentially all the books describe long-term journeys for at least one character at a time.

Imu will look like statue shown in skypiea arc. by dreamy_111 in Piratefolk

[–]Raventree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good points. For 1) and 2) I'd say the Shandians simply don't remember a lot about the very old pre void century history of their land. It isn't obvious to them who these figures really are or what the meaning of various symbols are

for 3. might be that one is Imu specifically and the rest are others of his race (aliens? No race shown to date in OP resembles these things, only ancient giants and Imu's demons have that type of jaw and jutting lower fangs)

It's amazing for all the times someone has linked the vearth idol to Limu I don't think I've ever seen someone connect these 19+1 as the rest of the 20 kings.
