One Pieceanime episode 1118 has finally revealed the secret Supreme Leader of the world, Imu, who has been ruling through the World Government for the longest time. While Imu has made his first official appearance in front of another character in theOne Pieceanime, he is still shrouded in mystery as the anime doesn’t reveal his true identity.
Fans have been confused by Imu’s identity for the longest time. His status as the final antagonist ofOne Piecemakes his character interesting, and thus, fans desperately want to know what he looks like. Only Eiichiro Oda knows who Imu truly is, but fans still try to find out his identity using the different mysteries and foreshadowed moments Oda has planted regarding Imu.
One such theory explains that Imu is actually possessing Lili and is using her body. This theory stems from the swords that have been planted on the grounds of the Empty Throne by the Kings of the twenty founding kingdoms.
The Mystery of Imu’s Identity inOne Piece
Although the mysterious character of Imu was first revealed during the Levely Arc, his existence is kept secret within the government and from the world to maintain the deceit of no singular ruler, ruling theOne Pieceworld. He is probably the only major character inOne Piecewho has made the least amount of appearances in the story.
The Most Blood-curdling Backstory Eiichiro Oda Wrote for One Piece isn’t Doflamingo or Koala
However, as the Straw Hats are moving towards the final saga of the series, Oda is slowly revealing more details about Imu’s character. He recently gave fans aglimpse of his powersduring the aftermath of the Egghead Island arc in the manga. Even the anime has finallyintroduced his voicein the recently released episode.
Thus, fans can expect that the upcoming narrative will surely give more insight into Imu’s character. There is a chance that Oda could very well introduce him once again during the Elbaf arc, as it is the next phase of the finale saga ofOne Piece.
One PieceTheory Reveals Imu’s Identity
According to a theory posted by@writingpaninion X, Imu has been possessing Nefertari D. Lili’s body. The theory states that Imu has a striking resemblance to Lili. Also, his obsession with Lili supports the assumption even further. Plus, Ivankov has stated in the past that Imu was alive during the era of Joy Boy and Lili.
However, the biggest hint about Imu being in Lili’s body comes from the fact that the ground of the Empty Throne contains the swords of 19 founding Kingdoms. The only sword missing is Lili’s, as she refused to become a Celestial Dragon, and her sword was seen with Imu in the Flower of Chambers.
One Piece Fans Would Bow Down to Akira Toriyama After Seeing His Pirate Designs That Never Made it Into Dragon Ball
The theory also states that Lili’s origin comes from the Bible, where Lilith (referencing Lili) turned into a demonic figure.Eiichiro Odacould have very well used this reference to hint at Lili’s transformation into Imu. While the theory is interesting, fans will have to wait for further development inOne Pieceto find out the true identity of Imu.
