You feel the creaminess in his choice. Its like butterfingers melting in your mouth, but then your dads get it back from your mouth, because you didnt pay for it!
@@Twenty4-n7n it's more of a practical reason, they need to move the ancient weapon over an island in order to use it, so just test it on whatever is the closest.
Remember, Imu and the Elders had no idea that Sabo was on Lulusia until the call was traced out of there. The Elders even commented on Sabo's poor luck, indicating that Lulusia was already chosen. To Imu, it didn't matter which island was destroyed, they just wanted the test to happen quickly.
Imu has observation haki supposedly, so he may have had an idea, but didn't want to elaborate. "Do not ask such questions, i will not answer" type thought
"It's close." That was a chilling justification. It's not because they rebelled against the Government, didn't pay the tribute, or had Sabo on it. That was just a bonus. It makes you wonder that, perhaps, even if Lulusia had done none of those things and remained ultra-loyal, Imu would still have ordered the testing on it. Why ? Because it's close, and thus Imu can see it happen. No remorse, no revenge, simply convenience.
That’s what is so great. There are a bynch of valid and perfectly justifiable reasons including it’s close. But Imu just picks close and does not justify himself beyond that. And Imu still would have picked the island because it was close. The weapon clearly takes time to charge and move.
@@tcbbctagain572or perhaps the simpler the better. There's nothing wrong with Imu's reasoning, in fact it just makes them more twisted and menacing. It makes them looks like a person who plays god because they have too much power.
@@djinsh626nah after awhile I thought that the "it's close" implies that it was the nearest island so that's where sabo most likely was. He was severely injured so he couldn't have gone far
Imu is definitely terrifying mostly because they choice Lulusia because it just happened to be near by, not because that might have been a location Sabo has gone to, or that the revolution was starting on that island, but because it just happens to be close 😱
@@_JesusChrist.Yeah. Still looks kinda neat though. My brother and I both have an idea that something is wrong with Imu, even in a world full of weird things and people Imu seems uniquely strange, almost off.
This is how real world dictators tend to be: They want to do something, so they demand it be done for the most arbitrary reasons, and expect their underlings to make it happen. Those underlings can make any rationalizations or justifications they want, but the fact is, there's no rhyme, reason, or logic, it's all just the whims of the one in charge. In reality, they've gaslit themselves into believing their ruler is right and makes wise choices, but in truth has the intelligence of a toddler, and half as much patience.
This is exactly correct. Even now, people try to say that Imu actually chose it because Sabo's probably there, but it was explicitly made clear that Sabo's arrival there was unknown and pure coincidence. Imu chose it for no reason, and the followers made up reasons after the fact.
@@chillworksdev4145not really when you think about it. Sabo was gravely injured so obviously he couldn't have gone far, and the nearest island to the Redline was Lulusia, so the chances of Sabo being there were very high. Imu wouldn't just let Sabo go like that
This makes me think Imu has a child like mindset. They have no reason of doing o& what they do, they do it of whim of just feel like it. Which is bad as it is
800+ years he/she/it been around? Definitely not a child's mindset. More like Frieza's mindset. You've been around for a long time as the ruler then of course you can do what you want. Destruction is just another day for them kinda people
That, or a monster's mindset...same goes for other monsters like All For One and Big Jack Horner...they just do what they want to do, disregarding others completely But what they did is by no means completely random...Imu's moves were thought to some extent, otherwise it will just show up in the public and go, "Mu king of the world ! Kiss Mu's feet NOW !!!"
it’s worse than that truthfully imu views itself as a god that oversees all of the world and its idea of a perfect world is one lacking free will & harmony. The mf lost touch with what matters in life. And that’s y imus place at the top is slowly slipping under its feet. Truth be told the thrown room will most likely become empty at the end of the story maybe even completely destroyed.
The scary thing about IMU’s choice of Lulusia is since it’s “close” that implies they wanted to watch the results of the Mother Flame. When you think about how the initial beams of light trailed lazily across the ground, as if someone was testing, before hammering the island into oblivion with dozens of strikes in seconds…chilling stuff.

I honestly doubt it. Even if there was that kind of justification, Imu just seems so....**removed** from ordinary humanity, like whether or nor Sabo was honestly in the path of the weapon was a non-factor for them. They picked an island for a simple, basic reason, no matter how it affected anybody else, and that in turn just demonstrates how they don't register people as beings worthy of notice.
Imu literally gives the reason and you’re trying to create a different one. Sabo wasn’t on Lulusia and Imu didn’t know where he was. They just chose it cause it was close
@@carlackersiiThat’s what happens when your personal headcanon is stronger than your reading comprehension lol

No, Imu didn't know, neither Gorosei. Whole point of this conversation was that Imu can see results, tha's why Imu said it's close. When you go back to episode when they launched attack you can see Ju Peter saying that Sabo didn't have much luck when they later found out that he "was" in Lulusia Kingdom.
People trying to say, “Imu must have known Sabo fled to", no. You don't get it. Imu doesn't _care_ about Sabo. Imu doesn't care about _anything._ They literally view _the entire planet and everyone on it_ as disposable. "It’s close" means "it’s close". They simply didn’t see a reason to wait when there was an island right there. The lives upon it are absolutely negligable.
Exactly. I don't get why everyone so stubborn to say that Imu must have known Sabo is in there. Ironically, those people act like the elders here. Trying to justify a reason for an atrocious act. Sometimes the simpler the better in story writing.
I think you forgot that Sabo was gravely injured so he couldn't have gone far. And the closest island to the Redline was Lulusia, so Sabo being there was highly probable. Imu wouldn't just let Sabo go with him knowing what he knows
Many people try to explain this desicion as Imu knowing the place where Sabo is hiding and blowing it up to pieces to hide all the evidence. That is not the case: this scene happened shortly after the Reveri and by this point Sabo was only on the royal ship that was going to Lulucia and if anyone knew about his whereabouts, they would just sink the ship. The point was to show pure apathy of Imu's decision: the destruction of Lulucia was not a divine punishment for the rebellion and it was not an attempt at hiding truth by killing Sabo, it was just a weapon test. Other apparent meanings were just coinsidences. Imu's logic was terrifyingly simple: to test a weapon of mass destruction the best target would be a place with many people, and logisticaly the best way to get the result both quickly and quietly would be attacking a close but unimportant location. Cold, lodical solution with absolutely no regard to human lives or any type of morality. Even Gorosei were surprised by both the order to attack regular civilians and by the reason behind it.
Gorosei: why do you want to the destroy the island? Imu: it’s close Gorosei: Didn’t we destroy the last island because it was far? Imu: Yes Gorosei: Makes perfect sense
No, watch 1089 and this again. Imu nuked Lulusia just cus “it’s close”. Elders say Sabo was unlucky to be there 🤷♂️ Imu is a evil Luffy no thinking, just genocide.
Imu's VA has to be someone we've heard before, meaning they're related to someone important currently in the story. Whether that's Vivi or Luffy, who knows, but there's no reason to hide their VA otherwise. I'm more convinced now than ever. Imu is definitely a woman.
Imu is like this because the creators of the anime doesn't know the gender, as it's yet to be revealed. It is not foreshadowing, they simply don't know what to do with the voice until then. For now, it is heavily implied Imu is male, as Ivankov guessed it to be the king of the Nerona family from 800 years ago, and japanese readers claim the speech pattern is that of a male.
@@vanitaes None of that means anything. Recorded history could be wrong. And I don't believe you've verified those "Japanese readers claim his speech pattern to be male" claims. The pronoun they use is the genderless "mu." Not the masculine ore, or boku, or watashi.
Im pretty sure it's just the animators using alternative color and lighting to emphasize the tone. You see this all the time in other anime (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a good example)
It really feels like the Gorosei are trying to justify Imu's choice dispute basically admitting that there is no grand plan its just the first one that came to mind
"Set a course for Alderaan." "With pleasure. 😈" Literally the first thing that I thought about. That weapon is the Death Star, Saturn is Tarkin (to me anyway) and Imu is Palpatine.
Beginning to believe on 3 things. 1. Imu is the original "devil" from where the devil fruits originated 2. Imu is THE sea and did not intend to distribute the fruits hence she cursed all who stole her property. (Sea nullification and rejection) 3. Imu is a woman
@Gooses_Pond just basing it off the voice and the theory that the sea in one piece was referred to as "she". Still wondering how Oda will really present this.
I feel like there's two options here: Imu truly doesn't care about where they tested the weapon as it suggested here. Or, Imu has an alternative reason but didn't feel the need to share it with the elders. There was quite a gap between the question and their response; its totally possible that was just there for dramatic effect, but I could also see it that Imu didn't like/didn't want to answer the question.
Imu's voice really unsettles me : just the sound is already bad enough, but it's the way it speaks so slowly, almost with difficulty... it's like Imu's is speaking in a langage that isn't familiar to them, or just isn't used to speak. But the one explanation I can think of that really has terrible implications, is that it's almost feels like a human trying to mimic an animal's speech, or the other way around.
I think Imu sounds the way they do because they talk the way people talked 800 years ago. Imu talks differently. As for the voice, Imu sounds like something neither here nor there. Their way of speaking is very archaic, which leads me to suspect Imu has not been in the world and been sequestered so long that their dialect became almost another language
this scene was cold, it showed just how powerful Imu is, to he able to destroy a whole kingdom just because “its close” and without anyone rejecting it. and also how meaningless human lives are to them
Why do I feel that Oda is tricking us once again by wanting us to think that Imu is Nerona Imu of the first 20 only to reveal to us later on that they're not the same and that this is someone else from back then that took over the name Imu?? Maybe a woman. Perhaps it was Nerona Imu that did the perennial surgery that made this one immortal. It just sounds like something Oda would do he's a professional gaslighter lol
That's what I'm thinking, it looks like a set up for a red herring, especially considering that the japanese word "imu" is connected to the tradition of Law's "taboo name", which is basically adopting an alias/fake name for the rest of your life to protect yourself from evil spirits
Made a bit more chilling when you realize Imu went full Old Testament God in the backstory and flooded the entire world. "I said I wouldn't use "Water" again. I said nothing but Orbital Lasers."
I guess Oda had no intention of making Imu into a villain, that you can somewhat sympathize with. Straight up psychopathic mass murderer, no chance of any redemption. Anyone else wants Blackbeard to be the one that beats him up?
Who knows.... I think Imu might actually have a different ending when compared to all the other villains cuz in Caribbean folklore, Joyboy is the one that removes the "black veil of sadness and despair" from people. So maybe luffy's going to remove imu's black veil and make imu laugh or something.

@@karatedeeI guess he is someone who ate a very rare mythical devil fruit and ended up like having eternal youth and some op powers
Marky Mars and the Funky Bunch
i found it funny how the other gorosei quickly caught up with the conversation and said UNDERSTOOD!!
Now that im hearing more lines from imu it starts to scare me
I love Imu as a villain.
Same
The VA for Imu sounds like the VA for serie in frieren.
So uh it's Killua basically
@@Rubilacxee So I'm not the only one that things they sound like a child?
The part where Imu said "I want Vivi" is the most concerning thing to worry about.
He probably lusts after her or something.
Imu: Nuke Lulusia
Gorosie: Yes
Imu knew sabo was going to lusisia. Thats why he said its close. Probably the closest island to them.
I honestly doubt it. Even if there was that kind of justification, Imu just seems so....**removed** from ordinary humanity, like whether or nor Sabo was honestly in the path of the weapon was a non-factor for them. They picked an island for a simple, basic reason, no matter how it affected anybody else, and that in turn just demonstrates how they don't register people as beings worthy of notice.
Imu literally gives the reason and you’re trying to create a different one. Sabo wasn’t on Lulusia and Imu didn’t know where he was. They just chose it cause it was close
@@carlackersiiThat’s what happens when your personal headcanon is stronger than your reading comprehension lol
No, Imu didn't know, neither Gorosei. Whole point of this conversation was that Imu can see results, tha's why Imu said it's close. When you go back to episode when they launched attack you can see Ju Peter saying that Sabo didn't have much luck when they later found out that he "was" in Lulusia Kingdom.
Exactly, It's like Emperor Nero in Ancient Rome setting Rome on fire just because he wanted to and then blamed Christians for it later.
People trying to say, “Imu must have known Sabo fled to", no. You don't get it.
Imu doesn't _care_ about Sabo. Imu doesn't care about _anything._ They literally view _the entire planet and everyone on it_ as disposable.
"It’s close" means "it’s close". They simply didn’t see a reason to wait when there was an island right there. The lives upon it are absolutely negligable.
I think this is simply incomprehensible to most people watching, hence the headcannon where there must be more to it.
Facts
Exactly. I don't get why everyone so stubborn to say that Imu must have known Sabo is in there. Ironically, those people act like the elders here. Trying to justify a reason for an atrocious act. Sometimes the simpler the better in story writing.
So you think imu doesn't care that an outsider knows about their existence?
I think you forgot that Sabo was gravely injured so he couldn't have gone far. And the closest island to the Redline was Lulusia, so Sabo being there was highly probable. Imu wouldn't just let Sabo go with him knowing what he knows
Gorosei: A lot of people are going to die if you do this
Imu: A lot of what now?
Gorosei: Exactly. Fire.
Imu sounds like the warhammer titan
Many people try to explain this desicion as Imu knowing the place where Sabo is hiding and blowing it up to pieces to hide all the evidence. That is not the case: this scene happened shortly after the Reveri and by this point Sabo was only on the royal ship that was going to Lulucia and if anyone knew about his whereabouts, they would just sink the ship.
The point was to show pure apathy of Imu's decision: the destruction of Lulucia was not a divine punishment for the rebellion and it was not an attempt at hiding truth by killing Sabo, it was just a weapon test. Other apparent meanings were just coinsidences.
Imu's logic was terrifyingly simple: to test a weapon of mass destruction the best target would be a place with many people, and logisticaly the best way to get the result both quickly and quietly would be attacking a close but unimportant location. Cold, lodical solution with absolutely no regard to human lives or any type of morality. Even Gorosei were surprised by both the order to attack regular civilians and by the reason behind it.
The hilarious dark contrast between the creepiness of Imu... and their frickin Transponder Snail.
I like how Imu den den mushi is just a blank face with no expression and red eyes
this is why its forbidden for any nation to have an orbital weapon
Gorosei: why do you want to the destroy the island?
Imu: it’s close
Gorosei: Didn’t we destroy the last island because it was far?
Imu: Yes
Gorosei: Makes perfect sense
After discussing about Lulusia, Imu orders his council members to go after Luffy's former member and princess of Arabasta, Vivi. 1:28. 😳🤯!
Because she is lilys ancestor or reincarnation thats why imu wants her
@@AdvaitMpillaiis that true
bot comment
Vivi is Ramona Flowers and Imu is Gideon Graves.
Vivi not luffy.
I have a feeling that Imu's long crown must be a tower of 20 crowns. Killed the other 19 kings and literally now wearing all of their crowns lol
0:42 Gorosei follow imu word until st peter question be like:
That’s how the higher powers in Hollywood are gathering right now to take out Diddy b4 he spills the beans
"it's close"="Sabo is probably there"
No
"It's close to where the weapon is"
Not it’s not
No, watch 1089 and this again. Imu nuked Lulusia just cus “it’s close”. Elders say Sabo was unlucky to be there 🤷♂️
Imu is a evil Luffy no thinking, just genocide.
Imu's VA has to be someone we've heard before, meaning they're related to someone important currently in the story. Whether that's Vivi or Luffy, who knows, but there's no reason to hide their VA otherwise. I'm more convinced now than ever. Imu is definitely a woman.
Imu is like this because the creators of the anime doesn't know the gender, as it's yet to be revealed. It is not foreshadowing, they simply don't know what to do with the voice until then. For now, it is heavily implied Imu is male, as Ivankov guessed it to be the king of the Nerona family from 800 years ago, and japanese readers claim the speech pattern is that of a male.
Someone said Imu is voiced by Eiichiro Oda himself
@@vanitaes None of that means anything. Recorded history could be wrong. And I don't believe you've verified those "Japanese readers claim his speech pattern to be male" claims. The pronoun they use is the genderless "mu." Not the masculine ore, or boku, or watashi.
@@azurefire-91 finally someone to stand the bs theory 😊
@@peter-josephlamusitele6296😂😂😂😂 bro 😭
I really think imu is a combination of the original 20 into one person. Even the gorosei bring up its as the "Creators".
I love how its dendenmushi is also pitch black with a ridiculously high crown
1:31 guys the flowers turned purple
Im pretty sure it's just the animators using alternative color and lighting to emphasize the tone. You see this all the time in other anime (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a good example)
Gorosei: Lots of people live there
Imu: Yes
Gorosei: …
Imu: …
Gorosei: Okay then.
It really feels like the Gorosei are trying to justify Imu's choice dispute basically admitting that there is no grand plan its just the first one that came to mind
Always get chills from Imu
This is getting wild
Damn, I did not imagine Imu would sound like that. Makes it more anonymous
They are not humans, evil monsters.
"Set a course for Alderaan."
"With pleasure. 😈"
Literally the first thing that I thought about. That weapon is the Death Star, Saturn is Tarkin (to me anyway) and Imu is Palpatine.
Beginning to believe on 3 things.
1. Imu is the original "devil" from where the devil fruits originated
2. Imu is THE sea and did not intend to distribute the fruits hence she cursed all who stole her property. (Sea nullification and rejection)
3. Imu is a woman
First 2 are good
@Gooses_Pond just basing it off the voice and the theory that the sea in one piece was referred to as "she". Still wondering how Oda will really present this.
@@DogIsMe the sea is referred to as she irl too it isn't an one piece thing. Thats really all you're going off?
@@DogIsMe the voice sounds nothing like a woman . I mean you can believe that but yeah makes no sense to me.
@@Gooses_Pond yep. No worries if you disagree.
"Lulusia? A lot of people live there."
Imu: Gonna cry?
Imu: Get rid of Lulusia
Elders: Why?
Imu:
Elders: Aight, bet 👌
I feel like there's two options here: Imu truly doesn't care about where they tested the weapon as it suggested here. Or, Imu has an alternative reason but didn't feel the need to share it with the elders. There was quite a gap between the question and their response; its totally possible that was just there for dramatic effect, but I could also see it that Imu didn't like/didn't want to answer the question.
Saturn: damn i only got about 50 episodes and a couple flashbacks left
Tik Tok, Tik Tok 😂
You really sat there and tried as hard as you could to turn a spoiler into a top comment didn't you.
The best part is yet to come " The flashback" 🎯
Imu's voice really unsettles me : just the sound is already bad enough, but it's the way it speaks so slowly, almost with difficulty... it's like Imu's is speaking in a langage that isn't familiar to them, or just isn't used to speak. But the one explanation I can think of that really has terrible implications, is that it's almost feels like a human trying to mimic an animal's speech, or the other way around.
I think Imu sounds the way they do because they talk the way people talked 800 years ago. Imu talks differently. As for the voice, Imu sounds like something neither here nor there. Their way of speaking is very archaic, which leads me to suspect Imu has not been in the world and been sequestered so long that their dialect became almost another language
this scene was cold, it showed just how powerful Imu is, to he able to destroy a whole kingdom just because “its close” and without anyone rejecting it. and also how meaningless human lives are to them
Imu’s defeat will be so satisfying to see one day.
After his defeat, Luffy will find the one piece!
The granpas started gaslighting theselves😭
Why do I feel that Oda is tricking us once again by wanting us to think that Imu is Nerona Imu of the first 20 only to reveal to us later on that they're not the same and that this is someone else from back then that took over the name Imu?? Maybe a woman. Perhaps it was Nerona Imu that did the perennial surgery that made this one immortal. It just sounds like something Oda would do he's a professional gaslighter lol
That's what I'm thinking, it looks like a set up for a red herring, especially considering that the japanese word "imu" is connected to the tradition of Law's "taboo name", which is basically adopting an alias/fake name for the rest of your life to protect yourself from evil spirits
Imu is Lily from 800 years ago, calling it now.
@@CedricBassman no
@@CedricBassman it could be an entity possessing lily's body but definitely not lily herself.
@@CedricBassmanImu is not lily lol! Lily was a D who helped the D by spreading the ponygleiphs
"A lot of people live there "
Imu:"I missed the part wheres my problem "
This is peak peice
“A lot of people lived there.”
Imu: I miss the part where that’s my problem.
This goes so far to show IMU'S depravity, "It is Close" just disgusting
Finally One Piece's hyped characters are getting screentime after 1100+ episodes!!
Nah imu got scary voice
Made a bit more chilling when you realize Imu went full Old Testament God in the backstory and flooded the entire world.
"I said I wouldn't use "Water" again. I said nothing but Orbital Lasers."
These guys are like the real governments... And this scene feels like the wars that are going on in our world.... it's all a game of secrets.
I guess Oda had no intention of making Imu into a villain, that you can somewhat sympathize with.
Straight up psychopathic mass murderer, no chance of any redemption.
Anyone else wants Blackbeard to be the one that beats him up?
Who knows.... I think Imu might actually have a different ending when compared to all the other villains cuz in Caribbean folklore, Joyboy is the one that removes the "black veil of sadness and despair" from people. So maybe luffy's going to remove imu's black veil and make imu laugh or something.
And I don't imu is a guy lol
