    🐉Regarding the comments about me stealing Dawn and Dusk's theories🐉
    I released this video an hour after DD and only because I scheduled my video to be released while I was sleeping since YT tells me that it's a good time to upload.
    But for real, people grossly underestimate the time and effort content creators put into their videos. These projects are passion projects (done for free) that takes weeks and months to create.
    It takes me 10 hours just to render my video and because I'm a perfectionist, I did that multiple times lol. I'm also new to scripting so that alone took about a week. And as for the theory, itself. I literally thought about nothing else for a couple days to come up with a theory I was happy with for the answer of "who is the Hinokizu man". The animated manga panels alone took days to cutout, edit etc. I also get stressed out recording my Voice overs since it's something I'm really not confident about or used to doing so please think twice before you comment on anyone's channel let alone a small channel doing their best...
    I still appreciate you checking out my video but if it wasn't for all the other amazing people and their comments, these comments could get to me.
    PS I only have respect for Dawn and Dusk so no need to compare the two theories. I think we say enough different things that they can be supplementary to each other
    Piece and love, fam❤

    One Piece is not just a story, it is a message to humanity. The philosophy of One Piece is being realized in our world. Our meeting now to talk abour the mystery of the story without a look to a race or country or culture representing the concept of the One Piece, it is the One Piece as it will be realized in the world of that story, which I see as one of the greatest things the human mind has produced.

    This went so many directions I wasn't expecting, this is fantastic. There's so many Imu theories but you've come at it from a whole new angle, and the whole 'drag(on) queen' bit at the end made me laugh so hard.
    Sorry the actual content of this video is being a lil overlooked because of the timing with Dawn Dusk's video, and I'm glad you're both being so chill about it. Just goes to show that there really must be something there if multiple people are looking into it huh? ^^

    Imu being a Tatsu Dragon Yokai would be pretty cool. You should look at the lore of the Tatsu Dragon Yokai. “Water god” Capable of eating anything (eating Sabo’s flame.) Serpentine tail like the one that punctured Sabo and Cobra. “They live in splendid castles at the bottom of the sea.” The Red Line? The emperor’s of Japan believe they descend from dragons. Celestial dragons? Imu when he eats the flame looks like the dragon from punk hazard. Vegapunk was with a dragon when Clover saw him in the Punk Hazard flashback.

    • @kusoland
      @kusoland  3 місяці тому +1

      The Tatsu Yokai you’re referring to is basically the Japanese version of the Eastern dragon 🐉 so the same as the Ryu 龍 which is I guess a yokai? In the loosest way? But the ryujin i mention in the video is exactly the same thing you’re talking about, the water god I think! He lived in Ryugu castle, an under water castle and I do believe the mythology goes that he was the ancestor of the very first emperor of Japan as you say! Glad you found the same figure though as ryujin is very interesting for sure! As for Imu likely looking like a western dragon, I agree, and Dawn Dusk who released a similar video to this one around the same time also comes to a similar outcome so do check it out! Thanks for watching the video though, much appreciated! ❤

    this is the second theory-video i watch today assuming Imu to be a dragon. Dawn&Dusk and Kusoland are travelling on different routes for their theories just to have some similar conclusions. what if their theories are correct - at least in parts - an Imu, the ruler of the celestial dragons is a dragon himself and maybe one who would let Kaido appear very puny and weak in comparison.

    • @kusoland

      Yeah I've been made aware of DD's new video, what are the odds they came out within hours of each other huh🤣 I think like DD says though, while Kaido was an Eastern Dragon, Imu is most likely a Western dragon with wings very much like Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty.

    The Goa Kingdom part of this theory after 9:00 is likely a red herring - Goa is part of One Piece because Oda was inspired by Olivier Levasseur, the pirate who stole the Firery Cross of Goa (greatest 'one piece' of pirate treasure ever, looked kinda like Yoru) and went out like Roger (executed, started a hunt for this treasure with a ponegliff-like code).
    The reason this makes the Goa part specifically a red herring is that the evidence suggests Oda didnt realise Goa was atttached to India when he started OP (which is important to it having king cobras) - it seems likely he assumed it was Brazil due to it being the Portuguese Empire (hence why Luffy, a One-Piece Goan, is Brazilian, not IRL Goan)
    (Why do I know all this? I'm a Goan 😂)
    As an aside, Imu having some tie to the 'Nerona' familiy interests me here, as Noronha is a Portuguese surname common in both Brazil and Goa.

      @@kusoland Happy to help - I didn't know it would be the case when I first got into One Piece, but it turned out to be one of very few pieces of popular media that engages with Goa at all 😂 (even it's really in name only)
      I had a dig in the past into piratical implications of Noronha (Nerona as a spelling seems only to relate to Imu) and really the only thing is the island of Fernando de Noronha, one of the first islands sighted in the 'New World' and briefly a pirate hideout (for Black Bart / Bartholomew Roberts - the Golden Age pirate who captured the most ships of all)
      If I was going to make a crazy theory I'd relate that back to Hachinosu, but I don't think it was important enough in IRL history for it to be of any relevance - Oda isn't clutching at straws 😂

      Yeah I also had an idea that while Luffy's ability is "imagination", Imu's ability is "relativity". There's that shot of Imu walking down the stairs to the giant Straw Hat but in that shot, the candles are on a strange angle as if the whole staircase is on a 90 degree angle. Which reminded my of An MC Escher painting title "relativity". (famous one you've probably seen and also referenced in Thriller Bark episode). Relativity as you know would tie into Einstein's theory of relativity so the power of logic vs imagination and creativity I guess.

    I like you mentioned Vira because it's definitely the best option, but it goes way deeper, it was in Vira Noland got the waver the Strawhats found in the Saint Briss Galleon. This waver, the one Nami is using now, has a special type of dial that was made in Birka and that is more powerful than the skypeia ones but believed to be extinct for some reason (it was a lie because it was thanks to then Enel reached the Moon). So Vira (which also means "to turn" in Spanish) is connected to Birkans, the ones that also use the knot Joyboy used to store his haki. Vira is the last route before Lodestar and will be where Mother Flame is defeated.

    If there's a fruit superior to Kaido's then it's definitely not Ryujin but Kohryu
    Kaido's fruit is based on one of the four auspicious beasts - Azure Dragon of the east which represents east, spring, dawn and wood wuxing
    There's also: Vermilion Bird of the South representing south, summer, midday and fire wuxing. White Tiger of the west representing west, autumn, dusk and metal wuxing. And Black tortoise of the north representing North, winter, midnight and water wuxing

      @@temple475 hey temple yes I know about this lore! I really love it and once applied it to the gorosei which worked pretty well.
      Though I used the Shitenno as the basis and used the beasts as more of a supplementary thing.
      Which fit really well with V Nasujuro who ended up being a horse demon since the central spot the gold dragon is also a Kirin in some cases which is a horse dragon (Kirin is also a giraffe in Japanese which is why I think Oda uses them a lot). The central spot in shitenno is Taishakuten and represented by the planet of Venus. Taishakuten kind of acts as the leader of the Shitenno too which fits with Nasujuro wearing a different outfit.
      The other gorosei fit pretty well but not 100% it also works with the 5 dots of WG logo.
      As for Kohryu being the upgrade to Kaidos devil fruit, I think that’s one possibility but Ryujin who was the most predominant Dragon deity who also was the ancestor to the Emperor of Japan makes more sense to me than bringing in the auspicious beasts since those 5 beasts represented balance so making Kaido’s fruit a downgrade to the Gold dragon, which was just 1 of the 5 beasts feels to me like we’re ignoring the other 3 beasts from the equation.
      Of course Kaido was the azure dragon and so was a nod to the beasts but I don’t think that means that his upgrade would be the central dragon.
      But hey maybe I’m being narrow minded here. You might be right! Just don’t think either options are “definitely” wrong or right since Oda often mixes various stories together anyway.

    Pitch Black ship of Imu is the Flying Dutchman. He is literally davy jones before. He won a Davy Back Fight V.s. joyboy (By cheating I assume.) Joyboy found out thus fighting him for real but without his crew already. Giving imu his burned scar at the cost of Joyboys life. (Joyboys crew, banished to walk for eternity or sent somewhere by their new captain imu.)

      Yeah that's based. So that same ship as the one in Fishman Island?? Agreed that there must have been some backhandedness by Imu to defeat Joyboy since we've seen that foreshadowed a few times. Looks like we're on the same page though about Imu having a burn scar go team!

    IMU could be inspired by Chernobog from the Fantasia movie, and there’s a strong Dracula influence, making him a vampire-like figure. The name 'IMU' might even stand for 'I Miss U,' referring to his lost love, . In Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Dracula is obsessed with Mina Harker because she reminds him of his lost love Elizabetha. Interestingly, if you rearrange the letters in 'Mina,' you get 'Nami.' This makes me think IMU might be fixated on Nami and could eventually kidnap her..also imu being vampire dracula explains why he's scared of the dawn..
    D may stand for Dhampir ..Dhampir is a mythical creature that is the result of a union between a vampire and a human in balkan folklor..Dhampirs are natural enemies of vampires..

      @@kusoland Yeah, I noticed that too. I think the character Breed from filler episode 627, titled : "Rufi UMI ni Shisu!? Kaizoku Dōmei Hōkai", foreshadows Imu-sama. (Breed a ringmaster who looks like Dracula) Imu suffered mistreatment by humans in his childhood and his witnessing of their cruelty towards animals may have influenced Imu-sama’s motivations. Just like Breed, who became a ringmaster and sought revenge by turning humans into animals, Imu-sama appears to have a similar mindset. Imu-sama's actions-turning humans into animals (minks..fishmen..ZOANS DF) and becoming their ringmaster-seem to reflect his desire to make humans experience the suffering that animals endure when mistreated. This transformation and role reversal could be his way of seeking retribution for the injustices he has witnessed and endured.

Dragon's face tattoo represents the 3 of Spades. The lowest ranked card in many card games. But what happens when the whole world gets flipped upside down at the end of the story?

    Either Imu or Loki the king of Elbaf has the final poneglyph.
    Is my guess.
    However.

      Yeah that hidden face is super interesting isn't it. I know it's pretty basic but I think that's Shanks' twin brother.
