@@SeanDeli Причём тут другие аниме когда мы говорим о One piece? Люди шокированы не только тем, что это Иму уничтожили остров с лица земли, но это связано с тем чтобы никто вообще этого не ожидал от One piece. Этот мир очень темный сам по себе. И похожую ситуацию я могу сравнить с Убийца Акаме, где тупо так же правители засиделась на троне, но в One piece она гораздо хуже, несмотря на яркий оттенок аниме.
@@SeanDeli Nobody was comparing it to anything. They were just making a joke about a slight inconsistency. No reason to try and start a debate over a joke, right?
This might actually be my favorite scene from the entire episode. This may not have been Imu's first appearance, but this... THIS is how you introduce a villain.
I genuinely love the way the music cuts out, like Im isn't just erasing the island but the reality of what they've even done as well. And the way it comes back when you actually see the destruction happen is great!
I think the most terrifying thing about this is the implication of how many times this has actually happened. How many countries has Imu just erased from one piece?
@@anna_medeia Perhaps not - it could be that Enies Lobby is on top of what was once God Valley. After all, it was a government controlled island, so it makes sense it was located at the heart of government headquarters. Then again, the hole below Enies lobby may well have been the former leading world power before the Void Century.
I love how there's literally just a giant hole where Lulusia once stood. It makes it seem like Imu literally wiped the island and it's people from existence, not ordered their destruction. Like literally "cut the island from the world map in Photoshop" kind of erasure.
This is exactly what an anime is meant to do...elevate an already epic scene to newer heights, and Toei did just that. From the ost, to the va's, and the animation. 2024 might just be the tear for One Piece again lol
The fear of the folks eyes when they realised they will die, the way the sky shifts from green to red, the powerfull soundtrack and zooming to imu's eye just demonstrates just how powerfull and terrifying imu really is.
Worth noting: That is a hole. But not a hole in the sea. A hole in the sea would have, eventually, filled in with displaced seawater. This one never does. That can only mean the water is in constant _free fall._ That is not a hole in the ocean, that is a _hole in the _*_world._* And Imu just did that _for the sake of doing it._
Extremely good observation. That was probably going to be a big plot twist by Oda and you caught it. I've seen no one else mention this and I didn't think of it either. 😳
@@Industrialman96 you're actually so right, I wonder if Imu sama made that hole by destroying an island, and the world government decided to build Enies Lobby atop the water, because they tell you the doors create the hole, but now I'm not so sure
@@Industrialman96 during the later parts of Skypeia Enel said he'd drop his enemies into a bottomless pit, makes me wonder some things about this "weapon" that took out Lulusia and likely whatever was there before Enies Lobby.
I remember reading this and absolutely losing my mind, and I've been waiting eagerly for it to be animated. And damn. They really blew it out of the water with this scene.
Notice the difference in introduction between Blackbeard and Imu. They are both “main” villains, but Blackbeard is more a personal villain towards Luffy. The fact that Aokiji joined him shows you that Blackbeard isn’t necessarily a monster, just a man with different goals and ideals. Imu however, is straight evil. He’s a monster to the world and needs to be taken out, I wouldn’t be surprised if Luffy and Blackbeard formed a temporary alliance towards this goal. After all Blackbeard holds the “D” moniker as well, it can’t be for no reason.
@@rojaedavis8367I didn’t think about that. Koby gonna be his Garp and help bring them in their “God Valley” (I think that was the island). However I think BB + SH vs WG would be a surprising twist. But I do think BB will be the “opposite” end of the will of D than Luffy and they fight. Luffy and Sabo vs Imu😂😂
Just the sheer goosebumps. The demand of the Gorosei, the menacing imagery of Imu, the sheer cold of the line; "There was no such country in the first place.", the horrifying implications of the series lore, the fact it was a mass purging of an entire kingdom in a series often cited for rarely having death scenes. The episode did it justice. The music, the showcasing of the kingdom and it's people, the raw destructive scale.
The sheer horror of this scene is chilling. Imu just erased a whole island from the world and the Five Elders erased it from history. The marines who intersected Sabo's call have to watch their mouths for the rest of their lives if they don't want to be erase either.
One thing that BOTHERS me. Is that SOOOOO many people misunderstood this scene. Imu and the elders didn't destroy lulusia because of sabo. They were already planning on destroying lulusia anyway. Sabo being there is purely coincidental. Thats why the elders were so shocked he was there and thats why one of them said "it's his fate". Its not that hard to understand and the fact people genuinely think they destroyed the island because of sabo is just dumb
@@zerosusaku maybe their new toy maybe an old toy they had minimal power sources for. Also interesting when you look back at one line from Skypeia where Enel talks about dropping his enemies down a bottomless pit.
The scariest part of this whole experience, is that the fact the World Government can just completely erase an entire country without anyone even batting an eye. The true power that Imu holds over most of the world is downright terrifying.
This final saga is just starting and One Piece is about to bring final sagas as a whole to new heights. There is a reason why out of the Big Three, it alone sits as the king in storytelling.
@@quick_quip My comment was more towards the ending than everything before it. Everything before the ending was great, the ending not so much not compared to what it did before.
While it pales in comparison to Alderaan in terms of death count, the fact that they went on to say that the kingdom and the people living in it never existed to begin with could be seen as far worse. Remember when Dr. Hiriluk said that people only die when they are forgotten? Well, Imu and the Five Elders did just that. And they did like if they had just thrown away something totally mundane.
Crazy thing is that the destruction of Alderaan killed drastically more people (understatement), but because we actually see this island getting destroyed slowly and we see the people’s fear before their deaths, I actually find this scene way scarier than the Death Star scene
The way Shepherd calmly tells the Navy, the symbol of peace and justice in the One Piece world, to stop listening in on Sabo and completely forget the existence of an entire kingdom is absolutely wild. This is just the beginning for the Gorosei and Imu and what they can do! Edit: THIS IS THE GOROSEI’S NOTHING HAPPENED.
@@mattpayne7169 Mother Flame is the implied energy source for the WG to use the weapon Dragon outright said Vegapunk would never create a weapon of mass destruction
The Marines aren't really "bad guys" as in actual villains like Doflamingo or Kaido. It's just that they are under control of the World Govt, which is then under control of Imu. I do think that some Marines will actually fight against the World Govt in the final fight, characters like Fujitora and Koby for example.
This scene just makes villains like Kaido, Teach, Doflamingo and etc. seem nice even. I mean nobody just goes around in a garden playing with butterflies all the while an entire nation is being Mandela effected out of the world on their order. Such evil can hardly be described.
The firing of this weapon and the resulting tsunamis caused the global water level to rise permanently by a meter. This reduced the shorelines of several islands, and some islands were submerged entirely. Absolutely crazy.
you know I heard a theory. you know how some people just have superior versions of various fruits? like snow < ice, fire < lava, etc. Imu may have the direct upgrade from Borsalino's fruit allowing him to control all versions of light. which also may explain the void century... Remember Foxy? he went into a some weird detail about his fruit they usually dont do unless its important... he said his powers worked by a previously unknown particle of LIGHT. thats right he may have used his power on the entire world for a century.
I'm not sure if that's theory's very valid. I mean, aside from the fact that what Imu used here was a weapon, not a DF power, it's also strongly implied that Imu's powers are more a Mythical Zoan than anything else. Like how Saint Jaygarcia Saturn of the Five Elders also seems to have a Mythical Zoan.
The music and imagery just sells how dark and vile Imu is. Blackbeard is bad, but he at least shows concern for his crew, Akainu may believe in absolute justice but even he has some level of honor, but not Imu. Imu is the serious bad guy you don't want angry at you.
I still get goosebumps.. What an powerful scene, music, animation and voice-acting! "There was no such country in the first place" is a wicked mic drop but what does it for me is the way he says "Rurushia ōkoku?.." Brrrr.. shivers
the introduction we needed, everything was fantastic, the "Drums of Oppression", the voice acting, the animation, the directing, so far every glimpse we get of Imu every so many chapters, leaves us in disbelief and with so many more question
Anime did this scene justice!👏👏👏 The animation combined with the music really emphasizes the horror and powerlessness in the face of WG:s secret weapon. It kinda reminds me of Exterminatus from Warhammer 40k-universe, or the Covenant's glassing beams from Halo.🤔 Also, it is clear that Lulusia isn't the first kingdom to be erased from both existence and histories. Imu & WG have committed several similar genocides throughout their 800 years of existence. When the truth of Lulusia's destruction and/or the true nature of WG's history eventually comes forth, it is likely that those Marines with a sense of honor and true concern for the common people (such as Garp, Smoker, Tashigi and Sengoku) may form a splinter faction that opposes Imu's rule.🤔
Jegus, this sequence is intense. The build up and erasure give a sense that this is something beyond nature, beyond science or superpowers. It borders on eldritch. Some Thing that we can barely understand decided to wipe out this part of the world in a way that defies understanding.
What makes this so much scarier is how Shepherd was telling the marines they heard nothing. They didn’t trace a single call. They never eavesdropped on anything, as imu continued to erase Lulusia Kingdom.
And then the joy of digging through all the fake covers labelled "Imu/Lulusia OST" or something along those lines trying to find the real one! I swear we're back in the kazaa days
@@RockefellersPersonalAccountantbro bb will join luffy if that's the enemy. Aokiji is not stupid he knows who the true enemy is thats why he joined bb
If he joined Luffy, it would be to defeat Imu and then backstab Luffy at the end setting him up as the final villain, but it wouldn't end with Blackbeard as a good guy@@xarmanhsh2981
I mean, if you want minor spoilers... *SPOILERS* Vegapunk himself believes the same thing; that the OP world used to be a far better, more advanced place until the Void Century happened and the World Government was formed.
I can watch this scene a 1000 times and there will be chills. The most badass display of power I’ve ever seen in the anime thus far. From the dialogue of the 5 elders to transitioning with imu’s eyes and the butterfly. The animators cooked here.
What makes this even more terrifying is that we just went through an Arc where the gang was trying so hard to save a country from being utterly destroyed. And they won. And everyone celebrated and it was beautiful. Only for the next Arc to begin with the immediate destruction of another country. I've never felt such helplessness in the world of One Piece lol
@@tectrixirMother Flame is implied to be an energy source and not the weapon itself. The WG had the (ancient?) weapon but Vegapunk provided the energy needed to use said weapon.
@@tectrixir Uranus is in space somewhere, implied in the name, just as Poseidon is in the sea. Pluton is obviously a nuclear weapon. Pluton, plutonium.
They shouldn't have cut out the end where there is just a massive hole in the sea... That is what makes the viewer realize how powerful that attack is, it flat out deletes the island leaving a huge hole in the ocean.
i love how saying it never existed in the first place implies he just rewrote history instead of the destruction scene being more like *The Kingdom of Lulusia no longer exists* or *The Kingdom of Lulusia doesn't exist*
Imagine a different take on the scene where they didn't shown the disaster on screen, and didn't have the dramatic music to build up the tension, but they still retained the narrative of Imu and the Five Elders in a cold-blooded and menacing tone. Like, showing the Kingdom before its destruction during its heyday. Then, as some bystanders ventured forward through an oncoming storm, they see through the clearing of the storm's mist a hole left behind in the wake of the Kingdom's destruction. And then the roll credits roll without the drama music, just the ambience of the storm and the seas being heard as echos. It would truly be an eerie and dreadful experience.
I’m actually glad we are finally getting to seeing more of the WG and the darkness that is behind the scenes. Too long and too often we forget that these guys are the most dominant villainous force in their world for a reason. Also seeing their crimes makes their inevitable fall all the more worth the wait. Lord knows I can’t wait to see Luffy/Nika vs Imu
@@ReiseLukas yes, I’m very well aware of what awaits us in this arc. Darkness at the top of the world seems to be the most appropriate description for what’s coming
@@ReiseLukas Seems kinda a dark mirror to our own world. Evil secretly ruling at the heights of power, and those old fossils at his feet doing what they can to enable his rule for their share of power.
A big sinkhole in the middle of the ocean made by the world government. Got me thinking that Ennies Lobby looks exactly the same. Not the first time they did it
It doesn't matter who Imu will turn out to be, how does they look like or how they acts. Every scene with Imu will contain such a huge tension because we will be fully aware that this one mysterious person is a big deal. This is such a great way to introduce a villain, with their actions. Oda can make Imu looking as goofy as he wants to, but after all this one character is still a tyrant who can slaugther the entire country and who is above everyone.
I feel bad for the people there. They were enjoying their lives and it instantly went from joyful to fear in about 10 seconds. This music adds to Imu as it shows him being so darn evil and remorseless for those ppl. Add to that, the Gorosei probably have done this many times which makes it even more terrifying and cold blooded. Buster Call is child's play compared to what Imu just did. This is how you introduce a evil person/group that is known as the Gorosei and Imu.

I still get goosebumps.. What an powerful scene, music, animation and voice-acting! "There was no such country in the first place" is a wicked mic drop but what does it for me is the way he says "Rurushia ōkoku?.." Brrrr.. shivers
One of the best scenes in all of One Piece imo
Best Scenes ? I mean what a BS this is no the second time in Op where we saw nothing happen.
@@zerosusakuwtf are you talking about
@@barniehd8358
Nothing happend and what was this Video even about ? Lulusia such a Kingdom never existed.
Robin: theres nothing more devastating than a buster call
Imu: hold my saki
"Wdym lol, nukes doesn't exist in One piece verse"
Nukes in One piece verse:
When it zooms out and you see how fast the lasers are coming down on the entire island :O
the introduction we needed, everything was fantastic, the "Drums of Oppression", the voice acting, the animation, the directing, so far every glimpse we get of Imu every so many chapters, leaves us in disbelief and with so many more question
Anime did this scene justice!👏👏👏 The animation combined with the music really emphasizes the horror and powerlessness in the face of WG:s secret weapon. It kinda reminds me of Exterminatus from Warhammer 40k-universe, or the Covenant's glassing beams from Halo.🤔
Also, it is clear that Lulusia isn't the first kingdom to be erased from both existence and histories. Imu & WG have committed several similar genocides throughout their 800 years of existence.
When the truth of Lulusia's destruction and/or the true nature of WG's history eventually comes forth, it is likely that those Marines with a sense of honor and true concern for the common people (such as Garp, Smoker, Tashigi and Sengoku) may form a splinter faction that opposes Imu's rule.🤔
Or Koby!
Maybe..... Or the Straw Hats will just have another reason to go war with Imu
Most likely, they did the same with the advanced country of 800 years ago......
Yeah, even akainu will probably want to overthrow Imu's rule, which would be epic and unique, the 2 biggest scumbags fighting
Likely they will be an internal coup from different factions of the Marines it will be SWORD vs traditional Marines
Jegus, this sequence is intense. The build up and erasure give a sense that this is something beyond nature, beyond science or superpowers. It borders on eldritch. Some Thing that we can barely understand decided to wipe out this part of the world in a way that defies understanding.
This just solidified Imu as the final boss
For sure 😮
i don't know, my bet stays with blackbeard, even if Im looks like a bigger threat
I don’t think so 🤔
@@jacopocorradi7128Blackbeard is most likely the final boss😊
@@jacopocorradi7128 Blackbeard will be the final enemy before the one piece, imu will be after, because imu will be in the way of luffys final dream
Ah yes. The Butterfly Effect. Where a butterfly's wingflap turns into a nuke. As the old addage goes.
Now that you've mentioned it, this scene looks so much better for me now-
Wait a minute, this pfp... COULD YOU BE...?
This scene feels like straight outta the Old Testament
IMU: If you want to make me laugh, tell me about "your plans".
Can't help but notice the happy face upon the Toei Cat in the corner, as he watches on, enjoying the pure destruction.
All those people. Gone in an instant. Is the World Government’s heart truly that cold to others?!
What makes this so much scarier is how Shepherd was telling the marines they heard nothing. They didn’t trace a single call. They never eavesdropped on anything, as imu continued to erase Lulusia Kingdom.
Do you think he has some mind control abilities or maybe he is a vampire like Saturn is demon spider ?
@@galactic_burger3594 well, does he really even need them? if hes being told that, questioning his orders is death.
Toei did not disappoint with animating this. It really show cases how evil Emu and the Gorosei are.
God, but the way the music just abruptly gets cut off in the middle of this scene without warning is just chilling though
I literally cannot wait to see the world reaction when they find out a monster like that is the supreme ruler of the world government
Frankly, I'm hoping that
*SPOILERS*
it's Vegapunk's contingency message that will expose Imu and the 5 Elders once and for all.
Can’t wait till they release the official OST for this scene. Surely one of the best One Piece tracks of all time.
And then the joy of digging through all the fake covers labelled "Imu/Lulusia OST" or something along those lines trying to find the real one!
I swear we're back in the kazaa days
This actually shows the real final boss of One Piece... so damn powerful Imu
Might still be Blackbeard, nothing is certain
@@RockefellersPersonalAccountant nah might be buggy, nothing is certain
nah might be ussop, nothing is certain
@@RockefellersPersonalAccountantbro bb will join luffy if that's the enemy. Aokiji is not stupid he knows who the true enemy is thats why he joined bb
If he joined Luffy, it would be to defeat Imu and then backstab Luffy at the end setting him up as the final villain, but it wouldn't end with Blackbeard as a good guy@@xarmanhsh2981
The air blowing through the trees the dog barking it really gives you the feeling of danger and death 0:01
It's sad we will never know the truth behind every war
Imu is terrifying and ruthless! Zero tolerance with snitches! I’m starting to suspect this world is a post-apocalyptic dystopia.
I mean, if you want minor spoilers...
*SPOILERS*
Vegapunk himself believes the same thing; that the OP world used to be a far better, more advanced place until the Void Century happened and the World Government was formed.
2nd coldest is when Van Augur said "The World" to saturn. That scene in the anime needs to made cold af.
In the 2010s we got "who decided that?"
2020s we have *"there was no such country in the first place"*
the moment one piece took its darkest turn
This is like rumbling level horrifying
And now we realize The Buster call was the equivalent of giving your kid a nerf gun while you shoot 50 cals and bazookas in your backyard.
I can watch this scene a 1000 times and there will be chills. The most badass display of power I’ve ever seen in the anime thus far. From the dialogue of the 5 elders to transitioning with imu’s eyes and the butterfly. The animators cooked here.
What makes this even more terrifying is that we just went through an Arc where the gang was trying so hard to save a country from being utterly destroyed. And they won. And everyone celebrated and it was beautiful. Only for the next Arc to begin with the immediate destruction of another country. I've never felt such helplessness in the world of One Piece lol
The strongest attack in one piece so far is a no named attack. Crazy.
Spoilers:
It's called The Mother Flame. It's a substance created by Vegapunk, supplied to the WG by York.
@@RazorBlade651 so that means that this isnt the ancient weapon uranus?
@@tectrixirMother Flame is implied to be an energy source and not the weapon itself. The WG had the (ancient?) weapon but Vegapunk provided the energy needed to use said weapon.
@@tectrixir Uranus is in space somewhere, implied in the name, just as Poseidon is in the sea. Pluton is obviously a nuclear weapon. Pluton, plutonium.
@@sliver3703Pluton is a ship lol.
They shouldn't have cut out the end where there is just a massive hole in the sea... That is what makes the viewer realize how powerful that attack is, it flat out deletes the island leaving a huge hole in the ocean.
they did, it cut away to koala asking what happened to sabo then cut away to the thing you're talking about
did.....did you not watch the episode?
THEY NAILED THIS SCENE SO HARD HOLY🗣🐐🔥
Even camera man didn't escape
That’s how you know it’s the real deal
A moment of silence for all those poor innocent souls that perished.😢
i love how saying it never existed in the first place implies he just rewrote history instead of the destruction scene being more like *The Kingdom of Lulusia no longer exists* or *The Kingdom of Lulusia doesn't exist*
Imu really said "There is no Lulusia in Ba Sing Se"
Imu did not speak
@@FlawlessWorldAceshe knows that
Imagine a different take on the scene where they didn't shown the disaster on screen, and didn't have the dramatic music to build up the tension, but they still retained the narrative of Imu and the Five Elders in a cold-blooded and menacing tone. Like, showing the Kingdom before its destruction during its heyday. Then, as some bystanders ventured forward through an oncoming storm, they see through the clearing of the storm's mist a hole left behind in the wake of the Kingdom's destruction. And then the roll credits roll without the drama music, just the ambience of the storm and the seas being heard as echos. It would truly be an eerie and dreadful experience.
There is No Easter Bunny there is No War in Ba Sing Se and there is No Kingdom of Lulusia
I’m actually glad we are finally getting to seeing more of the WG and the darkness that is behind the scenes. Too long and too often we forget that these guys are the most dominant villainous force in their world for a reason. Also seeing their crimes makes their inevitable fall all the more worth the wait. Lord knows I can’t wait to see Luffy/Nika vs Imu
Oh we're seeing more WG darkness this arc. This is a scratch of the surface.
@@ReiseLukas yes, I’m very well aware of what awaits us in this arc. Darkness at the top of the world seems to be the most appropriate description for what’s coming
@@grimjowchatham14 If the Devil ruled Heaven
@@ReiseLukas Seems kinda a dark mirror to our own world. Evil secretly ruling at the heights of power, and those old fossils at his feet doing what they can to enable his rule for their share of power.
There is now canonically at least one dog who has died in One Piece 😭
No saben cuánto amo la producción que está teniendo One Piece en los últimos años... Es hermosisimo
A big sinkhole in the middle of the ocean made by the world government. Got me thinking that Ennies Lobby looks exactly the same. Not the first time they did it
Yeah, and think back to God Valley, what if thats what happened to it?!
Kinda reminds me of another ancient weapon in Wano.
This is probably how the people on Alderaan felt.
This scene looked amazing and I can’t wait to learn more about what destroyed the island
Uranus prototype
I’ve been waiting almost a year maybe a year for this to be animated jesus they went all out on the quality here.
It doesn't matter who Imu will turn out to be, how does they look like or how they acts. Every scene with Imu will contain such a huge tension because we will be fully aware that this one mysterious person is a big deal. This is such a great way to introduce a villain, with their actions. Oda can make Imu looking as goofy as he wants to, but after all this one character is still a tyrant who can slaugther the entire country and who is above everyone.
This OST is so godly it makes my ears tremble by the shear sound of "Badass" it oozes.
Sometimes... Sometimes the anime does it better.
man, i love how they made up kingdoms like lulusia to really give the effect that it never existed. truly a brilliant move by oda
I feel bad for the people there. They were enjoying their lives and it instantly went from joyful to fear in about 10 seconds. This music adds to Imu as it shows him being so darn evil and remorseless for those ppl.
Add to that, the Gorosei probably have done this many times which makes it even more terrifying and cold blooded.
Buster Call is child's play compared to what Imu just did.
This is how you introduce a evil person/group that is known as the Gorosei and Imu.
By far this is the most brutal scene in whole One Piece history; I thought nothing was as savage as Ohara's genocide..
Me: what is this lulusia kingdom?
the government: Exactly.
This is one of the BEST scenes from One Piece ever..
the world govt version of "nothing happened"
World government has the uranus. Wanokuni has the pluton. Fishmen Island has the poseidon.
Now this, *this* is how you introduce a villain
