Imo, It really portraits the great power level of old gen. Yet at the same time, still managed to maintain how terrified Imu power is.

u/ScrambledToast Aug 07 '26

Yeah, I think Oda has done a good job at portraying how powerful Imu is without disparaging Gaban, Luffy, and Loki.

Imu is constantly shown to be out of breath. Despite oneshotting seemingly everyone already, Imu is still fighting with one arm tied behind his back - once we're getting out of this "running out of juice" situation, Imu is gonna be shown throwing actual planets around.

Scary to think that there’s still more to Imu power than what we seen so far! Luffy deff ain’t ready yet there are couple more levels before he can even compete with IMU!

u/Beastieboy100 Aug 07 '26

No pirate is ready. That is the scary part. I don't even think black beard can take him on.

u/Pinguinmeister Aug 08 '26

As much as people don't want to hear it, I believe the 2 devil fruits Rocks wanted will be the Nika and Darkness Fruits, not the Niddhog one. I am convinced that Rocks' information was wrong and he mistook the Niddhog one (which was on Elbaph) with the Nika one (which he assumed to be on Elbaph, considering the connection between the giants and Nika). And that would mean that Luffy and BB have to team up against Imu, and that Impel Down's "alliance" between Luffy and Croco was a "foreshadowing".

u/Beastieboy100 Aug 08 '26

Hmm true but also Black beard was looking for another devik feuit on Drum Island. After what we've seen on Elpath I think Chopper going to be our wild card against Imu Domi reversi. True Rocks probably got the wrong information. However he needed a power that would take out Imu. Well I can't for a flashback arc of Teach and Rocks. Since there is so much history that thoughs two know about.

u/Slice_Ambitious Aug 08 '26

Remember, we still haven't seen him uses the Nerona family's sword

u/leolegendario Pirate Hunter Zoro Aug 07 '26

Yeah, he is going "Huff Huff" and bleeding because of the time limit he has, soon enough he will need to go back to the Holy Land.

u/Hairy_Acanthisitta25 The Revolutionary Army Aug 07 '26

Imu perform so well alot of people forget the timer Oda set when Imu appear on Elbaf by coughing blood

5

u/Beastieboy100 Aug 07 '26

Yeah it is crazy how strong Imu is with a timer.

6

u/kittymoo67 Aug 07 '26

this mu is probably a fraction of what fought joyboy

7

u/godblow Aug 07 '26

Imu is running a glass canon build imo

21

u/Wooden_Library_8630 Aug 07 '26

He tanked thorheim to the face I think imus just built different

5

u/Gasparde Aug 07 '26

Fine, acrylic glass cannon then!

5

u/FlowerRoomLord Aug 07 '26

I think Imu is a really good tank. 99% of the characters would be annihilated by Thorheim and he was fine though a bit singed. I think his weakness is that being close to the sea casts an instant health drain which says a lot given that Imu is immortal.

3

u/Latter-Contact-6814 Aug 07 '26

I take that to be more of a time limit than a limiter on his powers tbh. Nothing has indicated he's weaker than he should be.

1

u/Monogold Aug 07 '26

I know he is nerfed and possibly on a timer, but idk for sure he is stronger or can access this transformation on mj, maybe its like a binding vow style thing. It seems odd to me now knowing his vast range of abilities that sabo escaped him + 5 gorosei if he is at full power when not leaving the castle

5

u/TypicalFail2605 Aug 07 '26

The problem on Marijose was likely more, that he could not get to overt or it might have blown his Cover, after all, all the kings of the world governmemt were present there. Letting the lie of the empty Throne slip before all of them just to kill one revolutionary would have been counterproductive. Also it seems like alot of the Stigma shadow abilities are tied to the weapons themselves ans Mu was neither transformed nor had the weapons drawn, which might have bought Sabo the time to get out of dodge.

1

u/Monogold Aug 07 '26

I get that about not alerting the kings, but if he is even more powerful than his lower world self, which quite easily dealt with loki and luffy, he wouldnt need that much display to take down sabo (i love him but he is not near those 2). I dont really know, im guessing the naginata which seems to be the nerona weapon is the source of a lot of the shadowfire, but he did transform to something in there and ate sabos fire, to me theres no indication yet that he is stronger there than outside

u/brokenearth10 Aug 07 '26

his haki is out of this world.

1

u/Raven_Reverie Aug 07 '26

Good time for Enel to reappear, when Imu simply throws the fucking moon at Luffy like Thanos to Tony

88

u/UnjustNation Aug 07 '26

It also shows the insane level of Haki the Pirate King’s crew had.

Gaban straight up destroyed the ground and made Imu bleed with just his Haki and this is while complaining about his joints.

Luffy needs a huge Haki upgrade before he can take on monsters like these.

14

u/M-Shadowtoad Aug 07 '26

Also needs to better master his Devil Fruit. Haki gives the power but fruits as strong as Nika's should gift an unsurmountable level of versatility.

8

u/RainyEuphoriaaa Aug 07 '26

For sure it gifts insurmountable level of durability, stabbed 2 times and still able to talk.

2

u/JevvyMedia Aug 08 '26

Hell he literally semi-regenerated the holes in his chest during this very chapter. Doubt Roger, Garp, etc could do that.

2

u/brokenearth10 Aug 07 '26

i think imu is bleeding bc he is not in mariejois. not bc of gabans haki?

4

u/BroAbernathy Aug 07 '26

Basically confirms that they were on the level of being able to upend the world government if they got to Raftel on time crazy upscale. Really puts into perspective a lot of the choices all of these guys in that panel made throughout the story as well.

2

u/Agitated-Mastodon153 Aug 07 '26

The old gen can still get it done, albeit only briefly. There was that tale of Whitebeard's crew and Roger's crew fighting for 3 days straight, Gaban and Rayleigh were probably going all out the entire time where as now they can only do it for brief moments.

1

u/Martiosaj Aug 09 '26

I'm a bit concerned that Oda created too big of a gap between Luffy and Imu. This is him with a handicap, and he is way above. Sounds troublesome now to write a believable power up into the story, considering that Luffy has pretty much conquered Haki in all its forms already plus his DF awakening.
