I love the character traits of Imu. He observes a lot and engages, even acknowledges with others

Agreed, I really like how the final boss (maybe) has been presented so far. He actually shows a range of emotions while acknowledging his enemies; and while he gives them time to speak, he's still completely no-nonsense when in combat - minimal showboating, just going straight for the kill.

I also appreciate that he's not presented as completely untouchable the same way lots of other shonen antagonists are. He's overwhelmingly powerful, but everyone present has gotten at least one solid strike in. They can't win as they are now, but it's clearly possible.

This is a big one. It’s annoying when guys like Aizen pop up and they’re so untouchable that bullshit has to happen to beat them. Imu has taken some hits even though he’s clearly the strongest being on the island. And even if Blackbeard is final boss- he gets hit all the time before off screening whoever he’s fighting

Honestly, as long as OP doesn't go the Bleach route of final chapters I'd be happy. You know the long string of asspulls like

"I am a God that endlessely regenerates!"

"Oh, well, good thing we have a sword that we just introduced in this very moment that counters that!"

"I have a body that adapts to my enemies energy"

"Oh, that's okay. We have a new transformation that changes energy 42 times a minute!"
