Every information Oda has revealed about Imu as of One Piece chapter 1168, explained

As of One Piece Chapter 1168, Eiichiro Oda has revealed more information about Imu, and this detail has ended up making this character even more terrifying. This character was once only a faceless figure rumored to sit upon the supposedly vacant Empty Throne. Now, Imu has emerged as the most powerful force in the One Piece world.

With everything happening in the story since Elbapf arc began, we are getting more lore behind this character. Slowly, it seems like Oda has been peeling back layers and giving readers more information about Imu’s identity, powers, motivations, and even their monstrous true form. Here is every confirmed detail Oda has revealed about Imu up to One Piece Chapter 1168.

The strongest hint regarding Imu’s identity in One Piece continues to point toward Nerona Imu, one of the original First Twenty kings who founded the World Government eight centuries ago. Ivankov’s speculation grows more convincing with each chapter.

We also need to note that Imu’s absolute authority over the Gorosei, Saturn’s reverent use of the word “Creator,” and the fact that even Celestial Dragons pale in comparison to their power all suggest that Imu was not a mere contributor to the Government’s creation but one of its original architects.

Imu’s personality: A cold, detached force with one emotional weakness

Imu’s personality can be seen to be cold and always be mechanically detached from life. It has mercilessly eliminated kings, locations, and anything and everyone who seems to cause a threat. Moreover, in One Piece, it casually strips Saturn himself of immortality simply because he failed to meet expectations. Imu has constantly displayed zero empathy, no hesitation, and absolutely no regard for any life beyond their own goals.

Yet this emotional emptiness cracks when it comes to Joy Boy. During the Egghead incident, Imu fell to their knees, screaming in pure rage at the mention of Joy Boy, revealing a deep trauma, hatred, or fear connected to that ancient figure. It is the only moment in the entire series where Imu displays something resembling human emotion.

Imu’s abilities: Immortality, supreme haki, and the horror of Domi Reversi

When it comes to knowing more about Imu's power, Eiichiro Oda has revealed more about Imu in the last few arcs than in the previous twenty-five years combined. Till now, it has displayed clear signs of immortality, having survived the combined attacks of legendary names such as Roger, Garp, Whitebeard, Kaidou, and Big Mom, a lineup unmatched in history.

Their possession ability, showcased during the Elbaph chaos in One Piece, allows them to override Manmayer Gunko’s body and consciousness entirely. For now, we still do not know how this technique actually worked, but it resembles yokai lore, connecting Imu to the unnatural transformations seen in the Five Elders.

Imu’s Supreme King Haki in One Piece is so strong that it can easily and instantly incapacitate giants and powerful warriors, leaving only the elites conscious. When they choose to use this power on someone, they lose control over themselves and transform into a demon-like creature.

For now, fans have been talking about its Domi Revsersi powers, and the worst use of this ability was shown during the God Valley Incident we saw Rocks being one of the victims of this power. He had to be stopped, or else he was about to destroy everything. Now, chances are the same Domi Reversi powers are being used on Harlad in Elbaf, and things might spiral beyond control in the story.

Oda has continued to shock the fandom by revealing a partial form of Imu, and this was enough to send everyone into a frenzy. Fans are currently speculating on what is the true size of this character, and according to a popular speculation, it has been suggested that Imu is two to three times larger than Loki and possibly comparable in scale to the Elbaph tree itself.

The true final villain has finally stepped into the light in One Piece

After looking at how things are about to conspire in One Piece Chapter 1168, it is becoming clear that Imu is not just the final villain of the series; they are the embodiment of everything that is wrong with their world. This character has been the mastermind who has been in control over the last 800 years of their world, and things need to be stopped.

For the first time, thanks to the chaos at Egghead and the war tearing through Elbaph, we are seeing Imu making moves and taking the lead. And now that Imu has gotten active, it is cementing the fact that the Final Saga of One Piece has truly begun, and the foundation of the Straw Hats meeting this formidable foe is getting near.
