🚨 THE #ONEPIECE THEORY THAT WILL RUIN YOU: Is Imu just Eiichiro Oda’s version of Griffith? 🧵👇
We all know IMU is the ultimate shadow ruler of OnePiece. But what if his origin story is a direct mirror to the darkest moment in manga history? #BERSERK
1️⃣ THE JOY BOY BETRAYAL (The "Guts" Connection)
In Berserk, Griffith sacrificed his closest bond with Guts for a kingdom.The current manga lore heavily implies Imu and Joyboy were incredibly close 800 years ago. Imu’s current obsession and hatred toward Luffy/Joyboy’s legacy feels deeply personal. It’s pure Griffith-level resentment.
2️⃣ THE VOID ECLIPSE (The Ultimate Sacrifice)
How did Imu get immortal? How did he become a literal god?
Imu was just one of the 20 Kings. To gain supreme power, he didn't just lead he BETRAYED and sacrificed or brainwashed the other 19 rulers to claim the Empty Throne and the Immortality Operation alone. A literal Eclipse.
3️⃣ THE "APOSTLE" FIVE ELDERS
Look at the Five Elders. They aren't just politicians. When they fight, they transform into literal, horrific demonic beasts. They don't act like normal Devil Fruit users, they act like Griffith’s Apostles monsters who traded humanity for power under a dark god.
4️⃣ THE FALSE PARADISE (Falconia vs. Mariejois)
Griffith rules Falconia a beautiful, white, perfect utopia built on hidden demonic horrors. Imu rules Mariejois a pristine, holy city above the clouds, built on a foundation of genocide, slavery, and erased history.
THE CONCLUSION?
Oda is a massive manga fan. He knows the weight of Berserk. If Imu’s flashback shows them sacrificing his best friend (Joy Boy) for the throne, it will be the most devastating backstory in One Piece history.

ROMANCE DAWN
MONKEY D.PAO THE MAN TO BECOME THE KING OF THIVES .
Oda's original plan with Romance Down with Monkey D. Pao embarking on a journey of conquering the seas and becoming the King of Thieves
and that changed to One Piece with the young pirate named Monkey D. Luffy who will become the Pirate King
and here begins the confusion and thousands of theories, many theories , let's cooking
The Romance Down Trio is Luffy, Nami, and Zoro right?
but after the actual One Piece chapters of the actual manga there are references to the Void Century
for a forgotten trio of JOYBOY. IMU. NEFERTARI D. LILY
we can say call it Romance Down Origins? maybe
and here begins one of the many theories about the original Luffy, namely Monkey D. Pao, so that JOYBOY becomes the man who will become the first pirate and the most powerful of all time, that is, with the standard design of Monkey D. Pao , the reason becomes, based on the theory, the Legendary Pirate JOYBOY the forgoten Hero
What to you thing guys?
