Whats the significance of this country having a pentagram?

Probably the Imu's home country that he abandoned to go create the World Government. Could very well just be the origin of the pentagrams and something that was stolen prior to the Void Century. No way to tell yet.

I think Nika and Imu are Adam and Eve.
In that Imu is actually the shadow of Nika that took her own form and became alive in the void century. So when taking Joyboy’s body, Joyboy’s body is morphed to have Imu’s face.

Kaido is just comparatively weak. Luffy was losing, but still he could put up a fight against him in G4, unimaginable versus the likes of Kizaru or Gorosei. Kaido seemed durable because he was mostly fighting shitters. Only 3 were ACoC users, and Zoro used it all of once.

Does Imu change the environment around him as just a side effect of his power? Or is it a necessity?
I'm imagining that he needs to turn the trees and the houses around him into demons and always have that little ring of flame around him as protection so he doesn't fucking die being in the lower world

The air outside of the palace is probably poisonous to him or some shit. That's why the elders were shitting their pants.

Too small. He looks to be roughly Lunarian size in hybrid form. As it was explained for Nidhogg, your other forms change relative to your base size. So a Lunarian with a fruit that makes you gigantic (as we've seen versus Sabo) would be giant sized as a hybrid. Yeah, yeah, I know, Oda and scaling, but he still consistently puts hybrid Imu well in-between normal humans and normal giants.

Luffy's stamina issues are so Oda can let the plot happen without Luffy being present. For some reason Oda just doesn't feel other characters can have moments during big events if Luffy isn't down for the count.

For once I think we can safely assume the hair is white or blonde at least. Unlike Garling, Loki, or Gunko he clearly belongs to a certain archetype so it's an easy guess.

Did you know that the Jewish God (and subsequently the Christian god) aka. Yahweh/YHWH was one of many gods in the Levantine tradition long before being the central figure of the Jewish (and later Christian) faith. He was associated primarily with thunder, rain, mountains and natural phenomena. Yahweh was basically based on the Levantine storm god Hadad/Baal (which is why he's rejected in the Bible, to later take distance in such "pagan" Gods), and he was merged with the Canaanite creator-god El, before he became the sole figure of a new monotheistic religion.
This fits Imu, as he's apparently one of the original 20 ("out of many, one"), turning one pf the several "pagan" gods into one in Jehova/Imu.
(Pagan in this context is of course a negative connotation instead of a neutral one, as we assume the original 20 kings to be the "Bad" guys.)
So ultimately, this is a "Nordic God" with thunder powers versus a "Jewish God" based on another god of thunder.
And Loki is seen as a trickster, an imposter etc. whic traditionally is a negative connotation, but in this instance Loki is the villain only in the eyes of Imu and his ilk, aka. an "enemy of the god(s)".
There's themes of paganism vs. organized religion seen here, whether Oda intended for them or not, and simultaneously there's an "imposter" in Imu/Jehova who has pagan origins but is the "One true God", flawless due to his flaws being hidden and forgotten, and an imposter theme in Loki being a true pagan god who has been seen as flawed and evil despite not being such.

More like he adapts the number of rings depending on how close to his face the camera is.
What's funny to me is that he's already starting to simplify the eye by gathering several rings together to make it more expressive (and understandably so because those ring eyes are a bitch to draw, sure you can make it obvious where Imu looks but you can't express surprise or any expression with a lot of eye white). I suspect that by the end of the rac Imu will just have regular Mihawk eyes.

Imu is white, but his Devil's fruit powers hybrid form he is in right now turns his skin red. We have ZERO proof he is a Lunarian. Anyone claiming Imu's skin is brown or him being a Lunarian are exposing themselves as browns, and thus also illiterate.

Not big enough. Exact scaling in OP is hopeless, but he's much bigger than Zoro (1.8m) and much smaller than Gerd (17m), so he's probably something like 6m or 8m. Lunarians are big to begin with. So with a zoan for something gigantic, they'd already be few times bigger in the hybrid form, so you should expect a Lunarian with that fruit to be giant-sized at least.

They are.
Joy Boy is a figure in Caribbean folklore, often cited from The Encyclopedia of Things That Never Were, who originated from West African slaves. This mythological Joyboy acts as a spirit of joy and liberation, curing sorrow by drumming.
The legend is said to have been brought to the Caribbean by enslaved West Africans, acting as a symbol of hope and freedom.
Folklore describes Joyboy as curing humanity's troubles by beating a drum, prompting dancing and singing to cast off despair.

Forgive the Lunarian pushers, it's the only example they have in this series of dark skin character with wings. They don't know that this is just a black and white manga and that Imu could be any dark color.
And that they ignored his devil tail and markings.
And that they forget that the wings were conjured by Omen flame.

Glad someone else noticed this. I commented last year I think that Oda has a problem where each arc he introduces something wacky that stands out at first, but then he makes that his new standard for all art going forward, resulting in the world becoming sillier and sillier looking. Whole Cake was a major turning point, and the Beast Pirates in particular almost completely lost their pre-WCI threat as a result.
>>
>>287515933
Anon, we saw the silhouette of the form he used against Sabo, and it was fucking gigantic, in league with the transformed Gorosei or bigger. That's the fully transformed form of his. The form he uses in his day to day life is relative to fucking Gunko who is normal human sized. What in this set-up looks like a full transformation and what looks like a hybrid form?

I actually prefer Imu's facial appearance this chapter compared to the end of the last one, where he looked like too much of a pretty boy. Imu this chapter looks more eerie and creepy, like there's something off about him, and I can more easily imagine him to have been Blobmu all along.

Imu cannot be a representation of Yahweh for the following reasons: Oda is a Freemason, and the characters he represents in stories written by Freemasons have the following characteristics: fascist Darwinist ideology, association with dinosaurs, dragons, giants, and orcs, fascist/Nazi aesthetics, never appears gay or a bishonen, edgy and fashionable, masculine and imposing look, addicted to alcohol, pro-science enthusiast, in Masonic stories Lucifer is an anti-tech Luddite, Uncle Ted, an anarchist primitivist

No I just can't stand people who dress to look affluent, superior, to blend into a social group, to work, and/or to look trustworthy but have no taste. Which is 99% of people wearing suits. The 1% remaining being fashionistos and sapeurs who do it for the love of the game, which I respect.
It might as well be the uniform of capitalists, imperialists, and conmen at this point. If there was a button to erase all people who wear suits from the world I would push it and then make the same button for people who wear jeans with white shirts.

Gonna reshare my observation from a few threads back on how Imu's revealed state resembles a hybrid of the "Big Three" Pirate Emperors, which has grown stronger in this chapter:
>Wields a glaive, has pale hair and makes the world shake in his prescence like Whitebeard
>appearance mixes masculine and feminine traits, causes inanimate matter to come to life like Big Mom
>horned and demonic and extremely serious like Kaidou while strongly resembling his right hand man Alber
And now:
>clearly in the same 20 something to 30 something foot tall height range as all three and many similar / related players

Well, it's not like they're going back to fighting Imu. The powered-up GKs strength is really undeterminable as of now. If Killingham beats Jinbe easily or something like that, it will set him up as powerful, but until then they're not necessarily much stonger than Yonko commanders.

In 1179 Imu's official title is "Saint Nerona Imu." To me that sounds like he's a saint in servitude to a specific god, or as the Bible's use of the term, he's a believer or worshiper of a specific god.

Because power ups don't always make you exponentially stronger in this series. Like Zoro in Skypiea, long range slashes added utilities, but it's not like he jumped 2 tiers in power levels. Could be something like that. Sanji doesn't even have CoC yet.

Eagle-kun, all CDs have been introduced as "Saint" since the very beginning.
It's not the english word saint anyways, but 聖, so it comes with an entirely different bagage.
>a very virtuous or godly person; a saint
>(honorific) the emperor
>a sage
> an expert; someone distinguished in their field
>a virtuous or high-ranking Buddhist priest or monk
>a Buddhist priest or monk in general
Like all CDs he's called "saint" because he's a god. Just think of all instances of Sei as "Divine" or "God" rather than parallels with catholic saints or any human worshipping a higher existence.

Appreciate your response. I know all CDs are called "Saint," but I thought it was significant that the 'king of the world' would also be given that title, which in some contexts implies servitude, submission, or faith in a higher power. Multiple of your interpretations of "saint" (sage, monk, priest) still carry that connotation, in my opinion. I would have assumed if all the CDs are "saints," then their leader would be their "god," not just another saint.

Meh I wouldn't be so certain about that. They're mostly used in a buddhist context and buddhist don't worship the Buddha like catholics monks worship god. They don't pray to ask for favors or anything, so I doubt there is a notion of serving god either. I could be wrong though, I'm not a buddhist.
>I would have assumed if all the CDs are "saints," then their leader would be their "god," not just another saint.
Yeah that surprised me too. But in the end I suppose it just means that Imu sees himself as part of the group. CDs clearly respect him, but not as more of a god than they believe themselves to be. Which is crazy but oh well

He never got the chance. Kinemon causterized the would on Kiku which would make it rather hopeless, then the arm just laid there for hours in the battlefield and we don't know what became of it. Gerd's fingers and Stansen's leg also suffered a clean blade cut.

What. Only Whitebeard arguably has that but even he flat out just says it's to pay for his drinks. Kaido was a kid who had a new toy and wanted to try it out.

* See Jimbe and Fishman Island and a thousand other examples
*2 See Kiku being beautiful and valid
*3 See the other Okama and how hideous they are
*4 See how protection of beautiful women is prioritized and how Sanji (and even Zoro) are portrayed as in the right
*5 See all the fanservice/Oda's coom brain/Sanji being treated as relatable.
*6 See Luffy and Usopp being disappointed by the Elbaf kids, Harald going too far.
*7 Harald being treated as having his heart in the right place.
*8 The Elbaf kids pacifism seems to go along with PC like anti-offense language which doesn't fit the idea of the manga that pirates are cool and pirates are rough and rody.
*9 Luffy is essentially an existentialist anarchism figure without directly having an ideology himself. His values are based on his freedom, yet he wishes to be the Pirate King because a king is most free. He wants to be the one to eat the meat. Very Max Stirner like. Good Kings in One Piece also seem to be a bit absent and not do much, which is reminiscent of Tolkien's "anarcho-monarchism".
*10 The one thing good kings do seem to do is care for the poor, and there is an undercurrent of anti-rich elite in One Piece. The revolutionaries are inspired by Che Guevara partially. However, it doesn't seem to be anti-market economy per se in an explicit way. Oda's views on economics are likely left of center social-democratic but he admires communist revolutionaries for their aura.
*11 The manga is also not anti-monarchist. It tends to be restorationist in many but not all cases. The revolutionary army who are clearly a good side faction are anti-Celestial Dragon but not anti-elite or traditional power per se. They even view certain kings as good, and Dragon was angry Cobra died. Also Vivi cute.
>>
>>287518514
This looks like schizo posting at a glance but is actually rather cogent on a full read. Regarding the very first asterisked point, it must be understood that Oda's "anti-racism" is of the flavour that used to be pushed by the political left and was beloved of centre-right leaning libertarians, but which is now largely disfavoured by almost all major political factions today. He's strictly against hereditarian privilege, racial or otherwise (hence the CDs) but clearly acknowledges that race is a reality and plays up the differing traits and specialisations of the races, including both strengths and weaknesses alike.
