Imu is Joy Boy! The BIGGEST SECRET of the Void Century

Imu and Joy Boy are the two most mysterious characters in One Piece right now. Have you ever considered the possibility that they could be one person? I know, it may sound impossible, but in this video, you will see a few hints from the Void Century and historical context that may change your mind about Imu being Joy Boy. At least, I am sure you will enjoy it!

Once one piece has concluded we will need to revisit all of these predictions / explanations and create a proper analysis for the entire series. It's a masterfully written story, which in turn sparks many creative theories about how deeply Oda has woven known mythological figures, symbolism, and foreshadowing into the narrative. I'm sure entire courses will be taught on this story one day. This surely has to be one of the greatest works of fiction ever written.

[@D0p3of09]

Your theory gave me chills because I was also reading a theory about Left and Right Eyes now I think The Nika fruit formed because of Joy boys will being split in 2 and the evil side reigned and the good side was trapped in a DF

[@hervinquintanilla5112]

How is imu heartless if he cares about the feelings of butterflies?

[@luffy-nika-joyboy]

Zunesha already told us that joyboy is back Joyboy is nika - The warrior of liberation Who will come dancing on the heart beat rhythm

[@ryankwon8785]

Nika is a legend that became a reality in a devil fruit. Joy Boy is likely a title, not the actual name of the person. It's like saying the Jedi are back when Luke appears in Return of the Jedi. Luke is called a Jedi by his friends and enemies but that is not his real name.

[@luffy-nika-joyboy]

I would say you are partially correct especially after the knowledge bestowed upon us by latest chapter . Nika - the legend of elbaf (powers in devil fruit) , chooses its host where there is a need for liberation . We cannot really say whether joyboy was a title or a name, but as per vegapunk joyboy was the person born in void century and had powers like nika

[@ryankwon8785]

@@luffy-nika-joyboy I agree with the belief that devil fruits choose their hosts and are likely to leave their hosts if the hosts do not adhere to the devil fruit's nature anymore. I mean devil fruits conveniently have hosts that befit their nature.

[@emiyayt707]

This video is very interesting. You make great points

[@jeffiroth2794]

I've been thinking this too. Great theory. Joyboy that turned evil.

[@deniscusack7602]

I can’t help but think Mihawk is somehow related to Imu judging from their eyes

[@Lyu-Phy]

They both also appear to be lonely at the top or unchallenged. I think there is a connection as well in some shape or form atleast. Mihawk was also the first character the strawhats met who obliterated them, showing the scale of power in the one piece world and Zoro still has to overcome him.

[@whatdoinamethischannel9749]

imu cannot be joyboy because there can only be one joy boy like how there can only be one of each devil fruit user at a time

[@quentinbraddock146]

I agree and plus Imu should have the hito hito no mi

[@dfile7598]

Good video. But if Imu & the Joy Boy from the Void Century were the same person, then I do wonder if the division was done by someone who had Law's Devil during that period.

[@mrbubbles6468]

It’s highly suggested Imu has had the surgery and Doffy said he would nead both powers of Law’s fruit to take over the world…

[@tainabrowne1359]

Awesome theory bro

[@captainzee55]

Seems like imu is a man since he got a male va Takehito who voiced as kuzan toji and dio who have deep and manly type of a voice

[@royalgelly8948]

Imu voiced by the same VA as DIO? Oh hell nah his power really is Timestop.

[@user-rh2ou1tf2s]

Which episode is it?

[@lazycatt1230]

Kephri is also a boss in the game oldschool runescape, a giant scarab beetle, you can use a weapon on it called the "keris partisan of the sun" and it has special effects. Kinda cool how diff media takes inspiration.

[@alestanealonraskin6155]

break week going well as expected

[@mitchellty]

😂😂

[@mokaljordan]

I dont think the IM U( i am u) forshadow works based on imu's name as its written as Im but is enunciated as imu and Imu refers to themselves as mu when he/they spoke to cobra so if anything it would be I mu, so imu got a double pronoun thing going on as a quirk it seems(imu might be a child or teen). Im could be a reference to Imhotep as theres a manga called Im:Great Priest Imhotep, Imu could be a former follwer of the Sun God Nika or Joyboy and something went wrong/ he betrayed him and could explain why saturn has regen since Imhotep was known to be a god of medicine supposedly

[@sonnyuzumakii]

Bro you get me on every video now I’ll fuck with you heavy

[@zimmy9239]

I like this theory very nice research.

[@user-yc9vv9xb8s]

Black leg do you believe joy boy is a giant in the past the strongest, most powerful race ever of all time in the history of one piece

[@kamikaze.33]

I know you didn't ask me but I personally don't believe that. I don't even believe the strawhat at Marygeois is even big, but rather, I'm in the camp that believes Imu is just very, very small and the strawhat just looks huge next to him. We don't get any other frame of reference to compare its size to, and in the chapter where we see Imu sitting in the empty throne, unless the throne is huge, Imu looks like a little toddler in that chair. Not to mention, the swords in the ground in front of him seem to be as big, if not bigger, than Imu himself. Now, it could just be a weird quirk of Oda's art style, but personally I believe it's a red herring and the strawhat isn't actually large, Imu is just very small...

[@oh3710]

Going off what you said, instead of comparing inu to that hat itself, compare imu to the wanted poster that she has in her hands then compare the posters to the straw hat, to me it seems the straw hat is too small to be a giants hat but too big to be a normal human but it might fit someone like Kuma's dad since he was a buccaneer with a big head (kuma head is a normal human head in buccaneer body)​@@kamikaze.33

[@CaloyEdits]

The Skypiea arc is pretty the reason I keep reading One Piece mostly likely. Without it I could have dropped the series from a lack of interest

[@wg6276]

This is why I cant take ANYONE who didn’t watch/read skypiea seriously. Because more than many others, it’s a key arc in this series that answers, as well as raises, so many questions as we fall deeper into the final saga.

[@Blue07894]

Bro is the king of one piece and history in terms of knowledge ❤❤❤❤❤😂 I mean just how do you do it brother amazing ❤❤

[@dymond_rocco]

I believe tht the one piece as an object is the one sword that is missing or at least the key to the one piece give it a thought maybe video on this or atleast where could the missing weapon be since D. Lili vanished

[@areng5511]

According to imbd website , imu voice actor is same as kuzan, although its not 100 accurate

My Personal Theory of Joy Boy Becoming Imu: After reading Chapter 1113, I think this theory makes a lot of sense. It has been shown that the Fishmen, the Samurai of Wano, the Skypeians, the Shandians, and the Minks live in locations that can survive a worldwide Great Flood. Joy Boy lost faith in his dream to unite the world in equality and only believed the races and people who once worked with him in the past were the only ones worth saving. Thus, he became Imu, established the World Government, and planned to use his resources to eradicate "evil" (Violent Justice).

[@conut217]

ay bro, are you Astro Jack? voice is same

[@mrbubbles6468]

Been saying this since we saw Imu looking at the hat.

[@rscubers2594]

I feel imu was the rival pirate of joyboy and they both belonged to D clan just like Roger and Rocks were in their time and luffy and blackbeard currently

[@TwesomE]

Since in the onepiece universe there are alien races as they confirmed,i believe IMU & the elders which also have their names with planets etc must be from another world! Also the devil fruits might also belong to another place to the universe as well!

[@ifantsaurells3014]

Keep Cookin Brooo

[@SageMagnus]

Imu is not Joy Boy or vice versa. Its confirmed by Vegapunk in chapter 1115 that Joy Boy is deceased, as it was his death that officially ended the Void Century. Also Joy Boy was confirmed to be the first person to have eaten the Hito Hito no Mi: Model Nika devil fruit. And only one devil fruit user can be existence at any time, and we have seen that Imu has an entirely different set of powers altogether when he tried to kill Sabo at Mariejois. Also Joy Boy is literally confirmed to be the worlds first pirate, which means that any chance of Imu being him are gone like the wind. As Joy Boy fought AGAINST the Twenty Kingdoms, he did not ally with them. And the Twenty Kingdoms are the ones who killed him, so there is no way in hell that they would willingly serve the person who tried to prevent the emergence of the World Government.

[@user-zm6sc6sy3w]

Imu really does has some woman hands or am I wrong for saying that 😂

[@adithyank2274]

Imu and enel has lot of similarity both if them can know everything happening at there territory Both can destroy an island in an instant

[@Lemjanmusic]

That'd be corny if imu was jb. Idk how oda would pull that off

[@xXSasukeXx89]

Imo i think imu for one is a nure onna yokai (nerona imu) as we now know that the elders are based on yokais. And i believe imu was someone who was supposedly involved with noah and because joy boy failed to raise noah this could have perhaps led to people dying including the nerona family and this led to imu falling into darkness and having to eat the nure onna yokai fruit giving him serpent abilities and the ability to control water in which he used to raise the water levels to hide everything and drown old islands that were once above sea level. Maybe one piece is a plan to undo what imu did and lower the water levels back to normal or maybe it is something that should change imu’s mind about what happened as it states the whole truth

[@marcelthiel1031]

Good video and theory. I wrote about this theory a year and a half ago. that Imu sama contains 2 different names! 1. I'm U 2. I'm Uranus that would explain the control of the Motherflame Greetings from the 🐇 building greetings from Germany

[@dhruvmarwadi]

I this time they need to give him world record of words and forshadowing master😅😅😅

[@abinjithk7897]

bro a devil fruit can only eatern by one person

[@wg6276]

And it was believed that one person can only possess one devil fruit, but clearly Blackbeard is an exception. That’s what makes this fun, is seeing if exceptions can apply to other specific devil fruits/wielders.

[@tylamcgilverson3923]

0:25 we don't know anything about //Headphones"Low battery"// Huh?

[@Liefgamingyt]

Imagine imu used the eternal youth and lost his or her nika fruit lol in the process

[@seemapatil3029]

what if the gorosei are descendents of celestial dragons,who corrupted imu's mind, turned that entity against joyboy, if the gorosei have mental manipulation powers and are secretly controlling imu, mentally manipulating it to do their work, so that when their deeds become known, they can shift the blame to imu.Also, imu appears only on rare occasions and does not have direct communication with the navy or vegapunk or anyone, but the gorosei have distributed all the powers among themselves and they make imu believe that imu has taken decision independently.We can only see the destruction of lulusia throgh imu's eyes, but we havent yet properly seen the exact use of mechanism of the mother flame or how it is done and we assume that imu destroyed lulusia island. Also, if imu can destroy an island sitting at one place, why did he sent the gorosei to egghead, instead of directly manipulating the communication devices.And vegapunk was really going to reveal something about world government,which was far more a diect threat to world government

[@joe62845]

Interesting

[@kratos250wild8]

The devil fruit will not reincarnate until the user dies so I can't imagine this theory to be correct in any way

[@Logiability]

Imu is joyboy.. hmm.. can be.. and He is that small(permanently) for using too much devil fruit (just like luffy which is temporary).. Being that small, he cant be able to wear the giant strawhat anymore.

[@jeffiroth2794]

I've thought this also.

[@BergmitetheBlueandPointy0712]

Imu, you’re not Mahito.

[@Kibernizzle]

VERY interesting theory, and I did enjoy it, but I don't agree. Appreciate it all nonetheless!

[@sawatmanandhar7762]

what if iimu i swife of joyboy?

[@papajohn7606]

I really like this theory, but I have one big problem with it: Luffy doesn’t embody ultimate and pure good - Kuma does. Luffy can be incredibly selfish and insensitive at times.

[@thushinidharmawardena9590]

my theory is that imu isnt joyboy, but imu is connected to joyboy because imu is 800 years old its kinda weird since joyboy isnt existing anymore but just a reincarnation (luffy) but imu is, and imu visiting the giant strawhat kinda gives this feeling to my gut that joyboy was a giant and imu killed joyboy 800 years ago.

[@sonnyuzumakii]

If anybody has seen the movie pulp fiction the golden case is what I think the one piece represents in my mind who is to even say what the one piece is bro like I don’t even think it’s an object anymore I literally think there will of D💪🏾 or something

[@callumpaton4646]

I guess we will just have to wait till the saga ends to find out the truth as the void century is mysterious I mean what about the other gods if the Nika was the light what were they

[@beejaychristianpadon7984]

IMU and Luffy could have the same face. This might be the reason IMU's face has been hiden all this time. One piece could literally mean that IMU and Luffy is destined to become one and is destined to sit in the empty throne to rule over the world.

[@Dante-fan]

Imu was alive with Joy boy

[@Gogoi-07]

Wow 😲

[@legend_2543]

This still doesn’t explain joyboy apology and when zunesha said joyboy was back as in luffy awakening the fruit like joyboy and inherited his will i believe nika wasn’t actually ever real but was brought into existence because of people dreams wanting this “nika” to become real then joyboy awakened nika fruit

Yeah. I honestly think Imu is the lover of Joyboy and that their story ended in some tragic way.

[@cocofirebird]

Honestly, it would make sense considering Imu wants Vivi. She could be a spitting image of Lily and wants to switch bodies. Crackpot take: The gorosei are Imu's five dads, and their deletion of all traces of Joyboy is to make Imu stop pining over him. "Notice me, Nika-senpai!"
