The five elders lining up with the classic star imagery and theory with imu being an onmyodo just makes so much sense im surprised i hadnt heard about it until now. Especially with the silhouette being reminiscent of their traditional garb. I still really like the imu = umi (ie sea) theory since that ties so well thematically to the lore of one piece but with the five elders pretty much being yokai im sold

The Imu = umi theory has *kind of* been killed. It could still be true, but the other big theory of what Imu's name means has been confirmed, so it's less likely. If you weren't aware, Imu is written like a Japanese name for Buddha, and when you add their family name (which we learned recently from Ivankov), you get "God and Buddha," which is a Japanese phrase for "all divine things."

i guess personally, my reason i'm hesitant to write this off as only being a zoan-cloud is that we see saturn has a cloud like this on egghead, but oda deliberately made sure that venus was the only character who had a form with that loop/sash/wrap-around, and no other gorosei had them in that panel. still valid point, but i'm more convinced that the wrap-around is specifically tied to venus's form

I think the big thing at the top likely IS imu. In the 2 panels side by side, the gaping mouth creature is between Saturn and the humanoid one with the cloud wreath. All their other positions are unchanged. And Imu’s eyes being dead center in the back of the second panel you show makes me think he’s the one coming down from the “empty” throne.

One detail I think the English fandom overlooked is that Ushioni was actually brought up in One Piece world long before. The move Zoro used in Enies Lobby, Three-sword style Gyuki Yuuzume. It's the move he used with a silhouette of a bull's head. Gyuki is written 牛鬼 (cow demon), the same words as Ushioni (牛鬼) just a different reading. Zoro's move itself was a pun on Gyugyu-zume which means "cramped together", synonym to sushi-zume. Would fit his riceball theme lol.

There’s a cool manga called nurarihyon no mago that goes into the whole night parade of 100 demons and the omnyodo, including Abe no seimei. It’s a completed manga series and it’s only a few hundred chapters so it’s a pretty quick read. I think you’d enjoy it :)

With your comment about some yokai being mischievous, I thought, maybe some aren’t for fighting. Maybe that’s why they sent Saturn instead of a few of the others. Sure some others may fight but I’m willing to bet maybe two of them are more of support. A bird yokai dropping bombs from way high, staying out of the fight to keep the collective stamina! Maybe another, needless to say I’m hyped for next chapter.

The depictions of onmyodos in your video remind me of a character named Rennala in the game Elden Ring, she pretty much dresses like @05:10 and @05:44, and has comparable headwear. She's said to have been interested in astrology from a young age, after 'an encounter with the moon', and uses magic derived from the moon. (Her full name is Queen Rennala of the Full Moon). She and her family would read the stars to tell the future. But this is where the similarities end, I can't see an event like the yokai parade in the game (which sounds kinda fun).

In the manga panel you can see imu’s eye transform when he’s talking to cobra about lili. You can also see five sets of eyes chasing sabo and one large set of eyes behind them, so I’m 90 percent sure the shadow on the wall is Imu. Totally agree about the salamander though!

I remember the fandom going crazy into Yokai research Saturn's DF form first appeared. People saw he was a yokai, then went back to the sabo vs imu and gorosei chapter and speculated what yokai the others could be. It was really fun to see what everyone's suggestions were. The "Where the Wild Things Are" theory was really interesting when e just got the sabo vs them chapter. But now its moreso yokai inspired.

i have a silly little theory for what v.nusjuro might be? after i saw the shroud on his shadow silhouette i was also thinking 'oh maybe divinity of some kind?' but not necessarily one from japanese folklore/religion, but maybe a deva from hinduism, specifically shukra. shukra is the deity/god of venus and has connections to wealth, luxury, basically any kind of material well-being, which matches perfectly with v.nusjuro and his title as god of finance. interestingly, all the other elders also have deva counterparts in terms of planetary alignments, though none of their secondary connections match with their elder titles. this is probably just a cultural overlap of venus the planet being associated with wealth in various cultures, but still just something that stuck out to me. another interesting thing about shukra is that he was blessed with the knowledge of what is essentially resurrection, which could be how saturn keeps regenerating? the elders' telepathic link isnt explained, but perhaps it extends beyond just telepathy and actually enables v.nusjuro to heal him from afar? granted, saturn is also healing from non-lethal wounds, so that wouldn't really count as resurrection, but i can definitely see it being extended in that way. just as far as i can tell, ushi-oni aren't known for being able to regenerate, so the source of the regeneration being one of the other elders makes sense to me (same as how i think the telepathic link is also one of the other elders' ability). granted, this theory is kind of cobbled together and it hinges a lot on the assumption that v.nusjuro does draw inspiration (at least visually) from gandhi, who was a follower of hinduism. i'm definitely also influenced by the thought that if we were to match up each of the elders with a straw hat to fight, v.nusjuro being zoro's opponent would be a given, considering that he's the only swordsman of the elders. shukra here actually also has a very interesting connection, since he is the teacher of the asuras. the difference here is obviously shukra being a hindu deity, whereas zoro's asura is the buddhist version. oda has included different versions of the same deity/concept from religions that are connected/parallel each other before though, most obviously pluton, poseidon and uranus all being greco-roman deities. there could also be a link between v.nusjuro serving a god in imu vs zoro's 'i dont believe in god' perspective (which from my understanding does somewhat align with the differences in hindu and buddhist beliefs), though i feel like thats stretching it. the shroud also does look like the one that comes with an awakened zoan devil fruit, but as someone else pointed out, none of the other elders had it in their silhouettes, which seems like a specific distinction that oda made. could also just be that v.nusjuro does just have a humanoid yokai devil fruit, and having him just be some dude in the silhouette would be a lil boring lol this could all be nothing but i had fun doing a lil bit of research. hopefully we get to see the elders' forms soon, please oda, preferrably next chapter ;-;

There is entity we seen before that match Imu, The entity is at the end of Thriller Bark those large unknown ominous entity lurking in the fog of the Florian Triangle.

A part of me wonders if the Gorosei could also be partially inspired by another anime and manga, Saint Seiya aka Knights of the Zodiac. In that, we have 5 knights with constellation powers all serving their own goddess Athena, and defending her from other villainous gods. And since the Gorosei all have some ties to astronomy due to their names, I just wonder if there's more parallels there. But, yeah, Saturn is almost certainly inspired by the Ushi-Oni yokai, there's just too many similarities to say otherwise. But, there IS also a spider constellation, Auriga. Auriga is based on a Greek hero who supposedly invented the chariot, so he does fit "scientific defense". The other Gorosei are all kind of hard to make out just with their silhouettes. And there's a possibility that they're all based on different mythologies from around the world. But, if they are all yokai, my best guesses are... Furaribi (Fire bird)-Marcus Mars. There's a BUNCH of fire elemental bird-like things in mythology. But...this one's actually a Yokai. Inosasaou (Wood Bamboo Boar)-Shephard Ju Peter. For some reason, this isn't listed in a lot of the OTHER online Yokai lists. But, I think it's a "real" Yokai, and not just one made up for video games. Umibozu (Water Spirit)-Topman Warcury, It could be some other water yokai, but this fits the "blob" we saw in silhouette. Although, a Hanzaki (Giant Water Salamander) could also fit. I kind of want Topman to be the "Tusks", but since his element is water, I can't find a lot of yokai that fit. Ju Peter just fits the "Tusks" better, I think. Otakemaru (Sword wielding Oni)-Ethan Baron V Nusjuro. Of note, he wielded Three Holy Swords but gave 2 of them away....which reminds me of Zoro. Aka Shita (Dark Cloud Red Tongue)- Imu. It kind of makes for Imu to be a cloud, that covers the Sun that is Nika. Although, I am tempted to predict that Imu could be a Ryuto, a light dragon, just because that would be neat. And they might ALL be based on Onryo (Dark vengeful spirits) or Goryo (Vengeful spirits...that end up worshiped as gods in order to appease them). So they might be people who were wronged somehow long ago. You'll notice, I also tried to work in one of the five eastern elements into their yokai. Since, I do think it's likely they'll each have some elemental powers. Like how Saturn uses the "gravity" of the Earth to keep people frozen in place. Some other yokai that would just be fun for Oda to draw: Maneki-Neko (Beckoning cat)-imagine V Nusjuro throwing around coins like a Meowth using payday. Sazae Oni (Clam-faced tentacle monster). Waniguchi (Gong-faced alligator) Nue (Monkey-Tiger) Gashadokuro (Giant Skeleton). Kamaitachi (Sickle Weasel) Kurobozu (Shadow monk zombie) Katsura Otoko (Crescent Moon vampire)

i've been thinking and there must be something else we don't know about imu that would make the people in the world turn against him. i don't think learning that imu is the king of the world is enough. im thinking that any country affiliated with imu enters into some kind of devil contract where imu basically owns their soul. only something like that can make people of the world turn against him. could be why elbaf and wano never bothered to become part of the world government since they know what it means. i also think the gorosei sold their souls to the devil(imu) to be granted eternal life and likely their indestructibility.

Hey Ms. Napier, I think this may help with your pronunciation of Japanese words Unlike in English, vowels do not change in how they're pronounced, they can get elongated, or cut short however. The vowels A, I, U, E, O are pronounced like: A is pronounced like the a in "Bach" so like an Ah I is pronounced like our letter e such as e-mail U is pronounced like the oo in ooze E is pronounced like the e in elephant O is pronounced like the o in owe or oars :)

If this is a Hyakki Yako, then Imu should be Nurarihyon, not Abe no Seimei.

This is one of the best Imu theories I've seen so far. I didn't even think of this and I honestly kinda want it to happen. For a while now I was thinking that Imu was literally the devil (in the sense that he may be the opposite of mother nature and therefore the opposite of Umi) and that his body and the Gorosei are all hosts for devils (or maybe Imu's currently possessing Lili's body). Like I thought that this type of power may be the source of all devil fruit powers and possibly even haki (due to some black lightning). Maybe the Celestial Dragons' native cleansing murder festivals are secretly a sacrificial ritual for these devils. But yeah I think I like this Imu being a Onmyodo theory a bit more than what I thought would be the case.

Fun fact: Wadatsumi was referred to as an Umibozu by multiple characters, meaning the concept exists in the world. And therefore probably also an Umibozu mythical zoan!
