After so many years of listening to this disembodied voice, I just assumed he was one of the top one piece youtubers. Its wild thinking he is still growing as a channel.

[@shyschultz1786]

He's not as consistent as others, which unfortunately is very important in this industry, because I think Joy boy is one of the best. He focuses on his book pretty often instead of KZbin. Which reminds me I need to go buy the book lol

[@mrbubbles6468]

He is one of the top. Most are way smaller and the ones that are bigger just blew up to absurd sub channels because they hir the algo just right.

I grew up christian, and one of the quotes I was told was, "the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he doesn't exist." I think Oda may be playing on this saying with Imu.

[@orbboom6119]

The greatest fear we have is the unknown after all

[@imanicarter7279]

I can’t lie that’s the issue with Christianity itself. There is too much that’s not even in the Bible that’s commonly considered cannon. Like what’s called hell was originally a place called Gehenna which was a real city. Also descriptions from Dante’s inferno are taken literally when it’s just a piece of fiction. In my opinion the entire New Testament is just a thing made up to control people. The Nicaean council didn’t have people’s enlightenment or best interest in mind. They just wanted control.

[@RagnarDracobrother]

I agree with basically everything here. The one this i have a difference with is that I think luffy is the sun, imu is the moon, and blackbeard is the dark emptiness of space. Luffy is associated with the sun because light and how you can only pursue your dreams while youre awake and take action. Imu is associated with the moon because of nightmares and how they happen during the night when light is low so your vision is manipulated much like how imu is manipulating the truth. And blackbeard is the greedy all consuming darkness that is trying to go after both the sun and the moon in its voracious appetite just like how darkness can encompass everything, blackbeard greed will never be sated until he has everything

[@xxdragonrenderxx]

The fact that karibu is like luffies barto is all the proof we need that blackbeard has the opposite god fruit

[@user-rh2ou1tf2s]

We can consider this as Sabo's greatest feat so far but I think the main reason for his escape is King Cobra's Sacrifice and second being the Gorosei mostly keep their powers and Imu's presence as a secret, so they didnt went all out against Sabo on purpose.. so that no one during the reverie can even barely notice them, though by now.... Wapol... Vivi and all those connected to these two know the truth by now 😂

[@vaulmoremack3072]

@@user-rh2ou1tf2s here is why I cant agree with this.... given the knowledge that sabo just got and how the gorosei operate I dont think going all out would have been that big of a problem as they dont view the lives of others as significant ....

I have long thought that Imu can’t leave the Holy Land. It would make sense for him to make alters for him that could and carry out his will. Especially when it seems likely that the Void Centuary meant they lost their friends that were meant to do so.

[@giannisa134]

Keep on mind that apocalypse is greek for revelation. And in the world of one piece the clock is ticking for a revelation.

Even though Sengoku is the one with the Buddha fruit it is still quite interesting to me that Imu in Katakana is written as イム, whereas the Kanji for Buddha is written as 仏. I cannot get that out of my head. This might hint at him also being a god. Maybe the One Piece is god being made whole again after being split into 3 entities.

Something that i'd like to point out with Imu's transformed form is that it was at least three times bigger than the Gorosei's and even if scales are not usually representative in those scenes where the characters are shadowed, i'd like to believe that Imu's transformation is absolutely massive in size and this would explain why gigantification takes such a big place in the priorities of the world gvt

[@mrbubbles6468]

Something I'd mention about the four horsemen is that the first horseman is War, riding on a white horse. Not the weakest, but rather the one who heralds the other three. The 2nd is Famine, 3rd is Pestilence, and 4th is Death (though I have seen some replace one of the horsemen - typically War - with Time; perhaps that'd be playing a part here with the 5 Gorosei?) * Time = Saturn or Mars * War = Mercury * Famine = Jupiter * Pestilence = Mars or Saturn * Death = Venus

[@ZkN912]

[@curioushaze5484]

Nice of you to drop that video on Good Friday.

[@mr.d.rawlee]

As it stands now i would guess 3 things: 1. What the video was about from the "Imus alters" theory 2. Or i would guess that they are actual demons from a time gaining this power by forming somesort of pact with Imu in order too serve thy ruler of the world. 3. The reason Oda did not write the fruits name only the name of the demons/gods we saw because they reached a form beyond Zoan Type powers. Like "fully mastered UI Goku" and so by reaching this level they only refer too the names witch they manifest in as we can see them. How they look and a characteristics of a Zoan Type DF user such as the black cloud or mist around them, i would say this. Either way the Goroseis are just build different. One could even say that how they behave suggests that: 1. They are so full of them self as Gorosei they think they are superior to everybody 2. They are literaly demons from the underworld only in human forms given by Imu OC Who knows huh.....

[@mj8362]

Joy boy is on fire with these theories None stop for weeks!!

[@TCGZaita]

My personal theory. could imagine such a Final Fantasy 7 plot. That there is an energy source on Earth (Life Stream) and an ancient civilization could harness this energy, possibly giving rise to the Devil's Fruit (Nika) (In Final Fantasy, such Materia is created). This could also explain the energy source that Vegapunk is seeking. Then there was a dispute between Imu and Joyboy over who would eat this fruit. Perhaps the ancestor of Vivi played a crucial role, leading to Joyboy consuming the fruit and Imu betraying the kingdom, killing her, and then, along with other kingdoms, wiping out the lost kingdom together with Joyboy. Currently, Imu might be able to control this energy source. Perhaps the Five Elders are so powerful because they can constantly heal themselves through the power of the energy source and thus are immortal.

[@FatherofElijah]

Blackbeard’s crew. The guy with wings and doesn’t have his backstory mentioned at all, the flying guy. He could be part of IMU as well.

[@ep1phany616]

I think Imu might be a kraken who can use its squid ink to create beings like the gorosei just like a mangaka’s pen would. The gorosei and imu “erase” history/people by scribbling them out with ink, just like scribbling out and erasing Lulusia, covering eveything with darkness, like a mangaka scribbling out their work. They’re scared of nika since he is made of rubber like a true eraser and can reset everything to a normal, like a mangaka’s blank white page, white like the nika form. Maybe that was a tentacle rather than a demon tail.

[@Alexgiovanez]

beautiful and better than other vids continue actual fictional analysis

[@gooze4781]

the gorosei are of the same nature as the ancient weapons, is not coincidence that they are name as the first 5 planets (without earth) and the ancient weapons are the last 3, mercury, venus, mar, jupeter and saturn, poseidon which is a living being (neptune) uranus that I think the giant robot is related because in the last chapter someone said that he looks like a titan walking through hell (in the myth he imprisoned his children in hell) and pluton which might as well be a living being, he is the counter part of hades who is the God of the underworld, and pluton is currently under wano and the fact that the gorosei are in some extent, inmortals, they have to be ancient too. elder is on their names.

[@user-jg2kd4uf3r]

The correspondence between horsemen and major antagonist lackies is always 👌. From Flamingo Officers to Kaido's Calamities. Although the ministries of Gorosei appeal to the thematic very well , I am firm enthusiast that the horsemen in the story will be Teach's Captains. Van Auger, Shillew, Laffite and Doc Q seem to be drawn like a medieval maniscript of Apocalypse.

[@Miss_Yonko]

Hear me out… it’s possible that at Saturn also experimented on the nika fruit lineage factor after 1st joyboy was killed but before it respawned elsewhere. They could have nika-ish abilities, just not as freely as the actual joyboy. Which means have more experience with their lesser nika abilities tho than actual joyboy. TOUGH fight for old hanuman

[@AH-wy6nr]

I feel like people manifested their wants and died and their power turned into a devil fruit. They just havent died yet.

[@TheOne11111]

Your theory is Amazing. I learned a lot of real life history, religious, math and political while watching One Piece theory videos. LOL 🤣

[@sauldmark7942]

my head canon is that imu and the gorosei use the the frozen chambers of mariejois as part of the immortality operation and it's tied to the planets somehow. 7 chambers. 7 celestial bodies in clovers model. Imu and 5 gorosei leaves room for one more elder star if they use the moon and I tink Figarland Garling is next in line for the operation, and the likely donor body will be eithe r Luffy or Blackbeard. The bodies in the chambers absorb all the damage given to the gorosei, kinda like dorian greys portrait. so the only way to defeat Imu and the gorosei is to destroy the bodies in the chambers. what is needed is a raid on mariejois.

[@sevi7301]

I find the idea that the gorosei are somewhat shapeless creatures pretty interesting. In their animal form their eyes look as if there was no soul in it, as if they were an empty shell. So them beeing an invetion that is filled with purpouse and life by imu as the devil seems really plausible to me.

[@JoyBoyTheories]

[@PKINGU]

Great I need something to procrastinate with

[@brond.8009]

My theory is that the Gorosei really are animals that ate human fruits, and that the human/devils' will/haki supplanted the animal's will. Chopper is an animal that ate a human zoan fruit, Luffys devil fruit is revealed to be a zoan fruit and upon awakening it is explicitly referred to as Joyboy returning, which reinforces the theme of Inherited will but implies that all devil fruits offer a form of immortality. Sabo ate Aces' fire logia fruit and uses Aces' attacks somehow. As for the tusk turning into blades, I assume it is something similar to Bonney accessing Sun God Nikas power via a distorted future or similarly Chopper adding greater variety to his devil fruit via rumble balls. Chopper's devil fruit grants him his normal deer form, a human form, and his 50/50 form, yet Chopper went on to add more forms, his Monster Point sticks out like a sore thumb. Choppers' Monster point looks like a giant Leshen, which is a mythical creature I would put on par with the monsters that the Gorosei turn into. Basically, the monsters we see the Gorosei turn into are all in their own respective "monster point". if we then assume that they are all awakened zoans it could also explain their durability as that was explained by crocodile back in impel down.

The formless illustration of the gorosei during the clash with sabo reminds me of Kanjuro when he was a child. And also the fire monster he drew

[@PortagazDYoung]

People forget that Imu has a servant other than the 5 gorosie

[@Matthiass721]

Only 5 minutes in so maybe JB makes this point, but the gorosei being actual yokai in some form could have been foreshadowed by the spirit fox in wano which was implied to be an actual sentient mythical creature.

[@StrawHatKufi]

I think Luffy reprsents the 1 or Neo if you will. Hes the Luci (Rebecca voice) D. Monkey in the dream of OP Imu is the 0 or the Void Sentry Blackbeard would be the 8 representing duality, moreso with his two devil fruits. Solid video per usual JB :D

[@BlackHawk3927]

The Moria comparison is a pretty accurate and interesting take

[@Moe_Posting_Chad]

Been watching for the last several months. Really like it when you use the soundtrack for.... FTL (almost forgot the name)

[@cassandrafiscus9192]

Idea that I thought of when the summoning was brought up: all of the Strawhats were sent where they would grow the most, and you can see why they would be sent there except for Brook, who was sent to a summoning circle. Could Kuma have known something about the summoning circle and sent the only Strawhat who could be mistaken for a demonic pressence there in an attempt of stopping something involving the powers of the elders? Maybe they get more powerful when worshipped/respected and trying a summoning like that would be enough to be worshipped/respected?

[@user-jg2kd4uf3r]

In Eastern Philosophical Alchemy(or something among those lines) is is believed that individual with strong Duality of soul (can be attributed to Blackbeard as well) hence the destructive tendeties of Imu but also the need for Balance through the Gorosei. Anyway the soul has 5aspects which can have a correlation to the FiveStar I guess. Shen (Mind), Yi(Intellect) , Hun (Ethereal Soul), Po(Corporeal Soul) and Zhi ( Will-Power). If I were fit them , it would be Jubiter, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Mars.

[@Rizarealm]

One small detail, Blackbeard never was represented by the moon, moon provides light when the sun is absent, that is Zoro. Zoro steps up when Luffy is overwhelmed. Blackbeard is represented by a black hole, he wants to consume the world into his darkness. He absorbed a sun already (Ace) and will eventually will try with Luffy.

[@DARKSIDEXIII]

The thing you said about the 6 altars of Imu might be possible. In chapter 908 there was a person that came in to the butterfly room to tell Imu that the 5 elders were on their way to to meet Imu. Now we don't know who the person is but it's someone else that knows of Imu's existence.

[@kodytiffany5686]

I like the idea. I still feel that Tot Musica is a truth from the movie and will 100% show up in cannon but either Brook or BB will replace Uta in being the one connected to it. In the case of BB it makes sense that he have a DF directly related to dreams as the initial DF of his and that's why he seems like more than one person. Because he is like Envy from FMAB. He cannot sleep because his DF devours his capacity to suffer exhaustion of any kind preventing his access to dreams themselves. So he pursues other dreams like a moth to the flame. The Brighter the better and so controlling the world is about as ambitious as you can get. If its Brook then the reason he lived is because his DF sealed Tot Musica into him; the Affro is Tot Musica in the sealed form... I know sounds like a joke but its serious because we know how much the Affro means to him. So like with Merry if a decision to sheer it or burn it or something came up it would be rough. Sorry Brook but to save the world we must slay your hair before its unsealed and destroys us all. Affro Luffy could be an allusion to how important an Affro would be to the story. But I seriously believe the BB connection more.

[@darkenvoy9991]

This was deep

[@ManArkham]

i honestly have been thinking of a reverse idea, oda tends to lile flipping things. not saying its this has reason but what if imu is the inverse of the satellites? what if they created imu and it took control? a creation that takes power is a concept i enjoy

[@Miss_Yonko]

Imu is freddy Krueger confirmed 😂

[@ZorusSerif]

I more so feel like the stretching could have just been him being turned into rubber for a second but I could be wrong

[@mikwing17]

Imu being the Demon King of the sea while DF created through desires or dreams. The DF were created to fight Imu and as the Sea Devil Imu used the power of the sea to cursed the DF users. BB being the moon god makes BB the final villain since the moon controls the sea.

[@jasonmansfield7068]

Tolkien isn’t shy about it at all… Sauron isn’t the “Satan” of his story, more like a powerful demon. (Ironically in a similar way black beard inherited xebec’s will.) The BBEG of the silmarillion is named Morgoth. He is the one who tries to sing alongside allevitar in the beginning.

[@ascultmuzica2536]

Venusjuro being the death could hint at him fighting zoro because he saw death

[@beeloblak]

Im leaning more towards the gorosei are alchemist. Still possible imu posses them or something along those lines

[@JujuToobootie]

If Luffy represents the Sun, Imu represents the sea, & BB the moon then at some point BB may gain control of Imu temporarily. Because the phases/movements of the moon affect the world's oceans. And all of that is due to gravity. Which means Fujitora may be a key part of turning the tides (pun intended) of war since he has the Zushi Zushi no Mi.
