For some reason the last 10 seconds of audio have been cut. Imu is probably a mythical devil fruit model ApsaraI I also had to cut out the Kaguya bit for a copyright fuckup on my end. Here is the full story, if you want the context. One day, while walking in the bamboo forest, an old, childless bamboo cutter called Taketori no Okina (竹取翁 "the Old Man who Harvests Bamboo") came across a mysterious, shining stalk of bamboo. After cutting it open, he found inside it an infant the size of his thumb. He rejoiced to find such a beautiful girl and took her home. He and his wife raised her as their own child and named her Kaguya-hime (かぐや姫 accurately, Nayotake-no-Kaguya-hime "princess of flexible bamboos scattering light"). Thereafter, Taketori no Okina found that whenever he cut down a stalk of bamboo, inside would be a small nugget of gold. Soon he became rich. Kaguya-hime grew from a small baby into a woman of ordinary size and extraordinary beauty. At first, Taketori no Okina tried to keep her away from outsiders, but over time the news of her beauty spread. Eventually, five princes came to Taketori no Okina's residence to ask for Kaguya-hime's hand in marriage. The princes eventually persuaded Taketori no Okina to tell a reluctant Kaguya-hime to choose from among them. Kaguya-hime concocted impossible tasks for the princes, agreeing to marry the one who managed to bring her his specified item. That night, Taketori no Okina told the five princes what each must bring. The first was told to bring her the stone begging bowl of the Buddha from India, the second a jeweled branch from the mythical island of Hōrai, the third the legendary robe of the fire-rat of China, the fourth a colored jewel from a dragon's neck, and the final prince a cowry shell born of swallows. Realizing that it was an impossible task, the first prince returned with an expensive bowl, but after noticing that the bowl did not glow with holy light, Kaguya-hime saw through his deception. Likewise, two other princes attempted to deceive her with fakes, but also failed. The fourth gave up after encountering a storm, while the final prince lost his life (severely injured in some versions) in his attempt. After this, the Emperor of Japan, Mikado, came to see the strangely beautiful Kaguya-hime and, upon falling in love, asked her to marry him. Although he was not subjected to the impossible trials that had thwarted the princes, Kaguya-hime rejected his request for marriage as well, telling him that she was not of his country and thus could not go to the palace with him. She stayed in contact with the Emperor, but continued to rebuff his requests and marriage proposals. That summer, whenever Kaguya-hime saw the full moon, her eyes filled with tears. Though her adoptive parents worried greatly and questioned her, she was unable to tell them what was wrong. Her behaviour became increasingly erratic until she revealed that she was not of this world and must return to her people on the Moon. In some versions of this tale, it is said that she was sent to the Earth, where she would inevitably form material attachment, as a temporary punishment for some crime, while in others, she was sent to Earth for her own safety during a celestial war. The gold that Taketori no Okina had been finding had in fact been a stipend from the people of the Moon, sent down to pay for Kaguya-hime's upkeep. Kaguya-hime goes back to the Moon As the day of her return approached, the Emperor sent many guards around her house to protect her from the Moon people, but when an embassy of "Heavenly Beings" arrived at the door of Taketori no Okina's house, the guards were blinded by a strange light. Kaguya-hime announced that, though she loved her many friends on Earth, she must return with the Moon people to her true home. She wrote sad notes of apology to her parents and to the Emperor, then gave her parents her own robe as a memento. She then took a small taste of the elixir of life, attached it to her letter to the Emperor, and gave it to a guard officer. As she handed it to him, the feather robe was placed on her shoulders, and all of her sadness and compassion for the people of the Earth were forgotten. The heavenly entourage took Kaguya-hime back to Tsuki-no-Miyako (月の都/京; lit. "the Capital of the Moon"), leaving her earthly foster parents in tears. The parents became very sad and were soon put to bed sick. The officer returned to the Emperor with the items Kaguya-hime had given him as her last mortal act, and reported what had happened. The Emperor read her letter and was overcome with sadness. He asked his servants, "Which mountain is the closest place to Heaven?", to which one replied the Great Mountain of Suruga Province. The Emperor ordered his men to take the letter to the summit of the mountain and burn it, in the hope that his message would reach the distant princess. The men were also commanded to burn the elixir of immortality since the Emperor did not wish to live forever without being able to see her. The legend has it that the word immortality (不死 fushi, or fuji) became the name of the mountain, Mount Fuji. It is also said that the kanji for the mountain, 富士山 (literally "Mountain Abounding with Warriors"), are derived from the Emperor's army ascending the slopes of the mountain to carry out his order. It is said that the smoke from the burning still rises to this day. (In the past, Mount Fuji was much more volcanically active.)

Bro oda watching this and feels like kinemon, when denjiro just overestimated him lmao

Oda is ether the smartest man ever being able to make all these intricate clues or this is all coincidence that even he's looking at this like "wow that's crazy"

I feel like if and when One Piece finishes, somebody is either gonna make an extremely long video or a series that goes over every single detail in One Piece And I'll be down to watch it all-

So crazy of Oda to plant a painting in the real world back in the 1400s just to reference the celestial dragons

I can imagine Oda himself watching this and taking notes

If this goes viral again, I'm gonna make a part 3 lol. Watch the Yuderon interview here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sN6bZNWct8_SlZc.html to all french people out there, I'm gonna pretend like the quatorze was on purpose

Well, could we add in the theory that Nami's character development isn't over? I mean there some mysteries around Nami. The facts that she comes from a kingdom which has been destroyed by pirates and global government, or also she doesn't truly know her origins and she can sense meteorological changes as Vivi said, it's a unique power that only Nami has.

Oda hearing of this theory: 👁👄👁

If the ,,Rock“ is a symbol for immortality, then it would be fitting that ,,Rock“s D. Xebec challenged the Celestial Dragons because he wanted the immortality for himself

Oda: Don't think too much into One Piece, it's not that detailled. Also Oda:

Are we not going to talk about what Rayliegh said at 14:13

Oda plays 5D chess while we are just enjoying an anime. Mad respect

I think the immortality would also explain why the D clan always dies with a smile on their face. They know life only has value if it has an end and embrace a death of their own choice/design, rejecting the immortality they could have had

If the Celestial Dragons stand for immortality then their natural enemy, the D.‘s could stand for Death which explains why the smile while dying.

I had to come back to this video after seeing what has transpired thus far in the manga and you were right about a lot of things. You did a great job!

This coin has a lot of sides 😂

Every time there’s a really good theory…I feel that ODA feels like Kinnemon where “his real plan” was revealed by Denjiro lol

I don't know if this theory is correct or not. "One Piece" is the best! And You put it in an easy to understand way. Thanks! OHara! (Fuku) Roku-Ju (Fuku) Roku(6)Ju(10) (Fuku) 610 ↓reversal (Fuku) 016 (Fuku) 01(I)6(mu) (Fuku) imu？ (Fuku＝Kimono)imu (∴)three-eyed？XD For the Fukurokuju Kimono Three-eye mark(∴)

Love your theories fr please keep making em ur content is amazing huge fan

Oda doesn't often get the praise he deserves. Just imagine dropping foreshadowing and plot threads based on numbers, pictures and dialogues and properly connecting them at later chapters. He has been patiently doing so for the last 24 years. When all these plot threads are solved by the last chapter, we will get a piece of fiction that can outdo any epic fantasy the world has seen.

I'll say it again. I love this new format you switched to awhile back. It adds entertainment to the information. For a long video like this, it makes it go by faster and not seem dragged out.

Yow. This could have been the longest review I have ever watched. All because it's done by this dude 😁

Old Rayleighs beard has like 5 lines boom gear 5 confirmed

When Luffy accidentally revealed his identity in the coliseum in Dressrosa one the gladiators said "the real straw hat luffy is an 8 meter giant" n I find it interesting now with the Luffy/Joy boy being a giant thing

So here's a random thought, imu loved joyboy joyboy did not love imu but posidon and in imu's rage she 1. Turned all Fishman into slaves and 2. Tried to have joyboy killed eventually succeeding but keeping his strawhat cause she still loved him. That's why luffy's picture is cut up and there's a knife through shirahoshi's

I think you are ABSOLUTELY correct about Imu fruit, especially with the revolution we just got about Luffy, so much evidence pointing that way.

Hey, just a slight correction regarding the French king : Louis Quatorze is Louis XIV or the 14th, the Sun King (Roi Soleil). But the one you seem to want to talk about is Louis the 16th which is said "Louis Seize" (pronounced /sɛz/) in French. This Louis is the one who his head chopped off. Regards from France.

cant wait for the story to be finished and be dissected by literary scholars, and have One Piece be leveled to the great literary works of all time.

love the content, really entertaining videos!

Dropping this as a note to when this series ends, the opposite of the “devil child” Nico robin as Imu would be “mother of god” aka sun god luffy, and would need to make dragon aka the one who took luffy as the worst criminal and which kept dragon from ever getting close to luffy for a lot of time because imu could possibly trace luffy through him except for when the weather turns and he must save him. Also unrelated but Elbaf backwards is fable

The whole devil fruit part controlling water, makes me think that Imu or whoever has that power made the knock up stream strong enough to lift Shandora into the sky. It is too much of a coincidence that the incident happened a few years after Noland reports his trip to Mary Geoise.

Sometimes it literally feels like Oda has been brainstorming this story his whole life and every neat connection or clue he ever thought of randomly he wrote down and included literally all of them.

I'm so close to writing a baseless story with a lot of unanswered plot holes, waiting for people to come up with the craziest possible theories, parallels and links

The way you digging information is absolutely insane.. mind blowing theory tho eventhough if it wasnt in Oda's mind.. new subs here

There can only be one best OP theory. Ohara: well here comes one more

*Idk whats crazier, Oda Creating the whole One Piece Story or People making Theories like these*

Jesus Christ on a scooty!!!!!! 🤯 That was awesome man 😊👏👍 After so long I watched a 40 min long video on KZfaq.. 🙏

for the drum island point its funny how wapol has come back into the story as we find out more things about imu... very interesting

Plot twist:That Japanese Theorist is actually working for Oda and intentionally misleading us from finding out the true ending.

My biggest problem with the repeat theory is, that with a story that is so huge and takes so long, you can very easy and often find something that is similar or repeats itself in some way. Especially if you say the repeating parts can be anywhere in the story. If you are searching for just the smallest hint, you will find something, even it was perhaps totally unaware and unexpected by Oda.

Been watching your vids for hrs. Doesn’t matter, you’re so entertaining!

Ohara, I love and are blown away by all of your fantastic information, espcially in the time of a One Piece hiatus due to the recent hack. My question is, where did you get the numerical valuses in examples like IMU's name? I ask as I cannot see how those characters are numerical values

Imagine if Oda was just chilling in his home, taking nodes from all these theories in the internet and making the story progress hence why one piece will never end, because there will always be a new theory.

i love the fact that everytime you say "hmm" it sounds like a minecraft villager lmao xD love ur vids

In light of Luffy's true Devil Fruit, your theory about Imu's devil fruit makes a lot of sense! That would mean he is the rain god.

That's why people Love One Piece, so much dotted that connected one and another to create Unimaginable Plot. And that's also why so much people love One Piece Theory, even though it's just theory. But did Oda really think that far? 😂👍

I swear Oda is gonna make the one piece the friends we made along the way after watching this

Don't forget that there are multiple moons in the story. Maybe Imu came from another moon to conquer the moon Enel went to.

(Zunesha announces Joy Boy’s return) “Best reveal” … (Oda promises upcoming Imu character reveal)

When akazuya members are beginning to fight Kaido the cat says “The snow is light… like flower petals..”

I imagine Oda Watching this: Oda Laughing : Look at this fools, they didn't even know what inside my head.

You make me want to read One Piece again, which would take forever!

Halfway thru this turned into an episode of ancient aliens.

Notice how Blackbeard loves reading history and he does not sleep even though he came from a snow country

There's so much stuff, it's hard to believe it's all coincidence. But also there's so much stuff, it's hard to believe Oda actually considered all of it while writing the story. Regardless I love the tinfoil hat videos! Pls keep it up!

After reading 1044...this theory becomes stronger XD

Holy shit. That was a lot of information. I don't know how much of this will be confirmed, but great effort bro

New theory: yuderon is oda in disguise trying out to see the reactions of one piece fans on some ideas for his story he ended up not choosing.

As with the last video, I think there are a lot of really good approaches in this video, but also a lot of exaggerated word plays and forced parallels, to be honest. I really liked the following three points best: Sugar-Imu parallel: I think Morj actually explained that quite well in his Dressrosa video, that Dressrosa is a mini version of the one piece world. So it fits perfectly that the lost memories in Dressrosa are a parallel to the void century and that aspects of Imu are represented in Sugar. In particular, it's actually really strange that Sugar remains a child forever, because that doesn't really have much to do with her actual devil fruit powers. But I like the fact that it could be a parallel to Imu and that Imu also stays young forever. Maybe also that Imu is female, but that's a bit too far-fetched for me. Oh, and the thought with Law, Doflamingo and immortality is also great! Drum island-Mary Geoise: I always thought it was strange that there are 20 doctors, just like 20 kings, but I never understood why. But now, after your explanation, it all makes sense. Drum's mountain is the redline. The castle at the top is Pangea castle. Wapol (and not Dr. Kureha!) is Imu and the 20 doctors are the kings. The bottom line is that this really just reflects that Wapol is a terrible ruler, just like Imu, and that his actions are oppressing his empire. Just as he doesn't care about Drum, Imu doesn't really care about the One Piece world. Wapol takes away their doctors and thus their freedom. When they are sick, they have to submit to Wapol because he has all the doctors. Imu is taking away the world's leaders and thus likewise the freedom of the kingdoms' inhabitants. And especially when you consider that Wapol was One Piece's first king and right after that is Alabasta with a good king, it makes sense that the overarching theme at the time of the story was ruling and kings. So it fits perfectly that Oda foreshadowed Imu and the One Piece world at just such a time. + Between Drum and Alabasta, Riverie was introduced, which again fits perfectly. Fishman Island-Mary Geoise: I have to say, I really really like the idea of the Eve tree in the video and it just makes such perfect sense, especially geographically. For one thing, I think the parallel with Mary Goise's treasure and Fishman Island is very coherent and obvious when you think about it. What would reinforce the idea of the tree is that we saw a specific room when Imu was introduced: The room with the tree. It would fit so well if that is the top of the Eve tree. What if this is the room where the celestial dragons, Imu and the five elder stars take the air with the ability to be immortal. And what if this is the life energy of the fish people...I mean think about it. Why did Joyboy want to bring the fish people to the surface? Well, on the one hand, so that they become an equal part of society, but maybe also because they are being robbed of their life energy. We also know that fish people are much stronger than normal people. It could be that they also live much longer, but their life energy is robbed from them. Two other foreshadowings would be Hody Jones and his crew losing their life energy and basically the whole Wholecake island arc and Big Mom's abilities. Other than that, I found the Kaguya theory, the Robin-Imu parallel and the idea of a water fruit very interesting. However, I feel that at this point there is still no solid information for the three theories. But in principle these are great concepts.

These one piece theaories are starting to feel like class lectures 😂🥲Also, I can imagine Oda saying 'Damn, i really am a genius' after watching this.

I think there was once mentioned that op op no mi can give you eternal life by a certain surgery is done by the fruit user.. So I think emu sama underwent that surgery and got eternal life

It felt like listening to a professor in a classroom XD so many information and hopping around one topic to another. Couldn't keep track of any of it XD But enjoyed the video

Haven't finished the video yet, but personally I would lose my mind laughing if I'm is actually tiny and that was a normal sized Strawhat. The perspective in the Throneroom is an easy trick for Oda to hide it.

Oda be like , when did I think this much . I just thought to write a message that friends are everything. loool

14:57 This looks like the yggdrasil tree which is also known as Tree of Life

24:45 I think you're onto something, Im is a 1'6" tall Gnome which explains why the straw hat seems so big and their chair needs to be elevated so high! Wow!

Don't know if this is too late for anybody to notice this comment but, Just realized that in Onigashima, when Luffy goes into his gear 4th to take down the giant, Hyogoro says "That form... He's just like the god of fire himself". This seems to refer to "sun god Nika" who's physical description doesn't much match Luffy in his gear 4th, but the wiki on Niko says "According to the legend heard by Who's-Who, Nika was a heroic, benevolent figure who was a friend to slaves. It was said that Nika would one day come for the slaves to liberate them from their oppressive masters and bring smiles to their faces" So he's being compared to the sun, and to fire, which is in contrast with the moon, and water.

It might not be related to the “memories” aspects of your theory but its crazy when you take into consideration that oda had the ending planned sicne beginning, the first ED song in the anime it’s called “memories” and it’s played on key pieces of the story like when sanji leaves the crew (importance of the all blue) and when Roger finds the One Piece.

It's been awhile my friend but I'm back and I knew that I missed some bangers

OMG that crazy, i like this theory, thank you 👍

in Cesear's flashback we saw Vegapunk in the shadows we saw him having an elongated head so Vegapunk could be a three eyed tribesman alongside Vice-Admiral Strawberry

Ohara love your videos !! Recently rewatching arcs. Was very interesting to notice giants at the beginning of enter grand line ( little garden ) then we get to sabody there is a giant there with Rayleigh , and I am certain the end of the new world will have giants. These are checks points and they are still every where in between. Throw in a big straw hat 👒 and i am being drawn to the giants . Elbaf for the last poneglpy

Oda has a beginning middle and end to his stories throw away lines here there and everywhere Have come back too often for them to be anything else. He usually leaves us guessing just long enough and then hit us with something we either saw coming a mile away or never saw coming at all based on throwaway lines 15 years ago. Not all of our theories may be right but they are all fun to speculate about.

Also it's really interesting how Robin became pretty suicidal after the Alabasta arc as opposed to wanting to live forever, as IM does, but it's Monkey *D* Luffy, the enemy of the God, who forces her to want to stay alive, which is significant when you consider that she will be the one to help find the One Piece through deciphering the Ponegliffs (idk spelling sorry).

There's no way that 100% of this theory is true, but the fact that there's people that are able to expand upon the story and formulate ideas that show multiple links and pathways, connecting people together and it actually making sense, proves that One Piece is the best show of all time. No other show does this as well as One Piece. ODA DA GOAT.

I never want one piece to end

you are the only youtuber that can make me watch a 40minute video effortlessly and wanting more

Having a devil fruit that lets you manipulate water would be perfect for the "final boss" since it's the natural enemy to all devil fruit users, thus explaining why Imu is so powerful. This is something that was speculated for a long time, when such a devil fruit would appear. Thinking about Dragon this would also make sense. Since many people think he has a weather fruit, this would make him the "worlds worst criminal", maybe the fruit can lead to similar powers Imu has. Another excellent connection someone here in the comments pointed out would be the filler arc where the crew's memories got stolen. This happens while they were sleeping and the person doing it was, you guessed it, underwater like an Apsara or Nymph. Which would lead to another interesting connection, which is Blackbeard who never sleeps. Intentional or unintentionally, this would prevent his memories from being stolen if it only can take place while sleeping. Blackbeard also of course coming from a snow country. The next interesting food for thought would be the connection between Eva and the tree of knowledge. Eating the forbidden fruit, getting tricked by the devil. The devil fruits. This would also explain the symbolism with the D. family being the natural enemy of the gods, because they ate the devil fruits, hence becoming devils. The natural enemy of god. In Buddhist mythology, Apsaras are seen as half human half god. This would also fit with the pirate theme as generally being the bad guys. Maybe Imu doesn't even have a devil fruit, but just IS an Apsara. Just like mermaids exist as a race. Really interesting as well is that Oda once said in an interview that the main three protagonists that will play a big role are Luffy, Zoro and Nami. Nami so far has not played an important role at all. Maybe her time will come when we figure out her lineage. Maybe she is connected or a direct descended from Imu. It is not normal that a person could perfectly predict weather like her, just by looking at it. Apsaras are known as "ghosts" of the clouds and waters. Of course during the time skip Nami was studying in Weatheria, a city in the clouds.

The movie "The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen" has a lot of connection to One Piece. from the Baron riding the cannonball like Kizaru to Robin Williams playing as "Ray D. Tutto" or King of the Moon wearing celestial dragons costume and of coure the "D." in his name. And also Robin Williams had a movie called "The World According to Garp" didnt watch it yet but that goes to show that Oda likes Robin Williams.

Every rewatch of one piece I do I realize how much foreshadowing there is I’m not surprised imu has been foreshadowed. I’m going too bet she’s going too be inhuman terrifying not malicious imo.

protect Oda at all cost, this man trying to tell us something

The Nami-Shirahoshi thing is a HUGE reach, Bellemere & Otohime definitely did not have the same personalities at all lol. Otohime was fragile and a pacifist, Bellemere was a whole marine and a badass.

New theory: Yude-Ron is actually Oda dripping us that sweet sweet one piece necter

Ok, wait a moment! From where the hell comes that JoyBoy drawing?! I never saw that until now. Is that some fan art?

you actually made the best one piece theory ever

Didnt think i would hear one piece and kosovo’s monastery Visoki Decani in one sentence world amazes me every single day

Oda be like: "Oh shit here we go again"

I think twin needs to pass the smoke 😡😂👍🏾. Great video

I love odas work but im leaning more towards the idea he's just kinda making this story up as he goes.

I can feel Oda's ego growing if he would ever watch this video. He'd be like "Damn I really am the genius that got these dudes theorizing HARD". 😂

I was hyped by your (or yuderon's) first theory eventhough some piece of it (pun intended) were a bit too much for me, but this theory seems waaaaay too far-fetched for me. Some of it is interesting, the double meaning with kureha and drum's story parallels at the beginning of the video. But when you started seeing space ships and stuff it became difficult to keep following you in your theory... Imu is not two sides of the same coin but 5 sides of it here... And if you take every single character of one piece, obviously you are going to find parallels, it is hard to do the part between what's a coincidence and what's a real foreshadowing. That's what I felt when you look at the Doflamingo's crew. You take some of them, the one that fit in your theory but it is not something that is generalized to each and everyone of them. Why Sugar & Violette and not Pika and Diamante? Because we often see what we want to see and that's what it felt like in your video. This is my opinion and as lot of this video depends on how you interpret it, I know it won't be the same for everybody :) Still, it's a nice video to watch and I really hope it's true because we can see how much work you put into it! Ps : I'm French and never heard of the Buddha country for Japan but that's a detail ;)

The flipped logo also has a similar shape with Noland's head. Yuderon really figured something out.

I thought Imu/Im-sama is Malkuth inspired. Im/Imu might also be a play of word w/c means M. I mean Malkuth fits HER perfectly. Malkuth also can be directly derived as Kingdom or Earth. Anyone who first heard the word, just look up Sefirot in Kabbalah. She's one of the sefirot that sits at the bottom of the tree, the tree being what I believe is where the devil fruits originated. Malkuth symbolizes bride, hence why she's depicted as a young woman on a throne with a veil over her face. Tell me it's just a coincidence. She's said to be a divine winged-being with the attribute of God but does not emanate off of God. Her role was to act as feet and anus. Feet that connects and anus that excretes, or shall I say eliminates. She's also the equivalent of Sandalphon, the executioner which explains the words of the Gorosei during the Reverie. She's said to be the source of spirit of every living being. I guess this also supports the theories of her having the power of Earth.

Ya know, in GLR's response to the first the theory he said that parallels can be dangerous because they can be made out of anything... this is what he meant

Good to see the Japanese community and the global community finally working together to uncover one piece. This feels awesome. Thanks to you and Yuderon

This dude definitely ate the Gomu-Gomu no mi, with the crazy stretches he makes

Not to mention that during the second half of the french revolution, the Republic was leaded by an institution called "The Directory", made by....five members. Just like the Gorosei

Ohara: "Are you not entertained!" Me: god damn it 😂

Doubt that anyone will see this but whatever. Random theory (based off the theory that Im is immortal because of the ope ope no mi) but i think Law's ultimate purpose will be a way to undo the immortality effects from Im (at the cost of his own life) so that he can actually be defeated by Luffy (or whoever) afterwards. idk tho, churr lmao
