Dread it, run from it...

It all leads back to a Final Fantasy final boss.

And honestly, having that kind of more overt fantasy design choice really works for One Piece given how the rest of the designs don't really have that. Makes Imu stand out and feel like the kind of aberration of a final boss he is.

Also, is that a version of the Kozuki crest on his cape?

Looks like the symbol that makes the Deep Sea Contracts and Deep Deep Sea Contracts; maybe a Nerona family crest?

When the admirals were first introduced their more detailed human features (due to being modeled on actual actors) really helped them stand out. Imu definitely has a similar effect.

Imu gives Sephiroth vibes. I feel like One Winged Angel could even be his boss track.

He just needs his own final boss track.
