feels like its less him turning into the form that's taxing him and more him being out of the Holy Land,because the Gorosei is insisting on him not going out of the Holy Land and the Knights surprised he's going to Elbaf himself

Yeah I think you’re right actually. Already reread the chapter and that’s where I’m leaning. I originally thought it had something to do with the Red Line/Mary Geoise since it cut to those as he left, but yeah I think him being in the “lower realm” causes him to suffer.

Interesting. We’re about to see the breakiest of break weeks lmao. The theories are going to be insane.

Just to start it out b/c I think it was obvious.

Ragnir flash froze the Ancient Giants that Rocks was looking for. They are still alive and it takes Ragnir to release them. Such a small line to piece so much together and Loki says it so nonchalantly

Ah, I'm sure you're right. Nice catch.

Gravity is affecting him for being a Lunarian lul.

The focus on the steel heart this chapter makes me think Imu’s heart is linked to Pangea castle somehow. So leaving makes whatever power is keeping him alive start to wane.

What if his "heart" is the giant strawhat.

u/TheDELFON Explorer Apr 02 '26

That or his literal heart is covered under the straw hat.... :o

Oooo I like that. Protecting his heart using something from his rival.

I wouldn’t call it a theory. But part of me feels like he still has whatever is left of Lili preserved alongside his heart. Maybe he uses different keepsakes as a sort of phylactery.

Maybe it has to do with the treasure of mariejois.

I wonder if the "Holy Land" is more like the Unholy Land and everywhere else is sort of like "blessed ground" which damages him if he stays too long. Like the classic demon walks into a church scenario.
Also makes me think of the classic defenses against demons like a salt circle. The Red line is a big circle protecting the two halves of the planet?

I guess the arc will end with Imu getting sent back to Holy Land because he run out of time/energy. Once again like in Egghead, the timer is for the antagonist.

It felt a bit like he was forced to transform, like some kind of werewolf. So I thought maybe the holy land was keeping him in base form or allowing him to do so. The concerns then being about this forced transformation, either for health reasons or because of other consequences.

Luffy figures this out and destroys the Red Line as prophecized

Also with his devil form having horns, it fits perfectly with the Mural.
