new ship just dropped?? Imulu??? Nikamu??? shuggy predecessors????
imu & joyboy might’ve been friends in the past??? maybe imu was actually happy in joyboy’s dominion at some point?????🤨
but also maybe a little jealous of his power?? or both?? like admiration mixed with resentment??
that panel of them laughing kinda gives me shuggy vibes…..it suggests a time before things fell apart, which raises questions about what caused the shift. Did Joy Boy chose to abandon his role as a king in pursuit of freedom??? Did he leave Imu with all the responsibilities?? which may have led to lingering resentment???
Is imu just bitter because joyboy was more loved or more charismatic as a king?? or maybe he wants to be like him in some way?? There seems to be an element of wanting to measure up to Joy Boy or even replace him in some sense.
idk but the dynamic right now really feels like shuggy, especially with the whole “clown” thing last chapter (even if that’s not what was said in japanese adfgsg)
The resentment does not seem purely political or ideological; it feels VERY personal. His face looks hilarious.
and LUFFY’S reaction 😭😭😭
Basically he got yelled at by his ancient gf and he's like “I have no idea what's going on but I'm in big trouble rn”😭😭
their dynamic is gonna be so unserious 😭 imu holding 800 years of resentment and luffy's just like I don't even know who you are?????? The one sided beef is even worse than shuggy oh my god
also him reminiscing about Joy Boy is what caused him to get hit by Loki...?? oml
So excited for the edgy shonen villain VS Looney Tunes MC one-sided rivalry.
