I love that Wapol literally just peaked through a crack in the wall that's the funniest possible way for someone to just see all this. Like you got all this other subterfuge and sneaking around and then he just. Happene to look through a crack in the wall.

Pureauthor posted:I can't believe all 5 of the Gorosei + Imu were able to each get a copy of the Shadow Blob In Broad Daylight Fruit to eat My assumption when I read it was that shadow constructs were all produced by Imu's Devil Fruit and the Five Elder Stars were just sort of standing there off-panel. But now that I think about it, I guess it makes more sense if they all transformed. I guess the obscured-by-shadow thing represents Sabo not getting a good look at them, rather than them being literal shadow-blobs.

Going to file Imu = Lili next to "Kizaru uses nanomachines" and "Whitebeard got stabbed on purpose to power up". Lili was a D. like I thought, so I'm still guessing that Vivi has inherited her will

I thought that the monsters were just Imu's power too but the fact that there are 5 of them does suggest a link to the Five Elders. They have to be somewhat independent enough to be shocked at Imu walking out in front of Cobra though. It could just be that the Elder Stars are all zoans and Oda wants to obscure their abilities too I guess. In fact, I think you can see some awakened zoan clouds around a few of them.

So Imu wasnt totally aware that Lili was a D? Either that or Imu was lying about Lili being incompetent rather than a traitor (and the Gorosei referred to her as a traitor before, hard to say if it was just a suspicion or what). Imu is certainly one of the 20 founders of the WG, and one who didnt swear an oath. Vivi showing a lot of faith hopping in Wapol's mouth like that.

Good chapter, classic Oda giving us more questions instead of answers. Sabo’s attack looks like it’s melting the five elders, it’s drawn with the same effect that Big Mom and Kaido got in the lava. My theory is his attack destroyed their human forms and the shadow blobs are their true forms.

my hot take is those arent zoans thats just what they look like for realsies. devil fruits are modeled after people/dreams from 800 years ago. they arent devil fruit users. they are devils.

Wapol  I love that the Five Elder Stars all have legendary zoans, that's sick as hell. And very fitting, given that we just had an arc that ended with a big battle between two legendary zoan users. Can't wait to see what they are, exactly, but it looks like they might be based on monsters from Japanese mythology (more connection to Wano?). My guesses are: - Gyuki - Umibozu - Some sort of god with one of those floating cloth things - Some sort of bird (we already have a phoenix, so it has to be something else, maybe Garuda?) - A giant boar

i thought for sure the name would have water in it for water lily. also important to note that the mustache elder appears to retain the mustache in his monster form. oh they're tusks. false alarm.

so a Gorosei is headed to Egghead which has gauntlets that allow you to physically manipulate light and the Gorosei might actually be shadow beings

Imu might also be generating/controlling shadow demons in the shape of the humans who we know as the Gorosei, whereas these are their true forms. I think that would be less cool than having actual shadow demon fruits though, so I hope not

Perhaps Imu can control or transform them?

Geez you people. You're all overthinking it. The Gorosei are real and both Imu and them are just shadowed so that we can get a proper surprise when someone fights them for real. Kaido and Big Mom got the same treatment, are they shadow puppets of Imu too????

So there are 19 swords but Lily's is upstairs in Imu's room? If Lily is a D it sounds like she can't be Imu. So Imu is someone else entirely?

As someone earlier pointed out, we can see awakened zoan clouds on at least two of the Gorosei. But I find it dubious that we would have two awakened zoan fruit users and three non awakened. And even being in the shadows like this, I think we should still be able to see the clouds on some of the others, which suggests to me that not everyone is a zoan. I don't think we've ever seen an awakened logia user, but we have seen an awakened paramecia user, and they didn't have the zoan clouds. Some paramecia fruits can change their forms too, see Mr. 3 or Trebol.
