One Piece fans make big demand for Imu’s character in anime

The One Piece anime is set to depict Sabo’s memories of Mary Geoise, with Imu and the Gorosei making an appearance. Fans have a particular request for this particular scene.

For a considerable duration, Imu has remained a enigmatic figure in One Piece. They reside on the Empty Throne in Mary Geoise and clandestinely govern the entire world. Their existence is only known to the Gorosei.

For a significant amount of time, all we were aware of regarding Imu was limited. The reasons for keeping their true identity and gender concealed have resulted in them being a mystery. It is expected that at some point in the future, a surprising revelation will unfold.

Despite being easier to conceal a character’s gender in the manga compared to the anime, this is a cause of concern for One Piece fans. Many fans believe that in the anime, Imu’s voice should not be distinctly male or female, in order to maintain ambiguity and potentially reveal it in the future.

“According to a post by an X/Twitter user, Imu’s voice will be heard in the anime soon. They expressed a desire for a mix of male and female voices to maintain the air of mystery surrounding the character.”

Another person suggested that they could use the Tobi voice first, then reveal the Madara voice, and end with Obito’s voice, drawing inspiration from Naruto Shippuden.

“The third person requested for the recording to have a double or triple layer.”

“Another fan suggested having Yubel from Yu-Gi-Oh GX voiced by both a male and female voice actor.”

Nonetheless, there are also numerous individuals who are highlighting that the manga may have already disclosed Imu’s gender. Throughout One Piece, the enigmatic ruler consistently utilizes male speech patterns, suggesting that they have been male from the beginning.

“According to one user, Imu’s gender as male has been confirmed for the 50th time based on the way he speaks and how others talk about him. However, there is a possibility that Oda is deliberately misleading us.”

Another person commented, “It’s a male-dominated culture. I believe this fan base needs to accept that.”

Despite the lack of an official confirmation of Imu’s gender, it is expected that the answer will be revealed in the anime at some point. As the show is created under the supervision of Eiichiro Oda, the revealed gender will be considered canon.
