Currently, the One Piece anime is showcasing the Egghead Arc of the Final Saga, which will finally unveil the voice actor behind a beloved character, six years after their initial appearance.
One Piece Episode 1117 will be postponed due to the Toei Animation hiatus. The upcoming episode will feature the long-awaited revelation of events from the Reverie arc. Sabo’s reunion with the Revolutionary Army will require him to recount all that has occurred, including the tragic passing of Nefertari Cobra.
Despite the world’s belief that Sabo is responsible, the reality is quite different. One Piece Episode 1117 is scheduled to premiere on September 1, 2024, and will feature a flashback of Imu’s discussion with Nefertari Cobra. This will be the first time that Imu’s dialogue is shown to One Piece enthusiasts.
The enigmatic and powerful leader of the world made their initial appearance in Chapter 906, which was published in June 2018. Since then, fans have frequently caught glimpses of the antagonist’s silhouette, but nothing more. As anticipated, the upcoming voice reveal has generated excitement within the community, with the possibility of the voice actor being announced next week.
I’m super excited to hear Imu’s voice actor soon because after almost 6 years since their first appearance, we’re finally getting our first glimpse of the main villain in One Piece. pic.twitter.com/OZba5kMRvV

A well-known One Piece fan account expresses their anticipation, stating, “I can’t wait to hear the voice of Imu, the main antagonist, for the first time after nearly six years since their initial appearance in the series.”
The translator for One Piece stated in response, “Toei may either censor Imu’s voice or assign a female voice to the character. This is despite the fact that Imu is male, as indicated by the Japanese suffix 聖 “sei”.
According to a fan, the most effective solution would be to eliminate the ability to identify gender by providing only a blended option for recording, instead of separate male and female choices.
Another user points out that it is possible for characters to use a voice and then reveal their face with a changed voice, similar to how it was done in Naruto with Tobi and Madara and later with Obito.
Although the One Piece anime will showcase numerous thrilling Egghead Arc moments, the manga is currently progressing towards the Elbaf Arc.
