Even though Imu has not been confirmed to be a Lunarian in One Piece, his design does raise some questions. The similarities to the extinct race cannot be ignored, especially with his new wing design.
Some have also suggested crimson skin for Imu to match the design of a cartoon devil which Imu does seem to take design cues from.
The other factor’s adding to the Lunarian theory are:
Imu’s ancient, possibly immortal nature makes fans connect them to rare or extinct races.
His story ties heavily into the Void Century and lost civilizations, where Lunarians also play a role
However the strongest clue to this theory is definitely his white hair and wing design
.
Imu’s origins trace back to the Void Century. An era erased so completely that even its memory became a crime. It is believed that Imu lived during that age, possibly gaining immortality through forbidden means. While kingdoms rose and fell, Imu remained, watching, waiting, controlling.
This is why characters like Luffy, Blackbeard, and Vivi are on Imu’s radar, they all threaten the world order.
One thing is for sure Imu is one of the biggest mysteries in One Piece, and Eiichiro Oda has been revealing pieces very slowly. But at least we have are nearing the end of Silhouette Piece, only Joy Boy left.
