Why Did Imu and the Five Elders Conceal the Existence of the Old World? | Reasons Behind Concealing the Old World
Reasons Behind Concealing the Old World
The decision to hide the existence of both Imu and the Old World seems to be driven more by Imu’s will than by the policies of the World Government or the Celestial Dragons.
While the Five Elders appear to act independently when addressing certain problems, they ultimately follow Imu’s grand directives.
The decision to conceal their own existence could be tied to the ideology of the Empty Throne, which may make it easier to control the world.
For instance, this illusion of equality might encourage more nations to join the World Government. Imu’s own physical or mental condition might also play a role in this choice.
As for the Old World, the most straightforward explanation is that Imu was responsible for its destruction and sought to erase the evidence to cover up the mass death they caused.
However, I suspect the Old World represented something Imu deemed unnecessary—a relic of the past they wanted to discard.
For example, Enel destroyed his homeland seemingly because it was an obstruction to his plans. Imu may have viewed the Old World in a similar way, as something unnecessary for the New World they sought to create.
Imu’s actions suggest they wanted to reshape the world to make it easier to control, eliminating complexity and opposition.
Perhaps the Old World was too vast, too chaotic, and populated by too many individuals and species that defied Imu’s vision. By simplifying the world, Imu created a version closer to their ideal—one they could dominate.
Yet, Imu went a step further, attempting to erase not only the Old World but also the Void Century from history.
