The Promise Joy Boy Couldn’t Keep | Did Joy Boy Fail to Kill Imu?
Did Joy Boy Fail to Kill Imu?
It’s possible that during their battle, Joy Boy utterly defeated Imu, leaving them at the brink of death.
Yet, when the moment came to deal the final blow, Joy Boy hesitated.
This failure to eliminate Imu may have allowed the destruction of the ancient world to occur, and Joy Boy may have viewed this as his greatest failure.
Luffy, too, has shown reluctance to kill his enemies, leaving most of them alive after defeating them.
Kaido is perhaps the only major antagonist whose fate remains ambiguous.
It’s plausible that Joy Boy, like Luffy, lacked the desire to kill—even when his opponent posed an existential threat.
However, some enemies must be eliminated. Imu and the FIVE ELDERS, for instance, treat human life as worthless, valuing only their own power and control.
This mindset likely hasn’t changed since the Void Century.
If Joy Boy spared Imu, his mercy may have inadvertently led to the sinking of the ancient world.
It’s possible that Joy Boy viewed this failure as his ultimate sin.
Imu’s lingering fear and survival suggest that Joy Boy’s inability to end Imu’s life had far-reaching consequences.
Imu’s apparent obsession with immortality might stem from their close brush with death during their confrontation with Joy Boy.
