Was the Sinking of the World During the Void Century Blamed on Joy Boy and His Allies? | The Truth Sank Along with the World

The Truth Sank Along with the World

It’s almost certain that Imu-sama—Nerona Imu-sama—abused Uranus during the Void Century, causing the world to sink. Even now, it’s unclear who exactly is using the ancient weapons, which makes it likely that Imu-sama and their allies shifted the blame for the world’s sinking onto Joy Boy and the Great Kingdom.

Since the Great Kingdom was completely submerged without a trace, it was easy to pin the blame on Joy Boy and his allies, leaving the truth buried along with the kingdom. This was convenient for Imu-sama and their cohorts.

By blaming the catastrophe on the sunken remnants, they made it difficult to pursue the truth, and as the victors of the war, they could easily label Joy Boy and the Great Kingdom as villains. This allowed them to claim that they saved the world from destruction, justifying the establishment of the World Government and their self-proclamation as gods.

The “Genesis” likely states that the “evil forces” tried to destroy the world without naming Joy Boy or the Great Kingdom, leaving them as faceless villains in history.

Vegapunk’s statement that he couldn’t judge whether Joy Boy was good or evil likely stems from the fact that there is too little information, making it impossible for him to determine whether Joy Boy was a friend or foe to humanity.

Similarly, Vegapunk may struggle to judge Imu-sama’s morality, but his dislike of the Celestial Dragons suggests that he doesn’t consider them good. Ultimately, Vegapunk remains uncertain about the true intentions of either side.

What’s clear, though, is that someone in the present day has revived and used the ancient weapons after acquiring the Mother Flame. Whether or not they realized that this would lead to the world’s sinking, they are willing to kill countless lives, which is a terrifying reality.
