One Piece: The Truth Behind Imu's Obsession With Vivi – Oda's Clues Confirm Her Tragic Fate

The mysteries in One Piece have always been vast, but as the Final Saga unfolds, Eiichiro Oda is finally lifting the veil on the most guarded secrets of the series. Among them is a chilling truth: Imu’s relentless pursuit of Princess Vivi of Alabasta is no coincidence, and it carries terrifying implications for the end of the story. From her royal bloodline to her potential link with the Ancient Weapon Uranus, Vivi's fate seems sealed in a web of power, betrayal, and legacy.


Imu’s True Identity and the Mystery of Princess Lily

The secret sovereign of the world, Imu, has long remained shrouded in mystery. Revered and feared, Imu commands the Five Elders and the entirety of the World Government. However, their fixation on Princess Vivi goes beyond surface-level political power; it’s rooted in ancient history.

Centuries ago, Queen Lily of Alabasta was one of the founding rulers during the Void Century. While all other monarchs moved to Mary Geoise, Lily refused, choosing to stay in Alabasta. But her ultimate fate remained unknown until now. Subtle hints dropped throughout the Elbaf Arc suggest that Imu has been using Lily’s body as a vessel. This deeply sinister act has staggering consequences: if Imu can possess one royal vessel, they can do it again.

And Vivi, the direct descendant of Lily, might be next.


Why Imu Wants Vivi – Bloodline of the Ancient Kingdom

Oda has made it clear: Vivi’s bloodline is not ordinary. Her family’s refusal to align with the Celestial Dragons set them apart centuries ago. That rebellious legacy might have made them stewards of powerful knowledge or connections to Ancient Weapons. Imu’s desire to capture Vivi was explicitly shown during the Reverie: "Bring Vivi to me right now!" a command that still echoes through the storyline.

The deeper question is: Why Vivi, and why now? The answer lies in the thematic parallel with Shirahoshi, the living embodiment of Poseidon, one of the Ancient Weapons. Just as Poseidon was reborn into Shirahoshi, the Ancient Weapon Uranus might be reborn into Vivi, and Imu knows it.

The Elbaf Arc marked a significant turning point. For the first time, Imu displayed direct combat capabilities by possessing the body of Gunko, one of the enigmatic Holy Knights. What stood out was that Gunko was heavily hinted to be a former princess, yet another royal vessel. The choice of a female royal body is no accident. It builds a clear narrative pattern: Imu possesses princesses, and Vivi may be their most prized target yet.

This not only affirms Vivi’s central role in the plot moving forward but also confirms a long-held fan theory: Imu requires powerful vessels with ancient bloodlines to channel their dark magic and preserve their immortality or use the powers of Uranus.


Vivi’s Symbolism and Her Inevitable Capture in the Final Saga

Despite her absence from the main arcs since the Reverie, Vivi has remained symbolically present, and now it is becoming apparent why. She represents the will of the past, the voice of dissent against tyranny, and most importantly, the last living connection to Lily. Imu’s obsession with controlling Uranus aligns with the theory that Uranus is not a weapon of destruction, but of divine rule, something only the chosen bloodline can activate.

If Shirahoshi can communicate with sea kings, it’s possible Vivi could awaken powers tied to Uranus, a weapon that governs the skies or celestial energy. Imu’s plan to repossess Lily’s line and reclaim control over Uranus suggests a dark future: Vivi’s capture is inevitable unless the Straw Hats intervene in time.

The murder of King Cobra, the attempted abduction of Vivi by CP0, and the intense censorship surrounding the Reverie events all point toward one undeniable fact: Vivi holds a truth the World Government is terrified of. Her knowledge, perhaps passed down by her father alongside her inherited potential, makes her a threat to Imu's dominion.

Even after her miraculous escape with Wapol, the fact that she’s hiding and unable to openly reunite with Luffy indicates the scale of the manhunt placed on her head. Vivi is not just royalty; she is the last light of an ancient resistance.


Could Vivi Be the Final Straw Hat?

As the story races toward its climax, fans have speculated over who the final member of the Straw Hat crew will be. Vivi has always shared a deep emotional bond with the crew, and she left with the promise that their paths would cross again. Now, with the fate of the world resting on her shoulders, that reunion seems inevitable.

Her role is no longer a simple alliance; it’s central to the war against the World Government. Whether it’s Luffy protecting her from Imu or Vivi unlocking Uranus to turn the tide, her destiny is inseparable from the final battle.


Oda Has Already Laid the Groundwork – The Endgame Is Clear

Through layered storytelling and subtle revelations, Oda has confirmed Vivi’s importance time and again. From her mysterious bloodline to Imu’s growing desperation, it’s obvious that she is not a side character; she is a keystone of the Final Saga. Imu’s plan to possess her is the most chilling revelation yet, and fans should brace for a battle not just of strength, but of legacies, wills, and ancient powers.

The saga of One Piece is entering its darkest and most profound territory, and Vivi stands at the heart of it all.


One Piece Chapter 1152 is set to release on June 22, 2025, and promises more revelations as the Final Saga unfolds. Fans can catch the official release on Manga Plus, available globally.
