Eiichiro Oda Reveals New Imu Drawing
Recently, Eiichiro Oda revealed some new drawings of different characters, one of them of Imu. Unfortunately, the sketch was rather rough, and it didn’t really disclose new details about Imu. The main thing that fans were looking out for was Imu’s face. If Oda had made a more detailed drawing, there is a chance fans would have been able tofigure out what Imu’s face looked like. But it makes sense that Oda did not do such a thing because it would ruin a potentially epic moment.
