A particular suggestion has gained more attraction among the One Piece community. They want the character of Imu being voiced by none other than Naoya Uchida. He was the voice behind the iconic Naruto villain, Madara Uchiha. It has turned the fandom upside down.
Madara Uchiha’s Wasted Potential in Naruto

Naruto fanbase feels that the series has wasted the potential of the villainous character Madara Uchiha. Being an awe-inspiring and strongest antagonist, his character storyline felt flat. Fans couldn’t get over the feeling this character had left for them.
Although the character had been imbued with an undeniable sense of seriousness and power, he was sidelined in favor of other narrative developments. It left a visible void in the minds of the viewers.
At this point, the potential for Imu to have Madara’s voice comes into play. With Imu’s position as the supreme ruler of the World Government, the character might fill the gap left by Madara’s underwhelming narrative arc. This provides One Piece with a villain capable of truly terrifying the audience in a way that Naruto‘s antagonist was unable to achieve.
One Piece Might be Giving a Chance for Redemption to Madara

Naoya Uchida has been praised for his portrayal of Madara’s character in Naruto. He has a voice that is both commanding and authoritative. His influencing presence made Madara the most intimidating villain of all time.
There’s a high possibility among fans that Imu might be voiced by Uchida. It would be a dream come true for many fans, and also provides a chance for the character to finally receive the justice they deserve.
Fans are imagining how Madara’s voice would feel when uttered by Imu while the character reveals the true intentions and the full extent of their power. It has ignited a hope that One Piece might finally provide the redemption that Madara’s character arc so sorely lacked.
Eiichiro Oda might be directing a grand narrative that pays tribute to Naruto. If his direction is executed correctly, it could lead to the biggest and most impressive moment in One Piece‘s history.
The suspense of Imu’s voice is very high for the upcoming episode. Fans are hoping that the studio behind the anime adaptation will recognize Imu’s potential to become the villain that the series has been missing.
One Piece is currently available to watch on Crunchyroll.
