Got another pre-order open for charms! This time from a favourite manga of mine...Great Priest Im! Do I expect anyone to get these? No. But I am making them for myself anyway so worth listing them in case anyone else wants one! As per usual if you buy from me directly they are cheaper but here is the Etsy link in case you want it:

It's so so sad that IM great priest Imhotep isn't known, it's an amazing manga, great character, great story...

I also think it's sad that the community doesn't show themselves as much as the others, I want to see y'all headcanons, Fanart, fanfiction !! I've read and looked at everything at this point

I might share some of my own work if I have the balls to XD

[dabisucc]

Everyone should read IM: The Great Priest Imhotep.

Try not to cry for Im: Great Priest Imhotep challenge: failed.

Second try: failed again. Challenge: impossible.

[radiorabbitzz]

I've been reading IM gpi since its first publication and have been waiting for an anime since that time, I've voted, I think I did all the petition tbh, IT SCORED FIRST AND STILL NOTHING

I am livid and still fighting for it

Seeing all these shows that were also nominated the year Great Priest Imhotep won first place in Anime Japan’s ‘manga we want to see animated’ poll get anime announcements while Im STILL HAS NOTHING….

MAKES ME REALLY MAD.

Next thing you know they’ll be announcing a Yugami-kun anime of all things!! But that would make me feel better, so probably not.

10 theories about Im-sama‘s name

This is a translation of this article. Btw, there’s a theory that the hole in the wall through which Wapol saw Im-sama was made by Doflamingo on that day 30 years ago.

2023/06/03

The Empty Throne in Pangaea Castle on Mariejois. Where the kings of each country take an oath that they are all equal and have no desire for dictatorship. The person who easily sits on a throne that no one should sit on. The one who is called Imu-sama by the Five Elders.

① Buddha Theory

A Celestial Dragon who calls himself "God", Im-sama, who stands above the Gorosei, the highest authority in the world. Since he's above the Celestial Dragons, isn't he something conceptual rather than human? In other words, as there are the words “God” (神様) and “Buddha” (仏様), there are Gods (Celestial Dragon) and Buddha (Im-sama)? By the way, Buddha Shakyamuni had five disciples.

② "I hate (忌��)" Theory

Im-sama decides which “light” should be extinguished from history. Does this mean erasing things that are abominable for "this world ruled by the Celestial Dragons"? In The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, there’s a phrase “Looking at the face of the Moon is detestable”, 月の顔見るは忌むこと. Could it possibly be related to the Moon?

(TL note: The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is filled to the brim with themes of the Moon and immortality.

Over time, Kaguya-hime realized that she did not belong to this world and should return home to the moon. In some versions of the story, Kaguya ended up on Earth as punishment for her crime, in others she remained safe while the war was going on on the moon. One day, the inhabitants of the moon came to take her back. She left a gift for her foster parents, and sent the emperor, who was in love with her, a farewell letter and the elixir of immortality. The emperor, having received the letter, ordered that his answer be taken to the mountain closest to heaven and burned there, in the hope that Kaguya would receive it. Together with the letter, the soldiers had to burn the elixir of immortality, as the emperor did not want to live forever without being able to see Kaguya.

It’s safe to say that Im-sama has a thing for Lily, I like @afishmushy​‘s Imhotep theory a lot.)

③ 16 Theory

Luffy rung the Ox Bell 16 times after the Paramount War. According to Killer, it was "a declaration that a new era has begun." 16 bullets were fired by the Celestial Dragon while executing the children. Is the number 16 a special number for the Celestial Dragons? "16" as a pun from the king of the world?

④ Imhotep Theory

Imhotep, a high priest from ancient Egypt. After his death, Imhotep's status had risen to that of a god of medicine and healing. Eventually, Imhotep was equated with Thoth. Thoth was a god of Moon, wisdom, magic and regulation of events and of time. He was thus said to be the secretary and counselor of the sun god Ra. There was an Egyptian motif when Im-sama was holding a picture of Vivi of Alabasta.

(TL note: there’s a manga titled Im: Great Priest Imhotep (Im～イム～)😁)

⑤ Adam and Eve Theory

Does イム come from those two names, アダ「ム」 and 「イ」ブ? However, those name have already been used for Treasure Tree Adam and Sunlight Tree Eve.

⑥ IMU → UMI Theory

The theory is that the name includes "sea", which is an important element in the world of One Piece. Devil fruits make the sea hate you, and you’re unable to swim if you eat them. Im-sama is like the sea itself and is a natural enemy of ability users?

⑦ France Theory

Im-sama (イム様) = Buddha (仏) = France (仏 is also short for フランス)? Will there be a French Revolution-like event involving Im-sama in the future? 

⑧ IM → I'm Theory

In the Old Testament, when Moses asked the Creator what his name was, the answer was "I am that I am".

⑨ Imu-bakko Theory

There are Ainu conceptions called Imu and Imu-bakko. They are mental disorders found only in Ainu society. The main symptoms are losing consciousness when surprised by something, actions on the orders of other person regardless of one's own will, or actions that are directly opposite to what the person says.

(TL note: If it’s really relevant, maybe Im doesn't necessarily suffer from this condition, but has mind control abilities. Nerona can be translated from Japanese as “don’t sleep”)

⑩ I, Mu Theory

Mu is a legendary lost continent that was located in the Pacific Ocean before its destruction. And the emperor of the Mu continent was titled Ra Mu, which means “the Son of the Sun". The emperor Ra Mu, the incarnation of the Sun god... There seems to be a connection with Im-sama...

(TL note: this is from James Churchward’s writings. They also have many other things relevant to the OP. Btw, the ancient civilization of Mu played a big role in Mega Man storyline. Le Mu, its emperor, the god of EM waves, was a final boss of one of the games)
