With episode 1118 of One Piece on the horizon, fans are speculating how Toei Animation will maintain the ambiguity regarding Imu's gender

IMU APPEARED IN CHAPTER 1 OF A BIKE !

The vast lore, complex world-building, and unparalleled storytelling that Eiichiro Oda has painstakingly crafted over the past 25 years is what defines the One Piece universe. But beneath this intricate storyline, there is one aspect left unexplored by Oda, which is Imu's mysterious identity.

First introduced in episode 885 of One Piece, Imu stands as the ruler of the world, commanding the mysterious and seemingly all-powerful World Government from the shadows. Despite this key position in the series, Imu's gender remains a complete mystery; a deliberate choice made by Oda.

With episode 1118 on the horizon, it's clear that Toei Animation is facing a huge challenge. How do they animate a character shrouded in mystery without giving away important details, like Imu's gender, before Oda is ready to reveal them?
