Blackbeard does it when people sleep or they are dead.

Domi reversi theories are getting good.

I read one theory that said Imu can only use domi reversi in the persons home country.

That one seems to be making the rounds a lot the past few days. People have no shame copying other people.

It's a peculiar thought and certainly would put a severe restriction on the ability, however it's a rather arbitrary and abstract one. I mean does the intended target need to "feel" it as home, or is the place where they were born automatically their "home" even if they do not have any emotional attachment? And where does "home" begin and end exactly?

I can't wait to see ONE OF THE MOST EPIC double pages in all “One Piece”, Garp, Roger, Rocks, Newgate, Kaidou, and Linlin attacked Imu together!!!

Imu also has a board game.

I love how Garp and Davy is interpreting the looks of 5 elders/Imu It wil be interesting to see why Garp doesn't do anything about the 5 eldes after all he saw them doing...
I didn't get in the spoilers what Imu did with this "Domi reversi"...Seeing the chapter...yeah...This Imu is malefic.
Yeah...not impressed with the super duper combined attack of the "Beasties of the past"
I don't know how Dragon end up loosing Shanks like that...It doesn't do justice to this character, really...

 

[The Big Boss]

Shanks saved himself too.

Imu also has a board game.

I reread the chapters when Imu used the ability for the first time, and honestly to me it makes it even less likely that someone's home country is a relevant factor in it all.

It has never been shown that that board game is real; that could've just been an abstract representation of the situation. At one point one of the giants remarked that when three of them got turned, it were the three that stood directly between Dorry and Brogy. Then when another giant got turned, that's when the board was shown and he stood directly between Dorry and Brogy; it was even shown there was a dark line that ran through the three 'pawns' while the middle one got flipped. So, it seems the conversion of most giants was due to some kind of 'gaming rule'.

The only ones that were truly turned on screen directly by Imu, were Rocks and Brogy (and possible Dorry off-panel). What those two share in common, is that Imu personally injured them and seems to have affected them with something. Rocks got skewered by tentacles and started turning when he was still connected; Brogy got stabbed and shot and in his case Imu even explicitly says 'accept my ungodly power' and then started to cast a magic spell.

So, to me that whole theory seems to be nonsense and also rather narratively impractical as each time Oda would want to use it against a specific character, he needs to make sure they are on said character's homeland and this in a world that's centered around the concept of most characters exactly not doing that.

The board doesn’t look that big.

Davy jones might be a king, so Imu is either a king or a queen.

I was wondering how Eris and Teach escaped this incident...I am curious what next for them...I mean, I expected Eris to get killed here...

That's the board CP0 was playing on in Wano. Not really sure what this has to do with anything?

In the end, assuming BB has some knowledge we as the readers are still not privy to, someone present there should have survived to tell him about it. BB is two years I think here, so it's not really believable that Rocks told him.

We will see... But I would like to believe that BB did not need anyone to tell him about what happened there

What happened on GV, maybe, but why it happened, is a different matter. In the end the God Valley Incident was a freak twist of faith no one expected.

Rocks had a specific plan in mind based on a certain amount lost knowledge he possessed and I find it questionable he shared all of that with his 2-year old son. However, it is implied Eris was aware of it to some degree.

I picture bb being a history buff.

I picture bb being a history buff.

Think about the story arcs from Naruto, Nagato, Gaara and so on or more recent in Demon Slayer, Akaza... What I am trying to say is that Oda is building a side story to BB, so we can sympathise with his cause.
