ネロナ」を示唆する言葉遊び (ワンピース)
『ワンピース』の最終章で明らかになった世界の頂点に立つ存在「イム」のフルネームは「ネロナ・イム」。海外ファンは、この名前が漢字「神仏（かみほとけ）」をカタカナに分解した言葉遊びではないかと考察しています。

I can see this being how the name came about. If Imu really is the parts of the kanji for buddah 仏 = イム then I can see Nerona coming form the kanji for god
名前の由来ってこういう感じかも。もしイムが本当に「仏」の漢字の一部（イム）なら、ネロナが「神」の漢字から来てるのも納得だわ+333

I think it may also be a layered wordplay with the Roman Emperor Nero.
Besides the fact Nero was basically a real life Celestial Dragon, he became very associated with the biblical figure of the Antichrist, because his persecution to Chritians and the numerology of his name resulting into 666. This stuff goes very well with his power.
ローマ皇帝ネロとの二重の駄洒落かもね。
ネロが現実世界の天竜人みたいなもんだったって事実に加えて、キリスト教徒への迫害と名前の数秘術が666になるせいで、彼は聖書の反キリスト像と強く結びつけられちゃったんだよ。これが
※「名前の数秘術が666」は、聖書の『ヨハネの黙示録』に登場する「獣の数字666」が、当時の皇帝ネロの名前に当てはめられたという古代の解釈（ゲマトリア）を指しています。+1

That is an angle, but I think it is etiher or. Either it is a deconstruction of the kanji Kami, or it is derived from Nero. Either one can be the case but I dont think both of them are.
それも一理あるけど、どっちかだと思う。漢字「神」の分解か、ネロ由来か。どちらもあり得るけど、両方同時ってことはないんじゃない？+1

It wouldn't be the first layered name in One Piece.
"Amazon Lily" for example. It's the name of an actual flower, it's a reference to the amazons from Greek myth and it's a pun with the GL genre (the Japanese word for "Lily" is "Yuri").
ワンピースで二重三重の名前って別に初めてじゃないし。
例えば「アマゾン・リリー」。実際の花の名前だし、ギリシャ神話のアマゾンへのオマージュだし、GLジャンルとのダジャレ（日本語で「百合」）でもあるし。+1

so Ro is basicly the D. ?
ってことは「Ro」って基本的に「D.」ってこと？+114
ShotgunAndHead
Oda please let this be true it would be so funny, and that D in names is just the symbol for Ro.
Like Ne D. na Imu, Monkey Ro Luffy, please oda im begging
尾田先生これ本当にしてくれ〜超面白いし！名前の「D.」ってただの「Ro」の記号だったんだよ。
例えば ネ D. ナ・イム、モンキー Ro ルフィ みたいな。頼むよ尾田先生+94

He's got the big D all around, goated
ヤツは至る所にデカいDを持ってる、最高だな+22

nah ro is ロ it doesn’t actually look like a D

I'm pretty sure the D is supposed to represent a big smile

That’s just cause of this person’s handwriting
Ro is ロ
It could be if you squint but imo that’s a stretch
それはただこの人の筆跡のせいだよ
Roは「ロ」だ。
目を細めればそう見えなくもないけど、個人的には無理がある+35

I do have a huge hunch that Imu is both a part of Elbaf culture and a D. member. He feels a bit too much like Luffy to me.
イムがエルバフ文化の一部で、かつDの一員だってすごく予感してる。ルフィと似すぎてる気がするんだよね。+9

ネロナ． idk it doesn’t look like a D. it’s just that persons handwriting

moria is a what
モリアって何だって？+100

原文
Moria is an honorary Kozuki member. He was born in the West Blue and raised in Ringo and honored amongst the locals for fighting against Kaido. It’s how his crew was wiped out. He escaped, presumably took ryuma’s corpse and sword and never returned. The people believed him to have died against Kaido and made a grave for him.
In the Japanese language there’s a clever wordplay connecting Gecko to Kozuki. I’m not a Japanese speaker so I don’t fully remember the details but Gecko sounds like Gekko meaning moonlight. Moonlight backwards is light moon. Light moon in Japanese is Kozuki
モリアは光月おでんの名誉構成員だよ。西軍で生まれて鈴後で育ち、カイドウと戦ったことで地元民から尊敬されてた。彼のクルーが全滅したのもその戦いだ。彼は逃げ出し、おそらくリューマの死体と刀を持って二度と戻らなかった。人々は彼がカイドウに敗れて死んだと思ってる。+160

Kōzuki - 光月
Gekkō (moonlight) - 月光
Gekkō (gecko) - ゲッコー
Yeah his name is just Kozuki backwards. They're pronounced the same. 月 for moon can be pronounced *tsuki* or *getsu*, which become *-zuki* or *ge-* in the compound words.
光月（こうづき）→ 月光（げっこう）→ ゲッコー（ヤモリ）ってことか。確かに「光月」は「月光」の逆だな。発音も同じだし。「月」は「つき」とも「げつ」とも読めるから、複合語で「-づき」や「げっ-」になるんだな。+112

Awesome! Thanks for the detailed explanation! Language is so beautiful
すげえ！詳しい説明サンキュー！言語ってほんと美しいわ+18

Please explain wordplay more when you can.
This was beautifully put!
こういう言葉遊びの解説、もっとやってくれ！めっちゃ分かりやすかった！+1
dienomighte
Yeah, actually. Somehow. There's a gravestone with the name Koizuki Moria and Oda said more about it in I think an sbs
ああ、確かに。なんか…「小泉（こいずき）モリア」って名前の墓石があって、おでんがSBSか何かでもう少し話してた気がする+24
ChickenOfTheYear
The first part with nerona meaning kami is probably where he got the inspiration for that name. Now the kanji on maxim means nothing, it's just what Enel likes to call himself - kami (god). No relation to nerona family, most likely
最初の、ネロナが「神」を意味するってとこから名前のインスピレーション得たんだろうな。で、マキシムのカンジは何の意味もなくて、単にエネルが自分を「神（かみ）」って呼んでるだけ。ネロナ家とは多分無関係だわ+34

This has been a well known thing in Japan since Imu was first shown.
Heck, I’ve mentioned this here many times here.
This isn’t new in any stretch.
これ、イムが初登場した時から日本では割と知られてたことだよ。てか、俺ここで何度も言及してきたし。別に新しい発見でも何でもないね。+12

One Piece makes me want to actually learn Japanese solely because I feel like I miss so much wordplay and foreshadowing due to English not being as dense as a language.
ワンピース読んでると、言葉遊びや伏線を英語だと見逃しちゃいそうで、日本語勉強したくなってくるわ。言語としての情報密度が違うからな。+1

There is definitely a lot of nuance many people skip over when they watch/read 😂
I live near Kumamoto and go there frequently. Even in the areas around the city, there are things that are shown/mentioned in OP. Gives a lot of insight tbh.
Here’s a fun pic from Yamato
みんな見逃しがちなニュアンス、確かにめっちゃあるよ😂 俺熊本の近くに住んでてよく行くんだけど、街の周辺にもOPで出てくるようなものがあるんだよね。結構インサイト得られるわ。
ほら、ヤマトから面白い写真+1

I think this is the first ive I see it? When was it mentioned before?
これ初めて見たかも？前に言及されたことあった？+1

[Here, I posted this over a year ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/s/g2uX9noXVu)
There’s another one even further back with Nerona, but I cbf linking it
[ほら、俺1年以上前にこれ投稿してる](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/s/g2uX9noXVu)。ネロナのもっと前の別のもあるけど、リンクするのめんどいわ+1
Hellodhiru
Imu was probably allies with. joyboy and decided to betray him
イムは多分ジョイボーイと同盟してて、裏切ることにしたんだろうな+6

Dawn dusk/lunapiena said this years ago
それ、Dawn Dusk（Lunapiena）が何年も前に言ってたよ+7
DarkDarkPit
Yeah, I've been seeing a fair amount of Dawn & Dusk's observations being shared around online pretty near verbatim without actually crediting the channel. Which is a shame, because it's probably the best One Piece speculation channel.
そうそう、最近ネットでDawn & Duskの考察が、ほぼそのまま引用されてるのを結構見かけるけど、ちゃんとチャンネル名クレジットしてないんだよね。残念だわ。あそこ多分最高のワンピース考察チャンネルなのに。+1

At this time in the story, Imu wasn't a concept. The story was going to stop with the 7 warlords. Not everything is a foreshadow, Oda may be good but all of this was not planned at the beginning.
この時点の物語では、イムなんて概念なかったんだよ。話は七武海で終わる予定だったんだから。全部が伏線ってわけじゃない。おでんはすごいけど、これ全部最初から計画されてたわけじゃない。+1
GraveRobberJ
It doesnt need to be planned for it to be retroactively incorporated to be fair
計画されてなくても、後付けで組み込むことはできるだろ、それでいいじゃん+1
dienomighte
This feels like a stretch to me and from a western pattern recognition perspective, but I can't pretend to be an expert in Kanji so who knows
これはちょっと穿ち過ぎな気がするし、西洋的なパターン認識の視点からだと思うけど、俺は漢字の専門家じゃないから何とも言えん+1
rveniss
原文
Eh, it's pretty clear that Nerona Imu, written in katakana as
ネロナ・イム
is meant to be a play on
神仏
Meaning god 神 *kami* and Buddha 仏 *hotoke*.
The katakana in his name are just the separate elements of the kanji.
Similar to how the word for a female ninja, *kunoichi*, comes from the kanji for woman 女 *onna*, which is three strokes くノ一 that look like the hiragana *ku*, katakana *no*, and the Kanji for the number one, *ichi*.
いや、ネロナ・イム（ネロナ・イム）ってのは、「神仏（しんぶつ）」※神と仏。ここでは「神」を「ネロナ」、「仏」を「イム」と分解して当てはめるという説を指しています。にかけた言葉遊びだってのは結構明白だと思うよ。名前のカタカナは、その漢字の構成要素をバラバラにしただけ。女忍者の「くノ一」が「女」の字を分解したのと同じような感じで。+25

Huh, fascinating
へー、なるほどね+6

I should have taken japanese course at school instead of Spanish, if only they had the option. I feel you can play so much with japenese linguage and analyse it, so beautiful
スペイン語じゃなくて日本語の授業取ればよかった、もし選択肢にあったらだけど。日本語ってすごく遊べるし分析も深くできそうで、ほんと美しいよな+1

原文
I really don’t think this holds up.
Let’s look at the example you use here.
ネロナ・イム.
You’re saying if we break down 神 we should get ネ・ロ•ナ.
However it’s a bit strange how only the ナ and ロ overlap in this instance, but the 礻, ⺅ and ⼛ do not follow this pattern. We simply put them next to each other to recombine them into what’s being claimed here. I find that had to believe because there’s no corresponding kana that would represent ⽥ or 甲 necessary radical used in this instance, whereas literally every other part of the kanji used in your example have their own radicals. So for this to hold up in any elegant manner, we would have to ignore this reality and honestly I just don’t think that tracks.
Either this is very convenient reach when you squint your eyes hard enough and don’t pay any close attention to the details, or Oda is making a very sloppy pull here. Which should go without saying I doubt that it’s the latter because I believe he’s a lot better than a stretch like this.
Edit: I should add, the Kunoichi thing also doesn’t hold up and is a bit of a misconception. For the era where this would have been relevant 女 wasn’t written as we see it now and wouldn’t break down into those characters. There’s some variant of the calligraphic or cursive script for that era (Edo) which doesn’t quite look like the kanji used today.
これはちょっと無理があると思うわ。例に挙がってる「ネロナ・イム」で考えてみよう。君の説だと「神」を分解すると「ネ・ロ・ナ」になるはずだってことだろ？でも、この場合「ナ」と「ロ」だけが重なってて、「礻」「⺅」「⼛」の部分はこのパターンに従ってないじゃん。単に並べてるだけだよ。+1

As someone who reads Chinese and some Japanese, doesn’t seem so crazy
中国語と少し日本語が読める者として、そんなに狂ってるとは思わないわ+13
尾田栄一郎先生の緻密なネーミングセンスと、それを読み解く海外ファンの深い考察が光るスレッドでした。
