Perhaps is it not so premature, since this proof relies mainly of this new inter-universal geometry,
Take the Fermat-Wiles proof. It's probably the most significant number theory result of the last century, yet it doesn't contain new profound number theory. Its genius is the use of elliptic curves, which is algebraic geometry.
I'm not saying Mochizuki's proof doesn't contain new profound number theory, but this is a very possible outcome, we just don't know yet.
