I'm gonna say this:
She's the woman with the highest potential currently.
This fight against Kaido and/or her possible other fight in the arc will solidify that.
Having said that...
Robin also had a tremendous potential.
So....what I'm trying to say is, I'm gonna be thrilled if Yamato kick some ass here in Wano, but I will hold by breath until the next arc to declare if she's top tier material or not.
I HOPE that she is, and I HOPE we have 4 SH's against 4 Admirals in the future. No Blackbeard killing Kizaru BS. All SH's glory.
Also, if Oda is really keeping the "zoro fights 2nd strongest" and "sanji fights 3rd strongest" trending here, I have ZERO reasons to believe Yamato will shake the Monster Trio dynamic. Dude can't even kill a cloud but somehow I'm supposed to believe he's gonna change the Monster Trio in the final 10 minutes of the second half of the game?
Nope.
But if the Monster Trio are the only ones from current SH's to break the 1B bounty milestone, I sure hope Yamato does it as well.

She one shit a flying 6 character in base form with sea stone shackles on casually, a feat which RS Sanji failed to do so on a weaker member of the flying 6.

:kobeha:

You may not enjoy her character, you may think she's trash for emulating Oden, but she's far from being a mere damsel.
"She is barely above Judge's son, that means she is not a damsel" lmao
The fact that you compare her to damsel of all damsels, Judge's son, out of all characters, should tell you how a damsel she is.

Her declaration of "wanna beat/kill Kaido" will be as comedic as Rebecca's declaration of "with Mera Mera I will beat Doflamingo".

P.s.
"Sea stone shackles" :kobeha:

Robin one shotted pell alabasta number 1 warrior and laughed at him. She was crocodile partner too and she got one shotted by him and did NOT even get a fight lol

Ngl, this got me. And yeah I will admit that's true. Judges Son is trash tier for scaling, he makes no difference.
Mb.

What if I compare her to the condom. He's decently strong right?

Alabasta warriors and Tobi Roppi are different settings lmfao. Alabasta warriors were literal dodo water.

:kobeha:

Even Meme required 3 homies to do what Yamato did in one hit.

Smoothie is still stuck at that door.

Yet here you are trying to slander the only semi threat of a female character in the entire series. Can't make this shite up.

After Marimo celebrating that Yamao is less damsel than the likes of Judge's son... now Cinera is celebrating that Yamao gets better treatment than Linlin!!!
Fair enough.
:josad:


Yamato has better treatment as a combatant than even a Shichibukai like Jimbe:
  • Jimbe didn't get the honour of defeating a Number.
  • Jimbe has been fighting a Tobi Roppo for hours with no success.
  • Jimbe was dead equal with Fishman Island G2 Luffy.

Compare Yamato:
  • Yamato debuts by oneshotting a Tobi Roppo.
  • Yamato them embarrasses a pissed off and impatient Post Udon G2/G3 Luffy.
  • Yamato then oneshots a Number.

No doubt. Great for retribution purposes.
I see Luffy and Sabo defeating Akainu.
Most likely Jinbei takes the strongest fourth. :josad:
Idk if its an Admiral.

Fujitora Defects. Aokiji is Sword.
Luffy ~ Akainu
Zoro ~ Kizaru
Sanji ~ Greenbull
Jinbei~ Hidden Strong Combatant (like Jabra, WsW)
Jinbei vs Rob Lucci would be dope!I think Sabo and Revs will fight the Gorosei!
 
#52
Jinbei should've been an ally.
That way the feats would be greater. Now he's gonna be backgrounded. :josad::lusalty:

Just think about it

Eustass Kid: 475M
Trafalgar D. Water Law: 500M
Jinbei: 438M

He's a BIG shot. He deserves a Calamity man.
I hope Yamato doesn't replace him, before he has an official fight.
You don't have to worry about Yamato replacing Jimbe. Shes just another Robin( ie if she joins)

Yamato is reminding me more of Brook. Being a Strawhat candidate almost immediately after their introduction (Luffy asked Brook, Yamato made his intention very clear), being stuck on an island for many years, having history with someone the Strawhats already knew (Laboon/Ace) and now facing the one whose defeat can set them free (Ryuma/Kaido).

So Yamato might not have much of a chance against Kaido (almost certainly) but in a later group effort he could help the other Strawhats like Brook did against Oars.

well she will be saved by Luffy i agree on that but she is not weak or a damsel she is very strong but Kaido is just too much, she can be a commander level and still would have no chance , just think about how BM with Amnesia manhandled Queen. but she would be able to hurt Kaido the same way Killer , Kid and Law did it.
by the way she considers herself a man, she is bold and she didn't have any fears , that is something that the others you mentioned didn't have.

Funny to see how you contradict yourself in your own thread by saying none of the princess ever fought the main villain or thought they could handle them for themselves.

Yamato is more than a princess. Actually she has nothing to do with any princess at all. We already have a princess this arc and is called BItch Motherless Queen of Sluts Hiyori(I may have added something to her name, can't help myself).

If you wanna compare Yamato with someone the best that came up in my mind is Robin that were never truly sided by Crocodile and fought him at the end. Or maybe Franky that fought Luffy for some bullshit reason and became friends later on.
But she did had a mother :josad:

Contrary to what @The Unworthy would have you believe, Yamato is the lone female combatant in the upper echelons (high and top tier) that Oda has treated with dignity and respect. She's formidable, and Oda doesn't need to tell us that because he's shown it quite clearly.

She debuts by oneshotting a Tobi Roppo:

Note that this is a perfect mirror of how Kaido took down Luffy:

The only other character that has taken out a Tobi Roppo with one attack was Linlin, and even then she did it with one of her strongest techniques (and to a less durable version of Ulti):

She casually stalemates a pissed off Luffy:

This was while she had no intention of harming him and so didn't even attempt to fight back, only seeking to get him to hear her out:

She forces Luffy to give up and listen to her:

She casually fends off a Tobi Roppo while chatting with Luffy and daydreaming about Momonosuke being her son:

She withstands a relentless barrage of cannon fire while decimating Sasaki's Armoured Division and protecting Momonosuke and Shinobu:

She bared her fangs at Sasaki and had him shook.

She oneshots a Number, further scaring a Tobi Roppo:

In her flashback, Ace said she was too strong not to be a captain:

Ace was unable to overcome her for the duration of the fight:

Note that all of her above feats have been performed without the use of her Devil Fruit.



Conclusions
Since her introduction, Yamato has been racking up an unending streak of Ws. Leaving aside her female counterparts, Oda hasn't depicted most male combatants with the same respect. If Yamato is a damsel, then 99% of One Piece's male combatants are damsels as well.

Her fight with Luffy in particular stands out. The only other people that have so casually handled G2/G3 Luffy have been Doffy, Cracker and Katakuri (all solid high tiers). However, the Luffy Yamato fought is considerably stronger than the Luffy either of them fought, as this was Luffy after his Udon training. Compared to his WCI version, Post Udon Luffy had:
  • Much stronger observation haki: Future Sight
  • Much stronger armament haki: barrier armament and penetration armament
  • Significantly higher base stats: Udon training in the Karouseki handcuffs

Yet this same Luffy was treated by Yamato like a petulant child.

The hype Oda has given Yamato is through the Roof, and he has consistently delivered and followed through on that hype with unblemished portrayal.

I know some people are sceptical of Yamato's standing as a combatant given Oda's horrendous track record with female fighters, but Oda has had ample opportunity to undermine Yamato as a fighter, and has instead done the opposite at every turn. As such, this is one occasion where I trust Oda to deliver.
Yes, at this point it's obvious.
Yamato is competent, she can fight, is a certified badass (and I like badasses) and looks stunning.
I am liking her more and more. Just make her grow out of the Oden stuff.

Yeah of course he his. The guy is the strongest creature in the world, ofc Luffy will save her.
