Theory Jinbe's True Color - The Revised Color Theory
- Thread starter Tokiro Oumaga
- Start date
That's what the entire theory is about, yes, who I think is going to join based on the established theme colors of the current crew. I explain in each section who I think fits best for each color and why, though I don't go into too much detail why I think each individual character is a candidate in the first place as I've already gone over those concepts in previous posts. I also provided the relevant links to said previous posts where necessary.
So there are two camps among recruitment theorists: 10 Friends and Straw Hat 13.
The former is based on Luffy's statement at the end of chapter 1 wherein he says he thinks a crew of about ten should suffice. Some believers in this theory count Luffy as one of the ten and feel that no one will join past Jinbe, while others do not count Luffy and feel that only one more will join past Jinbe.
The latter is based on two factors: the word "ichimi," meaning crew, being able to be read as 13 in goroawase (Japanese number-based wordplay), and the MFMM pattern wherein four Straw Hats joined in both East Blue and Paradise, suggesting that four will join in the New World as well. Specifically, a male, a female, then two more males. There's also the Alphabet pattern wherein each of the Straw Hats' names starts with a unique letter that can be lined up with one of thirteen pairs of letters (ex: AB=Brook, CD=Chopper, etc.), suggesting that the remaining three Straw Hats will do the same (specifically GH, OP and WX).
I personally fall in the latter camp, though I have my doubts about the MFMM and Alphabet patterns for my own reasons, but based on your comment, I would wager you're in the former camp?
I won't deny that it's possible that Yamato will join, but if you read the theory I posted, you'll see that I explain why I don't currently put much faith in Yamato.
If there is in fact only one slot left, then I think I've made it more than clear both in this theory and every other theory that I've posted that I believe that one will be Monet. If you disagree, feel free to read over my arguments and address them systematically, I am more than happy to discuss them.
