Again
"I'm going to sail the seas with Luffy"
That directly contradicts starting the new beast pirates. That has gone 100% out the window after her declaration to Kaido.
Yet Luffy NEVER say OK to her request.

That would be cool! Altough she and Tama never talked so far in the story,but Luffy and Ace can connect them.
Although I on the opinion of Yamato joining SH, but to have possibilities for Yamato and Tama join hand is a fun idea. They can sails the seas out of Wano just as their dream both since beginning but still can pledge under SH Grand Fleet.
 
That's not how bars work, lol. It's a low bar because it's very easy to pass, not because it's of little importance.

It's very easy to meet someone that can fight in the new world. That doesn't mean it isn't absolutely essential to be able to fight in order to join the crew at this stage.
And Yamato has a whole arc to pass this bar, so what's the problem?

Also find me another Straw Hat candidate on Wano who can clash with Hybrid Kaido.

Except that he did though, lol. On numerous occasions. Including multiple very stand out moments in the arc. Go refresh your memory.
You mean when Sanji addressed Ussop, Nami and Zoro together at the table ? Lmfao where did Sanji ever interact with Zoro at Baratie? Sanji only gave a special drink to Nami and got scolded by Ussop for serving him mushrooms. Sanji had more interaction with Luffy on Baratie than anyone else in the crew.

Jinbe still joins since he's very familiar with the crew as a whole. He's known Luffy since before the timeskip, he fought alongside all the straw hats during the battle at fishman island and was in the big spread with them.
And then at WCI he further interacted with the group. As previously mentioned, recently when someone's about to join the crew, Oda tends to have them develop a more significant relationship with 1 or 2 existing members in particular other than Luffy.

Chopper had Nami and Sanji
Robin is an obvious exception with narrative reasoning
Franky had Robin and Usopp
Brook had Zoro and Franky
Jinbe had Nami and Sanji

They don't have to have a specific interaction with each and every single member of the crew, but they need to be known and associated with enough of them that their integration into the family would feel natural. There's heaven and earth between how the crew knows Jinbe (even before he joined) and how the crew knows...or rather *doesn't know Yamao.
And Yamato has already interacted with Luffy and Franky.

Your also using jinbe as a example and allowing his interactions from 2 different arcs Fishman Island and WCI- neither of which are the arcs where Jinbe is introduced, but your only allowing Wano for Yamato, the arc's she's introduced?? The bulk of Carrot's interaction also happened during WCI, not in the Zou Arc. Don't be a hypocrite.

You can read around the panels posted above too. It's multiple pages of just the future straw hat talking/interacting with the current straw hats. It always happens. It can even be an antagonistic interaction such as in the case with Robin. Nonetheless, Oda always makes sure to present them very early on to the crew and rapidly makes them a familiar face, not only to readers, but to the actual straw hats themselves.

There were many easy opportunities for Oda to do this with Yamao. As I said, she literally ran past the entire crew in order to get to the top of Onigashima. We've seen how frequently people move around and interact with one another in comedic ways such as Sanji, Zoro and Law recently, or Usopp, Nami and Tama. Oda completely skipped all of that with Yamao. Her only real interactions were with Momo and Shinobu despite all the straw hats being right there along her path.
All of the examples you have quoted above happened in different stages of an arc, with Franky and Jinbe's being very late into their respective arcs. If this is okay for Franky and Jinbe, why isn't okay for Yamato? Again, hypocrite much?

Not yet anyway. But what would be her motivation to start a new pirate crew with Tama? That's frankly absurd. There's no reason for it. Obviously Yamato is going to ask Luffy to let her join at the end of Wano. Do you think he will say no even though he invited random crap like zombie trees? If so do you think Yamato will just accept that when her idol Oden was rejected by whitebeard and wouldn't take no for an answer?

Not YET. Did Luffy look interested with Yamato over their conversation at the attic then? Hardly so.
Yamato and Tama have connections with Ace originally.

Having a mutual friend does not mean they will start a pirate crew together. Again, how do you think the conversation will go when Yamato asks Luffy to join after the raid? Explain to me how that ends with Yamato not joining.
 
Only if you're intentionally trying to ignore and downplay the importance of relationships and group dynamics within the main cast and a crew like the straw hats in order to make excuses for a total rando to rat her way in.
And your intentionally ignoring the fact that every straw hat who joined had a arc dedicated to them where they were the main character and that they also had their freedoms oppressed, physically speaking, or dream wise-and bonded with Luffy after he helped free them from their oppressions. It's the most important interaction between a potential straw hat and Luffy, the Straw Hat's captain and our story's main protagonist. As if group dynamics (which isn't even anything important beyond superficial groupings and comedic gags) is more important than bonding with Luffy, our story's main protagonist. besides, groupings aren't even consistent-Franky who used to represent the father of the crew, has now been replaced by Jinbe, changing Franky into the grandma. So much for group dynamics. Franky and Robin who used to be interacting together as a duo, has been changed to Robin and Jinbe as the most mature duo, and Franky and Brook together as another duo in the Wano Arc.

Your the one intentionally trying to downplay the importance of Yamato and Luffy's relationship in order to make excuses for a total rando rabbit who got introduced by popping in front of zoro out of nowhere, who also popped on the ship out of nowhere, and is also nowhere to be seen in the past good couple of chapters in the Wano Arc, the most important arc Post Time Skip thus far.

Well Yamato was needed to transforms to face Sasaki, meanwhile Sanji Base make Queen go to Hybrid mode.

Only portrayal that her have above Sanji is because she is fighting Kaidou Right now!


She is not stronger than Zoro and Luffy, but she could be steonger than Sanji, but in finals arcs him surpassing her.

What i see for BB matchups she can face Avalo Pizarro.

Yamato was in a rush to find Momo and wasn’t interested in focusing on Sasaki, she could have easily started transforming because she knows her Zoan form is sufficient to handle things quickly :kayneshrug:

Yeah it truly does not matter if yamato meet the crew before joining. In fact it would interesting to see how she integrates the crew because she lives lonely for 20 years in onigashima. Guys you should stop your fixation on patterns and criteria manga is art not science.

They are grasping with the fixation on patterns and criteria because its the only excuse they are left with to use, they don't have anything better.

Yamato's character theme is literally freedom. Her entire narrative builds on this point: the handcuffs, the reading of Oden's diary, the conversation with Ace about the outside world;

What do you think the scene of Luffy breaking Yamato's chains means? It's not hard to understand.

For Oda leaves her in Wano after the end of the arc he will need an excellent justification, otherwise his writing will be worse than Isayama with the Tatakae boy:wellwell:
