Describing Yamato's merits isn't goalposting lol. Nothing in my post changed the argument at hand.
Yes it is. If we're talking specifically about Yamao as a guardian of Wano and then you suddenly go off on a tangent and start talking about panel time and listing off the first Yamao4nakama arguments that pop into your head, then yes, you are moving the goalposts by not responding to the specific topic we were both originally discussing.
You see how you have to make up "feelings" for Yamato to try and argue your point? How she "would" react if she saw something distressing in Wano? This is the same BS arguments I dealt with when people were going ballistic for Sanji vs King, how Sanji "would" protect Momo because King "would" totally go after as him.
I'm not making up any feelings. Simply following her established characterisation.
And your other counterpoint would be like Franky keeping a permanent obligation to the Franky Family, or Jinbe never leaving FI or his crew, or Sanji never leaving Baratie, or Chopper never leaving Kureha. Yamato's history with Wano does not bound her to Wano, especially when she herself has made several claims to leaving with Luffy already
Except for the major difference that Yamao doesn't have a proper relationship with Wano. The Franky Family, Sun pirates, Baratie, Kureha, they all loved their respective straw hats and shared great times with one another over many years. And none of them were actually still needed in their islands of origin.
The Franky Family was fully accepted into society, the sun pirates never wanted to be pirates, The 20 MDs were all back in Sakura Kingdom so there were tons of doctors and Zeff had been trying to get rid of Sanji for a while.
This is literally the complete opposite with Yamao. The people of Wano don't know her and they are in dire need of a guardian and guiding figure The set up is all there. The reason Orochi became a villain is because he was persecuted for the crimes of his clan. Wano citizens literally created their own villain. This will be the perfect redemption for them to accept Yamao despite being Kaido's daughter and allow her to help them.
