First to make it clear despsite the apparence im on the side that both will join the crew. Luffy does not like yamato pretending to be oden. For all we know luffy do not care about the d clan and being someome important. In the end of the day yamato just want to go on adventure and sail, she not going to pretend that she Is oden forever. Her reason to be with the strawhat would not be that much important or different than those of carrot.
Yamato could drop the Oden act and still inherit his will. Sanji wants to find the all blue like Zeff, did Luffy think he's an idiot for that?

Again, Yamato has a potential role to play, and important one. Carrot doesn't. Newcomers may not understand this but what makes a strong candidate a Straw Hat is how important their roles in the narrative will be. Paulie's argument fell apart the moment we learned Franky had the blue prints for Pluton and played a role in Tom's death
 
Most incriminating thing about Carrot is that she was happy in Zou. There was no conflict, she wasn't an outcast and there's nothing in her past that particularly shaped her into who she was by the time she meet the SHs.

Instead, the argument is that for the first time, just for Carrot, Oda will completely develop and change SH candidate during the present.
Her character is about discovering the world and it cruelty. It make sense that she does not have a sad backstory.

What does yamato having oden will implies for the story what would be her future role. Also mink have been waiting for the dawn of the world and we do not know why.

Because we know Oden wanted to help Roger find the One Piece, but as Roger and Rayleigh pointed out they were too early. Yamato could be the one who alongside Luffy(Roger) complete the One Piece

Bullets don't hurt. But Taxes do.

So the literal opposite of what he's been doing with the SHs. Once again, why is Carrot special?

SHs are literally discovering the world along with it's true history. Carrot will tag along just because with no narrative or thematic purpose?

We still do not know what the mink role with rge dawn of the world. All the strawhats does not have to be the same.

Doesn't make sense really... That theme doesn't fit this late... Every SHs have done past that... Having someone in the crew with that in mindset would be a great burden and a regression/downgrade...

We still do not know what the mink role with rge dawn of the world. All the strawhats does not have to be the same.

The mink tribe is an affiliate of the Kozukis, so there you go: the minks' role is for them to help Wano prepare to open the borders and for the return of Joy Boy... Their role is greatly attached to Wano...
 
Watching the latest episode of the anime just made me realize that the shadow that was spying on Robin and Jinbe when the crew first entered Kaido's castle in the manga was actually Yamato herself. This just makes Yamato meeting Luffy all the more intentional, once again disproving the argument that Yamato was introduced into the Wano Arc out of nowhere.

I was talking about when Yamato was watching the straw hats land and disembark on Onigashima in episode 984. In the manga, its only hinted that they were being watched, just one panel of showing Robin and Jinbe waliking away with their backs turned.

I didn't know what that was then, but the episode literally shows that it was Yamato all along.
 
If oda does not spend time on her character ( that she join or not) then he is a bad writer.
Oda is not a bad writer just because he doesn’t fulfill your fetish. Period

Many characters shared pain with the SHs so why is Carrot special?

Many characters fought with the SHs so why is Carrot special?

Many characters traveled with the SHs so why is Carrot special?

All the SHs has had said pasts but Carrot was happy so why is Carrot special?

All of the SHs had a special bond moment with Luffy but not Carrot so why is Carrot special?

All of the SHs had one of the biggest roles in their arcs while Carrot has been a side character so why is Carrot special?

All of the SHs has narrative and thematics reasons to travel but Carrot has none so why is Carrot special?

Luffy has shown more interest in Yamato than Carrot and even trusted Yamato in protecting Momo so why is Carrot special?

You're just saying Carrot is special just because....
his fetish

Carrot plot would have been pointless in the most important arc to date. He would have create a pointless character and shitty character and you wiil be okay with that. Her plot has to go somewhere.

Also im defending carrot because i genuinely think she will join. Carrot is not my favorite character or one of the greatest character.

that shadow thing happened one chapter after kaido mentioned his son it doesn't change anything in terms of when yamato was introduced. not to mention yamato was already hidden in oden's flashback many chapters before that shadow.

what do you think the payoff of carrot’s storyline is then?
She'll become one of the important "generals" of the unified mink army alongside the musketeers in place of Pedro (she'll be the d'Artagnan of the army)...
