All great examples of mental gymnastics when we have the very easy and simple reality that Yamato will go to sea because it’s her dream to do so.
Hiyori would be the example of the usual arc princess. Even Momo is more in that mould given how useless he was for a good chunk of Wano.
Yamato, even if not joining, would be a Law figure, not a princess. The One Piece damsel in distresses aren’t the dynamic fighting figures that Yamato is
Well done, you’ve managed to arrive at the shocking revelation that not everything a character said will come true. If I had a sticker to hand out I’d give it to you, this is a genuine improvement from your Jinbei days.
Of course, you’ve still yet to provide any convincing arguments for why Yamato saying she’ll go to sea with Luffy is one of those moments, but baby steps.
And it’s even more possible Yamato won’t change her mind and will just do what she said she’ll do and sail with Luffy.
You’re also throwing in a lot more “possibles” and “mights” now, not the absolute convictions you started with.
Yes, I can admit I’m wrong, we’ll see how well you take it when Carrot continues to not sail with the Strawhats.
I still win cause I got the man I really wanted in Jinbei, so Yamato’s just a bonus.
No, I believe what I was arguing was that the Dawn was opening Wano’s borders which was a massive deal that served to signify the beginning of the end of One Piece.
Not a “small Wano subplot”
There’s never been much worry about Carrot’s association with it, but even I didn’t think her and the Minks would get the shafting she eventually did.
Wano can hold for as long as Oda wants them to hold, and Luffy’s journey to Laugh Tale, which is far more important than Yamato gaining allies that Lufy already has, will be reached extremely soon in series. One Piece is coming to an end. The Strawhats are pretty much on a set course now.
No, it‘s a really shit argument that makes no sense at all. Where you get this idea that the aftermath of Wano will be Momo and Yamato randomly sailing off into the sunset together in search for allies I have no clue.
Can’t say yet until we know why Wano is so important to all these figures and why it had to be shut in the first place.
I’ll be surprised if it‘s CP0 playing the Perry role and sailing up with the gunboats and forcing them into it, though. Seems more likely that Oda will want to end the Wano arc with a victory and them opening the borders through their own choice. Perhaps as Luffy’s openly declared territory. Perhaps they’ll decide to bide their time until after Luffy gets to Laugh Tale.
“Threads.” There’s one thread and that’s “why are the Strawhats important.“ She’ll find that out along with everyone else at the end of the arc and that’s it for her. A short stint as a cover story awaits her, which is more focus than she’s had on Wano at least.
Oh yeah, who can forget that time Luffy said Carrot’s name in a list inckuding Brulee. Memorable.
Don’t give a fuck what names Luffy calls Yamato, these moments shit all over anything Luffy has ever done with Carrot.
