Not nakama Material no. It only shows that Luffy care more for Carrot than Yamato, period.
So what you're telling me is that it takes Carrot to be in trouble for Luffy to care? Cause when Yamato said that her handcuffs are keeping her priosner, Luffy feeds her just like that.

I know you're saying all this disingenuous shit on purpose, but the lack of thought behind it is pretty jarring.

I figure now is the right time to throw my hat in the ring regarding this topic, it's actually one of the reasons why I decided to register here in the first place. Mostly because it's an interesting discussion that revolves around almost the entire series.

I think my ideal situation would be that both Carrot and Yamato join, I feel that both have a serious potential for interesting storytelling down the line. Though if I had to choose one or the other I would have to lean more towards Carrot. This is because of my personal preference for underdog characters that have to prove themselves.

I'm hoping to bring a unique point of view when it comes to these discussions and some of the harder questions when it comes to this topic.

I know you have to push your agenda but there's no need to be disingenuous. Luffy saving Carrot is no different than the hundreds of other characters he saved. If Yamato was on the floor bleeding like Kin was and about to die, Luffy would've done the exact same thing he always does. Clearly she was okay and even did a combo attack with him so what room was there for him to show pity? Her bleeding?
Nothing is disingenuous here. Luffy has shown traits of affections toward Carrot he hasn't shown toward Yamato. And it's perfectly normal, Carrot is not depicted as a "friend" but an "strong ally". i'm just statin the fact, you make the conclusion.
So the current pro Carrot argument is that Luffy only fought Katakuri to rescue Carrot:milaugh:

You can't make this shit up:gokulaugh:
You are the one who adds the "only" when I was VERY specific and said that in that SPECIFIC page, Luffy was fought to save Carrot first. Don't be sneaky about it.

Actually no. Luffy already cared for Carrot way before that. Remember, Carrot is one of the only protagonist Luffy winglingly shared foor with. And that's not a small feet when we know that Luffy doesn't like to share.

Luffy doesn't care about Yamato like he cares about Carrot. The fact that he took her cuff out doesn't change that, he was just being nice.

Carrot is not a lazy name dude. It's actually perfect :choppawhat:
perfect as in he just picked the most common thing rabbits are known for eating.
Just like the ''massacre soldier'' he named him ''killer'' cause that's what soldiers do they kill.
He even admitted he named killer out of lazyness seems like he did the same with carrot.

You know, the best name is not always the name that is the most researched or the most convoluted. Sometimes, a good name come very earlier on.. sometimes the name is even the first thing created about the character and sometimes it's just obvious.

The name "Carrot" says it all:

- A bright and nice girl
- Someone funny
- Someone quirky
- Someone rabbit like

"Carrot" is therefore the best name Oda could have been given to her.

I would even go as far as saying that if you tried to defy a non one piece fan to draw Carrot just with the name only.. the design would actually be quite close to what we have here.

That's the power of a strong name. Both in the construction and the symbolisms.

All I see is Bullshit.
That's not an objective and logical explanation, just a cringy ass contrived statement.
You really think out of all the characters Oda has drawn and written for, that all these convoluted points you have as to why "Carrot" is something special?
This magical little mink whose barely done anything of note and absent from any of the Antagonists downfalls is somehow "best".

I would normally get pissed. But you, you're just so incoherent and out of touch with reality...
I think you should get some therapy for yourself. Do yourself a favor. Stop reading, get help.

FIrst, you are gonna take your little irrespect with your little hands into your little bag. And you are gonna throw this S* out in a dumbster.. Okay ?

Fine.

Now. What I did is called an analysis.. you might not be use to that so much but trust me it's solid.

The name Carrot by what it is, SPEAKS:

Sun
Brightness
Quirky
Nice

This is because Carrots have huge symbolisms in western culture and Oda knows that. Plus Carrot are mostly associated to Rabbit.

So again, by naming this girl "Carrot" Carrot made a perfect job of characterization. So calling out the lazyness of Oda on that choice is pure and utter BS from a fondamental point of view. Only those who don't know how characterization works would make such bad statements.


Now.. I didn't say that naming Carrot "Carrot" was making the girl special, it's just make her more relatable on a fondamental level because her name speaks volum.

More bullshit after bullshit.
No "carrots" do not have this "huge" symbolism. Carrots and Rabbits together may have a representation from Buggs Bunny but that's as far as it really goes culturally. Making shit up to fit your narrative. Pathetic.
Fundamentally, everything you type is just your view and how you want it to be. That isn't facts, it's very much like how a child acts to get their way.
If you want to talk about names, Yamato still outranks her.
 
Saying that carrot simbolise sun brightness quirky and nice is a bit of a stretch..
I can understand maybe sun, but the others are literally applicable to countless things using the same logic.

And using the same parallelisms, then Robin is a simbolic name?
Zoro is because of Zorro?

There is no special symbolism for Carrot. Guy is just making up stuff as usual. The Dukes are a cat and a dog named 'Cat' and 'Dog'. The Charlotte siblings are named after random food and beverages. But Carrot is supposed to be special for no reason.

Are you telling me that Big Mom is not a symbolic name for a character who is big AND a mom?
