Fudge:
By analysing the story, we can see that they are 10 big parameters of construction with different range of importance that all the strawhats are sharing.
For each parameters, I will distribute a few points relatively to their importance.
Here are the 10 pillars of construction for a strawhat:
- The quirk. 1 point because it's quite common in One Piece.
- The fighting skill 1 Point, it's quite common.
- The antagonistic introduction. 2 Points because it impact the narration interestingly.
- The multi layered characterization. 3 Points, Interesting but quite common.
- The symbolic reach. 3 Points because it impacts the storytelling in an interesting way.
- The Strong character arc. 4 Points because strong character arc are in fact quite rare.
- The hint of a recrutment. 4 Points. I'll explain in detail what this parameter is about.
- The hint of 3 driving forces. 5 Points, you will understand why.
- The post. 5 Points, this is one of the most important parameter
- The Shining Nakama Action. 6 Points, this is the icing on top of the wedding cake
The quirk
Like most of the character in One Piece the strawhats can be both serious and hilarious. That why each members of the crew have one or more funny quirk related their characterization. Those quirks are here to emplify the comedic aspect of the story but it is also a tool to add interactions and storylines.
Let's see that in the crew
- Luffy is the captain of the crew, but he is most of the time completely childlish.
- Zoro is a pirate hunter who always gets lost
- Sanji is a gentleman who is completely dominated by his love for women
- Nami is an intelligent navigator but she is completely overwhelmed by the stupidity of her crewmate
- Usopp is a God afraid of everything
- Franky is a giant Cyborg with changing hairs and shiny nipples
- Chopper is a monster acting like a child, making him often completely clueless about certain situations, also he can't hide properly
- Robin is a silent spy who is very imaginative but in a sadic way, still, she loves cute things.
- Brook is always joking about is lack of bodypart even tho this is very sad.
- Jinbe is always formal, meaning that he can have strange reactions in certain serious situations like asking to name a battle plan before the execution.
Concerning our 5 characters...
On this one all the characters beside Marco gets one point. Indeed the comical aspect of Marco as not been introduced yet.
- Tama is a little girl who has quirky reactions in front of danger, mostly when Luffy is in danger.
- Momo is a perverse man with a fear of danger that makes him transform into a Heel.
- Yamato is a confused individual who has strange reaction with people when she tries to impersonnate her idol.
- Carrot is a bunny teenager who is completely in love with adventure, Carrot loves to mimic the strawhats, mainly Chopper and she gets furiously savage when someone take her Carrots, but pat her and she will be happy again. She is also completely clewless most of the time
Points:
Marco : +0 (0)
Tama : +1 (1)
Momonosuke : +1 (1)
Yamato : +1 (1)
Carrot : +1 (1)
This is how a good analaysis work.. breaking down one by one each parameters.. This was the first one. the 1rst most objective parameters that all the strawhat are sharing.. As you can see.. right now.. it's pretty even as the parameters are pretty regular in the story.
Now, follow
THIS link to get to the rest (blog). And you will understand why Carrot is objectively, the best candidate right now.. and that without even taking the real narration into account, just the obvious patterns.
Really. instead of asking me the evidence, you should just take a look.
If that's not enough.. I will copy paste the rest here.
