What are you mumbling about? Yamato has said that she “wants to go to the sea with Luffy after kicks Kaido out of Wano” which pretty much because she’s been locked in Onigashima to be Kaido’s shogun, which Yamato blatantly denies.
And here is all the irony in this story : Sailing with the strawhats would grant freedom to Larrot, that's for sure, but NOTHING would grant her as much freedom as for her to choose by herself to become the guardian of Zou! The freedom to choose her own path with her own vision on how this should be done and all of that because of HER will...
You know, if you don't know what to say, you can just ignore my message... Trying to prove me wrong by copying the narrative logic of Yamato on Carrot won't get you very far lol
What funny is that here:
If Larrot was setup as a Straw Hat, what Oda would do is not affirming Larrot’s desire to have an adventure, he would show Larrot (the plain basic bland bunny which people thought as a grown up icon while she’s underaged) work together with the Straw Hats.
There you go. I use your logic against you. And did you read where I said your headcanons don’t matter? Keep coping.
... you perfectly described Whole Cake. What is even funnier is that Carrot only mentionned wanting to go on adventure once and from that point had multiple other desires.. even in Wano
anyway with your logic, if Yamato suddenly wants to be Wano’s guardian, then it’s perfect from narrative point of view that Luffy doesn’t give any shit and will just force her to join instead. The same case like Robin wanted to die, but Luffy asked her to say she wanted to live, which she did and she joined the crew back. Franky didn’t want to join, but Luffy forced him to join.
Not suddenly, gradually. That's why I talked about a concept called "development inertia". Yamato is not different, but instead of having her inertia slowing down toward a stay in Wano by the words, her inertia is slowing down with her actions. Pretty simple in fact.
The difference between Robin / Franky and Yamato is that their desires to stay were based on false logic. In other words: Franky wanted to stay because he thought that his family needed him when it was not the case & Robin wanted to die because she thoughts that it was the best thing to do to avoid the massacre of her friends when in fact this was not the case.
If you really want to compare Yamato with someone, you should compare her journey to the journey of Vivi. Vivi thought that staying with her people instead of joining the crew was the best thing and it was. The same way, the fact that Yamato will choose to stay to help Momo will be the good thing to do: Because Momo needs guidance and because Wano needs her.
You see.. like that, Yamato's journey become pretty clear.
You want Yamato to stay as a guardian, so you say her choosing her path - to become the guardian specifically - is true freedom. You see what you do, take a true statement and put in some headcannon, to make it more believable. Why is her chosing to do what you want true freedom, instead of doing what she wanted to do since she was little? This is nothing but wishful thinking about her suddenly changing her mind, as anyone reading the story can see Yamato has no such motive.
Wrong, you missundertood what I just said. I did not said that Yamato choosing her own pass to stay a guardian was true freedom. I said that CHOOSING her own path with her own vision on how this should be done and all of that because of HER will... WAS true freedom.
And this is not an headcanon, this is a life's truth (and one of the biggest message of One Piece). Being able to choose our own path with our own vision rather than being dictated one IS true freedom.
And why this one rather than the other ? Because on one end you escape the dictat, on the other you annihilate it.
Yamato won't "suddenly" change her mind.. her mind is being changed as with speak:
her actions talk more than her words.
Perhaps if Yamato is meant to be the Guardian of Wano like Kaido told her, then I guess Luffy is also going to join the Marines since Garp trained him specifically to join. Or maybe Luffy will also stay in Wano, since Hyogoro also called him a Guardian Deity. Since the series is always about doing what others tell you to do, rather than following your dreams that you've had for decades, it's the only way the story can go. It's a shame, really. I wanted to see the characters be free to achieve their dreams, but orders are orders.
Well, with his logic, if Yamato suddenly changes her motive to be Wano’s guardian, it’s perfect from narrative point of view that Luffy doesn’t give a fuck and forces her to join instead. Robin wanted to die, Luffy forced her to live. Franky didn’t want to join, Luffy forced him to join.
By him saying that Yamato suddenly wants to be Wano’s guardian, it’s all according to plan that Luffy will just force her to join. Now that is, subverting expectations for “surprise factor”
This is the problem with you guyz.. You are mixing up "being Wano's shogun" and "being exactly what her father wanted her to be"
If I take this into metaphore, it's like if you were saying that a man wanting to be president was doing exactly the same that his father (a dictator) wanted him to be by being the next great leader.
Do you see the problem with your logic ? Let me rephrase that to make you
REALLY understand:
-
For Kaido, being the guardian of Wano or the next Shogun means to be able
to be abdolutely ruthless and install a pirate empire.. in other words: to create hell on earth.
On the other hand...
-
For a good leader, being the guardian of Wano or the next shogun means to be able to
open the country, nurrish the poor and make a paradise out of the country.
Voila! Do you see the difference now? Do you see why Yamato becoming the guardian of Wano or even the next Shogun would mean something COMPLETELY different that "being what her father wanted her to be" ?
I really hope so..
