Please cause cat viper was flying in the manga when we first met him in you for the first time u need to accept that oda doesn't have any plan for your little carrot other than being a “Yes Sir" background character
CAt viper is not flying. You can't see the word "float" and the japanese equivalent when he jumps.
Why didn't she use when was fighting perospero? The anime adapted from the manga so if u think that the anime isn't more canon like manga I feel sorry for you
Maybe because Perospero is sticky and it's hard to move in the air while their is someone sticking you on the ground ?
Flashbacks are a staple of SH development,
Rectification what are INSIDE the flashback are staples for the strawhats development. Those can be the desire construction, the need, the moral pillar etc. Those thing are important, not the flashback in itself. The flashback is just a tool.
Carrot lacks a concrete one is a huge point against her
Carrot doesn't have the flashback but she has (almost) all the parameters I talked to you about.
that people would be more receptive to you, then you can explain why you think it doesn't matter as much
The whole point is to prove that a strawhat don't need a flashback but the things that are inside it. The wghole point is to push the analysis beyong the simplistic fan base analysis " each strawhat needs a flashback" . This is wrong. A strawhat doesn't really need a flashback. What they need is what's inside of them. And those things can be given in the present.
I have a lotof reason to think that Oda won't use a flashback this time (even tho he still could). So the point is to explain that hypothesis.
Floating is being suspended in air or water or outer space.
Flying is moving through the air by using an internal force
Well flying it is then. Carrot is moving through the air. (changing her trajectory midair) and not jumping at all. So she flew.
And that's perfectly logical. oda already talked about flying rabbit in volume 8
