We just need to take Yamato away from Wano, the rest can stay to make the island flourish:halt:
…Except Raizo :willsmith:

Yeah lol. Been the case for ages back on the OJ threads. You and many others were often arguing against me, yet never once did I genuinely consider that any of you (bar a special someone) may have previously been in an asylum.

Yet here we are, and we've somehow got the feet lickers, the mentally ill, and ravagerblade all united on one side. By default, simply being opposed to that makes you unquestionably in the right.

Got clowns whom I didn't even know existed until today, wallowing about the impact I've had on their lives. Utterly jobless doesn't begin to describe it lmfao

Ur right it truly isn't a surprise how they became so enamoured for Yamao. A retarded 28 year old, living in her parents' basement who's deluded herself into thinking she's someone that matters. You can see why they took so quickly to the character
Remember, y’all, everyone here is a loser on the anime forum EXCEPT the mewling baby who exclusively and religiously shows up to complain about a fictional character he dislikes with people who think he’s an absolute cunt, THAT’S who you wanna emulate if you’re trying to show how cool and detached you are. It’s a good thing nobody ever talks to this pussy in real life, wouldn’t be a single moment of the day when that ass isn’t being kicked :luffyswat:

So reading the Yamato celebration in this thread was an experience to say the least. But...what has really changed? Yamato made another claim to riding with Luffy but actually said it to Luffy's crewmates instead of Luffy or Kaido (can't recall if Yamato said it to anyone else). Is that really enough for a character who hasn't even established an actual ship role or a dream with a definitive end goal? Being "free like Oden" needs more context. Oden was given a purpose as the key for Roger and crew to get to Laugh Tale. Yamato's purpose is... what?

Reviewing the reasons why I see Yamato as a questionable crewmate candidate:
  1. Yamato declared to Luffy about boarding the Sunny in initial stage of raid (because of Ace connection logic) yet Luffy did not even engage in said announcement.
  2. Also from same page, Yamato claims to be Kozuki Oden yet Luffy disagrees. Not a personality trait Luffy cares for in Yamato.
  3. Luffy refuses to call Yamato by name but instead as Yamao which is against Yamato's request. Will Luffy eventually say Yamato as he does with his crewmates?
  4. Momonosuke and Yamato share parallels/connections with physical age, fathers, and Wano. Why did Oda put that much thought in connecting the two?
  5. Yamato spent more time interacting with Momo than Luffy or any other ally. Maybe even more interaction than Kaido. Why not have Yamato focus on Strawhat crewmate interactions rather than interactions with Momo?
  6. RED FLAG ALERT!!! (Not X Drake reference heh) A missed opportunity for character development was how Yamato would have reacted with fake Oden Kanjuro. Add that if Yamato would have stayed with Momo and Shinobu instead of getting anxious to fight then Yamato would have met Kin'emon, Kiku, Kanjuro, AND fought Kaido faster. Kin and Kiku could have supported Yamato against Kaido and may not have been injured as badly. Oda purposely made sure Yamato avoided this set up. Why?
  7. First long interaction with SH crew outside of Luffy is at/near the end of the arc. Previously had a short interaction with Franky, missed opportunity with Robin and Brook, and Jinbe wondering who was stalling Kaido. Not typical from other Strawhats recruitment arcs. Most refused Luffy's recruitment for various reasons and interacted with other SH crewmates during their recruitment arc. Exceptions were Usopp claiming joining would mean Usopp should be the captain lol and Robin claiming Luffy had to take responsibility for letting her live. Both left the crew later (plus Nami and Sanji) to be let back in. Yamato fitting an exception needs merit I don't see.
  8. Yamato declares to SH crewmates about boarding the Sunny (as both Kozuki Oden and Yamato) without approval from Luffy the captain. Concedes this fact when Jinbe brings it up. Why would Oda make Yamato's self invitation questionable?
I'm waiting to see when Luffy wakes up if he will accept Yamato's claim as a Strawhat. At first I didn't see why Luffy would refuse Yamato but for Luffy to say yes even though never actually recruiting Yamato in the slightest would be odd in the sense that Luffy would be submitting to Yamato's will of joining instead of Yamato submitting to or rather following Luffy's will of recruitment. They both have Conquerors Haki but Luffy's should take precedent being the main character.

Also curious how Yamato will interact with Shogun Kozuki Momonosuke face to face. There is bound to be a conversation between the two with Momo thanking Yamato for protecting and supporting Momo through the raid. With Wano lacking manpower Momo may recruit Yamato. IMO, Momonosuke needs Yamato more than Luffy needs/wants Yamato.

Lol more copium from the Carrot fans.

You're just trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. Oda is only doing this because he's trying to milk every last drop of the excitement and aticipation of Yamato joining to increase One Piece manga sales.

Yamato joining has been obvious from the beginning, and her already interacting with the crew last chapter was what sealed the final nail in the coffin.

You Carrot fans keep talking about Yamato's important connection to momo when it was never that important to begin with. Yamato stayed by Luffy's side after Kaido was defeated, and she continued to stay by his side. Strange how you keep harping her importance with Momo when Yamato wasn't even present by his side last chapter as a retainer when Momo declared he was Shogun.

Yamato and Momo's storyline is done, its finished. You're just beating a dead horse at this point.

Yet another case of forced connections between characters. It's really easy to overly emphasize relationships when they fit one's narrative better. We're at a point where, in their mind, basically any character who has interacted even once with the SHs during Wano has more chances to join than Yamato. Copium is one hell of a drug:crazwhat:
