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:
Thing is Momo already left with the scabbards last chapter as the Shogun of Wano, without Yamato with him, she was with the Straw Hats and Luffy instead.

What's Oda gonna do? Have Yamato walk back her statements, apologies to the straw hats to say that she was wrong and wanted to join momo instead, and then catch up with Momo and the retainers when they already left??

:kaidowhat:

Forget overemphasis of their relationship, Momo and Yamato didn't even leave with any parting words, even listening to Momo's speech, Yamato heard that from standing next to Franky lmfao.

I totally agree, in fact this may be an intentional portrayal of her absence in the scene. Yamato as a character has no real place to be with Shogun Momo and his retainers, her job in Wano was done the moment the beast pirates got routed, which would finally allow her to fulfill her desire to leave out at sea, with Ace's brother if I may add, so it adds narrative purpose to it. This is why I also think this could be a good chance for her to stop using the Oden persona, she's finally letting go of the shackles Wano had around her, and allows her to live as herself out at sea. Meanwhile you got people going "well Tama hugged Nami therefore she wants to go with the strawhats" or "well Yamato helped out Momo get his shit together, this will totally throw out her entire character development and make her stay behind in Wano", like what in the fresh hell is the mindset behind a "theory" like that?

A really good point that some ignored. If Oda wanted Yamato to still be tied to Wano then why separate her from Momo in his most important moment? Its clear that they will go different ways, but some are now coping saying that she will lead the beast pirates even though she hates them:seriously:

If anything the beast pirates should be disbanded, she's never had any attachment to these morons. I figure some of the gifters will stay loyal to Tama and remain behind to help out, with the rest just straight up booted out for good. Moral of the story is, don't do copium kids, you get completely disconnected from reality if you huff too much of it

This. The biggest argument against her literally died this chapter. :suresure:
 


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.
Not a fan of Carrot becoming a crewmate.

How weak these counter responses are to questioning if Yamato may not join is telling. Copy and paste the same memes and "Carrot isn't joining" is just unoriginal and lazy.

Oda could be milking the possibility Yamato may join. Nothing is sealed. Oda through Jinbe literally stated it ain't up to Yamato but the captain which is Luffy. You're throwing out that statement to fit your narrative.

I'm reminding people that Yamato has more chapters/panels with Momo than anyone else except maybe Kaido. You don't think that's odd or questionable on why?

Yamato is not a retainer. No reason for Yamato to be with Shogun Kozuki Momonosuke during his speech to the Wano citizens. As I stated Momo thanking Yamato is a possibility. The Strawhats have yet to get a copy of the Road Poneglyph in Wano so more interactions are on the way.
@Berry Rich is still making shit up I see
What did I make up?

You do know that the pages about Laugh Tale in Oden’s journal are being torn, right? Momo was asking what Rogers and others were laughing at and did it have anything to do with Wano’s border stay closed. Yamato has more panels with Momo simply because Luffy told her to protect the main character of the arc from being killed at any way possible. And if Momo says thank you to Yamato, it’s also for Momo to say that Yamato should go out and represent Wano to reveal Laugh Tale’s mystery while Momo stays as the true shogun of Wano.

Yamato has already shown when interacting with momo she is not interested in babysitting him or looking after him as a character. it is also very odd that momo is going against the narrative that was set up back in zou. Momo does not want to open boarder of wano just yet. There might be a reason why he does not want to do it. The state that wano is in right now or It could also be the external power that his father had mention. Whatever that external power is kept wano from opening it's borders. This could give Yamato a task alongside the strawhats in understanding what oden saw and trying to challenge this extendable power alongside with the strawhats and the allies they have made against this force. Remember back in fishman island the fishman were not open to the idea of humans and fishman really living on the surface with one other. Even after Luffy defeated hordy jones the kids of the fishman wanted hero hats. But the adults were still afraid going to the surface.

This arc's ending has been the very definition of Occam's razor and people are still hyping up Momo x Yamato and last minute twists?

The moment Momo became shogun as he said a dozen times should've made it clear what the other person who repeated her main goal a dozen times will do. They're built on contrasting parallels and are going in opposite directions. The one stuck in Wano finally gets to leave while the one kept out is finally able to rule. They both made their declaration to Kaido and got the thumbs up by Ace/Luffy for a reason.

Arguing "B-but Jinbe said to wait on Luffy." is the same as people unironically thinking Hiyori would be the shogun over Momo cause of last chapter's cliffhanger. He didn't put his dream on delay when the time came for obvious reasons and Yamato isn't doing the same.

But that would require thinking logically. Remember who you're talking to:milaugh:

I do know the pages to Laugh Tale were torn. And sure, Momo could ask Yamato to represent Wano in finding out what's on Laugh Tale if it relates to opening Wano. BUT...that all depends on if Luffy wants Yamato as a crewmate.

To reiterate, it doesn't matter what Momo nor Yamato want when it comes to the Strawhats.
How about you read my reply to @KonyaruIchi cause I don't like repeating myself.
Really? Okay.

*reads statement*

Well I addressed your point about the possibility of Momo and Yamato interacting after Momo's speech since the Strawhats don't have the Wano Road Poneglyph copy as of now. So Yamato can be present when Momo, Hiyori, and the retainers show the Road Poneglyph to the Strawhats. After all, "Yamato is a Strawhat" to most here so should be present since no actual parting has happened. The Strawhats are still in Wano. You made it seem like the Strawhats will not see Momo after the speech.
They are the children of Oden and Kaido, the main figures of this whole plot line, makes sense that they would be paired
Good point. So wouldn't it make sense for the pairing to continue?
Yamato has already shown when interacting with momo she is not interested in babysitting him or look after him as a character. it is also very odd that momo is going against the narrative that was set up back in zou.

So you're saying Momo not wanting to open Wano's borders now may give Yamato a task to do with the Strawhats to help solve that matter? That's a fair take but the opposite may be had with Yamato staying in Wano with its borders closed to help protect Wano while it rebuilds and regroups. Wano has to rebuild 20 years worth of damage. Not going to happen overnight.

No it is not. There is nothing stated that Hiyori could be Shogun. That was pure speculation.

Oda wrote those words of doubt for Jinbe to say. And as I originally stated, Luffy never acknowledged Yamato initially stating to Luffy about riding on Sunny. Luffy was more concerned about correcting Yamato not being Kozuki Oden.

I do believe Yamato will eventually go out to sea and have adventures but those adventures don't have to be with the Strawhats.

And you make it seem like as if Yamato is gonna go back on her word and change her mind after just telling the crew, in front of their faces that she's joining the crew?

And it’s already been mentioned again & again there is slim to 0% chance for Luffy, the one who invited a zombie tree & a zombie horse, the one who accepted Robin where others thought she was the enemy; to reject Yamato.
