He isn't here for Wano dummy.

See this is why on one should argue with you, if you can even read One Piece or talk honestly why deal with you?
The WG wants Wano man. Ryokugyu may be here for Luffy but taking Wano is a bonus.

If you can’t handle different opinions that’s your own issue. I don’t think Yamato was handled well at all. You’re free to disagree but that’s my opinion on the matter

No he is here to get Luffy thats it, WG is pretty much gone at this point they just ran into Big Moms Crew.

The Gorosei said it they can't take Wano with the borders closed, Ryokugyu is on his own mission no one elses.

Ohh please just cause you have an opinon doesn't mean anything, no one has to respect shit especially if you just ignore the series like the dumb dumb you are.

The WG wanted Wano but the Gorosei assumed it was impenetrable. Ryokugyu proved them to be a bunch of incompetent buffoons and they’re gonna try to take it now that they know they can. Ryokugyu came there for Luffy but that’s beside the point

Dude when you’re having a discussion with someone who disagrees with you, you can’t just resort to ad hominem and ignore what they’re actually saying. You’re just calling me dumb without addressing my arguments


no they don't, Sakazuki doesn't even want GB there.
See above

Greenbull is not there to please the Gorosei, he's there for Sakazuki hence why's going after Luffy
 
She was crying in her backstory sure, but it doesn’t change what I’m saying

What about if/when Greenbull decides to come back? You don’t think he could easily destroy the samurai and minks? Wano needs a guardian
Where does it show that Wano Needs a Guardian deity not to mention why would gb come back to wano when they were saying outside of wano is a mess rn?
Cut the crap nothing is there for Yamato no purpose and reason to be in Wano just you are coping and trying to create something just because u don't want her to leave

Yes but what he intends is beside the point. Once the Gorosei find out how easily he waltzed in there, they’re probably gonna try to invade it
😭😭😭😭 Did you read the chapter?
 
Yamato's """"follow up"""" was a minor fanservice gag. Her saying she wanted to join didn't get brought up at all. You realize that's what I was talking about, right?

But Yamato not appearing in the spread is not a good sign for her considering that this is supposed to be her arc. Imagine if Brook didn't appear in the party at the end of Thriller Bark
The proper answer to her invitation is being saved for when they do Jinbe's delayed toast. It couldn't be more clear with him telling her to wait on Luffy's answer, both of them randomly being absent from the toast this chapter, and the looming title connection "The Sake I Brewed to Drink With You, Straw Hat Luffy".

It's already set in stone that Luffy will address it and given how glued together they've been since he woke up, it's copium to think he'll just say no. That's probably why you're banking on a last minute Greenbull twist.
It's shit because Yamato
1. Is painfully underdeveloped
2. Was clearly not something the author had in mind until Act 3 started
3. Had a backstory shorter than Kawamatsu's
4. Has no meaningful relationship with Luffy or the Strawhats
5. Has nothing she can do better than the rest of the crew
You bring up Brook, yet he had a full chapter of interacting with the crew at the start of the arc before he joined for real at the end
And Jimbei did have a proper flashback. Tiger and Otohime showed how Jimbei developed the ideals he currently has by learning from both of them
Jinbe was a side character for almost all of his flashback, has a dream that was never explicitly stated, and a role that was never a problem for the crew.
You wanna know why the most discussed thing about Yamato is her pronouns/gender? It's because there's nothing else there besides her Oden larp.
Or maybe sexuality/gender identity is one of the most controversial topics. If Zoro came out as trans next chapter, that's the main thing people would be talking about.
A main character needs to actually have some kind of importance, especially in what is supposed to be their arc.
Compare these two scenes side-by-side to understand what I'm talking about here
Yamato's treatment isn't even on the same level as a character like Rebecca
Kaido is Yamato's father who imprisoned her for 20 years, yet we aren't given any kind of indication how she was emotionally affected by Luffy defeating him.
In these last couple chapters, Oda's done a good job at writing conclusions for characters like Momo or Kinemon or Tama. But he couldn't do this for Yamato, who is supposed to be a main character.
In Franky's arc, the primary focus and Luffy's main motivation was Robin. The only trust you see between him and Franky is when he told him to protect Robin. It took until the very end of the arc for Luffy to show any interest in wanting him to join.
Yamato isn't joining. She's the most obvious red herring ever. She's staying in Wano as its guardian deity after Greenbull's power makes her realize how fucked Wano is without someone strong to stay and protect it. The lack of a role alone is enough to kill the possibility of her joining.
Right, she spent 2 decades watching the oppressive power Kaido had over Wano yet someone weaker than him will be the one to change her mind on the last minute. A whole week in Wano mainland and her df has yet to be cared for outside of one chapter by Kaido.
 
In my eyes, it define everyone here except me because fuck you except:
- mods
- admin
- leakers
- (people with power to invoke punishment for saying fuck you)
- (anyone whom saying fuck you to would invoke mod/admin punishment)
- People who kill other people for saying fuck you.

Does anyone agree with the following statement?

For a side character, Carrot is treated really well.
:brootea:
:luuh:
 


fascination and curiosity to meet the world, tomboy personality, similar transformation and now even minor interactions.
i said a few times carrot was a prototype of yamato. oda gave yamato everything he gave carrot so he could do it again but better because this time he added more dimensions to those characteristics giving yamato a real backstory while carrot backstory was just never left home. yamato brings every thing carrot brings and more
My presumption is that those nakama candidates since timeskip foreshadowed Yamato...

Greenbull's marching on the capital right now. Yamato's fruit is the guardian deity of Wano, so that may end up having some deeper significance to it.
To capture the Supernova Trio... Not to conquer Wano... Makami could potentially be Nika's guide animal hence being called Wano's guardian deity...

The WG wants Wano man. Ryokugyu may be here for Luffy but taking Wano is a bonus.
They know very well that they can't... Ryokugyu wants to please Akainu, not the higher ups of WG...

The WG wanted Wano but the Gorosei assumed it was impenetrable. Ryokugyu proved them to be a bunch of incompetent buffoons and they’re gonna try to take it now that they know they can. Ryokugyu came there for Luffy but that’s beside the point
That is not an assumption, they know something we readers don't know yet... They don't invade Wano because it's impenetrable, it isn't, check Kaido, check CP0...

Yes but he’s proving to the Gorosei that Wano isn’t nearly as fortified as they thought even if that’s not his intent
Read my response above this one...

Yes but what he intends is beside the point. Once the Gorosei find out how easily he waltzed in there, they’re probably gonna try to invade it
They're not gonna do that... Wano is impenetrable when the borders are closed according to the Gorosei...

1. Throughout this entire arc Yamato fans have been moving the goalposts for when Luffy would accept her. First it was that Luffy would let her in the crew when he defeated Kaido. Then it was that Luffy would accept her when he wakes up. Then it was that Luffy would accept her at the party. Now it's that Luffy will accept her at some unspecified point

It's blatantly obvious that Yamato's desire to join the crew is not being taken seriously by the narrative. That's what I'm getting at here.

2. The part about the poem is blatantly incorrect and is built on nothing but baseless headcanon. Chapter 999’s title was a reference to a Japanese poem written in the 8th century, which goes as follows:

The sake I brewed to drink with you, I drink alone in the field of peace, for I no longer have a friend to drink it with

In the poem, the speaker references their deceased friend, who goes unnamed. The reason why this title was used for chapter 999 is because chapter 999 was about Ace, Yamato's deceased friend. You're trying to make it seem like Chapter 999's and Chapter 1000's titles are referring to Yamato brewing sake for Luffy, even though this completely goes against what the poem was actually about.


It's already set in stone that Luffy will address it and given how glued together they've been since he woke up, it's copium to think he'll just say no. That's probably why you're banking on a last minute Greenbull twist.
Again, whether or not a character joins is up to the author, not the characters they're writing. If Oda decides for Yamato to join, she won't join no matter what. That's just how it is

Jinbe was a side character for almost all of his flashback, has a dream that was never explicitly stated, and a role that was never a problem for the crew.
Jimbei wasn't a side character in his flashback. The whole point of his flashback was to show how he developed the ideals he did by inheriting Tiger's and Otohime's wills. The reason why he's not the main focus until the end is because the entire flashback up until that point was about how Tiger and Otohime affected him and made him into the person he currently is. You're trying to deflect from the fact that Yamato's flashback was incredibly lackluster and told us nothing new that we couldn't already infer.

We have known from the beginning that Jimbi had talents and abilities that no Strawhat has. Him being a helmsman is only an application of the talents we had already seen from him.

In Franky's arc, the primary focus and Luffy's main motivation was Robin. The only trust you see between him and Franky is when he told him to protect Robin. It took until the very end of the arc for Luffy to show any interest in wanting him to join.
And you're forgetting the fact that the story went to great lengths to show Franky genuinely bonding with Robin and Usopp. Yamato hasn't gotten that with any character other than Momo

Right, she spent 2 decades watching the oppressive power Kaido had over Wano yet someone weaker than him will be the one to change her mind on the last minute. A whole week in Wano mainland and her df has yet to be cared for outside of one chapter by Kaido.
Yes. Unironically.
It'll tie into the theme of Luffy bringing the dawn. Wano's borders can't open until Luffy brings the dawn and Yamato can't leave until that happens. So this given Luffy a personal stake in wanting to bring the dawn.
