I am all for the emotional goodbyes but this chapter is ruined for me by Yamato's fucking stupid ass decision, man.
Oda MUST know fans look forward to the whole new nakama discussions and still goes out of his way to tease a new one for so long then do fucking nothing with that.
And by the way things look this isn't some "Yamato will join later like Jinbe" situation, she was just straight-up lumped in with the rest of the Wano characters and will remain there until whenever we need them for the final war.
As someone who enjoyed Wano a lot despite it's problems, this just leaves me with such a sour taste. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF YAMATO??
Oh yeah and whatever lesson about hatred that could've come from the Kurozumi's tale was desecrated by that play, basically reverse propaganda
God Oda really is just fucking up left and right and i have no clue how he'll manage the end of the series at this point.
