Speculations Sawyer7mage theorizes that Kuzan was made the 10th captain because Oda changed his mind about the 10th Strawhat

Is Egghead the current arc? Haven’t been following Post Wano stuff like that. So Luffy told Jinbe and co his dream?
Yeah as they were sailing toward egghead he told all the shs his real dream which isn't pirate king. We don't actually see what it is.
Yamato also knows because luffy told ace and sabo as a child and ace told yamato because its the same thing Roger said to wb and oden

Sawyer claims that originally it was Teach, 10 captains and Kuzan. And in the Endgame it was gonna be Luffy and 10 Strawhats vs the Blackbeard pirates and Kuzan wouldn’t fight the strawhats so everyone had a match up

now apparently because Oda decided there is not gonna be a 10th Strawhat, he also dropped the 10th Captain. He added Kuzan in the spot so that Kuzan will bail in the endgame so that it remains luffy and 9 strawhats vs teach and 9 titanic captains

honestly, I buy it. There was clearly supposed to be a 10th Strawhat and Oda changed his mind so this kind of tracks
Everyone knows this

Kuzan was never gonna fight SH as main fight
And Oda switched his notes cause he realised he messed up with 10th captain mystery

The lurking legend wasn't introduced, Wano arc is over. Theorizing about some background character won't change that.
Lurking legend is Rocks crew
And it's so far the greatest challenge that SH have ever faced

Seems far-fetched, although there clearly seems to be a retcon. Jinbe in FMI had no idea what what Kuzan was up to, So were Smoker and the marines during PH. Doffy and his gigantic Intel networks only heard some rumors. Yet in Dressrosa one day later Gatz spoke like the 10 titanic captains are common knowledge and this chapter seems to indicate he joined for a certain time .

Reminder, this is a canon fact. See old sketch of SH & Chapter 1 of Luffy talking about 10 crews.

It is also canon that Oda make Yamato says she will join every so often but suddenly didn't include her.

It's not a bait, because it will do no good for Oda. He just changed his mind.

:okay:
Now post all the times Yamato interacted with a strawhat or had a strong a character moment that wasn't with Momo.

None of the strawhats is a match for Kuzan it's either upgraded Katakuri or Shanks himself who will take on Kuzan

The rest is clear

Zoro vs Shiryu
Sanji vs Sanjuan
Jinbe vs Burgess
Franky vs Pizarro
Robin vs Devon
Lafitte vs Nami
Usssop vs Van Augur
Chopper vs Doc Q
Brook vs Vasco Shot

Maybe the straw hat grand fleet will help out
Cavendish, Barto will prob replace Nami and Ussop

She has none. She got introduced in the middle of a war.
and?
Tama showed-up in the middle of that war and had a bunch of interaction with Nami and Ussop, strawhats she never interacted before.
Not only interactions but strong character moments, too many to count. An underrated one is this one where she motivates Ussop to be brave:

So your argument doesn't make any sense on top of not explaining why she was paired with Momo all the time. (Including motivating Momo as one of her strongest moments)

He probably knew this break was coming since he was scheduled to take a trip to visit the LA crew. It's not crazy to think he had his mind set up months in advance and then took the break to actually arranged his ideas.
The whole point of the break was to both have more time to do the extra work like the movie and revise the story though. Why would he take the break if he was already doing this revision months before hand? And where is the evidence that such revisions even happened? To me it just feels like people had certain expectations to what would happen, and when they werent met they blamed on this break, KoL did the same thing

We saw Oda supposedly scrap the 10th Strawhat jointing after Wano as abruptly
Thats an assumption, that could've been his plan from the get go
