OP Fandom be like:
Yamato, 2 fucking chapters:Oh My Gosh , I'm sure she has a great background, and she would fit perfectly.
I'm really sure she has a great personality...
Carrot, 3 fucking years with the Mugis:
Oh my bosh, she's terrible, has no sad past, she's boring, 0 good feelings with the crew...
She won't be Nakama...
My most hateful SH crewmember is Chopper
Yet, in his arc of joining, I WANTED HIM TO JOIN
That's what the SH crewmember joining should be like, it's supposed that MAJORITY of fans want this person to join... and not 10% of fans, or 20 or 30 or even 50 or 60%
It should be MUCH HIGHER percentage
having a new Nakama should be SATISFACTORY, where Oda pays it off... having a consolation for just the furry lovers is the shitties way to bring a new nakama
Character must be loved for:
- Design
- Special powers/abilities that is unique
- And character which is dynamic and lovable with a gag that is NEW and absolutely hilarious when first introduced... (Sure can get boring after repeating later a lot, but in beginning, it must be FRESH)
- And on top, a GREAT BACKSTORY
Carrot has only a good design with special ability of solung
The latter two are pale
Let's not forget that her bond with Luffy is NOT THICK despite being with the crew for 3 years in our timeline
Luffy's bond with Nekumamushi/Inuarashi/pedro/Otama/Kiku/Raizo/Kinemon/Momo are ALL STRONGER
How can you bring a new crew member where Luffy basically doesn't care about this crew member to say "This person is AMAZING, I want him to join"
It's not about who WE WANT TO JOIN
It's about who ATTRACTS LUFFY"S attention to make him desire him/her to join so bad
Again, THREE YEARS, no progress between Luffy/Carrot... that's fucking telling you something... Luffy doesn't see her special.. as simple as that, she can jump on bandwagon, she can celebrate, Luffy WILL NOT Invite her
He would invite Otama/Momo/Kinemon/Yamato before asking carrot for the simple fact he would be interested in them more
