And that's the thing: any scenario for Yamato staying relies entirely on hypotheticals. Sure, I can acknowledge there's a chance Yamato changes her mind, but it's the same as saying there's a chance next chapter Luffy gives up on being Pirate King. We can play the "there's a chance x happens"...

I would think it's obvious that the point of having Yamato and Momo both being the inheritors of Oden's will is that Momo is the one who will stay in Wano to be the shogun like Oden, while Yamato will take on his adventuring spirit. Momo is already going to stay since his dream is to be shogun...

I'd argue further, but this little gem: is when I gave up.

Not the translation I read. Also doesn't really matter much in the grand scheme of things. It's still more of an acknowledgment and interaction between the two than Luffy and another certain character.

Chapter 1025, Luffy definitely said "Thanks, we owe you big time" referring to Yamato holding off Kaido.

It can only be a twist once we know the end result. That's literally how twists work. Robin was introduced in Whiskey Peak and didn't show an inkling of her archeology prowess until Alabasta several arcs later and not until the very end of the arc. You're making an awful lot of qualifiers...

- No. It can only be a twist after the fact of Yamato leaving with Luffy or not. - Usopp, Robin, and Jinbe didn't get their roles until after they joined. - Oden and the samurai in the cave. I would also argue that neither Usopp nor Brooke have moral pillars in the way the rest of the crew...

A big argument you've posited continuously is how proof-positive it is that Carrot was performing lookout duties while aboard the ship and was drawn naturally to doing it. But now she didn't do it, so it's not a big deal?

A sniper needs to be able to find, or lookout if you will, his targets. Carrot could have acted as a spotter, but she seemed just fine standing around doing nothing. Viola on the other hand actually did act as a spotter, at least until Usopp developed his Observation Haki. He also said that...

On a less sarcastic note, it really sticks out how none of the Straw Hats have mentioned Carrot leaving even once. When other characters disappeared, the Straw Hats are pretty quick to bring it up. Brooke leaving was a pretty big deal, where all of the Straw Hats present at the time were clear...

Perhaps if Yamato is meant to be the Guardian of Wano like Kaido told her, then I guess Luffy is also going to join the Marines since Garp trained him specifically to join. Or maybe Luffy will also stay in Wano, since Hyogoro also called him a Guardian Deity. Since the series is always about...

I don't care enough about this to keep debating it mostly since you seem confused on what character development actually is, it was just to prove your double standards. She was already a part of the raid deep inside the castle itself, then abandoned it in order to fight Perospero for her own...

I would guess it will be a hint of how to make a black blade.

She was literally kidnapped, had a bomb collar put around her neck, held at gunpoint about to be murdered, about to be sold into slavery for the purpose of entertainment where she would have at best been either a plaything or been chased by piranhas until she either died from exhaustion or the...

Pre-time-skip, she was naive and gullible. She learned about the realities of human treatment towards mermaids and fishmen, both positive (Straw Hats) and negative (Celestial Dragons). Post-time-skip, she's matured enough that she lives on her own without Pappug and Hatchan and was the one to...

Meh, I'm not concerned. I assume they're arguing in at least some good faith, so I'm willing to debate their points. It does suck that the thread has to revolve around arguing against Carrot for there to be any activity, but there are only so many ways people can say "Yamato is joining." I...

Right, other Straw Hats development only ramped up as the story went along until they joined, while Carrot dipped immediately after her introduction in Zou, had an uptick when Pedro died, and then nosedived as soon as they neared Wano. Camie was an innocent and naive mermaid who was called...

I'm guessing you made up this development process since this doesn't even apply to most of the Straw Hats. Taking it at face value, Carrot has not shown she cares about losing to Perospero, so there's nothing to "accept." Neko beat him for her and she's all smiles and sunshine again. There...

What's important is that Carrot's character did not develop in any way and she only interacted with non-Straw Hats for her most important fight and what was supposedly her main motivating factor. Losing didn't matter, just as it didn't matter that Brooke lost to Ryuma. The difference though is...

I don't think Law will join, but I don't think it would be that much of a stretch if Oda decided to have him join. Luffy seems to consider their alliance as Law being part of his crew, and has called him nakama already. He isn't interested in becoming Pirate King since he ultimately only cared...
