But this still begs the question: what's the point of Yamato? Onigashima has given Yamato more focus than every character besides Luffy, and yet Yamato hasn't done anything that other characters couldn't have done. Is Oda really just warping the climax of his most ambitious arc around this...

For this, I was referring to Oden's flashback. Higurashi referred to Yamata-No-Orochi as giving Orochi the power to be Shogun, but it was never followed up on: So my speculation is that this fruit is in the same class as Okuchi-No-Makami. This also bothers me, because if he wants people to...

I hear everything you're saying, but for me these are all things that could go either way, which is why I have the urge to play devil's advocate. In the end, it just comes down to what Oda wants. If he wants Yamato to go with Momonosuke, that relationship will get developed, otherwise others...

Yamato will also be alone. The only people that know Yamato are Luffy, Momo, and the beast pirates. What is Yamato staying behind in Wano actually going to protect Wano from? Should we expect that Yamato can solo a WG invasion, or an attack from Blackbeard? How do you envision this going? After...

Robin, Brook, and Jinbe were not reluctant to leave. Jinbe only didn't leave because he couldn't. Yamato is the only one who even tried to resist Kaido. Even if it didn't amount to anything until now, they're about to be integral in liberating Wano. If anyone has a thoughtless role, it's...

I've seen people talking about Bonney returning Momonosuke to his original age... Bonney's fruit shouldn't be able to change the actual age of a person, otherwise she would be capable of granting herself and anyone else immortality. It would negate the massive amount of importance we've seen...

2: Yamato knew their fruit is a guardian spirit and spent the last 20 years trapped on Onigashima fighting for Wano. Oden gave up everything to go on his adventure, while Yamato did everything they could to protect Wano, despite wanting to leave. Despite this, Yamato still wants to leave once...

So who has Bao Huang? We saw one of the Merries looking on at Brook and Robin, but we don't know who is on the other end. I believe that, last we saw, she was in the mouth of Usopp's plant on the live floor, which is what let Otama talk through her?

For the first point, it comes down to what Oden wrote in the journal. If Yamato is a walking spoiler for Laughtale, then it would definitely be against Luffy's personality to let them join. However, there are two things that make me think that the journal doesn't hold secrets Luffy doesn't want...

Luffy fighting Kaido 1v1 after losing three times is boring and uninspired.

Yamato clearly knows more than we do from the journal, and we'll learn more about it in the flashback I think. If Yamato does leave Wano, even just as a temporary guest like Law or Kinemon, I assume Oda will give us a better reason than "because I want to." That said, if they do come just...

Alright, we all know the obvious choice for the Pheasant is Marco... but we were all pretty sure of tiger, then kirin... and we saw how that turned out. We've also heard Kuzan (formerly Aokiji aka Blue Pheasant), but this is redundant with Yamato's ice powers. Thus, I want to make a different...

Kaido said "So you couldn't be Joyboy either", but the japanese ("お前も”ジョイボーイ”にはなれなかったか") is more like "so you couldn't become Joyboy either", so maybe Luffy will only become Joyboy once Wano opens?

I see what you mean now. Regarding your last point though, I feel it's important to remember that Yamato never even met Oden, just watched his execution and read what he wrote in his journal. He probably didn't write "Orochi only rose to power because I abandoned Wano when they needed me", he...

Yeah, this is an important distinction. I'm gonna try to assemble all the details of the prophecy as we know it, but my recollection is that the journal says that "the New World would be overrun by strong pirates" and that somehow they would be involved in the opening of Wano. Either Oden...

I suspect that Yamato didn't actually start saying "I am Oden" until the raid started, but even if they did, I doubt the Onigashima community is type to point out how weird it sounds. I also didn't consider Pudding or Ace... Pudding is a bit weird because she clearly knew how to be charming when...

I can sympathize with you on all of this. I still think that the nature of "becoming Oden" will be revealed dramatically in the flashback, or from a line in battle from Yamato. For example, if my theory is right, we could see 8 year old Yamato reading the journal and thinking "Oden wrote that...

Hard to be well adjusted after being imprisoned for 20 years and having Ace as your only friend.

She got the Korean spoilers for the Onigashima arc, but keeps on misunderstanding how they apply.

Thanks! People assume that "Yamato will learn to drop the Oden thing before the arc is over" but if you look at it this way, it ends automatically when Wano opens. I could even imagine a line in Oden's journal like "I am the one who will take down Kaido and open Wano", which contributes to...
