That is a good point, making Yamato a werewolf-like figure definitely gives credence to him being our moon representative, especially since he claims to be a member of the Kozuki, a moon-themed clan. I particularly like the idea of each of the Beauties being a different type of Devil Fruit user...

Welcome, it's good to have you! I hope you enjoyed reading, though it sounds like you did!

Haha, I'm sure I wouldn't either, I don't have nearly the force of will, but it's because of lessons like that that Oda has weaved into the story so well that I'm willing to publicly stake my reputation on what I care about. As for being reasonable, I think that's the most important thing for...

Both. I started down the Monet rabbit hole because I liked the character; the theories that I found from other people were genuinely compelling enough for me to believe they were plausible. After that, I continued digging on my own to expand on those ideas and found more compelling evidence and...

Same reason people theorize about anyone else joining: we like that particular character and theorizing is fun.

In case anyone here is interested, a couple of months ago I started work on compiling and analyzing every panel that Monet appears in. I post one panel every day, and I've still got a long way to go, so check it out when you've got the time. https://harpy-monet.tumblr.com/tagged/every-monet/chrono

So there are two camps among recruitment theorists: 10 Friends and Straw Hat 13. The former is based on Luffy's statement at the end of chapter 1 wherein he says he thinks a crew of about ten should suffice. Some believers in this theory count Luffy as one of the ten and feel that no one will...

That's what the entire theory is about, yes, who I think is going to join based on the established theme colors of the current crew. I explain in each section who I think fits best for each color and why, though I don't go into too much detail why I think each individual character is a candidate...

Because they're the ones I believe the most strongly in the chances of and felt they best illustrated my point. I apologize if I didn't make that clear in the theory itself.

The kanji used for Seiryu, 青龍 , can technically be translated as either Blue or Green Dragon, but the color kanji is generally read as Ao and taken to mean blue. It's not unheard of for Seiryu to be depicted as green, but most people in my experience tend towards blue, which Oda has clearly done...

That's cool to know! It carries some really interesting implications for this theory. For one, it means that Oda DID deliberately avoid giving Jinbe a blue theme color, which strongly suggests that he is in fact only doing two Straw Hats per color category. Two, it means that he doesn't...

Disregarding how Yamato may fit into the MFMM pattern, may I ask what you feel Yamato's actual role in the crew would be? Robin's role as archaeologist inherently ties into her ability to read the Poneglyphs, but there's no role that would fit Yamato already knowing the answers because he read...

I think for me, the problem with amnesia is that it stifles the idea of redemption. If Monet doesn't have her memory, it makes it more difficult for us to understand why she acted the way she did and how she feels about it. Without an understanding of what she did or why, Monet wouldn't be able...

Sort of; Oda hasn't explicitly said in an SBS that he's changed it, but on the cover page for chapter 651, Oda teamed up with Toshio Asakuma, a sculptor that specializes in animal figurines as near as I can find, to design animals that resemble the Straw Hats. Because this set retained...

Caesar definitely made contact, and as we've seen, any impact on a heart is enough to cause the victim to cough blood and potentially pass out. What I'm saying is that the anime showed the shrapnel embedded deep into the heart, whereas the manga only shows the initial contact which can be...

That would definitely make sense, though I think that there's an easy workaround that wouldn't require the manga to conform to the anime: the anime could justify it as Caesar's imagination. Remember, even in the manga, he's sure that he stabbed the heart thoroughly enough to kill Smoker. In the...

I could see that, though I think it might be interesting if rather than a controlling and manipulative relationship like the other girls have had, Monet has a more amicable relationship with Vegapunk. I get the impression that Vegapunk is a much kinder person than we've been led to believe by...
