Hello, everyone! Welcome to the third installment in my series of Female Straw Hat Patterns. Part 1 covered the various patterns established by the uncanny similarities between Nami and Robin's introductions, character designs, and actions, while Part 2 analyzed an alternative to the long...

I think I've linked enough background material both within the theory itself and in my original reply to make why I take this stance clear. If you've read them and don't agree, that's perfectly fine. I'm not asking you to agree with me, just to understand where I'm coming from and respect my...

May I ask why in the title you specified chapter 978? You didn't talk about it in the theory itself, so I'm just a bit confused what that has to do with it.

I'm not going to explain eight years of "Monet is Alive" Theory, but I will present the one bit of evidence that I have found to convince most people I talk to on the matter: her heart not actually being stabbed. Note how the bit of shrapnel that Caesar attempted to stab her heart with is...

Hello again, everyone! In my last theory, I proposed three possible patterns that Oda may have established with Nami and Robin's introductions and interactions with the crew: the Looking Down Pattern, in which their name card scenes involved them sitting on elevated platforms so as to be...

Given their shared kabuki theme, could it be possible that rather than Raizou, Kumadori is somehow related to Kanjuro? Perhaps his mother was a part of the same kabuki troupe and left Wano before/because of the Kurozumi persecution?

Apology accepted! You have a good day as well!

I never said Oda was limited to these, I said that I noticed similarities in Nami and Robin's introductions. If that's "assuming on my own," then all theorizing is just assuming on your own. And I for one don't think this is a waste of effort at all. I had a ton of fun doing it, and I've...

See, these are all of the characters that I thought had strong chances before we even finished Whole Cake Island. In fact, when I made the original theories, we hadn't seen Carrot's Sulong form yet. We hadn't even heard of the term, just that the Mink's apparently had some kind of secret weapon...

But I'm sure you all want to hear about more relevant girls, ones that actually stand a strong chance of joining based on the narrative as its been presented rather than just hypothetical patterns. Well don't worry, everyone's favorite Sanji Retrieval Arc ladies give us more than enough to work...

Of course, Robin didn't have anything close to a complete arc when she joined the crew. She was a major antagonist during the Alabasta arc, showed signs that there was more to her character to be explored and that she had knowledge that may be relevant to the story (the ability to read the...

Another choice that at least somewhat matches all three patterns is one that was very popular a few years back: Rebecca. Her weakest point, that her official introduction takes place on a level plane with Luffy, still sees her in a pose not too different from Nami and Robin's, which is to...

Our next candidate fits two of the patterns, but neither of them quite perfectly: Hancock. Her hair has always been and presumably will always be long, so that one's out, but her first introduction to Luffy saw her taking a very familiar pose from atop quite a long stretch of stairs. She...

That said, I'm going to start off by immediately talking about someone who fulfills no patterns: Vivi. She's the only exception because she's considered an honorary Straw Hat, being Straw Hat 5.5 according to Oda and grouped with the Straw Hats in the Vivre Card Databook. She is introduced with...

Hello, everyone! To those of you who knew me from the Oro Jackson days, good to see you again! To those who didn't, nice to meet you! I used to have a ton of theories on that good old ship, but sadly I was unable to find the time to move any of them over here with how busy I was at the time. I...
