I'm not going to discuss my alphabet pattern post here, but to be honest, I'm not particularly interested in discussing it on the original post either. I've heard the argument you're saying plenty of times, and it deliberately ignores the argument that I was making, so I'm not going to reiterate...

The original reason I liked Carrot was orginally because when she was introduced, the common theory around Monet wasn't that she'd come back, but that someone else would get her Devil Fruit. When Carrot showed up, people immediately noted a similarity to Monet's Snow Rabbit attack and the...

While there isn't a Y or M Straw Hat, that's not really how the Alphabet Theory works. The letters are in pairs so as to make 13 possible slots, the most commonly accepted number of Straw Hats. With that in mind, Nami takes the MN pair from Monet while Zoro takes the YZ pair from Yamato. Some...

I don't particularly want to go into specifics on Yamato's gender, I'll just acknowledge that Oda could easily go either way with it. If Yamato joins as the 11th Straw Hat, I think it will give credence to the idea that Oda considers Yamato a female and I will personally take it as a poor sign...

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...
