No. Right now, I don't see Vivi returning until the final war with the World Government/Im. Meh, everyone after the East Blue 5 has missed some big moment: The barrel promise before reaching the Grand Line, saving Alabasta, saving Robin and the death of Merry, 3D2Y, etc.

Log keeper seems more fitting for Vivi if she comes back. She was with them since they entered the Grand Line and she's been shown scrapbooking news articles about the Straw Hats adventures after she stayed behind. Oden's logbook worked because he essentially went through the Grand Line again...

To be fair, Robin is a self-admitted assassin who was helping someone oppress a country when we first met her and was redeemed (kind of) by saving Luffy. I don't think Caribou will join, but he has been following a somewhat similar trajectory to Robin. I'm on the Yamato as an apprentice...

There's also Oda's self-professed love of soccer, which has 11 players on the field for a team. I actually wouldn't be surprised that if it is meant to be 13 that it ended up including the Thousand Sunny and Vivi already.

The wordplay on ichimi is definitely something I haven't seen brought up much in most forums I've read. Personally, I lean towards 11 being the final number, mostly because it matches with Oda's planning out the end of the series and intending on 10 at the beginning. I also think the...

After Yamato, I think Law actually has the most going for him for joining the Straw Hats of the currently known characters. He's got a new dream of learning what the Will of D is and we know that the answer is on Laugh Tale, so he's got a dream and a reason to sail with Luffy. He's already got...

This is a bit late, but are you really arguing that Luffy and Yamato both holding a piece of Ace's Vivre Card, which was passed from Yamato to Ace to Luffy and is literally a piece of Ace's life and soul in their hands, and both watching that life end at the same time is not a connection? Since...

Yamato is the one who created Ace's Vivre Card, which is what allowed Luffy to be involved in Marineford, a major turning point and defining moment in the series as well as one of the biggest character moments for Luffy. That's a huge connection between the two, especially when Yamato would...

He still shows wonderment at Tama being able to tame animals with her Devil Fruit, he was ecstatic at seeing Zoro and the rest of his crew again, he was instantly infatuated with the idea of being a samurai and carrying around the Nidai Kitetsu. I fail to see how he lost his spark. Also, his...

Luffy has shown the same enthusiasm at the beginning of Wano once Tama showed off her powers, and Chopper and Usopp are also just as enthusiastic at things they deem interesting. Luffy also says the Pirate King is "the freest man in the world" which is the exact opposite of being responsible...

I didn't ignore anything, I just didn't read everything that was previous. I would also add that Brook can just send his soul out similar to Zeus. He doesn't need binoculars when he can just fly closer, and we don't even know what his eyesight is like in the first place. He's also not in...

It's an opportunity to show that when the whole crew is together she can still be useful and to specifically show that there are circumstances where Carrot herself can go above and beyond what anyone else already in the crew can do. Since Usopp did her job for her, while also taking out the...

The main point is that there are opportunities presented for Carrot to show off how and why she would be useful for the crew, but Oda keeps having the main crew just do what Carrot fans say are her main selling points as a lookout. Oda could have had Carrot jump in tandem with Sanji, but he had...

Carrot didn't give any important information on the Big Mom fleet beyond that they were in front of them. Zeus can handle that. Nami was the one that figured out the pincer formation. There's also no reason to think that Zeus can't be far from the Clima-Tact since he can take on his cloud...

Zeus can be the lookout since he can float around freely and is tied to Nami anyway.

Female vs male. Wanda's Sulong looks the same as hers.

That's what I think. More specifically, Yamato would actually fit the dancer-type in a round-about way, just like how the botanist was turned into Robin. Yamato is dressed like a Miko, a Shinto shamaness, who perform the traditional Kagura dances. The Miko were also supposedly taught by or...

A bolero is a kind of dance, so perhaps there was an idea for a dancer-type character on the crew, just like the botanist was eventually turned into Robin.
