Yes, I also believe she's meant to find moments to stand out while on the crew. However, if she's on the ship, it can't just be as an unofficial tagalong anymore. When Nami joined, despite all the developments that only happened later, she was still considered part of the crew. Same with Usopp...

Now that Yamato has gotten the proper closure he should have gotten weeks ago, we're right back at the situation from over two years ago: Carrot is the most realistic possible candidate left, but has not achieved much even in all this time. If Yamato and Momo and Kin are all honorary crewmates...

I for one have a set cutoff time: when the crew arrives at the next island, if Carrot isn't with them, I won't argue anymore. But I have reason to suspect something will happen by then: Jinbe needs his to have his proper toast to celebrate his joining. Luffy has been inconviniently locked in a...

I've always felt that Jinbe must properly join before Carrot can, and he still needs his commemorative toast. That won't happen until Luffy's time-out ends so he can lead it. And that may be Carrot's best chance to pop up and join in.

You think that's bad? I've got perhaps one of the worst takes you're likely to hear. I've been sitting on it a while, and I wasn't sure I should even bother. But eh, sunachi and all. You remember Toki's prophecy, the moon who doesn't know the sun? Carrot is the moon. Luffy would be the sun...

Pedro died passing on his will when death has been used primarily to inspire the characters to greater things. Yes, being ruler of Zou is great, but it still goes against the message Pedro gave her to move forward, the message Carrot remembered as Peros was telling her to run back home. Pedro...

I'm bringing up some of what I said the other day: I've always said Yamato will be free to choose. I accepted that Yamato might choose to leave with the crew or even without them, that Carrot's path might not coincide with theirs. But I'd say that likewise, if you've been arguing that Yamato...

Did I ever say Yamato must guard Wano, or that Carrot must leave Zou? They have free will, and they both need to have the freedom to choose one way or the other.

I'll be breaking up my arguments into posts and spoiler tagging them for those who couldn't care less about Carrot or doubting Yamato. I hope those who do choose to read it and perhaps discuss with me about it understand that I just want to pursue the truth and that if I'm truly wrong, I'll live...

Because it's not an offer. They didn't ask. They told her, "You're going to be ruler," and they won't hear a word against it. Whether she goes through with it or not, she has to be free to choose. Just like Yamato has to be free to decide what he wants to do for himself. Whatever happens to both...

I'm working on putting my thoughts together, but this chapter has convinced me: Carrot is joining, Yamato is not. If I'm wrong, so be it. But that's my honest final belief, with no disrespect meant for anyone else's.

Even with 1054 mixing things up yet again, I have no good argument against Yamato having the clearest path to joining. Carrot seems satisfied with how events turned out, the crew is happy with Yamato, and Luffy has no reason to refuse him asking. It's not over until it's over of course, but I...

I read it at last, and Carrot's complete absence is the weirdest thing to me. Oda seems intent on burying her, which either means he does plan on giving her a moment to rise up, or he just wants us to forget about her. I keep thinking about what's the point Oda wanted to make with Carrot. He...

I'd love to get in on that if I may.

I hear you. I need to see that too. It's just that I'm expecting we will see that, since she didn't get the revenge she was after and is instead moving to another part of the battle. Again, Pedro didn't die just so Carrot could fail at avenging him and not accomplish anything. There's a reason...

Despite my personal feelings, I can accept something like that as entirely possible, in the same way that I can accept Yamato may end up being the one to join. But I have my doubts that Carrot's being led that way, specifically because of Pedro's death. It's such a vital part of her character...

Been a while, had some thoughts. Denjiro proved that Oda doesn't need an excuse to stick a character where he wants them, whether or not he shows how they get there. And yet, small as her appearances have been, Oda has taken the time this whole raid to show where Carrot is, where she's been...

She said no, can't be read that way.

I'll have to ask her tomorrow if that's an alternate meaning, but she said the literal meaning was "not knowing the night".

I feel like it's not too much to ask to properly credit my wife, who took the time to translate the label and find that info. And in case anyone is curious, the phrase is 不知夜月 / Izayoizuki, the original Japanese article is here: https://onepiece-log.com/blog-entry-2301.html And the label is...
