Controversial DEVELOPMENT INERTIA - Or why Oda MAY have made an error in Wano.

You're just taking a lot of moments where Carrot is a fun character with the crew and putting a lot of narrative weight to them that just isn't there. Sadly she isn't joining, but we might get a couple more.

Yamato already has, she's pulling a jimbie

No, those moment are not here for nothing, they are her characterization moment, those things are important. But what I wrote for Carrot here is working for anyother character, Carrot is just an example.


Didn't Carrot planned for a voyage of one day? She had her adventure in Totto Land, cope.
Look Bro im pretty sure this took you some time to write all that so thx but the Moment i read "Carrot"...
I went for my skipping skills.

Carrot is Trash. Noone needs her. Perospero owned her. Shes not a Strawhat and never will be. Shes not coming back. Shes a grasseating rabbit. Screw her.
Development inertia = how to cope
Imagine still coping cause carrot didnt join when it was always obvious she wouldnt
Again, a lot of negativity and I wonder if you guys actually read the thread... Sigh :seriously:

Logiko agrees with oda but we criticize - we are spreading negativity


Logiko disagrees with oda but we agrees - Again...we are spreading negativity and don't understand the story


:milaugh:
I'm okay with constructive criticism. Something that we can debate on. Plus if you look closely, I didn't criticized Oda... yet hehe
What I'm not okay with is trashing for trashing. It leads nowhere and it hurt the community.

Plus you are not criticizing One Piece or Oda here, you are just trashing me because its funny lol

Regardless of the fact I never wanted and still don't want Carrot to join, I don't see how anyone can disagree with the fact that she was totally sidelined and her becoming queen of Zou made basically no sense under the circumstances

Like Odyssey, Carrot went through a journey that put her on a specific path with a specific inertia. She became attracted by the sea.

First, it was just at a small speed, she was seen during the conversation between Luffy and Pekom saying this:



Note that this panel is also a PLANTINGS, a shadowing. Without it, Carrot jumping on the Sunny would feel weird.

Carrot first was just funnly attracted by the sea and therefore adventure, but she didn't saw it.. Then Oda clearly depicted Carrot's wonder in front of the sea:

And the ship went faster...



And faster....



And touched lightspeed...



At the beginning of Wano, Oda cimented Carrot as a character that was not only attracted to the sea, but a character whose attraction for danger, the sea and adventure was a fondamental part of.

I've given you the key point of this change, but you will find dozen and dozen of panel showing Carrot being attracted to adventure in the story.

This is what Carrot's development inertia look's like, a course toward danger and adventure...


Let's fast forward to the end of the arc


We are now at the end of Wano and the character are returning home... and here is what Oda is doing for Carrot:



Oda makes Carrot the new ruler of Zou, and therefore makes her go back to her home on Zunisha.

But here is the thing.. Carrot still has her inertia, nothing in Wano changed that, her diminitution for attraction for adventure was not shown. And therefore, Carrot is put in a peculiar place.

To make a metaphore, it would be like saying to a child who just went to a fairfest: "ok, you can go to the see whenever you want, but we choose for you to go home, what will you do ?"


An error from Oda ?


Many people interpreted those panels as an error from Oda. And it could be. If Oda ends One Piece and we never see Carrot again out on adventure, yes, this will be a big mistake. It would mean that Oda didn't pay enough attention to the character's development inertia of Carrot and let the ship crash on Zou.

But that's only if Carrot doesn't come back... What if she does ? This what I theorized here.
ok look I get what you're trying to say

however this whole part that I quoted is just your POV which many people views differently

carrot gets attracted to most new thing she sees or does and reacts in the same fashion but that doesn't mean she is set up to do all those things in future as well
