The thing is, we're already near the end, they have to complete the 10 already... Yamato is the only able character competent enough for the current level of competition... The rest of the characters in Wano are sh*t and are significantly weaker than base Jinbe...

More than half of the crew is weaker than Base Jinbe.
Knowing that, how come "stronger than base Jinbe" be a requirement?

Sideboobs sideboobs sideboobs sideboobs!!
Definitely done more than enough.
:steef:

On a serious note didn't know that a potential crew member need some achievement to be able to join, thought it was up to Luffy whims. Anyway if it's as you said, stalling kaido is a big achievement I'd say she's done more than enough.

Because of that very reason... It's foolish to add more people of lesser caliber late in the story... Powerhouse members are what the SHP lacks ATM...

New World is the lair of powerhouse pirates... It's illogical that the SHs will have non-powerhouse joining in the region because they already have a bunch of non-powerhouse guys...

Stop making shit up.

Straw Hats don't lack any powerhouses anymore. If anything, Straw Hat is the only pirate crew which has 2 Yonko level fighters atm. Other crew even Yonko crew only has 1 Yonko level / top tier hitter.
Jinbe lol diffed Whos Who. Franky beat Sasaki without serious injury. Post PU Zoro/Sanji beat the Calamities comfortably. Even Kaido who one shotted act 1, can't damage Gear 5 Nika seriously.

^ Straw Hats don't need heavy hitters anymore.

Your excuse would work if only Yamao playing a huge role in defeating the Beast Pirates, example: defeating Jack or saving Nami from Ulti or saving Robin from CP0 etc.
Yet your supposed new heavy hitter did nothing in the arc except stalling Kaido a bit (10%) and babysitting Momo (90%).
She is not the game changer who help Straw Hats to win the raid.

There's Blackbeard and ten titanic captains right? So we should get 1 more?

Could be Yamato but she's only been present this arc, she hasn't had anything that screams SH to me yet
Yeah there should be 10 not including kuzan and maybe moria

I can see it happening but as things stand now im not the biggest fan of yamato joining

Convince me otherwise.

Current Straw Hats (no Law, no Kidd, no samurais, no minks, no Grand Fleet) vs Beast Pirates (no Big Mom, no samurais, no CP 0).
Straw Hats already won.
Kaido gets stalled forever by Nika's ridiculous endurance.
Zoro already knows King's mechanic, he can defeat King faster then clean Veterans then continue to help Luffy.
Sanji now has enough AP to bring down Queen faster then continue to stomp Veterans and other fodders.
Jinbe vs Jack.
Franky beats Sasaki then clean fodders.
Robin beats Maria then clean fodders.
Who's who, Ulti, Page One got cleaned by Zoro and Sanji. Zoro one shot WsW and Ulti, Sanji defeats Page One.
Chopper, Brook, Nami, Usopp help and protect each other against WsW, Ulti, Page One until reinforcements came, then they help clean fodders.

Current Straw Hats is already > Beast Pirates.
Yamao is not needed.
Post automatically merged:

Chopper may even defeat either WSW or Page One while defending himself with Nami, Brook, Usopp.
Post automatically merged:

Narratively speaking, the new powerhouse should join at Fishman Island arc or Dressrosa arc at the latest.
Not when the crew is already stronger than a single Yonko crew.

No, she hasn't, but it doesn't matter. And it doesn't matter that she wasn't planned from chapter 1 either.

At this point, you have to be delusional to think that Oda (and Shueisha by extension) won't make someone from One Piece Japan join the crew. And Yamato literally ticks all the boxes.

They want and have to milk Wano from now to the rest of the series (yes, even more), just look at how long it has been already and how many shit Oda has had to cram to make Wano stand out even more: "Look how cool and strong and perfect Oden is!" "Look how important these guys are, they are masters of kairoseki!" "Look how cool this place is that Roger, Whitebeard and even Ace visited it!" "Look, 2 emperors joining forces!" "Look, Luffy has 3 power-ups!" "Look, Wano is special because Joy Boy will appear, and it's Luffy!".

And having a character that screams "look! I'm so japanese!" "Oden was so cool!" "Japan is so cool!" with constant showings is a GIVEN.

Start praying that she at least switches outfits at some point (but she'll keep the sideboob anyway).
