Yup, but Yamato has been expecting Luffy for ages and she had the same mindset as when she met ace so it's logical that she would see herself go with Luffy.
Why am i having to paralel conversations about the same thing?
Yamato said she wanted to leave specifically with Luffy.
As for the other things, you can point out random plot threads that went nowhere, the point is that noone of them acrue interest or have as much importance as a new SH joining.
Baiting a Luffy vs BM is not the same as baiting a new SH

In Wano, yamato exhibited major sign of seeking freedom. But also a complete narrow mindset. Yamato only had in mind one thing: I can only seek freedom if I sail the seas. Which is a wrong mindset. So Yamato had to understand that freedom was something she could seek in other ways.
Yes it was. It was the best way to make us understand that she had to leave the sea and that was happening soon in her mind. Going to see alone would be good in term of writing, but aligning her strong will to go to sea and her obsession with Luffy was the best way to make her grow later narratively.
The arc being done, Yamato's character development is over.
I mean that's possible i'm not sure which of these are stronger in her motivation: " going to sea like Oden" or "going to sea with the PK like Oden"
Either way it doesn't change the fact he chose to focus on her joining and repeated that concept, from a readers perspective it's a "bait", i still don't think the benefits of this "bait" outweights the negatives

Yes it was. That was one of her major motivation just like being Oden was one.. but those motivation had only one goal: living free. Only because she suffered from being a prisonner.
You guys need to understand, that Yamato had an wrong placed obsession. That obsession combined a future with Luffy, her future as Oden and her future on the sea for one goal: seeking freedom.
What Oda did through Yamato was just subtly explain that there was other ways to freedom than just the sea.
Oden had the same obsessions and it lead him to lose his country. In that way. Yamato is humanly better than Oden because the choice of the country over the sea.
She didn't choose the sea it because it was her path, but because it was Oden's and that choice narratively came is resonnance with the path choosen by her own father for her "being the guardian deity of Wano".
Through Yamato, Oda made a stance about the theme of parents choosing for their children and children choosing the path of their parent because of circounstances. Oda's message is clear: Don't follow blindly the path of your idole and your parent, choose your own path, even if it means doing the things your own way.

It was. It wasn't her own dream, it was the dream of her idole. it didn't came from her own wish.. in a sence, Yamato was stuck between two path of two parents.
No she didn't, she choosed her OWN way to deal with the circonstance. She didn't replaced her father or even choose the way of her father that's completely a missunderstanding of her character. She became the OPPOSITE of what her father wanted her to become.
Kaido wanted Yamato to be a fascist leader, she became instead a positive gardian.
The entire purpose of Yamato is that she became the OPPOSITE of her dad. A positive guardian deity.
Yamato didn't have a character. We all assumed that her development would involve shedding the Oden shit and becoming her own thing but she never did. She still clung to Oden's image which was very contradictory to some of Wano's main themes such as legacy and identity.
Those who accepted who they were and focused on the present and future got rewarded(Luffy and Momo, Robin etc). Those who clung to Oden's image and the past got fucked for it(Kaido, The Scabbards fighting Kaido, Orochi, WsW, Black Maria etc.)
Yamato herself was literally rejected by Luffy and Momo when she came at them as Oden, only getting their full attention when she addressed herself as Yamato.Guess pretending you're someone else instead of your person is what's good now 🤷
