And this should raise an alarm! An author doesn't spent so much time on drawing someone just for the fun of it. I mean he can, for a few panels here and there but not an entire arc. Oda clearly put Carrot in the background like a cat we put in 2 centimeter of water before giving him a bath.
There was actual intent to make Carrot pop up as a likeble character without making her too obvious or having her becoming a main character.
All that was done in order to make her Sulong moment feel at the same time earned AND surprising. In term of writing this balance is extremelly difficult to manage on the long run.
This is a red flag for me. Those kind of writing are for the long term character, not just supportive ones.
Or.. Not necessarally, there was room to switch the Sulong moment and the death moment. In fact. That final escape and the "suicide" couldve been done just after it. Making the explosion one of the final moment of despear.
But this could've been also done with Pekom at the moment of Luffy's rescue and the impact wouldve been could also (not the same but cool )
Everything has a meaning in a story. If not, they are not in it. Principle of time management and efficiency. When I say that carrot was non necessary to the story of Whole cake, I'm not saying that she was non necessary, she was, but for the bigger picture.
It goes far beyond just that. The strawhat didn't shine much in wano either.
Carrot's loss is stronger that both Usopp's and Sanji's one (before WC) in term of narration. What you are searching is a real strong character arc. Something like Nami or Robin had.. This will come later (note that Jimbe and Brook have very shallow development in that regard). Wano is not the time for this right now. A simple yet powerful development is more than enough to imprint the character into the mind of the readers.
No. I saw the argument for Monet. They are completely different. No regard for the story, no panels or story clues, just hinches.
You need to understand that Yamato no leaving And Carrot joining are two very different things, at least for me. I would be glad to see Yamato join the crew but it's just not what the story is hinting right now. You are taking a missdirection from Oda as a proof.. you will only be dispointed if you expect too much out of it.
