@CarrotForNakama why do you keep asking for panels of Carrot saying she wants to go back to Zou? Since she never said she wants to stay with the strawhats in the first place, the burden of proof is on you. She didn't say goodbye to Wanda because she planned on coming back. She never said anything to the contrary. We don't have to prove that she's NOT going to change her mind. You have to prove that she is.
 
the burden of proof is on you
Wrong. The affirmation was: Carrot will go back to Zou.

Looking at the story, nothing is hintting us that way and in fact much of the storylines are showing the opposite. It is therefore an extraordinary claim not aligned with the status of the story.

So the burden of Proof is not on me, but on the one who states that Carrot will stay on Zou.


She didn't say goodbye to Wanda because she planned on coming back
That's never mentionned in the story, I will need a precise panel for that. There is no proof that Carrot is planning on returning to Zou right now.


We were talking about if carrot can beat the BB Pirates 😩
Exactly so now you will have to show me how CHopper's beaten ennemyies are relevant on that matter
 
Oh Hi psychophobia!



Storytelling rule ARE the evidence my dear!

In storytelling you CAN'T make a character change without good reasons, it a BASIC RULE. If you don't do that, you will end up with a very weird looking product, not up to the standards of the industry.

One Piece is peak fiction, meaning that Oda knows that rule (and many others) to create a good well written story. So he knows that he can't just decide to make Carrot want to go back home when he pushed her during 6 years to be a happy and full of wonder for the world and discovery girl.


Oda KNOWS that to make Carrot go back to Zou, he would need to give her a very good reason for that, something that would match her wonder for the world and FORCED HER to stay behind rather than sneaking again for more adventure.

Like I said: Storytelling IS the evidence here

Never lied. But you did. And are trying to invent me saying a lie too now.

I accepted your proposition, and asked you AFTER IT how that character can compare to the BB pirates as that's EXACTLY what you did for Carrot before that.
Read what I'm telling you. The storytelling is not Suggesting Anything that you are trying to say it is. The "story" is telling us to look at Yamato, Carrot has been nothing but an Irrelevant Tertiary Character.
Stop bullshiting.

Let me get this straight. You, Carrot's number one superfan who knows everything about her character, are claiming that Carrot didn't plan on going back to Zou? I just want to be certain of that before Daddy has to get out his whupping stick.

No and yes.

No the storytelling is actually in synch with what I'm saying but yes, the storytelling is also telling you to look at Yamato...

.. to surprise you even more later ;)


are claiming that Carrot didn't plan on going back to Zou
chapter 826 is a proof that Carrot had NO idea of what her future was going to be. So no. She had no real plan. And the story is showing us that her plan has actually been completely oblirated at this point.

Carrot is someone who took the sea thinking she was going on a fun adventure.

What she lived was not just a fun adventure but the most exciting moment of her life. The story is showing us that Carrot is LOVING those moment.

So thinking that Carrot would want to go back to Zou where none of those moments happens.. is a complete ignorance of her characterization.


But chopper is about to beat the BB pirates thou
How can you know that ? Did you see Chopper beat a BB pirates already ?


Oda has time to build her up. Its called subverting expectations.
Funny enough, you may not be so far from the reality "oda did developped Tama a lot in the beginning for a reason but I wouldn't call that a "subversion" for the rest of the story.

It doesn't matter if she didn't know what she was getting herself into. She packed food for one day. She planned to be home the next day, plain and simple. You have to prove that her characterization shows she will change her mind. Just because you think your argument is bulletproof doesn't shift the burden of proof.
 
#Johnny&Yosaku4Nakama

The evidence is clear, there can be no debate:
  • Called everyone on the crew brothers/sister, so clearly has a familial bond with everyone
  • Were naturally drawn to the role of being ship guards, seen when they stayed on the ship while everyone else was on the Baratie
    • Oda's a genius by having two ship guards be introduced in the previous arc, clearly foreshadowing that two ship guards will join. Even more than that, the two were brothers, just like how Johnny and Yosaku call everyone brothers.
  • Oda's real 5D chess, giga-brain, Illuminati level narrative logic by having the two disappear for almost 600 chapters, have them reappear in the chapter 624 cover story because he wants to remind us that they still exist, and then have them disappear again because he's clearly setting them up to be the ones to watch Luffy defeat Blackbeard and join after that.
    • The foreshadowing is so obvious I shouldn't even have to tell you: Blackbeard has two DFs and there are two of them. Need I say more? Sure there might be arc important characters that are around and do more than those two, but Johnny and Yosaku are clearly story important and will be the ones who have a deep connection to Blackbeard.
      • If it doesn't happen, then that just shows Oda's brilliance because he's actually setting them up to be the ones to see Luffy go gear 6th. The real foreshadowing makes perfect sense: Johnny has ni in his name, ni=2; Yosaku has yo, yo=4; 2+4=6, so obviously they're really being set up to see gear 6 and that clearly means they'll join.
Anyone who argues against this is clearly biased.
 
Well if you wanna be consistent, 29 would be Niko or Niku (or Fuku, Fuko). So Nika doesnt fit anyway
Not only is (Gomu)56 -> 29 when you flip it over which fills in the last two numbers of the number theory, the Kanji for 29 is “二九” which is awfully similar to “ニカ” the name of Luffy’s devil fruit. 2(二) is read as “Ni” and 9(九) as Kyu/Ku but the Kanji for 9 looks like “カ” which is pronounced “Ka” hence the reading “Nika”. Keep in mind that Oda is already aware of the Devil Fruit theory and like you said everyone expects Nikyu/Niku/Fuku etc. so the above is a very witty alternative.

So then your argument is that this completes the patern and no more DF users will join? Since Luffy covers both 56 and 29. Or, that he is no longer 56 but 29, and we still might get 56 with a different wording?
