My presumption is that those nakama candidates since timeskip foreshadowed Yamato...
But the problem is that there’s evidence to suggest Oda did not come up with Yamato until halfway through



To capture the Supernova Trio... Not to conquer Wano... Makami could potentially be Nika's guide animal hence being called Wano's guardian deity...



They know very well that they can't... Ryokugyu wants to please Akainu, not the higher ups of WG...



That is not an assumption, they know something we readers don't know yet... They don't invade Wano because it's impenetrable, it isn't, check Kaido, check CP0...
You’re ignoring my point. Regardless of why Ryokugyu entered Wano, the fact that he did so easily is gonna prove to the Gorosei that it’s not as impenetrable as they thought

They're not gonna do that... Wano is impenetrable when the borders are closed according to the Gorosei...
And the Gorosei only think that because they don’t know better considering that Ryokugyu just proved them wrong this chapter

I plan to update this to account for chapters 1052 and 1053, but a lot of the points I make still stand

My only complaint about this is Chopper needs to step it up with his transformations. Yes, his gimmick is that he has 6-7 forms, but he rarely uses any of them (horn point has only been seen on FI) and Monster point is basically the only thing he touches now. Like he needs a full revamp of his forms again before the EoS. I'm tired of Oda shafting him (and Usopp)
Yeah, if Chopper is going to be apart of the Zoan trio, it would be rather awkward of Luffy and Yamato pulling off all these moves while he lags behind. That statement of him saying that his attacks weren't working against Queen might be a sign he'll step up somehow sooner or later.

Oda probably changed plans and whatsoever to her design and whatnot before Wano... Do note that Jinbe was supposed to join before timeskip until Oda changed his mind sometime around W7... There are also hints that Robin joining was a late decision...

CP0 already entered Wano multiple times before...

The thing is we don't know why they think it is impenetrable... Many people already went in and out of Wano... Even Kaido once ruled it, it should've been enough reason for them that Wano can be easily invaded... Why did they "chickened out" when everyone was not 100% after the raid?

Cause a pirate is free
You are AT LEAST the seventh mod to come here and dunk on C4N, think I’m starting to understand why the administration keeps letting him come back…:arnoling:
I'd love to know why C4N even keeps coming back for. Carrot was with the minks during the festival, it's over. Take the L and move on.

Morj did it
We ZKK people did
Time for him to just man up and move on. It's not going to kill him.

C4N has just become a sad case of insanity.

Yeah, I’m sure we could all stand to interact with other humans face-to-face more often than we do, but nobody needs a friend in real life to occupy their time like that motherfucker…
 
1. Throughout this entire arc Yamato fans have been moving the goalposts for when Luffy would accept her. First it was that Luffy would let her in the crew when he defeated Kaido. Then it was that Luffy would accept her when he wakes up. Then it was that Luffy would accept her at the party. Now it's that Luffy will accept her at some unspecified point
People have been talking about Yamato being connected to the Jinbe toast for years. Don't try to pretend it's some new idea thought up after the last chapter.
It's blatantly obvious that Yamato's desire to join the crew is not being taken seriously by the narrative. That's what I'm getting at here.
Right, which is why she consistently talked about leaving Wano since her debut, had multiple highlights talking about going out to sea, and has yet to be framed as wrong for thinking so in the narrative.
2. The part about the poem is blatantly incorrect and is built on nothing but baseless headcanon. Chapter 999’s title was a reference to a Japanese poem written in the 8th century, which goes as follows:

The sake I brewed to drink with you, I drink alone in the field of peace, for I no longer have a friend to drink it with
In the poem, the speaker references their deceased friend, who goes unnamed. The reason why this title was used for chapter 999 is because chapter 999 was about Ace, Yamato's deceased friend. You're trying to make it seem like Chapter 999's and Chapter 1000's titles are referring to Yamato brewing sake for Luffy, even though this completely goes against what the poem was actually about.
And if you look at the actual content of the two chapters, which are meant to be put together for the cover spread as well, Yamato talks about looking forward to Luffy after Ace passed away. The unanswered toast is meant to be finished by him, just like every other Wano plot thread that Ace left over.
Again, whether or not a character joins is up to the author, not the characters they're writing. If Oda decides for Yamato to join, she won't join no matter what. That's just how it is
Unless you can probe the mind of Oda himself, idk why you keep bringing this up. He's the one that wrote Luffy's criteria for accepting members that Yamato is checking off, the crew growing close to her, and her insistence on leaving Wano instead of being some guardian like some people cope her to be.
Jimbei wasn't a side character in his flashback. The whole point of his flashback was to show how he developed the ideals he did by inheriting Tiger's and Otohime's wills. The reason why he's not the main focus until the end is because the entire flashback up until that point was about how Tiger and Otohime affected him and made him into the person he currently is. You're trying to deflect from the fact that Yamato's flashback was incredibly lackluster and told us nothing new that we couldn't already infer.
Or I'm saying your standards for a SH is flawed and doesn't apply to numerous members. Zoro had a lackluster flashback, Brook has a borderline pointless role, Robin was nowhere near as close with the crew as Yamato when she joined, etc. Not that your SH criteria matters in this discussion anyway since they don't affect her chances.
And you're forgetting the fact that the story went to great lengths to show Franky genuinely bonding with Robin and Usopp. Yamato hasn't gotten that with any character other than Momo
Now you're just moving the goalpost since you made a bad comparison. Franky had no teary reaction to Luffy defeating anyone for him nor did Luffy have him as any kind of motivation.
Yes. Unironically.
It'll tie into the theme of Luffy bringing the dawn. Wano's borders can't open until Luffy brings the dawn and Yamato can't leave until that happens. So this given Luffy a personal stake in wanting to bring the dawn.
If Wano's borders can't open until the dawn, wouldn't it make even more sense for her to leave with the person that'll make it happen?

Holy shit…what did you NOT do while you were compiling images and writing useless tripe?? Like, what plans did you cancel so you could write 36 pages (!!!) about a topic you aren’t even analyzing correctly?? Jesus, I can’t believe I ever gave C4N or the pervert bitch a hard time for going too long, this is exhausting in so many ways…
What do you expect from a guy with the name that's similar to Penis...

These bottom-feeders will leave the gene pool without adding to it.

As stated with @dizzy2341 it seems the poster has very little human interaction.

And they were let in

They think Wano is impenetrable because they're incompetent Bureaucrats who are losing their control of the world. Simple as

Noted
Mainly I just wanted to express my thoughts on it and writing an essay is waaaaaaaaaaaay easier than making a video like Morj or Brago D Ace. Only took me like 4 hours too
