Oh those arguments ? (you change some things right ?) Well nothing new:
- Carrot could have her own arc after Wano, nothing forbides it and having an arc is not being a strawhat, it's being a arc character.
- A dream and a backstory are not a necessity for reasons I already explained, if you want more info on that go check my twitter account.
- Yamato follows a pattern of an arc character not a strawhat one, like I said .. WHAT IS HER JOB ON THE SUNNY ?
Yes. Oda will adress that after Wano. Wano is not carrot's story, it's momonosuke's one, a bit of Yamato's and the Samourai
- She will never have an arc because she lacks backstory and development.
Robin and
Nami had their arcs later but Oda literally gave them protagonism:
With
Robin, Oda portrayed her as a mysterious character and through Skypiea, the character keep developing (She even had a FIGHT, never she was sidelined) and she read the Poneglyph, learning about Poseidon and seeing Gol D Roger writing, expanding the lore of the Rio Poneglyph, seems pretty massive development for a character.
With
Nami in the Baratie arc, she betrayed the crew stealing the Going Merry and Oda followed showing us this page:
StrawHats are never sidelined. Carrot is outside the Top 50 in Wano and in most of the panels where she appears, she is just a background character, like her last three chapters where she appeared, only showing a panel saying the same line:
Master Neko!
- Why is not a necessity?? Is literally the thing that keeps united the StrawHats, through the pain that they suffered in the past they can understand each other and find a real family within the crew. LMAO
- Oda is hinting us a possible role:
Logkeeper of the crew, just like Oden wrote the logbook of Roger's final voyage. That same logbook that Yamato has readen for 20 years, she could write the logbook of the StrawHats when the crew is finally completed.
Oda has given the logbooks a lot of importance, Zeff's logbook, Noland's logbook, Oden's logbook...
This is indeed the weakest point that Yamato currently has, but we need to remember that we didn't know about Robin's role until the end of the arc.
NEVER a StrawHat has been sidelined this much. The only argument that you have is that Carrot will stow away again just like Inu and Neko, who btw only jumped to the ships to follow their master ODEN. If we go by parallels, Yamato has a stronger case, to be literally the Oden of the StrawHats.
Momo will stay at Wano as the Shogun, taking the responsabilty that his dad avoided. Yamato will join the StrawHats as the Oden who was adventerous, the Oden who wanted to see the world, the Oden who wanted to be free.
I will read your response but if you don't mind it will be another day to follow the debate, you probably know by hand how exhausting is to write/research the bibles that we write lol.
And if you are interested, my percentages are: 99% Yamato joining and 50% Carrot joining.
