General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

[Animangaboy]

So it's not "too damn obvious" to have Yamao state she wants to join right out of the blue in her introduction... but it would be too obvious to have Yamao form meaningful connections with actual straw hats?

She is spending time with the captain(luffy) the one who makes the decision

Welcome back! I hope you're in a good place in life right now.
:cheers:

This thread has officially gone full circle and went back to how it was before.

Thanks! I was always in a fine place in life, I just didn't want to waste my own time. That's why I'm here just to chill and have fun now, not write essays about Anatomy of a Story and argue about something that was decided a long time ago.

1. That's not a wild conclusion to arrive to.
2. Again, Oda likes to have people talk about his manga. It's not about misleading but instead keeping the conversation open.
3. I said this has more to do with the fact that Momo and Yamato are two characters who's dads were rivals yet they picked up traits from one another's parent. Oda clearly wants Momo and Yamato to learn from one another, and I think that ultimately leads to them going on their own separate paths.

Kinda funny that now the misleading argument is a bad one considering that's all Carrot fans had been talking about since Yamato was introduced

Misdirection is only bad depending on how it's used. What's more likely to be the deception in this case:

1. That Oda has a brand new character randomly blurt out as an offhand comment that she will join Luffy. A statement which the latter has not shown any support of.

2. Yamao's entire on screen existence contributes to building her new relations with Wano bound characters

For one of these, Oda can effortlessly have Yamao blurt it out any time he chooses. Meanwhile, the other is only possible through chapters upon chapters of relationship focus and development.

Breh did you miss the other 16 Yamato flashbacks when she kept repeating again and again that she desired freedom? It's definitely not a one time comment lmaooo
Oda basically developed her relationship with Momo and her dream at the same time on Onigashima for a reason IMO

 

[Cockycent]

Yamato gonna start asking for freedom from the Kozuki. The writer has him mentally chained to that family. #FreeYamao

U don't get the whole oden situation with Yamato

Of course she desires freedom. That's not the same thing as expecting to sail away with Luffy though, lol.

Yamao out here suffering. The mangaka got him on Retainer Duty.
Fans
- pronoun war
- he's too tall to walk through the doors on the Sunny
- Nami-face Allegations
- fear of Yamato invading M3

The character really going through it

Bro again she literally says that she wanna go out with Luffy to her father who literally chained her

 

[dizzy2341]

- Nami-face Allegations

Speaking of...it seems Oda's getting even worse with it.

aka it's only valid when it agrees with my headcanon.

1. That Oda has a brand new character randomly blurt out as an offhand comment that she will join Luffy. A statement which the latter has not shown any support of.

It's not offhand, she literally tells Luffy that lol.

2. Yamao's entire on screen existence contributes to building her new relations with Wano bound characters

So we're just going to ignore the character interactions with Luffy and the flashback with Ace huh

For one of these, Oda can effortlessly have Yamao blurt it out any time he chooses. Meanwhile, the other is only possible through chapters upon chapters of relationship focus and development.

Who's the other again?

 

[dizzy2341]

No, she said that he IS going out to sea with Luffy, because she's Oden and because Luffy is Ace's brother.

Straight up delusions.

Yamato has thicker eyebrows.

I member when people thought Jinbe wouldn't join because he'd be the #2 strongest in the crew, good times
And LMAOOO I can't believe the Yamato's too big to join the Sunny was a real argument too

At this point you're straight up ignoring the manga, I can post the page if you want

Don't worry, I got your back. Panel right here

Damn, she's so pretty
Nami better watch out now

 

[dizzy2341]

You do not know what offhand means then, lmao.

The Luffy that doesn't even know what she's called, and the Ace who had the exact same relationship with Tama?

Nah, but fr...

Imagine if Oda really did have Yamao join and you had to see these two on panel, back to back, in the same location.:laughmoji:

 

[Twin Milf]

You do not know what offhand means then, lmao.

"The adjective offhand describes a remark or comment that is made without previous thought or preparation"
I don't think you know what it means either
