Questions & Mysteries The reason why Yamato didn't join the Straw Hats?

[Kurozumi D. Trussop]

B-but I spend time there....

Serious though, It's Wmoker or Vivi or nobody.

It’s nobody. Smoker is just the current favorite Nakama candidate of the week like it was Stussy before and Bonny before her. Next week people will move onto somebody else.

The only person who still has a slight case is Vivi and that’s only because of the promise made to her at the end of Alabasta. That being said, she would be far more of a burden than a help given how weak she is.

Why Oda in 1000 chapter show to us specific flashback where Yamato heared about Luffy's dream?

To throw readers off. Oda gets this weird hard on for subverting expectations even when it makes no fucking sense within the story.

Caribou also heard Luffy’s dream so he has the same advantage Yamato does.

Sorry this is just pure wank post, nothing to discuss.

Next time be honest and just say you can't conter argument with me because I'm only stating facts and you only has your headcannon.

Absolutely this. Oda even said something along the lines of "if someone online guessed the next chapter/plot point Imma change it" which is absolutely insane for a story teller.

Oda’s philosophy essentially boils down to “let me fuck up my story so that my fans can’t predict what I’m doing”

 

[PortgasDMor]

Yamato didn't join the Straw Hats because there is still a plot that must happen in Wano: Pluton is there. Someone will want to lay their hand on it, and Yamato, as the guardian of Wano, will probably need to try to defend it.
Whatever Oda plans that will happen to Pluton, after that Yamato could join the Straw Hats without worry because Wano will be safe.

THIS IS OFFTOPIC, I will answer you only once

Dude, Zoro low diffed Pica. I won't even compare it to Luffy because Luffy wouldn't be able to beat Pica since he can't divide his body from the ground.

Zoro was strugling against Pica for really long time, and even that he needed help to defeat Pica - someone has to threw him hight in air close to Pica's body.

I don't even like Asura but since you bring it. Asura doesn't lack speed and power since Zoro while in Asura after blocking and tanking Hakai still blocked Kaido's attacks and blitzed him.

Asura mode just buff attack power, that's all.

Zoro lost consciousness to Yeti brothers and Luffy felt down because of Flampee.

Luffy didn't lose coutiousness against Flampe.

Hody that almost killed Luffy. Hody > Caesar, Doflamingo, Katakuri, Kaido?

No, characters grew in power in each arc

Zoro could tanked Akainu fist better than Jinbei that ended up with his hand burned

Zoro from Fishman island will be one shot material for Sakazuki

Out of timeskip Zoro and Onigashima Zoro (before CoC coating upgrade) is almost the same.

They are not

o pretty much the same Zoro at Fishmen Island could block Hakai which is way stronger than Akainu's fist.

COPE HARDER

Peak fiction, how dare you?

 

[Herrera95]

Zoro was strugling against Pica for really long time, and even that he needed help to defeat Pica - someone has to threw him hight in air close to Pica's body.

He didn't struggled at once. Zoro vs Pica is probably Zoro's cleanest fight. He needed help to save Usopp and others not to beat Pica. He had the ability to cut him since beginning of the fight the outcome would never be different.

Asura mode just buff attack power, that's all.

I don't care what Asura mode really does to Zoro(I hate that shit) the fact is that when Zoro used Asura on Kaido he did all those things you said he didn't had.

Luffy didn't lose coutiousness against Flampe.

Whatever he wasn't suppose to be hit or fall like that giving his power level being way superior just like Zoro shouldn't lost consciousness to Yeti brothers. Zoro is the one blocking Hakai which Luffy couldn't. He is tougher than Luffy undeniably.

No, characters grew in power in each arc

Hard fights are what make them grow. And I never said he didn't grew since timeskip I said he is almost the same because he only had easy fights. Different from Luffy that had hard fights and grew much more since timeskip.

Zoro from Fishman island will be one shot material for Sakazuki

Hell no. Fishman Island Zoro already pushing Akainu to hard diff at least. Zoro is not one-shot material for anyone. Unlike Luffy no one ever one-shotted Zoro. Even Mihawk at Baratie have to stab Zoro with pocked knife, slash him in their final clash and them finish him with a big slash.

 

[Peenix]

Pretty sure Yamato was never actually supposed to join. She and Momo explicitly parallel each other

Idk dude Smoker not being there with Tashigi is kinda conspicuous I think

I will use it as signature, ok?

[sanjikun]

She was, then Oda dropped his pencil for a few weeks, and realized she was a terrible character.

 

[Koro]

For example



- if Yamato joined on Wano, then we won't have Egghead arc to get used of Wano PowerUp. IF the clue of One Piece at the end of Wano is clear as it is rumored, then We might straight to Hachinosu arc or straight to LaughTale.
- SH should be still a dark horse, e.g. SH number can't be more than Emperor Shanks & Officers numbers
- Kuzan story is still not fix.
- 3-4 of the match-up arent really compatible.
- if we will really have SH vs BB while SH lack of 1 person, a non-SH Bellamy (or someone or The man with Burned face) can be added out of nowhere

So, since we're already at this timeline, Yamato won't join as SH. She can appear as Momo side

Cannot beat what I have in my signature.

 

[nik87]

Because Jinbe was the last Strawhat and there are no spots left. The entire crew has been introduced in pre-TS.

 

[Afroking]

Oda literally gave her a Wano guardian devil fruit 30-35 chapters before the ending of Wano. Saying he just changed his mind after the break is simply not true.
Yamato also never had any actual dream,when we were shown her flasback. Simply wanting to go out to seas isn't a dream.

Characters saying they want something=/= actually happening.

 

[Violent Sanji]

Yamato didn’t join cause she is mentally ill. She needs help.

 

[Desert Waifu]

Yamato didn’t join cause she is mentally ill. She needs help.

That's not an argument. Half of the Straw Hats have mental health problems, especially Sanji.

 

[Necrohol]

She's stronger than Zoro and Oda can't mess with the M3 dynamic.
