@sanjikun nah that’s the most obvious reason… The other reason is that she’s a bad character but Oda doesn’t care about that as much as power scaling

@spawn shes stronger than Zoro. If she joined, she’d automatically become Vice captain and fight the second strongest of the next crew the strawhats fight
You think Oda is making Nakama decision based on fan's powerscaling headcanons?

This is a decision that Shueisha is itself involved in, since there's merch, games, anime/movies, etc... and a whole bunch of other shit involved. Oda probably got in a room with his editors and discussed it and cut her off.

She didn't join as I said

Too powerful
Someone who can 1v1 top tier solid mid diff can't join now when zoro and sanji aren't solid mid diff yet
Yeah, she's a mid diff for Sasaki. Oda literally made her just another Scabbard.

No, I think Oda is making nakam decisions based on HIS OWN powerscaling… He chose to make Yamato more impressive than ever YC1 character by making her fight with Kaido way more impressive than either Marco vs Big mom or Act1 Luffy vs Kaido

Oda knows that Yonko can easily dispatch YC2 characters and he made Yamato provably BETTER than any YC1 when she fought Kaido… And so he knows neither Zoro nor Sanji have feats on par with this portrayal he himself gave her so… She ain’t joining

The idea that Oda cares about consistency when it comes to powerscaling is just ridiculous when we have characters like Crocodile and Law in the manga.
@Zaretball
Well have you noticed how Robin, Franky and Jimbei all looked stronger than Zoro and Sanji before joining and then immediately were shown to be weaker once they joined?

well would you look at that, Yamato was clearly stronger than both of them and now SHE IS NOT joining until Both Zoro and Sanji are above her

Well, the first statement is wrong. So all the subsequent ones are wrong too.
@spawn
Her performance against Kaido is above anything a YC1 can do… So…

Magic Sword, Magic Swordsman, and Can Cut Anything
Yes, I will admit, Yamato has better feats than Zoro. And if Zoro’s last fight this arc is an EXTREME diff against King, he will NOT have better feats than her this entire arc since YC1s ain’t got shit on what Yamato was doing on the roof.

So, if Yamato joins with this scaling, she will be the Second strongest person on the crew. And Oda will have to carry this dynamic into the next arc and possibly the end of the story since Yamato’s goal is to be like Oden and Oden is stated to “have become several times stronger” from his journey so Yamato will get stronger as the story progresses.

I want to have a DEDICATED thread on this one topic. How does this affect Yamato’s chances of Joining the crew. The very likely possibility that she will be the undeniable second strongest even down to her Vivre card will say this undoubtedly, “The Second strongest member of the Strawhat pirates”. She will fight the second strongest of the next arc while Zoro fights the third and so on and so forth until EoS.
extrem what?
King isn't agree:milaugh:

Oda knows that Zoro beating a YC1 isn’t comparable to Yamato stalling kaido

You wanna know why? Because Luffy beat a YC1 in WCI and he was still too weak to stall Kaido in Act1.

By default, Yamato has better feats than Zoro and Oda can’t have her join the crew like that
Zoro after he awakened adv coc defeated king low diff
Zoro with adv coc>>>>>>>>>>king

Yamato was always stronger than Zoro regardless of what his legion thought.
yamato wasnt stronger than ner asura without adv coc
