Gyges posted:If anyone in the series is a Worf, it's the Smoker and Tashigi team. Their one win was immediately undone by Dragon showing up and just saying NOPE. Despite that, they've repeatedly been promoted and are presented every time as being super strong. That's pretty much my reaction as well. There are multiple villains I would like to have, but fukkin' Doflamingo ain't one of them. Impressive sculpt though.

Yamato feels like Vivi to me; I don't know if they'll end up "part of the crew" but there's zero chance their story is over after their feature arc.

I would argue Yamato's chances of joining the Straw Hats went UP with the last chapter. Since Momo can't be young again, he kinda has to stay in Wano as the new shogun when they win (they're gonna win, let's not kid ourselves) thus completing his character arc. Yamato, on the other hand, with the position of shogun filled, would have nothing keeping them in Wano and would absolutely jump at the chance to set sail as he's already said he wants to do.

Well Yamato has that mythical dog fruit thats the protector of Wano. And Momo needs someone to mentor and train him now that the samurai all got severely rekt. They need someone to repel the inevitable blackbeard opportunistic attack.

anime was right posted:Yamato and carrot joining at the same time would be fun The last time we got a two-for-one on Straw Hats was Enies Lobby, and this seems like a similarly pivotal arc. Just need Carrot to get a big, cool character moment in all this mayhem - maybe by tagging in from Nekomamushi for Round 2 against Perospero, or maybe something else.

I think we're getting at least one new crew member from this arc but there's also going to be more crews in the Strawhat armada. My most anticipated moment in the manga is when all hope seems lost X00 chapters from now and the armada starts rolling in.

I don't think we're getting any new crewmembers. Carrot will go back to Zou with Cat and Dog and Yamato will stay to protect Momonosuke. Hot take, I know.

Momonosuke even apparently looks like Oden now, giving Yamato another reason to protect him. Guessing he'll impress Yamato during the fight with Orochi. Carrot just has no real motivation to stay with the crew after the Wano stuff is settled and Pedro has been avenged.

I don't think there'll be a Whole Cake command in the Armada. A Zou/Wano one is for certain but whether Carrot, Yamato, or neither are the leader is up in the air. One or both could become official crew members or be the leader of their command in the Armada. Either way, a bunch of Minks and SMILE users makes for a very Strawhat group.

Didn't Oda say the next two crew members would join in quick succession? It's unclear whether Jinbei is considered the first of those two, but it feels like a safe bet we'll have at least one person from the Wano arc joining the crew. We're in the final 20% of the story now, so I can't see it being left much longer.ThingOne posted:Yamato said he wants to sail with Luffy and that's all I need to know. Yeah, this is where I land on it too. There are good arguments for and against Yamato joining narrative-wise, but he's declared his intention and it feels like even if Luffy said no, he'd still grab on to the anchor chain or something as they were leaving (like Oden and Whitebeard). Of course he wouldn't last long due to being a devil fruit user, so Sanji or Jinbei would have to save him... jassa fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Aug 31, 2021 |

I don't know if I see a place for Yamato in Wano after the battle shakes out. I don't think anyone would be happy with the son of the war criminal collaborator to the former dictator as the new power behind the throne.. Besides which if we assume that Momo surives and becomes shogun and everyone's dreams come true he's already got his older sister and his retainers to help him along the way. I mean Hiyori has been surviving on the periphery of the royal court for over a decade now, she knows all the power dynamics and the personalities.. who better could you ask to advise you? Yamato to the sea with the Straw Hats!

The parallel of Yamato joining the Hats to Oden joining Roger feels too fun to pass up on. Not to mention he shouted something along the lines "hey I'm joining your crew take me to sea with you". Who's Oda to deny the character their dream? Also can't tell if Carrot joining the crew is a joke or a serious theory. I can't remember any traits about them or any important story beats they had in prior arcs. Granted it's been two years since this fight started.

I think the Whole Cake thing is likely just from how they portray Katakuri and his relationship to his siblings compared to the entire family’s relationship to Big Mom. She’s a tyrant whose own children at times are terrified of her who belittles and pushes away those family members who don’t meet her standards. Meanwhile Katakuri is beloved and literally embraces his entire family so long as they aren’t acting dishonourably. I can see him and Brûlée and Pudding taking a chance to escape with other sympathetic Charlotte family members when the final Big Mom resolution happens. Especially with the potential for say, Marco to lead Whitebeard Remnants and whatever goes down with Shanks it feels very appropriate for a final race to One Piece between Luffy who picks up people from all the Emperors and walks of life against Blackbeard who strikes the weak down and takes the easy way that leaves him with followers only interested in power.

Granted it's been two years since this fight started. It's a serious theory, although its certainly lost some strength given how little spotlight she's had throughout Wano. It seemed a lot more likely back in Whole Cake. Carrot has done a lot of very strawhat things: > Carrot loves adventure, and stowed away on the strawhat's ship without telling anyone. The only other times this has happened were with Vivi and Robin, one of which permanently joined the crew. > Carrot dodged Zoro's attacks against her when we first met her, and has a unique floating + electricity based combat style that is unique even among the other minks. Unique fighting styles usually means either joining up or being an enemy, and Carrot hasn't been an enemy. Although, this got folks with Paulie back in the day, too. > At the same time Jinbei's role as helmsman was established, Carrot demonstrated her potential role as lookout. She can fly up to the crow's nest in an instant and has very keen vision, she was able to call out the directions big mom's armada was chasing them from so they could keep away from them longer. > Her Sulong form is really really cool, and she held her own against some of big mom's commanders for a little while with it, even sinking one of her boats. > And importantly: she's cute and I like her. But again, she hasn't done much of anything in Wano except lose to Perospero (off-screen!) after vowing to defeat him, which. Really hurts her chances. The fact she hasn't had any real spotlighting this arc takes a lot of wind out of this theory's sails. That said if neither Carrot or Yamato joins the strawhats after this arc I will riot

I'd also point out that while avenging Pedro would be great and all, Carrot was also the one to hear him say that it is his firm belief that a Mink needs to be on the ship that finally finds the One Piece, and it was at least implied he believed Luffy will be that person. So, she'd have a reason join to fulfill that mission.

At the moment it's what, four DF users (one of whom can run on water if not caught off guard) and six non-DF users? That's not a bad ratio. Plus the latest addition to the crew was a fishman. They'll be fine.

They have Jimbei who is like the ultimate water dude, he's like 10 non-swimmers at once. He can just make a wave and toss all the DF users back on the boat at once. And Sanji's even gotten faster post-timeskip and loving skips through water now. And the Sunny Go has a submarine.

I need help from this thread. Today at work I remembered a Japanese fan video where they use the tune of We Are but replaced the lyrics with just character names and it fits perfectly with the original song. I have been searching youtube for like an hour now and can't find it, if anyone else remembered it and knows where to find it I would love a link to it. Right now I constantly have the first line stuck in my head and would like the rest of the song.

Yamato is 100% joining, he said that he wants to set sail with Luffy. He also fit in perfectly from the minute he jumped on screen, I can't think of a better new recruit. Carrot is a bit of a wildcard, in that she hasn't really done anything of note in this whole arc other than being beaten off screen. I'd really like to her to join, but odds are looking worse and worse for her.
