Even though Kaido is pissed that Yamato wants to be like Oden, and is a brutal warlord that wants to create a state of anarchy, he still calls him his son.

Kaido is secure with Yamato's gender identity. KAIDO. One of the biggest villains in the series.

Though it is fun to see transphobes out themselves on Twitter whenever this rolls around.

"Dude, nice rack, bro!" "Yo, thanks!" *fistbump*

Yeah, Kaido didn’t care that his kid wanted to be a boy, his issue was that his kid specifically wanted to be Oden

I miss Yamato, I hope he comes back before long

the Okama Kingdom is a place that Sanji found so gross he learned how to fly to get away from the people there, which obviously sucks.
But at the same time, they're an important part of the revolutionary army and are on the whole a force of unambiguous good in the setting, so it's kind of like lose two take one in the end. It's weird.

Okama Kingdom is rough re-read, cause the entire premise of Sanji getting his power-up was Drag Queens are gross uggos and it was just.. yeaaaaah. Not great.

And not even in a 1 note throw away joke, but multiple chapters.

Waffleman_ posted:

There was also a good portion of the arc where it really felt like Yamato was going to become a crew member, so it would have been a trans main character

Honestly it was pretty much right up until the chapter where they were leaving it felt like they were going to join the crew

But again it was also the arc where Jimbei officially joined, so I guess Oda talked himself out of adding 2 new crew mates at once.
Probably a too many cooks situation re:battles as well.

There’s still a possibility of Yamato (and maybe Vivi) joining back up towards the end though

Part of me still hopes Yamato will roll in by the end of Egg Head or something, especially in hindsight as Egg Head would have been an awful "first time Straw Hat" arc for him, but that's clearly cope and also seeing all this twitter poo poo pop up again maybe it was for the best :sigh:

I seriously doubt Oda made any last minute changes on Yamato joining. A new crew member should be a huge deal and major part of the story backbone.

That said, yeah I also dunno what he was doing with Yamato's writing wrt to being part of the crew in the last bits of Wano. The ending was kind of a rushed mess.

There's going to be a moment where all the straw hat allies sail out to go to war with the government and/or blackbeard and Yamato will likely be part of the Wano fleet as a commander

I like that oda draws like he does. I'm not horned up for it, I just think its a funny pg13 pervy comic by a funny pg13 pervy guy. It's 2023 and I see another "awooga!!!" joke in my manga about stretchy pirates and I think "hehe hell yeah"

People always default to the Vivre Card and that one intro box saying Yamato is Kaidos daughter. But for whatever reason they ignore the fact Kiku had the same loving text box introducing her as "Izous brother."

It's cause nerds get scared of jerking off to a dude. That's it.

they don't really care about Kiku but if they did, anyone desperate to prove Yamato is a girl would gladly accept that as proof Kiku is a guy

It works better in Japanese because his epithet is literally just "Captain" in English rather than just the normal word for captain

There's an entire scene where Yamato is bathing with Luffy and the male part of the crew!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could call Kiado crulle, and a tyrant but not a transphobe.

"Captain" has deep cultural meaning in America that can't possibly be portrayed with Japanese words like "キャプテン."

The interesting thing is that someone in this thread made a complaint along the lines of "Yamato's reason for staying behind doesn't make sense to me; my headcanon is that Yamato is staying to protect Wano and isn't saying so in order to spare Momonosuke's feelings." And then it turned out that Yamato was indeed staying to protect Wano and came up with the thing about wanting to tour the country to spare Momonosuke's feelings!

The captain is the most important person in a pirate crew so if thats your nickname you must be very important.

Didn’t Sanji get a transfusion from a gay guy in Fishman Island and that was the last of his nosebleed problems?

They weren’t particularly positive towards that character from memory.
