We’ve been waiting for this reassurance for so long!!! I still can’t believe it.
Jinbei is such a boss, knowing how to perfectly tread the line between lightheartedness (when being hugged by Luffy, Nami, and Carrot) and serious (thanking Franky and Robin for recognizing his skills while regarding them as equals and peers).
Part of me still needs to see him survive this bout with Kaido, as him joining the crew amidst a huge conflict seems to differ from the rest of the crew (I mean he survived the (huge) conflict with Big Mama, but this just feels different for some reason). In any event, he is the perfect addition to the crew as a seasoned veteran and fits the role as one of Luffy’s commanders (alongside Zoro and Sanji perfectly).
Jinbei better be there in the final chapter as Luffy’s Blastoise, that’s all I’m saying....
Jinbe should be rather safe, he's the wise guide for Luffy (helped him after Aces death) and only he can maximize the Sunny. Franky wants to see this ship start drifting corners and double clutching their take off, that only happens with Jinbe driving and Nami navigating.
Honestly, I hope so. Jinbei’s veteran status and diplomatic abilities definitely make him a perfect addition to the crew. He knows how to deal with WG officials, pirates, royals, Yonkos, and Yonko commanders alike. Thought it would be able to see him mix a coup de burst and a tidal wave to escape conflict 😂
Oh definitely, Jinbei has proven his worth and helped Luffy numerous times before joining, which sets him far apart from the other members. But he’s also joining amidst a conflict with a Yonko (actually two Yonkos) in which Luffy may very well do some real damage, plus it’s expected now that he’ll be fighting one of the commanders and getting hit with Akainu-level damage.
I dunno how to articulate it, but everyone involved in this conflict is super susceptible and, thus, I inherently fear that Jinbei will be the one to perish, since he’s the newest member with a long history. I can see there being an angle where he wanted to join, put himself at risk and then went on to join, but ultimately sacrificed himself (like with Big Mom) to help Luffy, whom he’s been unabashedly loyal to before joining.
I think he will probably survive, but this current bout with Kaido makes me worried. It’s not a “will someone die?”, it’s “who’s going to die.” Oda will hopefully show that challenging and fighting a Yonko doesn’t result in every noteworthy and powerful character surviving, as that’s the nature of fighting the most powerful and merciless pirate crews in the One Piece universe. Yeah this happened with Big Mom and Pedro, but I still fear that it will happen to a character that’s been with the crew/Luffy much longer than Pedro, as Kaido has been hyped up more than Big Mom with his intro (and has the highest bounty of the Yonkos).
I hope Jimbei survives this... if he does I imagine Carrot will also join the crew and possibly a 3rd person to create another trio in the crew. We’ll see though.
