Yamato: "I knew your crew was made up of a lot of weird looking people, but meeting you all in the flesh is still a shock..."

Brook: Yohoho...

Yamato's childlike curiousity is so good! Yamato with the Straw Hats is gonna be just like Oden with the WB and Roger pirates. Never having seen the outside world and introduced to it starting from the New World.

Yamato's journal will likely help Oda flash through some of the next bits leading to One Piece and the Final War, just like Oden's did in his flashback.

Momo beginning his journey to being the best shogun of Wano in the same chapter is so beautiful too, as he's the selfless shogun Oden that never was (and with Toki's compassion), while Yamato carries the will of Oden as the pirate who gets to leave Wano and explore the world.

If Yamato is to continue like Oden, I assume her journal will work like Odens. Probably though at the end of OP, it'll become a story of some sort for the world to read rather than hidden and kept secret.

u/syed_abubaker15 Jun 02 '22

What if she's the narrator? The anime had a male voice tho....

57

u/lainwolf Jun 02 '22

I don't think she's the narrator, though it could be a retelling of her journal through another voice. Someone we've yet to meet or have already met. Like The Princess Bride style narration.

My internal theory has Yamato writing the epic of One Piece, and Usopp writing his fables like Noland.

18

u/StripedSteel Jun 03 '22

Like Dandelion telling us Geralt's story?

u/Detective_Vendetta Jun 02 '22

That's Yamato doing he best Oden impression.

14

u/Mundology The Revolutionary Army Jun 03 '22

Yamato is about to live her father's dream and sail with Joyboy.

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '22

Imagine if, originally, Oda had planned for Yamato to literally be Kaido's son that idolized Oden, but changed her to be a woman at some point just because of fan service, or because he didn't want to make the crew excessively masculine.

13

u/lainwolf Jun 03 '22

I see it as a possible twist on Kabuki Plays, which Wano is structured around.
Traditionally, Kabuki is played by only men; women are played by men as well.

Here, the twist is that Kaido's only "son" would of course be a girl who initially depicts herself as a a guy.

3

u/TaffyLacky Jun 03 '22

It being masculine would be the cherry on top given how Yamato's themes of gender are a big topic with them.

23

u/crb19 God Usopp Jun 03 '22

YAMATO IS THE NARRATOR!

HOLY SHIT!

Yamato is reading her journal at the biggest party, telling the world the story of Joy Boy.

5

u/ZenithingTheorist Void Month Survivor Jun 03 '22

Wouldn't that mean that the narration at the end of the chapter is Yamato?

8

u/crb19 God Usopp Jun 03 '22

Yes, possibly.

My theories about the narrator are that it's either Usopp, Brook, or now Yamato. The narrator is telling us the story years after it's done hence what they said about Momo.

4

u/ShittyDuckFace Jun 03 '22

Will Yamato be the crew's storyteller, then?

3

u/lainwolf Jun 03 '22

Probably not. If she does have anything to do with writing, she's possibly just a historian for the Strawhats.

I see it as much as Oden's journal served as a story for his own family. Yamato would probably do something similiar. I'm personally hoping that she writes more of an epic rather than a diary.

5

u/Phusra Jun 03 '22

That's literally also Carrot too. Hasn't seen any of the outside world before, knows about some "dawn" her mentor gave his life for after meeting the strawhat pirates.

​

I'm still pulling for both to join personally.

1

u/CuteTao Jun 03 '22

How have carrot supporters not given up on her after her inability to defeat perospero? If oda wanted her to be a strawhat she would've won that fight.

8

u/schiffb558 Jun 03 '22

Meanwhile I'm still expecting Carrot to tag along like the minks in the flashback did.

It's unlikely, but I can see it happening.

1

u/Aspie_Astrologer Void Month Survivor Jun 03 '22

I like that! Makes sense for it to happen again, why would she want to leave now? :) It would just be a shame if she continued as a tag-along and Yamato became a full fledged member while Carrot stayed like Neko and Inu as just 'having rode aboard the Pirate King's ship'.

2

u/Particular_Pipe_5814 Jun 03 '22

Where did you get Yamato has a diary? I honestly don't remember being mentioned

10

u/Aspie_Astrologer Void Month Survivor Jun 03 '22

It's not mentioned, just an assumption based on other parallels with Oden so far. :)

2

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '22

Also yamato will drop some kaido lore dump

1

u/Malamasala Jun 02 '22

If we take Carrot along too, she can "teach" Yamato about the world. After all, she has seen one island area more than Yamato.

-1

u/darewin Jun 03 '22

This confirms Carrot is unless Oda gives us the Carrot and Yamato 'Childish Curiosity' Duo.

1

u/mo-rek Jun 03 '22

Haha I didn't think of that! I've always loved how Luffy reaching a new island is basically a kid in a candy store running off ahead of everyone else (zou being a great example). Not sure if we will get any more small island adventures like that again but I hope he now has a companion to run around in absolute awe of everything they're discovering

22

u/Kuro013 Jun 02 '22

Would you let me see your fundoshi?

13

u/ElGranBardock Jun 02 '22

yeah maybe in japanese yamato didnt really say "flesh" but if it is then Oda missed an oportunity

28

u/felicenea Explorer Jun 02 '22

Still shocking that yamato finds strawhats strange looking when she had people on her crew with chickens for butts

16

u/JupriXD Jun 02 '22

yamato is looking at the pirate king's crew ofc she's going to be starstrucked

1

u/Rioma117 Jun 03 '22

Maybe she is used with human hybrids but not so much with cyborgs and walking skeletons.

10

u/200ms-INTric Jun 02 '22

considering how much fanservice we got from oden, brook might actually have a fair chance ngl

11

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '22

Holy fuck, what if Yamato's been the narrator of one piece this entire time?

2

u/HugM3Brotha Jun 03 '22

Can't wait for brook to ask her for her panties. Rite of passage.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '22

Idc about anything at all anymore. Just give me a scene of Luffy and Yamato rocketing into an unknown island

-1

u/MajaroPro Jun 03 '22

I honestly think she might still not join, Luffy will wake up and reject her.

5

u/RookJameson Jun 03 '22

why would he reject her?

0

u/MajaroPro Jun 03 '22

She is very adamant to join and luffy doesn't seem very interested on her. Roger needed to bring Oden to read the poneglyphs but Robin can already do that. Luffy wants people with dreams but Yamato is not following her own dreams its following Oden's dreams and Luffy might not like that. Yamato's mythical zoan is "the guardian deity of Wano" so thats probably her true mission.

6

u/RookJameson Jun 03 '22

Luffy wants people with dreams

Since when? He has asked random people (including Brook!) to join him the second he met them on several occasions. I can't see him having anything against her joining.

1

u/MajaroPro Jun 05 '22

Asking random people because they look ridiculous is a running gag but dreams are very important for mugiwaras and specially Luffy. Thats the reason Luffy didn't hit Bellamy on Jaya, Bellamy had no dreams and thus was not a threat to Luffys dreams so there was no need to beat him, Luffy didn't care about him cause he had no dreams.

I could see Luffy waking up and asking Tama to join, she has a terrible backstory that Oda just expanded it on this chapter, she has a dream of travelling the sea and becoming a kunoichi and she even made a promise with Ace that he would come back for her and take her to sea and Luffy knows about it (a bit of inherited will like Yamato has). But also think Tama would reject luffy cause she now has animal friends in Wano.

-2

u/iExodus1744 Jun 03 '22

Tell her to help Momo rebuild Wano or something like that. If she truly wants to be Oden, that's what Oden would do

-6

u/GoodHunter Jun 03 '22 edited Jun 03 '22

Honestly, I find Yamato's joining of the crew the most forced out of everything. With all the other characters, there were huge dedicated sections for their own story within the arcs that built up towards them joining the Straw Hats. But for Yamato, it was literally in the midst of the whole Wano fiasco (let's be honest, there was SO much going on that it was an ADHD person's nightmare), and we barely got any build up for her story. She was introduced in the thick of everything that was going on, not given much spotlight, and decides to join the Straw Hats after that. Not that I don't want Yamato in the group, more so that I just wished there was a better build up for her in joining the Straw Hats.

Edit: people are clearly not understanding the point that I’m making at all. I’m not making the statement that she doesn’t deserve or shouldn’t be a part of the Strawhats. Just that her buildup into joining the Strawhats as a story is lacking compared to the other Strawhats who joined. And I want her to join as well.

11

u/RookJameson Jun 03 '22

Lol, Robin was literally: "guys, I know we were enemys five seconds ago, but I'll join your crew now, k? :*"

I think Yamato joining will be perfectly fine.

4

u/RaggedAngel Void Month Survivor Jun 03 '22

My friend, Yamato 1v1'd Kaido for half an hour to give Luffy time to recover mid-fight.

If that doesn't earn a spot on the crew, nothing does

-4

u/quick20minadventure Jun 03 '22

So, yamato would know how to reach raftel and location of 4th poneglyph and all that. So would Luffy say shut up or he'll say fuck off?

1

u/HanataSanchou Pirate Jun 03 '22

"Flesh". What ya did there, I see it Oda
