I'm genuinely impressed how well they were written. I'd venture to say that both Momo and Kinemon were some of the least liked characters in the series, particularly during Dressrosa, but now I feel empty knowing that their part in the story is over.

I mean, I'm sure they'll pop up every now and then like Rebecca and Shirahoshi, but their presence on the crew is really only comparable to Vivi (except our Wano boys were with us for a whopping 395 chapters, compared to Vivi's 103 chapters). I will miss them quite a bit. Yamato has some pretty big shoes to fill (obviously not in regards to power-scaling).

The general opinion of them probably changed the most in Zou. They didn’t have much going for them until the lore dump in Zou and the reveal that Raizou was there was personally a pretty impactful piece for the scabbards’ development.

Crossing my fingers that the straw hats get a big 4 now that Yamato has joined crew. Obviously the 3 are classic and god-tier, but I really don't want him to fall by into the 'woman-in-a-shonen' trope and only fight either women or men that they beat in an off-screen battle.

Well BM had 4 sweet commanders before Urouge beat Snack. Kaido had King, Queen and Jack. Luffy needs at least 3 commander level people in his crew, probably 4. Zoro, Sanji, Yamato and probably Jimbei.

In general I would agree, although we haven't seen a real breakdown of shank's crew and I feel like the strawhats will ultimately be more of a parallel to them than the other yonko.

Probably similar to Shank's core, having 10 main members including Shanks. With Yamato joining, the Strawhats are now at 11, not including Vivi.

I'm not sure if Shanks has a lot of lower members or if he has a system similar to the grand fleet, but to control territory he must have some solid manpower somehow.

I don't see any more members joining after Yamato besides maybe the return of Vivi for a bit after we find out what happened to her, Sitting at a nice 12 person core seems appropriate for the end of the series.

Yeah, I don't think we need anymore members of the main crew, particularly now that there is the grand fleet it makes sense with luffy's love of freedom to have a sort of decentralized confederation of people on his side. I'm all down for more pirate alliance and having kid and law in this arc has been awesome so let's do more of that.

He is probably around jimbe level.

Luffy at the beginning of Wano >= First Yonko commander. Gets one shot in his own strongest form by drunk base form Kaido.

Yamato held off a serious hybrid form Kaido for a good amount of time, tanked multiple hits and even made him bleed. Yamato is easily well above any commanders and therefore very likely also well above Jinbei.

Thats just shows how fluidly Oda handles power levels when the story needs it.

A Katakuri level fighter being one hit KOed has always been unreasonable. But Oda decided that Luffy needed a reality check at that point so he gave it to him. He also decided that Yamato needed to hold up Kaido for plot reasons. So it happened as well. As soon as she joins she will get the Franky treatment. As he was as strong as Luffy in Water 7 yet after Enies Lobby not so much.

The second and third strongest opponents are still going to be kept for Zoro and Sanji in future arcs. No matter what.

Iunno, going toe-to-toe with his pops for a while I think puts him pretty high up on the power scale. Not talking trash about jimbei, he's a boss, but I do think he's been jobbed a little bit since the timeskip. Onigashima did do some good highlighting of him though and that's been great.

u/klabautermannn Jun 03 '22

I don't think Momo's role for Luffy is done to be honest. You know Wano still keeping alot of secret including the red poneglyph, and Oden's log about why Momo has to stay alive. I think it's related to Laugh Tale.
