[Even] luffy did not have many crazy antics during the war or impel down.
Lies.
The dude is boring. I drudge through reading his lines and two stoic bushido guys is overkill.
lol I doubt "some random" person is going to join since they won't be random when they get introduced into the story.
His fighting style may be unique but we've seen it before and we'll definitely see it again. If that the case I'm still waiting for my Six Powers user on the crew.
Back before timeskip was obvious, my main argument for Hancock joining the crew was that the crew (or Luffy at least) needed a haki teacher. Now that timeskip has come and gone, and Rayleight has filled the slot of haki teacher. This reduces the usefullness of Boa to comic relief. Or in other words, I admit there is no purpose left for Boa anymore as a central character, and I agree she won't and SHOULD NOT join the crew.
Perona…Perona, well, pre-timeskip Perona was a whiny little bitc-. Now she seems prettier and more mature, so I could in theory stand her. However that isn't really a problem anymore.
I don't have any really good candidates for Strawhat crew right now. Maybe fishman island could present an opportunity, since they are fairly exotic...things in the One Piece -world. And the Strawhat crew is very exotic indeed.
However, I very much feel like the crew is very, very complete right now. The crew is united with a purpose, they are one big family I would say. Can anyone new REALLY make such bonds with each other that we have made with current characters? If someone doesn't join on the fishman island, I'd say the chances of someone new joining will drop significantly with each passing chapter.
I love each and every Strawhat, it will be very difficult for someone to join the crew the more time passes (in relation to how close to end the manga is).
I second that. While I like Jimbei he doesn't fit the "freak-yet-funny" theme that most of the SH has.
Yeah, and Robin is hilarious isn't she?:getlost:
Right now I don't think Jimbei has anything going for him to be next nakama. However, Fishman Island (hopefully) begins next week, and things may change a lot before that arc ends.
Robin is an exception to everything.
Plus, she does have her morbid jokes, and she is kind of goofy in the way she so calmly reacts to everything.
There is nothing goofy or funny about Robin. Stating that someone is going to die horribly is so and so, and flat out refusing to do embarrassing things is really funny as well isn't it? What is funny is how the crew reacts to her, why can't that be the same for Jinbei? Writing that he ain't going to join because he doesn't fit the Strawhat mould is stupid.

I think it is.

Because we already have Robin, why do we need Jinbei if we already have her?
