I like Jinbe points to title, I just can't see any potential in him to grow as a character. The only flaw I see in him is how he's willing to throw his life away for causes, but Robin already covers that.
Of course, that could easily change, but so far that's the case.

Of course, that could easily change, but so far that's the case.Once again… When did Robin's character start to evolve? And for Jinbei We have a whole arc now where he can shine... And please don't come with the war... Even the comedy characters like Luffy, Ace and Garp where serious and haven't showed their usual quirks. And yeah Robin is throwing away her life all the time? She did it one time and went back that the SHs can save her ass
And Jinbei has hinted much more more story cuz of Arlong, Fisher Tiger and Ace... hell just wait for the meeting of Jinbei/Nami
-
She did it once and learned better, and that was a theme for the entire second half of water seven. It'd suck to see it be reused in some form or another.
You also have to remember what I said myself:

But how could you see a character potential in the past out of Robin's bland cahracter till Water 7, if you are like this.
I'm justsaying. We had a freaking war and everyone is calling Jinbei bland and boring… But forget that even a dumb Luffy was dead serious and without quirks.
-
Luffy still displayed most of his quirks. He still behaved naively with Buggy, even though there was once a time Buggy tried to kill him. He ate a lot when he recovered in floor 5.5, he still behaved in his usual hasty manner, and he was still playful with the sphynx. To say Luffy didn't display any quirks in Impel Down is simply not true.
Robin is an exception, but Robin is an exception to everything and I think Oda intended her to be so. Even so she does have her weird moments. You could say the way she is always calm is a quirk.
Anyway, I'm not arguing Jinbei can't join cause he doesn't have any "quirks," I'm just saying that I just can't see him growing as a character. All the SHs have had character development, something they have but gradually start to overcome. Usopp's cowardliness is the best example of this. So far I don't see anything in Jinbe that gives him a flaw and gives him an extra edge that I can see myself spending another 10 years reading the manga seeing him overcome.

I mean during the war^^ And even after the war at AL Jinbei already displayed some weird faces
And seriously where did Brook has much more growing in his character?
-

Maybe. I'm pretty awful at reading battle scenes so I have to reread it anyway and check.

Brook can be pretty awful at stress management. He freaked over a roller coaster yet was too relaxed when Keimi got kidnapped. He was like this in Thriller Bark too. He's also a pervert and can be very cowardly (again, stress management). To say that Brook doesn't have any flaws for character development potential isn't true. Plus he's the newest crew member, so we haven't seen that character development just yet.

well we Brook was only with the crew for Thriller Bark(when he joined)+sabaody, i think theres still alot of brook that we havent seen yet.
Oda has already hinted at this when brook mentioned being captain of a "battle convoy" in a "certain kingdom" and i think eventually hes going to expand on that. -

checks back on earlier page
Arlong's son. Lol. Dunno if that's funny as I started to think up names like Arletto, Arlonggito, or just plain stupid.
Him having a son old enough to join a crew is stupid. I doubt Arlong is much older than Hatchan is.
It'd be interesting if he or she would also be a sawshark, though. -
recently read elsewhere that the names of the straw hats devil fruits are also numbers repeated -
"Luffy = Gomogomu = 5 6 5 6
Chopper = Hitohito = 1 10 1 10
Robin = Hanahana = 8 7 8 7
Brook = Yomiyomi = 4 3 4 3"the other thing of interest is that there are only two more numbers not used by this.. and we already know who has that devil fruit.
"the only missing numbers are 2 and 9, or Nikyuunikyuu (Kuma's fruit)Was wondering if anyone could give me some confirmation of if this is correct or all bullshit, and whether this could mean Kuma is going to become a strawhat?
Edit: Size went funky somewhere

Where do you have those numbers from… they make no sense

You answered your own question.

Seriously where are those numbers from why should GomuGomu be 5656

Kuma is dead.
And if he wasn't, he'd be an honorary straw hat for his demonstration of massive manliness and honor in protecting the Sunny for two years.
Just like Bon-Chan's demonstration of awesome okamaness would merit him a title of honorary staw hat if he happened to have made it out of Impel down (although I don't believe him dead at all.)That's all I think has to be said about Kuma.
-
Ahh yeah interesting… Not familiar with japanese... But still no for Kuma
-
its from another forum site, that claimed they lined up like this:
Luffy - ゴムゴム - 5 8 5 8
Chopper - ヒトヒト - 1 1
Robin - ハナハナ - 6 7 6 7
Brook - ヨミヨミ - 4 3 4 3
Kuma - ニキュニキュ - 2 9 2 9(Sorry couldnt find the original post i was quoting)
Edit, Theres also mention of it having been brought up at an SBS, anyone heard of that?
-
I readed in the last databook, OnePieceGreen-SecretPiece that Oda clarified that there will be only one new nakamana (IF there will be) … so due the long awaited Fi arc announcement it would have been a fishman/marmaid ... but with ODA everything can happen!
-
Supposedly it's at least one more new nakama, which means there could be more than one.

Wrong… That wasn't said
"TEN OR MORE MEMBERS"
Small corner brings back Luffy's declaration about crew members. They suggest this means he'll get, "AT LEAST," one new member in the New World. Note that in the same blurb, they count the current number at NINE.
-
What worries me is that we're only getting one more member, and they will appear only in the New World and that Fishman Island isn't counted as part of the NW - hence no fishman joining.
Which would suck so much. -
Marco and Sabo :ninja:

Which would suck so much.Me not. We will get at least 2 nakamas and 1 will be for sure at the NW

This has been brought up before here on Ap. I think it was a reader who asked oda if that meant Kuma was going to join in an SBS.
He didn't seem to have noticed : þIf he did plan this… then I think it has already happened, that is, that Kuma helped them and as Franky said, made the last 2 years possible, so that he is now an honorary member of the crew so to speak. But a mindless weapon of the government is not going to join the Straw Hats...

The SHs will storm MHQ 2 free Kuma and bring his mind back… xD

I would actually like to see that… the SH's gather up friends and crewmates and go on an all out war like in the enies lobby arc.
-

I actually think that there will be some plot regarding Kuma in the future, at least I hope so! But as far as crew mate material goes, he's out of the question.

Kuma will be important for the story for sure… So far he he is the character with the most important story left... But if he will come back he will be a revolutionary
-
Th brothers are the last two why not. Logia and zoan. As far as I'm concerned mythical zoan is not the same as a zoan. They need someone on the crew is not a mythical zoan but just a regular zone.
Yes, Mythical Zoans are not the same as regular Zoans.
Hence why they have "Zoan" in the name.
And Chopper's our resident Zoan.

Of course, that could easily change, but so far that's the case.So wait, the one requirement Luffy has ever put on a pirate (the willingness to risk your own life) is your single point of reasoning for him not joining?
That makes no sense!

Perhaps the implied eagerness that others comment on for him to offer to do something even if it costs him his life.
"I will guard this man even if it costs me my life"
"I will carry this oath even if it costs me my life"
"I will clean this toilet even if it costs me my life"While that phrase was a little overused it did portray someone who puts his word/oath importance as something to be honered regardless the cost.
I do like Jinbe in that he would be an ancor of maturity on the crew. But is that enough of a reason for him to be there?
-
I have a feeling the next nakama will have something to do with Fisher Tiger. You know… the guy who freed the slaves.
Maybe a relative or a good friend of his. It just makes sense to me, because of the build up towards fishman island, and the lack of information known about him. Hell, we barely know what he looks like.
Just a thought. It would be interesting if he turned out to be secretly alive or something...

Jinbei? Seriously… he was the captain of the Sunny pirates which were created by Fisher Tiger... It smells liek a connection
How I love this... 90 % of this discussion are wanting a fishmen + connection to Fisher + awesome fishmen karate... But for some of them Jinbei is no choice xD

Asthetics? they just don't like the way he looks maybe?
Remember a lot of people also want a female to join too … Jinbe's erstwhile unknown Daughter for Nakama :ninja:

They don't like his "blant" character which only was seen in a huge heavy war most of the time.
I want a women too… But no fishmen women. I want something like Jinbei... A bad-ass fishmen karate user who will be monster trio level

This couldn't be more true. and didn't he make a promise to Ace or something or was that a misunderstanding on my part
-

It's not only the promise to Ace which makes him a candidate but he made one.

True… Ace asked him to protect his brother but Jinbei declined at first... xD

Why no fishwoman?

Why no fishwoman?
Just because I want Jinbei and he has an awesome style of fighting. And if anythin I want a mermaid
-
the reason why jinbe should join the crew is both usopp and franky who take turns as helmsman have other jobs to do on the ship during battles sure it's fine for them not to do them when theres no fighting but when there is
franky and usopp help out more in a sea battle if they use the ships attacks like that cannon thing needs two people which usopp aimsthats why someone for helmsman is useful he can control the ship while the others do there thing and i say jinbe is still best for that job
one piece is about going around island to island at sea after all and there a difference between normal car drivers and racing car ones due to there skill think of jinbe as racing car driver version for a ship
also before they are going to fishman island there was a 2 year time skip so jinbe would probly be only 3 or 4th on the crew now in poweralso jinbe is a fishman and we don't even know how there race ages giants live longer than humans so you can't really say hes to old
ace asked jinbe to take care of his brother when they were in impel down together and jinbe did however he told luffy to meet him at fishman island which is what luffy is doing
we also known about jinbes name since arlong park arc and remember we got zoros name before zoros joined to so saying we can't get a hint at people joining from there name is wrong we knew luffys was looking for the other members by there job as well
At everyone saying he can't leave fishman island guess what the god oda the most powerful god in one piece universe can protect it one piece isnt real people
also usopp and namis island are pritty defenceless to but oda defends them -
I don't see the female proto-hachi joining, we already have 2 swordmen, and 2 people who can have 6 arms.
-

yes them getting extra body parts is only a temporary thing they go back to a human looking form with two arms and two legs
so i don't think they will get someone who's always like that

Funniest argument yet, IMO.
-
I think we have already heard every argument for and against Jimbe over the past few hundred pages of this thread (not that I have actually bothered reading through them, I think that would probably kill me, some of the drivel in this thread really scares me), we really don't need to go over them again.
