My opinion is, your post was off-topic and irrelevant. Much of your 18-steps-to-joining-the-crew was "random shit", as you put it. Having a birthday number that aligned with the crew number? Holy crap irrelevant because it was based off her tribe, not her, and a fan, not Oda. For the most part the same can be said about her nation's name aligning with her join number. Her dress looked nothing like Nami's, her pirate flag is not her personal Jolly Roger, the crew members don't have animal themes, the crew's nationalities are random as hell and don't matter, virtually every ally the Strawhats have had ever have been overly enthusiastic for and loyal to them, most of the characters and plot developments in this story were planned ahead of time, almost all of the Warlords that have been individually involved have had a chapter title for them, which doesn't even mention all the other characters who had a chapter title involve their name, Oda's comment from the JUMP Festa came at the same time as Hancock's introduction, not long after she was an arc "boss", you don't understand the love sickness, almost all featured pirates in this story have a nickname, most of the voice actors playing big roles have done so before and will do so again, and having a favorite color is retarded!
wow reading this proves again to me that you don't get it at all. quit your whining.
yes having a favorite color is retarded. but when you take it with all the other things, it is the only thing that distinguishes that person from the other person. so your choice in the end came down to that retarded color. so was it really a pointless fact in the end? no it wasn't, it ended up being the most important.
So sure you might think a few of my points were dumb, or that many other people share many aspects that hancock does, like birthdate given or name in title.
But again use your reading comprehension to put two adn two together. Right back to job interview. Both applicants are given a birthdate, both given name in titles, both former bosses, both with a SH right now, and so on, but what i'm saying is that Hancock has that ONE EXTRA thing on her list that gives her the job.
So go ahead and bash favorite color, or sorority, or handshake, or nami's dress, or hancock having snake theme or the number 9, ect as you say they are random facts and have absolutely nothing to with being a crewmate or getting the job. But when it comes down to it, it may well be that one thing such as favorite color being in their outfit that gives the person the job over another
