Laugh Tale, for me, is far too late for the last crew member. Where is the fun in someone joining at the last second?
I’m assuming we’re hitting Sphinx before heading off to Lodestar so Sphinx is going to be my hard cut off for the last member.

Not last second, but in Yamato's case, if she really is meant to parallel Oden, then I could it's possible she could join Luffy at least a year before going to Laugh Tale, like how Oden joined Roger a year before he did, to pursue the goal of finding the missing answer as to why the borders should be opened, and maybe even the intentions for Pluton and Joy Boy too.
As for Momo, he's definitely not the same now as he was at Punk Hazard, at least. If Oda had this scene here to end off Act 3 for a specific reason, then it would probably be to prelude him proving Yamato wrong about her needing to stay and him gotten farther enough after all. This all in mind, I hope for the best.
-
I hope whoever the last member is they join soon

Even though I welcome anyone into the crew any time as long as Luffy sees them as a genuine friend, for the sake of the audience wanting to have some meaningful time with the crew, I'd suppose I'd give Luffy's 10th member at least two years before the end. Oda suggested ending it in three years, but knowing him, it might go beyond that anyway. lol
-
@electricmastro I don’t see the series ending in even 5 years lol, there’s just so much left, Oda has been saying 5 more years since the beginning of the series
-
We may get more than 5 years but we don’t have many island adventures left, unless Oda has surprises for us. In that case it will definitely be more than 5 years.
-
Who needs to speculate on the various female character anymore when we've got a perfectly good Caribou around to get all my support?
-
Caribou joining would be an even bigger rug pull than Buggy becoming an emperor

I suppose it's fair enough to suggest that the final war would last more than 2 years, because the Raid on Onigashima was 2 years.
Alright, I'll posit that no one will join during the final war itself, and would hope that Luffy's 10th crewmate be there at least 1 year before going to Laugh Tale.
So in total, that would give at least 3 years with the 10th person alongside the crew, which may likely be higher anyway depending on all the things and other characters Oda would want to showcase. Would anyone else here think this is fair enough?
-
Well, he meets all the critteria:
- Knows Luffy's dream
- Was inside a barrel in the Sunny
- Logia power
- Lots of gags
- Unique design
/sarcasm
-
Just wait until it get's revealed that "that person" he's talking about is refering to Joy Boy.
-
I was hoping that Oda would go all-in on Caribou trolling, but it looks like my dreams have been shattered once again.
-
Actually, going back to the idea that Oda thinking of One Piece’a structure like a video game, I suppose he would have had to consider how he’d approach the idea of a first time meeting and recruitment of someone after the time skip. Because of how in video games, particularly RPGs, where you sometimes find find characters and only end up recruiting them into your player’s party at a later point in the game as opposed to the beginning, like how Vincent Valentine’s recruitment happens around halfway in Final Fantasy VII.
I imagine some people would be against the idea of Luffy recruitment someone he met after the time skip as opposed to before, since he met everyone from Zoro and Jinbe beforehand. Because of the desire to have a closer-knit group be in the know of what Luffy’s life was like before the timeskip, but I’d def be interested in how Oda would handle a later party recruitment if he’s very much approaching it like a video game.

@T said in Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 10 - Egghead):
Waribou for nakama. He heard Luffy's proclamation of his dream. Luffy already accepted his request to be on the ship. He also joined fake SHs as a foreshadowing.
I don't think he heard him. Earlier in the chapter Caribou said "I can't really hear them". He only vaguely heard about "going to Mariejoa" because Luffy was shouting.
-
Oda did draw Caribou’s barrel ver near Luffy when the later finished telling his dream, so I think it’s very clear he heard it, or at least enough of it.
Wano predictions: There will be 5 acts; All Straw Hats will get fights, some in Act 4; Big Mom Pirates will arrive; Carrot will have her moment, but won't join; Yamato will be a Kouzuki samurai and Wano's Guardian; Shanks will visit Luffy in Act 5; Next arc is Mary Geoise.
-
@Deicide Zoro kicks Caribou's barrel away in literally the next panel. So I see it as the opposite, that Caribou was there and trying to get closer to the conversation but Zoro got him out of there so he heared none of it.
-
Caribou's barrel near Luffy just before the dream is told:
Caribou's barrel again near Luffy just after the dream was told:
Oda didn't conveniently left the barrel there within the panel, but away from the center, for nothing. Caribou is hearing, or at least hearing enough to have a consequence later.
Edit:
And, for further evidence: the Barrel was farther away from Luffy before Zoro kicked it. So, while Zoro kicked it away, Luffy changed position closer to it afterwards:
In my opinion, the end result will be this: Caribou misheard they are going to Mary Geoise, but he also got at least something out of Luffy's dream, and both info will end up causing problems later.

Caribou doesn't seem set to have a grander dream either, as it happens. lol

I know there is a lot of disdain at the idea, but I don't think Caribou is as much of a long shot as stated. Official role on the ship : Porter ... or Cabin boy. Plenty of laughs to be had. Good synergy of carrying all the heavy equipment into battle for Franky. A new member of the weak group. I could see it happening.
Life flows on. I'd just go with it, if I were me.

Caribou being given a redemption arc to fill in his place with the crew is admittedly kinda pushing it in the first place, especially compared to the someone else I have in mind. Even Usopp isn't treated like a joke like how Caribou would be. lol
-
If I was still a believer in the SHs getting a Logia user, I would be more open to the idea of Carbou joining the crew. That died for me back in Dressrosa with Sabo getting the Mera Mera no Mi.
Other than that, his design screams Blackbeard Pirates and he has been out to get the SHs since Sabaody. I really wanted Oda to troll readers into thinking he was the last.

I love caribou and I really really want a logia user on the crew (an ocd thing that probably doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to most people) but I just don’t see him as a Straw Hat

He didn't even clearly hear Luffy's overall dream to give a reaction either.
Actually, Luffy could have given it in Chapter 100, but instead, it was only in Chapter 1060 of all chapters is when Zoro and the others finally find out, which is peculiar.

Do you think Bonney has another way of fighting outside of making people older or younger?

No idea, but speaking of her, seeing show Bonney missed hearing Luffy's overall dream by a few days, would she be set up to clearly hear it then?
-
@electricmastro I think only Luffy’s crewmates will hear his dream, until it’s accomplished
I don’t think she’ll join so probably not, but who knows

Well let's see, assuming the people who know about Luffy's overall dream are meant have some closeness/sentimental value with him:
Shanks wants to be his own boss.
Ace is dead.
Sabo wants to be part of the Revolutionaries.
Rayleigh is retired.
Momo wants to be shogun.
So therefore, that would leave Yamato who expressed the desire to be a crewmate, and might be the most likely to sway from her current circumstances assuming Wano gets reliable defense in exchange for her finally leaving with an actual goal in mind.
It's odd though, because out of all the people that clearly know what Luffy's overall dream is, Yamato has like the least amount of sentimental value Luffy has for. Even with Momo, Luffy referred to him like a brother.

I don't think it's really a bait and switch since Yamato still wants to be a crewmate. If it really was something we should give up on, then Yamato would have given up on being a crewmate and be stuck on Wano for the rest of her life even at the risk of being more miserable of not getting to fully experience her freedom at sea I figure.
Otherwise, we might as well say Jinbe is a bait and switch since he denied going with the crew multiple times, and yet now he's here. Or even Vivi to a bigger extent since Luffy and Vivi haven't even talked to each other in like 20 years. lol
Like I was saying, I think more interludes of showing Momo's progress in becoming a reliable defender himself would also allow for glimpses in just how content Yamato is as well. Maybe on a cover story, maybe in an interlude by the time Egghead ends. I think doing or not doing so would give an idea as to how Oda is prioritizing all this.
-
I've had my fill of bait and switches from Oda. lol
-
@Zin-Magala said in Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 10 - Egghead):
I've had my fill of bait and switches from Oda. lol
I think it might come across that way recently, with Act 3 in particular, because it seemed to have Oda switch between so many viewpoints and choices as if being excited to show off as much as he wants to show, but realistically can't in the end due to page and time limitations, or maybe just changing his mind in general.
It was only until after Act 3 ended that he then decided to show off Cross Guild in 1058, Seraphim in 1059, and Im's Death Ball in 1060, whereas he didn't before in Act 3 most likely because of other priorities. Oda even ended up showing Luffy thanking Marco in 1059, even though he could have easily chosen to show it before 1057.
So I think that in whatever Oda decides to show in Egghead and onwards, that they won't be necessarily done out of compromising and conflicting interests over scrapping to show things in a certain chapter due to said priorities. Because these last few chapters have really made me start to realize just how much Wano was "Momo's arc" due to his role and how much importance was emphasized on it.

There will always be someone who's unable to move on. That's just how things are in these threads. Doesn't mean though that the huge bulk of Carrot suporters still thinks like this nor that Carrot is the only character where the supporters weren't able to move on.

Very simple reason. Because she's not in there. Just ignore everyone who says otherwise. Heck, I was one of a strong Carrot supporters (and still wish she would have been part of the crew). But that doesn't mean that I don't know that ship has sailed. Just don't waste your time on even trying to find arguments on why this is nonesense.

Well, I say all that, but seeing as how I mentioned that we might have an interlude showing a glimpse of Momo's training after his admiral failure and by extension Yamato, then I think one can also suspect a glimpse on Carrot's life by the end of the Egghead Arc in an interlude.
Oda has done things like devoting chapters to Koby's training and seeing Rebecca in an interlude right after Zou, so I'm sure it would be reasonable to suspect there will be glimpses on Yamato and Carrot after Egghead in an interlude. So we'll have to see, unless Oda has suddenly decided that people like Momo aren't important of course.

It's one thing to assume that characters will appear again in a series which for a decade now has set up the idea of a final big war that will engulf the entire world. And it's a completely different thing to say that a character like Carrot is stuck inside Caribou for several days and still showing no sign of coming out.
Will we see Carrot again? Of course we will, just as we will see Yamato, Vivi or Hancock and everybody else. Each of those characters are tied to the Strawhats and their homecountries play a role in the entire opposing the WG plotline.
And when all of them reappear again this thread (whatever incarnation it will be) will be ten times more toxic then it ever was because instead of celebrating the return of personal favorite characters, this thread will rather be flooded with smug "told you so's" as if it's an accomplishment to predict that any character will come back for the big battle royale.
Anyways, to get back to what you said. It's absolutely ok to discuss various ways of how a specific character might come back, or be shown in flashbacks. But giving attention to ridiculous theories from people who seemingly cannot move on is just a waste of your time. You'd be doing yourself a favor to focus your energy on other topics.

But that doesn't mean that I don't know that ship has sailed. Just don't waste your time on even trying to find arguments on why this is nonesense.
I'm inclined to agree.
Well, I say all that, but seeing as how I mentioned that we might have an interlude showing a glimpse of Momo's training after his admiral failure and by extension Yamato, then I think one can also suspect a glimpse on Carrot's life by the end of the Egghead Arc in an interlude.
Oda has done things like devoting chapters to Koby's training and seeing Rebecca in an interlude right after Zou, so I'm sure it would be reasonable to suspect there will be glimpses on Yamato and Carrot after Egghead in an interlude. So we'll have to see, unless Oda has suddenly decided that people like Momo aren't important of course.
It's one thing to assume that characters will appear again in a series which for a decade now has set up the idea of a final big war that will engulf the entire world. And it's a completely different thing to say that a character like Carrot is stuck inside Caribou for several days and still showing no sign of coming out.
Will we see Carrot again? Of course we will, just as we will see Yamato, Vivi or Hancock and everybody else. Each of those characters are tied to the Strawhats and their homecountries play a role in the entire opposing the WG plotline.
And when all of them reappear again this thread (whatever incarnation it will be) will be ten times more toxic then it ever was because instead of celebrating the return of personal favorite characters, this thread will rather be flooded with smug "told you so's" as if it's an accomplishment to predict that any character will come back for the big battle royale.
Anyways, to get back to what you said. It's absolutely ok to discuss various ways of how a specific character might come back, or be shown in flashbacks. But giving attention to ridiculous theories from people who seemingly cannot move on is just a waste of your time. You'd be doing yourself a favor to focus your energy on other topics.
Well, I figure people would go along with what you said about " Just don't waste your time on even trying to find arguments on why this is nonesense."
But yeah, I figure the interlude after Egghead will really give an idea of where Oda's priorities lie at that point.
Until then, that all said, I'd say it's fair game to discuss Bonney being closer to the Straw Hats of course. She seems to be getting along with them already. Hahah.
Yep, discussing Bonney is what should be going on now for obvious reasons.
They do seem to be getting along as friends already.
