RE: Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 9 - Yamato vs. The World)
Since Oda's early concept sketch of the crew showed only 10 members including Luffy that he clearly had some ideas for even if they ended up changing over time, but he's sort of pigeonholed himself into all of the readers expecting 11 (Luffy+10 nakama as stated at the beginning of the series), I wonder if Carrot and Yamato were pure experiments for him to try to find the right final piece. And he ended up getting tired with them/thinking they were the wrong fit. They do have a lot of superficial similarities both being genki brawler girls that are naive about the outside world and have cool furry transformations. If this is the case then I wonder if
A) He will make yet another attempt at this archetype in the next arc with minor adjustments
B) He will realize this type of character just isn't meshing and the next experiment will go in a totally different direction
C) He gives up and either has Jinbei be the final or brings back Vivi.

@Shiebs IIRC she had her crew in the non-canon cameo fest Stampede for whatever that's worth. Might be nothing, who knows if Toei would even care to consult Oda over a small detail like that.

@Zik said in Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 9 - Yamato vs. The World):
LOL @ Carrot being the most realistic possible candidate left to join. I thought the past few chaps wrapped all of that up.
Carrot having this duke role randomly foisted upon her with the other minks dangling her dead mentor over her head, the scene ending with a worried expression on her face as she says "Pedro..." instead of a yes/no answer, and her not even getting a goodbye scene with the people she adventured with for an entire arc is literally the opposite of wrapped up.
I have no special fondness for Carrot but even I am expecting a sudden band-aid flashback with her after Oda gave one to Marco+Yamato. And I understand why the Carrot for Nakama gang feels some newfound hope because her """"""conclusion"""""" in 1057 was very weird otherwise.

Repostin my Vivi opinion from a spoiler thread
I think Vivi is the most logical "final nakama" candidate at this point and my only gripe with her is a superficial one. That being she's the progenitor Namiclone and that issue is gonna become 10x more apparent if they're ever on panel together again in black & white now that they have the same hair length. Also the same height which was true before. Literally the only thing that's gonna differentiate them is Viv shows slightly more forehead.

@Deicide Yeah I know he keeps reinforcing the 10 thing. I'm just wondering if he is genuinely struggling to settle on an idea for the last member. I can't rationalize a reason for Yamato's existence apart from something cynical like "trolling" or "merch sales" otherwise.

Scene 3 :
Man imagine if even just the flashback alone had this kind of animation instead of the qualityfest we got back in ~2015
