I don't see Yamato even close to Vivi. Last chapter gives Momo the most Vivi treatment while Yamato isn't treated different as for example Kinemon.

Vivi will rejoin. Even if she is missed since Arabasta she still has the deepest connection and interaction with the crew. Hell she had more interaction with most of them than even Jinbe.

And she is fully back in the story... Expect some fuckery and also a stupid power up.

Are we still about Yamato? Let her go. She will be back as ally at the final war with Momonsouke, Kinemon, Shirahoshi and all the others

Vivi is coming back soon ending the debates

So we are all happy now. Yamato is a cremate like Vivi.

@Cockycent

Yes that's why Zoro and Brook are staying on the ship. They are waiting for her to pop out finally

This person > that person

@andre

He mentions me here starting at 30:00

And he is right I am passionate but he also seems mixing up my main question. It's not the fire that is confusing me for Sanji as I don't think it is related to Judge.

My question was, what powers has Judge planned for him besides the the super body and all. Because I don't see a reason having the power of invisibility if your suit is making you invisible.

And if it truly was invisibility than Sanji maybe will awaken the full power or it without suit later

I am famous!!! Thanks Greg

@Greg that's true and I won't stop

For the Alabasta part, Oda seems to be doubling down on Vivi's connection to her country and the WG. Now we have Queen Nefertari D. Lili, Oda is showing us you don't have to be a pirate to stick it to the WG and Vivi would be taking up Lili's will, much like Luffy with Joyboy, to finish the fight. Vivi can still be Queen of Alabasta and have a big role in the upcoming fight. Oda has shown us that Vivi will put her people above being a fulltime crew member and I see that expanding to the world during the next couple of arcs. Will she travel to Laughtale? If that hasn't happen before Im's defeat then I'm going with no. Vivi will continue to put the people first.

Yes, I think the current revelations make her even more tied to her country.

Yes, the country will be targetted by the WG, but Cobra's realization was clear: that was the path Alabasta should take. The Will of Lily is for Alabasta to rise against the government at the right time. And, since Cobra himself is dead, that burden falls to Queen Vivi.

Vivi is in a unique position in which she can ally with the Revolutionaries and bring more nations to the rebellion. I can see her (and Wapol) being the ones to reveal the truth (maybe by fooling Morgans into publishing something he wouldn't?), and then convince other kingdoms to join their cause.

I do think Vivi will reunite with the crew in due time. But her greater role is her own. She's in a special position like Momonosuke or Shirahoshi, and I don't see her having the role of the 11th Crewmate.

Arabasta as a physical location is probably irrelevant for the foreseeing future.

I think this why Oda kept the Arabasta delegation in Mary Geoise. That makes it easier for them to contribute to the final war without needing to go backwards in the Grand Line and keep everything within the NW proper.

Kohza should be able to keep things tidy until then. He is a leader too and part of the Arabasta government anyway.

You know, the idea of peacock strings with wapolmetal's morphing properties could be interesting.

But, ultimately, I don't see Vivi as the type to be on New World level, nor I see her fighting style as particularly interesting for fights. I love she's acrobatic and such, but I don't think she can offer much more than some "hell yeah" moments or some supporting role, instead of any extended 1v1 fights.

Honestly, I think this is fine. We know it's highly probable that Kuzan is not going all the way in with the BB, leaving 10 vs. 10. Greg and others have also already gone on record 10 was the number of original crewmembers Oda had in mind anyway, so the 11th will be more of a bonus than anything. That's why I see Vivi heading to Laugh Tale even if not in a fighting capacity. More like a glorified guest.

Right now, there are no other options that would nicely fit while taking in account narrative, thematics and screentime. Yamato lost his chance, Hancock is too unfocused and already proved herself superior than a BB commander, Carrot just got plainly ignored in Wano and given a ruler title so she wouldn't leave the raid empty-handed.

The story right now is placing major importance on the Nefertaris and that's not a coincidence.

What has Greg said about 10 nakamas?

@black-leg-jex where was it said?

Only thing against Vivi is, that there is no chance she has the abilities to fight against someone in the NW.

But does she need to fight? BBs got Kuzan... Who maybe won't be fought by any of the SHs.

Still Vivi is the character with the best chances and best personalty to join as "last" and make the crew complete

I just brought it up because all these years the BBs were the benchmark together with Luffys quote of the amount of nakamas.

Now BB has a shady Kuzan in his ranks and we have a super duper new fraction of 9 people hyped by the revos.

Don't get me wrong. I always thought about 10 nakamas as well but we are endgame and there is no one in sight to flesh out. And without hurting people... No Yamato and Co aren't coming back as well in my opinion.

So what if Oda changed his mind and we will stay at 9 nakamas and Vivi now and forever will stay the 10th without being there.

Chapter is officially out so I think things are getting interesting for Nakama debate... BB was always the benchmark for final villain and the amount of nakamas... But now he has Kuzan... Who is a strange case.

We also got the introduction of the 9 Holy Knights... Which maybe will end with Imu vs Luffy while the other CURRENT nakamas against the rest.

So maybe no new Nakama after all and Vivi will be the Kuzan of the Strawhats without a possible betrayal

It's out

@Kishido I dont know how to feel about your post. Like sure, the aura's and shit are awful but calling the animation awful after an episode like this is just really unfair to the animators. I am going to try and understand your perspective. Why do you feel the animation will be awful. Do you think Zoro's fights are animated worse than Sanji's

Sadly yes the animation for the King fight was not good so far. I hope it will change because I live quality OP animation for everyone. But that Tatsumaki last time was laughable... And the whole aura shit is not fitting OP.

Hell Luffy and Kaidou with all the flowers is still giving me a trauma

@Dahaka @DruMzTV hints aura shit for the episode... Please no...

Also dunno if a recap will do wonders, it the animation was really bad... I just say Lego Tatsumaki
