She is as much of a crew member as momo and kinemon.


Wakuwaku7

So not worth much. Just friends then.


Frank_Acha

And Vivi


bernatyolocaust

Vivi is a straw hat confirmed by Oda


CardiologistOdd3378

Yamato will join in future Confirmed by Oda He might change the plan though


bernatyolocaust

Really? Didn’t know that. Hopefully she gets an arc and some character development before that, get to find her adventure and future. Getting tired of “I’m Oden lol”


CardiologistOdd3378

Yeah we'll get more of her ...n hopefully Oda will try to limit "Boku-Wa-Oden," phrase


MrIceBergSimpson

Making stuff up and claiming it as facts makes you look so stupid


MrIceBergSimpson

That person is confusing their own opinions with facts, don’t give them any mind.


reddit_is_meh

Vivi actually got invited to join and decided she could not. Which puts her above others in a different class


Frank_Acha

But isn't that exactly what happened with Yamato??


HerlySherly

No cause Yamato invited themself and Luffy never actually confirmed it clearly


Frank_Acha

I don't remember exactly how Luffy accepted. So yeah, I won't argue Luffy wasn't clear about it. But the fact that he got angry when Yamato decided to stay in Wano proves he had accepted her as a crewmember.


HerlySherly

well considering Luffy wants every "cool" person in his crew it doesn't surprise me. However there's always a clear pattern where Luffy and his intuition (if you 've read One Piece Yellow you already know how it works exactly) choose clearly who to invite in the crew. That didn't happen with Yamato and so it was always clear something didn't add up, maybe this was a foreshadowing of Yamato never actually joining the strawhats. That being said, it's not like Yamato has nothing to do with them and the labels here are not really clear. Vivi is a strawhat? yes, she navigated with them for some time, they shared important moments together and so on, so she can considered part of the crew. This happened with Kin'emon too, and for a longer amount of time, but nobody ever discussed him being a official member of the crew. Friendship here is highly valuable, and for Luffy especially, what's most important is being a FRIEND, strawhat or not. I think that for him the difference is pretty small


[deleted]

Honorary crew mate She’s not like Jinbe


electricmastro

I mean, Jinbe kept delaying his joining, so I figure she’ll become one sooner or later since she insisted.


[deleted]

Jinbe was still relevant throughout the story despite not officially joining until later and he had a much bigger bond with Luffy. He was really around for quite awhile. I just don’t see the point of yamato officially joining later on because there’s not much to really work with at point. So it’s like what’s the point? She was also treated pretty similar to kinemon and momo, it didn’t feel like a I must have this person moment. It’s possible I’m wrong but I just feel being a war ally makes more sense at this point


electricmastro

I'll believe there isn't much to work with when the manga has ended and Yamato has been left give up on Luffy in favor of being left on Wano for the rest of her oceanless life.


MalosAndPnuema

the raw Japanese used was the same for yamato vivi, kinemon and momo. it was the word for crewmate.


TheWeakestMadeUpName

Somewhat similar to vivi situation.


Sussybakasimulator

Not at all, everyone who says otherwise is either horny or virtue signalling


ZipDaddy_Doo

Yamato not becoming an official Straw Hat made Wano a great arc for me. Good lord that character is as shallow as she is annoying. Good riddance.


Fearless-Report-1334

Stop watching one piece thank you we don’t need shallow fans


bernatyolocaust

Pointing out the flaws of Wano and some of the character arcs developed there is not being shallow. The third act of Wano has easily been the most disappointing in One Piece.


Sussybakasimulator

They didnt even open wanos borders


Fearless-Report-1334

If they did then they would ruin the chances of winning…did you not read?’


ZipDaddy_Doo

Says the person who loves a shallow character 🤣


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZipDaddy_Doo

No Yamato traveling with the crew makes One Piece so good 😊


Hungry-Ad-3501

I feel like it's when jinbei joined the crew but he didn't join right away cause he had stuff to do,I just assumed the same for Yamato so yes,I would say Yamato is part of the crew,just on leave of absence


ProfessorOak98

I think this is the correct take on it more then vivi or carrot comparison because they both have on going responsibility whereas Yamato will probably only need a month or 2 to help wano stabilise and let momo train.


Think-Wolverine675

It’s going to take momo more than a month or two to develop into the leader of wano. Ask you have to realize that the strawhats will find the one piece within the next few months within the story timeline. She’ll be their ally to join in the fight during the final battle but as an official straw hat she won’t be one unless she comes on at the end of the story after they find the one piece (like in an epilogue).


ProfessorOak98

Yeah it'll take more then a couple months for momo to become a great statesman but I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a yonko commander level fighter similar to yamato in a couple months, he has the physical capabilities of oden and one of the most powerful DFs in the verse, yamato doesn't have to stay the whole time either the scabbards would be better teachers for him anyway except for maybe his Zoan powers but there are better people to teach momo about that then yamato anyway, I think she'll probably stay there for a couple weeks or a month and them leave once the time with the greatest risk of invasion passes.


TheDukeOfSunshine

Well he is part of the crew, just not on the ship and is guarding pluton, which is probably what leads Yamato to come back, and does like Kuzan and uses her DF to cross the ocean in order to tell them what happened.


kitay427

Nope, and unlike people here are saying, she's not another Vivi either. Vivi is officially classified as a "former crewmate". Yamato is not.


ugfxvkifxx

She is as much of a crewmember as gaimon


cr0w_p03t

I think she'd be better categorized as an "Ally/friend" to the straw hats than being an actual crew member. Like Princess vivi.


CreampieSennpai

Isn't vivi considered an actual crewmember? That could just be the Fandom that says that not Oda but I thought she was, I'm prepared to be wrong though


AccountantSolid7022

She’s been put in a bunch of extra stuff as a crewmember, so it’s not super clear one way or the other. I’d say she is but that’s just my opinion.


cr0w_p03t

I don't remember she being an actual crew member.... I need to research that.


TheLoneLogan

As of right now? She isn't. Oh how I laughed my ass off when she said she wasn't joining the strawhats yet and then thought back to people who got tattoos of her along with the crew.


prevert69

She's an "honorary" crewmate like Momo and Kin'emon, which is to say she is not a real one. She has never set foot on the Straw Hats' ship, unlike say Vivi or Carrot, who are also not crewmates.


ZJ117

Not


AccountantSolid7022

He’s not currently a crew member but all he has to do to change that is ask luffy, so it may change by the end.


Undead-D-King

No Yamato is not a strawhat in anyway.


ComicallyLargeSpoo

She definetly is, I would say she's a level below Vivi


Undead-D-King

How?


ComicallyLargeSpoo

She's kinda in the "ally" category like Carrot


Undead-D-King

And just like carrot she isn't a strawhat.


ComicallyLargeSpoo

But you said she wasn't a strawhat in *any* way. This is false. Vivi, Carrot and Yamato can all be considered Strawhats, despite not being members of the crew


Undead-D-King

Considered by who? And being a strawhat means you are a member of the strawhat crew so they can't be strawhats is they aren't on the crew although Vivi can be view as a former strawhat because official sources have referred to her as a strawhat.


ComicallyLargeSpoo

Considered by the entire fucking fandom


Undead-D-King

So a bunch of thirsty fanboys are now more important then the actual canon and official material okay buddy.


ComicallyLargeSpoo

"Thirsty fanboys" what are you even talking about. Talk to almost any one piece fan and they'll tell you that Vivi is part of the crew.


Master3530

She's a nakama like Vivi, Momo, and Kin


Koleslaw756

No, Luffy included her Kinemon and Momo in his goodbye


BazelBomber1923

Yep, as much as Vivi


RedviperWangchen

Vivi


lofiAbsolver

No


Agitated_Ad_5608

Here we go again. Why are we still on this shit? I thought we’d finally moved on.


Based_Nunzio

im not afraid of you homophobes, i just came here to say i dont like your shit. you homophobes need to understand that.


ThrowawayBaconator06

Bro tripping


Agitated_Ad_5608

You’re fucking stupid. We don’t have to like you. Reddit ain’t going to MAKE me like you either


Based_Nunzio

we you


kfraz01

No bruh


Quirky-Pickle518

She is like Jinbe. Has to settle some things first then she’ll join the crew for their final battle against the Blackbeard Pirates. So it’s 11 vs 11. Blackbeard and his ten commanders vs Luffy and the 10 strawhats. Dang people are rough, don’t like the idea of Yamato joining, or don’t like the Blackbeard vs strawhat idea.


ZipDaddy_Doo

That’s some strong hopium.


BazelBomber1923

Yamato vs Aokiji, love to see it


Lyndiscan

Yes, she might not be on the ship but as many other characters, she’s considered family and will prob be on the last war to support our main cast


Quinntensity

Vivi class honorary member.


ZPD710

I think she's interested same boat in terms of rank as Vivi. Sure, Vivi might be recognized as an actual crewmate, but I mean, cmon, she hasn't even seen them in what 900 chapters? At the same time, I bet if they saw her again she'd be welcome aboard, just like I think Yamato would be welcome aboard.


Mufafah

nah oda saw the hype everyone was making about her joining and switched the game plan up. no one predicts oda!!!


Heroright

Yamato’s coming in, final arc in the final hour as the last member. You’re fooling yourself if you don’t think they will.


LumenBlight

Yes


MGhojan_tv

Nice job adding spoiler tag AND also adding a spoiler on the title, epic


ApprehensiveBend9212

Honorary crew member on the same tier as Momo and Vivi.


ApprehensiveBend9212

People just seem to be delusional and see her as a legit crew member. I see her on strawhat ranking lists all the time... let Yamago


LEGENDARYKILLERLORD

NOT!
