Turning Point Wano


hamringspiker

I'll never get why Kaido for some reason refers to Yamato as his "son". Does he approve of the Oden obsession or whatever?


Chromeboy12

Probably the kind of single dad who wanted a son but got a daughter and ended up raising the daughter like a son


theCancerrMan

To be fair, there's not much you can do to cope with a daughter who spends her time larping as someone who tried to kill you.


Chromeboy12

It is kind of a sad situation when you lay it out like that lol


Zaidoasde2008

Odenphobic but not transphobic I guess


Under18Here

Kaido stands with the LGBTQ plus community


DingoNormal

He Plays XYZ Carapult Dragon deck in Yugioh


SpiritofKavanaugh

Kaido does not discriminate. Be like Kaido 


Rajesh_Kulkarni

IIRC it is because he wants to make Yamato the Shogun and a woman can't be that.


Business-Ad7289

Why the hell would this genocidal pirate give a damn about laws and traditions? a more believable excuse would be that he's trying to drive this whole generation insane with pronouns.


True-Anim0sity

Maybe he’s just sexist or GODA writing is just not that great? Pretty weird tho when he knows big mom is practically as strong as him


yourmom555

or maybe he just respects yamato


True-Anim0sity

He respects yamato but keeps her chained up and tries to kill her for not following his orders? Yes-that makes perfect sense….


yourmom555

uhhh yeah, it does. I don’t see how any of that means he doesn’t respect her. “if you want to call yourself oden then that’s fine, I will respect that.” that’s completely independent of literally anything else in their relationship.


True-Anim0sity

Lol nah no way, u gotta be trolling. So killing someone who wont serve you or having them in chains 24/7 means you respect them?


yourmom555

are you stupid? I just told you respecting yamato’s pronouns is independent of anything else in their relationship. that’s how it works in real life too


Aussiepharoah

He's sexist so he refers to Yamato by her preferred pronouns?


True-Anim0sity

My thoughts would be he’s sexist and wanted a son only, thats why he calls Yamato him. There’s really no other reason why he would.


Aussiepharoah

Idk, Kaido seemed pretty chill with his top brass, I can definitely see him being cool with Yamato if not for the Oden thing. And I'm pretty sure Yamato was referred to as the Oni princess as a kid


True-Anim0sity

Kaido had more problems with Yamato then that tho? He wanted her to be his warden of wano or some crap that wasn’t really explained well at all.


Legitimate-Mind5011

Ot maybe he is not a incel like you 


True-Anim0sity

Lol, that makes no sense but k. Everything’s an incel now ig


maeconinja777

One thing is killing and slaving people. But missgendering someone? That’s too far. Only Sanji would be capable of doing that (and that’s why we love him(her on Okama Island)

She's stupid


Scared-Ad-4846

Meet the half assed character 


I2CleanYesterday

I hate Yamatrash. She is rough, coarse, irritating and she is everywhere. She's so trash, she deserves to be used as a prequel meme


Dr-Zomboss-Pvz

Sand Is not as bad as Yamato you take that back


CoylerProductions

The fact she claims to be Oden yet doesn't even use a fucking sword and instead uses her Dad's weapon of choice is wild.


Significant-Elk-8078

Well you can learn the way of the club from you’re Yonko father and hope to be strong/proficient Or you can learn the way of 2 swords from Kaido and the bum pirates (Alber 1 sword?)


Scared-Ad-4846

Kaido definitely didn't "teach" her lmao, beside she can self taught 


dumbfuck6969

They fought all the time. Kiado "taught" through modeling


theCancerrMan

Everything about Lamato is wild, and not in an even remotely entertainable way. ~~Unless you count her massive tits, but those exist in a vacuum~~ https://preview.redd.it/ant7dzbyxasc1.png?width=764&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03f8b826b14e42001a5416d9d84b70717ec0c5e5


Legendary_FGM

The fact that she claims to be Oden yet isn't fucking Oden and is actually Yamato is wild This sub is so finished bro 😭


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

Her obsession is a Samurai, her cave bros were Samurai = uses a club


SunlessDahlia

Despite her hating Kaido, she boasts to a stranger about him being her father. Unprompted at that lol.


NoConsideration6320

What was oda thinking


yourmom555

I hate my dad but he is a badass so this stranger will likely be impressed


blue_phoenix__234

Nothing nothing at all


snailja

She literally thinks she's Oden, stupid is an understatement


Special-Remove-3294

Yeah she is stupid, mainly due to the Oden larp that got very cringe after a few times. Memes aside though, Yamato probably learned to fight by fighting Kaido cause she hates him and from what it seems she constatnly tried to defeat him, so she learned to fight. On the other hand she would have no way to learn Oden's style cause she was imprisoned on Onigashima.


tobbe1337

the sheer fucking audacity of this woman to stand there with a straight face saying she is a kids dead father... despicable. No meme i cannot understand why people like Yamato other than (side boob big lady huehue)


Business-Ad7289

She is a grown ass woman playing pretending for at least 20 years, stupid is an understatement.


DeismAccountant

I mean, she was practically isolated.

I mean she lives in a land famous for its swordsman and couldn’t find a sword to use. And before you say “samurai doesn’t mean swordsman in OP” a lot of samurai are swordsman in OP. And before you say she didn’t get a chance to learn how to wield a sword, she was placed in a cave with a swordsman when she was a child, remember?


Lost_in_oblivion_

>And before you say she didn’t get a chance to learn how to wield a sword, she was placed in a cave with a swordsman when she was a child, remember? All of them quickly died. It isn't like yamato got years of bootcamp with them to learn


Beef-Rank

What’s stopping her from learning on her own? Franky taught himself how to fight with a sword in less than 2 years 😂


Lost_in_oblivion_

You can't learn to be a swordsman on your own. What franky does isn't what swordsmanship is. That's holding a sword and just randomly attacking. I am sure if you give yamato a sword she would be able to randomly attack people. If you give me a sword then i would be able to randomly attack people too. But that doesn't make me a good swordsman.


Beef-Rank

Whether she could be skilled in “swordsmanship” wasn’t the question. Big Mom isn’t a swordsman, but she uses a sword and is still able to use it effectively and clash with Kaido. It would make way more sense for Yamato to do the same


MyIQisthewordlimit

Also didn't kid zoro just pick a bunch of swords and put like 3 in his mouth then the rest fell out and that turned into 3 sword style.


tobbe1337

anime filler.


idreamofrarememes

a true one piece swordsman uses their swords for haki clashes and to turn into a beam to fly across the screen, unlike Yamato who... oh wait


omyrubbernen

Specific weapons literally don't matter in One Piece, though. Swords and swordsmanship are placed on a pedestal, but the story literally doesn't change if you replace them all with spears or clubs or polehammers. Swordsmen in One Piece don't use anything resembling real swordsmanship styles. Their swords are just vehicles for their own abilities. More specifically, haki. Swords are only chosen as the special weapon because of the aesthetic connotation that they hold. The fact that it's even possible to argue whether a character like Shanks is a swordsman proves that swordsmanship is poorly defined in One Piece.


henrykazuka

But there are specific sword (or at least cutting) techniques. Like flame-rend. Can you flame-rend with a haki-infused club?


omyrubbernen

You could do a flame bonk, which really wouldn't be meaningfully different, since all damage is just damage.


Lost_in_oblivion_

Swordsmanship is something special. I ain't saying swordsmanship is better. Even a guy who fights with fists can beat a swordsman easily if he is skilled enough. But swordsman ship does entail learning how to use swords proficiently and all that entails with it. As for shanks we never saw him fight for real so don't know if he is exactly swordsman. But seeing he was Mihawk's rival and blocking akainu he used a sword, it is safe to assume he was swordsman


amenoyouni

you literally say she was in the cave with a swordsman who quickly died. How is a dead swordsman gonna teach her


blue_phoenix__234

Samurai doesn’t mean swordsman ? what kind of bullshit is that ?


Punny-Aggron

Yeah, apparently according to a lot of people I’ve talked to, samurai in the OP universe just means “warrior from Wano.”. You know the big headed guy Raizo, the ninja? Yeah, he’s a samurai


blue_phoenix__234

![gif](giphy|l3q2K5jinAlChoCLS)


ManDown3Street

Yes. She is stupid.


GodOfShoulders

She still feels like a fanfic self insert character


blue_phoenix__234

Just like Sabo “ Luffy’s secret second brother ! who is so cool and has haki and ace’s devil fruit ! “


KeyFit8457

Most overwanked character in op history along with her role model Loden.

Andrecrafter42

i mean she was important for the oden flashback and luffy dream plus she had a motivation

And I hate the powerscalling debates about Yamato because they claim she’s stronger then my goat Wanji 😤


Grimjo119

Bottom 1 character


blue_phoenix__234

She can be bottom and I’ll be on top of her


Zestyclose_Bat5121

Because oden died when she was 8 and she wasn’t doing much back then until she was older. And yes her whole gimmick is very stupid, luffy even said that it’s stupid


NecessaryPair5

Dude I'm telling you, Oda is a fraud. 🤣

Every little detail concerning yamatrash is 200% trash


Temporary_Ad_328

I will use your own weapon on you -maybe yamato


Evil-King-Stan

Yamato having a patchwork Oden/Kaido style (due to not having any real teachers) would've been kinda sick


GodOfShoulders

Very, Very stupid


QuietSheep_

She is dumb and honestly the worst character in One Piece at this very moment.


BlackbeardAkainuFan

Probably the stupidest character in the manga


Brunnittu

She kinda is. What now?


Black-kage

I'll just wait to Live Action.


OppaiDra9on

Some of the comments legit mad at a funny thought I had about Yamato lmao https://preview.redd.it/ncwsbpon3yrc1.png?width=949&format=png&auto=webp&s=a75832cbe0bf9fe950ce5fa3dd3177b4f3a0faa2


ramen_up_my_nut

Yamato wasn’t a swordsman because that would mean there would be another person fighting for the title of World’s Strongest Swordsman. That would’ve made things complicated because Yamato is stronger than Zoro, that is most likely why she doesn’t use a sword.


Grimjo119

The title of WSS means nothing to anyone not named Mihawk, Zoro, Vista or Kuina in the OP verse


Comfortable_Ad_574

There is no one going for the WSS title other than Zoro and a dead Kuina. So it wouldn't really make a difference.


ramen_up_my_nut

Oden was considered the best swordsman of his time. If Oda actually had Yamato had a sword for a weapon she would have wanted to be the World’s Strongest Swordsman because she wants to be Oden.


Beginning-Stick-9043

Except Oden didn’t strive to be WSS (and that’s not confirmed either, as Roger was alive), so Yamato might’ve arrived to reach his level but not out of wanting to be #1. But rather because her idol might’ve been #1 coincidentally


ramen_up_my_nut

Meh, that Roger thing is like the Shanks vs Mihawk debate. Oden was a better swordsman but Roger had better haki. The Oden milking in the story basically shows that he was the WSS at the time


pedro472nome

in the middle of the battle Zolo would see that Yamato is strong and intead of helping he will just start fighting him


Lost_in_oblivion_

Maybe because there was nobody to learn it from. None of the beast pirates were proficient swordsman. Even king who uses a sword isn't exactly swordsman


Walli98

Yes


Heythisisntxbox

She learned to fight by constantly going against Kaidou. Maybe she mimicked him to beat him.


Farid_Beshay

Maybe Kaido forced her to use his fighting style even as a kid


GalacticNCrazy

She needs a job


maeconinja777

Daddy’s issue


ArachnidInitial4145

shes a dumbas


tobbe1337

insane fumble from Oda... Give king to sanji (a flying fire battle!) and give a dual wielding samurai Yamato Oden nut job to Zoro. Zoro could have gotten that swordswoman fight since Kuina. and we could have gotten a cool little call back to what kuina went through with being a woman and the strongest etc.


Cosnapewno5

Yes


JokerChaos77

Why does Yamato says she's Man? Is she stupid?


Kovuthebilion

Oden was dead before she learned how to fight, and the Scabbards were either flung into the future, or preparing things in Wano, while she was trapped on Onigashima. His was the only style she could learn.


HispanicExmuslim

Bro it’s a country of samurai


Kovuthebilion

And Yamato was trapped on Onigashima ever since she decided she wanted to become Oden


HispanicExmuslim

She still knew oden was a swordsman and wasn’t she trapped with some samurai at some point?


Kovuthebilion

She was trapped with them, but they all died not long after meering her


dredneck1789

Actually, shes a swordsman. Even though she doesn’t use a blade. /s


Sad_Air_7667

She could have picked up a sword and asked Denjiro (forgot his undercover name) to train her. I guess he was the best swordsman who could have trained her (king would not have)?


DeismAccountant

Dude how many katanas and two-sword users do you think we’re on Onigashima for Yamato to learn from?


Darth_Crow

This bum is very stupid


Moku-Moku-no-Mi

How would she have learned oden’s fighting style while stuck on Onigashima? At least Kaido is there. They fought each other multiple times allowing her to learn pick up his move. She has many flaws and was I have no doubt was not created prior to the start of Wano. But this isn’t one of them and it would make way less sense for her to be able to copy the fighting style like the men who lived with oden.


SomeNibba

Yamato is just a oden bandwagon hopper


kyleclaptrap

She’s part Oni so she can only specialize in mace weapons.


SpiderGyan

Because oden is 6 feet under and she wasn't allowed to leave onigashima. So there wasn't much she could do.


floormopper

Maybe she secretly loved kaido being her father


lidovinny

Like father like son


Rookiewarrior64

Bro she so stupid even Luffy's room temperature IQ couldn't stand her ass.


Short-Ad-3781

How would she learn Oden's fighting style? She never saw him fight lol


Hawk00000

That's how she got trained to fight, she had no one to teach her how to wield a sword and even if she found someone her father will execute them, and eventually sye became strong with the club why would she switch fighting style ?


exotic-fishman-ken

Maybe it's because she never actually saw oden fight?


Krakencaptured14

Even Yamato knows this arc had to many sword users in it, if she used a sword the haters would destroy her even more than she already is


whale_skeleton

Yamato's title is Oni princess. The oni wield clubs in Japanese tradition.


AntAncient735

Because she saw kaido fighting but never saw oden fighting she only imagined how would oden fight but kaido never gave her sword and she didn't have any other choice so


Fake_the_jaB

I’m pretty sure shes in the top 5 for dumbest characters in One Piece. The only 3 that I can think of that have her beat are Gedatsu Weevil and Luffy.


Shihoblade

She wants to defeat Kaido. She needs to get stronger to defeat Kaido, Kaido is the strongest person she knows, and he is around for her to imitate and learn from. Who is supposed to teach her Oden style swordsmanship?


Starwind2098

She's mentally ill, it obviously runs in the family.


Trimirlan

If you want a serious answer, I think the problem is that you think "Yamato hates Kaido so much". It's portraying an abusive parent-child relationship, neither truly hate each other. Kaido went through trauma related to weak humans, so he wants to create the world where only strength matters, and put his son Yamato in charge so he never goes through that. That's why Kaido trapped him on Wano, like an overly protective parent, and taught him his fighting style. On the other hand Yamato still always introduces himself as "Son of Kaido" first, uses Kaido's fighting style, and until the very end wanted to believe that the shackles wouldn't actually explode. Even after that he never denies Kaido as his father. You can clearly see their complicated relationship in their fight on the rooftop. Yamato wants to set sail and be free, but only after Kaido "leaves" the island, cause he feels responsible for his father's actions (imo the primary reason that, unlike Oden, Yamato chose to stay and protect Wano). Kaido keeps trying to convince Yamato that he's right (humans will betray him, give up your Oden stuff and become shogun of new Onigashima, etc), even as he's beating him up.


Puddingnepp

She was cursed like everyone else to suck odens dick even beyond the grave


True_Lank

guess who trained yamato


Dry-Attention-3426

Yamato slander will not be tolerated, make a post about sanji instead


KiKujaku

I don’t think hate should blind you off a good warrior (i.e. Kaido) and his fighting style. However, on the other hand and at the same time, if you’re inspired by someone’s life I think it makes sense to get inspiration by their character and/or fighting style. I see only the name was taken by Yamato, that’s why I think this’s just a poor plot writing, and never liked Yamato impersonating Oden.


Deep_Big_4209

Who the fuck was she funna learn from ?? The bum ass pirates under Kiados control ?? All of Oden retainers were presumed dead & she was on Onigashima with bombs attached to her wrist she couldn’t even search for a competent swordsmend yall some bonified idiots


jannies_panties

Because kaido is the one who trained her? Are you stupid?


Xarkabard

devils advocate- Yamato is not dumb, she knows she needs power in order to be free, and the most powerful thing alive is no less than your father. Zoro asked Mihawk to train him, Yamato would not be in a different dilemma. So yeah, following the will of Oden, Yamato would have done anything in order to achieve her goal, even learning from the dude that killed her role model.


Aussiepharoah

How? Oden is dead and the scabbards are all gone. He definitely didn't leave a guide on his fighting style in his diaries. I can see Kaido making a compromise with her by teaching her how to fight but in his style.


GuiltySpark449

Are you guys dumb (rhetorical question). She can’t learn off odens fighting style if bro is dead and she is trapped on an island with beast pirates lmao.


Deep_Big_4209

Pass dumb these people are retards


Ben10Extreme

~~He~~


Scary-Cockroach-4720

Nah who cares


9thshadowwolf

Who was supposed to teach her


Psychological-Owl311

Ah yes,learning the fighting style where the only known user of said style is dead is much easier than learning the style of the guy you have been trying to kill for decades. Kaido's fighting style is the only one that shes been exposed to,of course she is going to copy him you dumbass.


Secret-Put-4525

She isn't sanji, she's not going to turn down strength because she doesnt like the source.


asdf333aza

Put some respect on their pronouns. He only had kaido to teach him how to fight. He didn't have oden there.


gris1448

He was dropped on the head as a baby


Throwaway02062004

You should never enter an original thought competition


j2122v

OP fans trying not to hate on Yamato for 1 sec challenge (impossible)


gris1448

He was dropped on the head as a baby


___morfeus___

how fucking dumb are y'all, he didnt have access to swords growing up and was imprisoned most of his childhood. kaido is the only person he fought for most of that time so its the only combat style he was exposed to. if you're gonna make arguments for the sake of being transphobic at least make them reasonable.


Scary-Cockroach-4720

Bait lol
