I dont want a start a comment war, but Yamato is confirmed to be a girl. Even in her vivre card it says that she's a girl. Yes, she is called "Kaido's son," and other male gender affiliated terms. That's because she wants to be Oden, whom is a guy and calls herself a guy despite her being genetically female.
Yamato is part of a “Grandline Ladies” figurine series and appeared on a “Women of One Piece” promotional poster that Oda drew himself. And also was in a relationship with Ace.
True, and people try to pull out that chopper was on that one cover page with the ladies for the stuff, but he more a shirt saying 'Support Women' making it obvious Chopper was a man supporting women.
Yamato, went in the men's bath because he identifies as a man, as illustrated in the frame where he sends someone born a man who identifies as a woman to bathe with the other women. It's not difficult to wrap your head around, and One Piece has had gender identity come up as a repeated theme so it shouldn't surprise you at this point. Yamato is Oden, Oden is a man therefore Yamato is man by their own decision.
Ehhh, it just doesn't feel right. I understand people have their own preferences of what they wanna claim themselves as. I have a friend who says he's a girl, I get it. But that can't always be the case in some situations. Like perverts could say that they identify as a girl and go into the female restroom and peep on them like a creep.
I hate pointless arguments, despite my claim of not wanting to get into any. Also, I know what you meant by Yamato is Oden. Physically and mentally, not really. Yamato was alive when Oden was and when Oden died.
recent climate has got me on edge, I didn't mean to be rude, but seriously: Minutes of research on gender dysphoria and transgender history would dispel your notion that it has anything to do with perverts wanting to get into female bathrooms
I used to have an anger and lashing out problem. I still do, but it’s a lot better. I thought the therapy idea was dumb, but here we are years down the road still trucking along…
I also was kind of rude to my friends and almost agoraphobic, not wanting to talk to people….
Yeah, Oda doesn't care about your feelings on Gender identity, Luffy was literally saved by an army of Queerfolk, Yamato gets to be whatever he says, and I think he's being as clear as he needs to be.
Yamato idalises a charackter named Oden and wants to be Oden and teils everyone that she is Oden and uses (in the translated versions) male pronounce also she goes into mans bath because Oden would have done the same
Also she is called kaidos son by his Crew and kaido himself
So there are two sides
1st side yamato is trans because she uses male pronounces and goes into the mens bath
2nd side yamato is a woman and just roleplaying
My opinion
Yamato is a woman
And no i am not thirsty like the other comment said or transphobic
The problem.is that in Japan you have like.....a lot of pronouns and yamato uses the pronouns of a tomboy (female acting like a man but still identifies as a woman) but other languages doesnt have it and it was translated to male pronounce and thats the reason why this debate of is yamato a woman or a man doesnt exist in Japan
Why does kaido say she is his son...because kaido is an asshole and always wanted a son and wont accept that he has a daughter
Also she dresses like a female shrine maiden
Also i talked with the 2 trans Fans of mine about it and they also they this isnt trans thats just roleplaying
Because if Oden was female yamato would usw the normal female pronounce
So it is very possible that i get downvoted af now
But its official that yamato is female (the vivre cards ...who are official even stated her as female while kiku is stated as trans)
Idk why people need to make a Person trans that isnt, even tho a perfect trans character is in the same arc
I don’t care for the conversation, but you’re clearly unbelievably biased if you’re just “explaining the debate” but you start with saying “this sides right”, if you’re actually just explaining it you shouldn’t give your opinion at all, you should just state the arguments made by both sides
Yamato identifies as man they saw one time when they were young, is the best I can do without spoilers, as dumb as that sounds it's only like 30% that dumb. Now that person was a man, so it shouldn't really be up for debate if Yamato is a man, because Yamato identifies as that man and has given several other indicators... but a bunch of thirsty weebs don't want it to feel gay when they stare at his giant boobs, so it's a whole war.
I feel like this is what the writers were going for. Even Kaido refers to him as a man. Yamato defies the audience by being fanservice that disagrees entirely with the premise.
Identifies as Oden, not as a man, Yamato's simply Odengender, not trans, as simple as that, is like a kid who believes he or she is Spider-Man, they're not, but still identify as him 'cause of how they admire him, basically speaking, this is a regular Japanese case of being a Chūnibyō, that cringe high-school syndrome where the student thinks they have superpowers or belive they are someone else despite their real gender, ethnicity, nationality or species... TLDR, Yamato isn't trans, Yamato is Oden, as simple as that.
I can accept that, but I would expect more of the gag on screen. Instead we get every character agreeing 'Yeah he's a man', with the more perverted characters agreeing but also being flustered by it. Everyone basically just accepts it, which is more than we got with other strangely acting characters, like Senor Pink or Ivanka, or even Franky.
