Talk:Shimotsuki Yasuie

Residential
I think the assumption of him being from Kibi is based on the fact that he and Zoro were traveling in Kibi in chap 929 and saw Ebisu Town between them and the Flower Capital, but the map of Wano from 934 showed the town in the opposite direction from Kibi. I guess they could have go around the capital off panel, but either way, his home should be Kibi or FC, the article can't say both. Rhavkin (talk) 13:30, April 19, 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, that should have been changed once we learned where Ebisu Town is. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 14:32, April 19, 2019 (UTC)

Possible Strength
Isn't it possible Yasu might had some physical strength as Oden trusted him ( Yasuie himself rather than his men) to protect his family. The threat is somebody like Kaido forces and you would have to be strong to be able to stand up to them. It also said that he fought along side with the other damiyos against Kaido.Jrotc193 (talk) 04:08, February 3, 2020 (UTC)

If we have to say that he's POSSIBLY strong then it's not worth adding on his page. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 06:05, February 3, 2020 (UTC)

Yasuie, a Sonic Reference?
In the anime, Yasuie's hair is blue. His nickname is ‘the hedgehog’. His death was a full-on display of force by his competitor owning the money and patents/authority and everybody was laughing aloud at that time despite the fact it marked the end of an era. He was also a key player in the country's economy, going as far as to embezzle a part of its stock shares to fund some key assets of the country. So… is it just me or is this character some sort of echo of that pesky little punk who keeps messing with genius plans?

SMILE?
So we now know that the Vivre Card lists Toko as a SMILE eater, but not Yasuie, even though they share pages. The source for Yasuie being a SMILE victim comes from chapter 943, where it is said that the people from Ebisu ate them, but it was never shown or said that Yasuie ate one himself. Is there another source for it? StoopidGuy (talk) 16:02, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

From Canon:

"The general policy of this Wiki is to treat all databook facts as canon, unless contradicted by the manga, an SBS column, or a later databook."

Since its contradicts the manga, and since Vivre Card had several inconsistencies and correction on the official site, I think he should still be consider a failed SMILE user. Rhavkin (talk) 17:36, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

The manga did not explicitly confirm that he ate any defective SMILEs though. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 18:44, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

The reasoning behind Yasuie's smiles
So I'm seeing lots of edits regarding why Yasuie was always smiling, and to help settling what is theory and what is truth, I bring to you what exactly his Vivre Card says regarding his smiles:

"He encouraged the people who were victims to SMILE with a full-face smile. People called him 'Buddha'...!" (Plus the panel's quote, which is exactly the one under his personality on his page.)

So yeah (these now are my two cents on the topic), the Card does not call him a SMILE user, specifically pointing only to Toko being an user. And it does say that he "encouraged" (which can also mean "comforted") people with his smiles, whether they were true or forced upon him. It's interesting to notice that his beta design has him with an angry face and a "Tonoyasu mask", which has that full-face smiling, kinda implying that his smiling persona is fake (but since it's beta, it doesn't mean it's true for the final version).

Awesome, thanks for the clarification, I had hoped to learn what the Vivre Card said in full about that.

People who may be reading this discussion now - please be sure to read Artur - Library of Ohara's stuff very carefully. He can reach his own conclusions and speculations from information given that can't be fully confirmed by the official text, so please look carefully to see how he frames the stuff he writes and do not immediately take everything he says as official.
