Talk:Jinbe

Jinbe a Straw Hat
I believe it is high time that Jinbe is officially a Straw Hat Pirate member, not just an ally. His declaration to Big Mom and Luffy's rejoice are supple evidence. Any disagreements, please note. 01:38, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

I mean, we already separated his page into tabs, like the rest of the ST and close ally Law. The moment he declares and Luffy accepts, it should be solid, even if he dies next chap. 01:40, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

While I do agree that he should be a Straw Hat, I don't want to jump to conclusions. No other characters were listed before an arc/major conflict concluded, and we have seen enough death flags to be concerned. I say not yet. Also, we split his page because his page passed the 100k character mark; I plan to split Doflamingo in the near future for the same reason. My call is no for now. 02:01, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

There was a small discussion here: Talk:Straw_Hat_Pirates. I'll just repost what I said there.

He's all ready to join now and intends to do so, but he did not join yet. 02:03, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

Right. Luffy hasn't said "Welcome to the crew," so adding him would still be premature. 04:24, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

I agree with DP and Kage 16:13, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

Yup. He has every intention of joining - he's left the Sun Pirates and he's formally talked to Big Mom about it - but he hasn't joined yet.

Okay, so he's just one step away from the line: waiting to hear Luffy's "welcome", right? 02:27, April 24, 2017 (UTC)

His initiation into the Straw Hats is inevitable. There's a 99.99% chance it will happen, but we still need to wait a few more chapters to make it official 18:37, April 24, 2017 (UTC)

Officially Confirmed Straw Hat?

 * I'd prefer waiting for a more official, in-universe moment to display the fact before we start listing Jimbei in the crewmate section, if that's alright.Observer Supreme 23:33, December 7, 2017 (UTC)
