I couldn’t agree with you more in terms of being glad she didn’t continue on with the crew. However, I don’t think she’s poorly developed, I actually enjoyed the Alabasta arc; I personally can’t think of any reason why Vivi would continue on, she achieved her goal with the help of the Straw Hats

I'd actually do something about it instead of crying about every single moment that happens, how come she didn't cry while she was in Baroque

Would you really, now?

Anyways, crying's besides the point. She and the SHs got sh#t done, and won back Alabasta. As said earlier, I don't LOVE Vivi as a character, but I fail to see why an excuse such as 'she's too emotional' is a reason to not like her?

I respect your opinion, but really; how many times have you seen other titular characters cry? Especially Luffy himself (whether by gag or in all seriousness). Meh.... that's all I gotta say on that. Hope you understand where I'm coming from, though...

She’s gonna be involved in the story again later on the wg kinda views her family as a threat

I couldn’t agree more. I truly don’t feel like she was apart of the crew either, and if she was she would be the weakest link in my opinion (weaker than alabasta chopper, usopp and nami). Personally i feel like she brought nothing but trouble in a bad way. and not to mention she’s a crybaby.

Being emotional when it's needed is ok but she cries about everything.

she is part of the crew and I do like her but I agree she didn't bring anything to the crew. Everyone has a role and hers just seemed to be a nicer nami

Count me in

She's a representation of a rich, nice, beautiful, young, mature girl. She's portrayed to be almost perfect (no combat abilities considered). It's normal many people love her, I mean, she's probably the perfect wife. But with too many lovers always comes haters, perfectly normal. See, if Vivi wasn't this popular, would this thread have ever existed?

Uhmm...ok
