Ace originally came to Wano to kill Kaido, but he ended up bonding with Yamato over their mutual hatred of their fathers. When Yamato first meets Luffy, he says the rubber pirate reminds him of Ace, another fan-favorite character. RELATED: One Piece's Brook: How Oda Gave the Undead Straw Hat So Much Heart He's an honorable warrior with a strong sense of justice, as we saw by how far he went to protect Momonosuke and Shinobu from Sasaki. After Yamato was moved by the hero of Wano, Kozuki Oden, during his execution, he decided to carry on the samurai's will and legacy by one day freeing Wano from Kaido's control. Yamato is also defined by his strong motivation to take down his father and has a history that goes further than the story arc he's currently taking part in. This type of considerate trans representation, wherein the character's identity is made perfectly clear by themselves and is never questioned or subjected to mockery could be what LGBTQ+ fans of One Piece, especially, might find so appealing about Yamato. Enemy and ally alike refer to Yamato with he/him pronouns, or call him "young master."
Since being introduced during Onigashima, Yamato's gender identity has not been questioned or ridiculed by any other character. The most obvious aspect of Yamato that stands out across the multitude of other One Piece characters is that despite being assigned female at birth, he identifies as a man.

Now that the results have been posted, the biggest surprise isn't who's among the crowning 10 positions - it's who's sitting at number 11.Īt number 11 is a character who has only been introduced into the manga just last year: the only son of the Yonko, Kaido, and the self-proclaimed "new Kozuki Oden." It's quite a shock that Yamato has been able to overtake so many longer-serving, fan-favorite characters, some of whom have been in the manga for over a decade, like Crocodile, Vivi and even Usopp.
The poll went online on January 3 and ran until February 28, and fans from all across the world could use the franchise's official site to vote for their favorite One Piece characters every day.
To commemorate the One Piecemanga's 1000th Chapter, Shueisha and Shonen Jump put out the very first global popularity poll for the series.
