Fearlessly protects her loved ones

Yamato, in contrast to her brutal father, is a good and compassionate person. She draws a lot of inspiration from Kozuki Oden, who gave his life 20 years ago to save his fellow soldiers. Yamato is more than willing to give her life for the things and people she cares about, as 'One Piece' has repeatedly shown. Yamato never deserts a good friend, whether it's protecting Momonosuke from the Armored Division or taking down Ulti to defend Luffy. The Oni Princess embraced Oden's behavior from many years prior. In the Onigashima Raid, she has already helped rescue a number of lives. Fans of 'One Piece' fully adore her eagerness to take the lead. She wouldn't flee as Usopp or Nami would. Yamato never backs down from a challenging situation.

Her adventurous spirit leaves you in awe

Outside of Wano Country, there lies a stunning world. Yamato doesn't want to be imprisoned inside one location for an eternity. Fans of 'One Piece' are aware of her free nature and desire for adventure. Yamato wishes to join the Straw Hat Pirates for the same reason Oden did when he first joined the Whitebeard Pirates many years ago. She has a lot of room to develop in these circumstances. One can only hope to see her grow in the future keeping her adventurous self in mind.

A strong female character

Shonen manga is primarily male-dominated, hence it rarely has strong female characters. This particular trap is one that 'One Piece' also falls into. Characters like Nami and Nico Robin hardly ever have their own dedicated battles. Yamato recently defied convention with her performances in the Onigashima Raid. She confronted her father Kaido and managed to repel the monster for some time. She wasn't at his level, but she could still control herself. In the 'One Piece' series, Yamato is clearly a strong female character. Using Raimei Hakke, she has the ability to destroy her enemies in one blow. Yamato is an extremely skilled user of all forms of Haki. She even consumed a mythical fruit called a Zoan. Her combative prowess is a real breath of fresh air.

Body design that stands out

Popularity is largely influenced by personality, but great character designs also help. Many 'One Piece' admirers adore Yamato's appearance. The Oni Princess towers over average humans in height. She evokes the appearance of Japanese mythical demons with her enormous club and scarlet horns. Like her father, she personifies the entire idea of authority. Yamato also has extremely peculiar hair that transitions from white to aqua-blue. er purple nio-dasuki and red hakama, it creates a pleasing contrast. 

Yamato and Ace's friendship

When Ace arrived in Wano County, Yamato made friends with the pirate right away. In the 'One Piece' series, they were equal opponents. More importantly, viewers came to see Yamato in a more positive light. She generally had a horrible existence under Kaido's authority. Yamato would like to hear Ace's tales all night. Regrettably, she was never able to go sailing with him. Their bond is the ideal fusion of endearing, playful, and heartbreaking.
