One Piece Cosplay Hits Hard With Yamato

One Piece might not have made Yamato an official Straw Hat after the Wano Country arc , but one awesome cosplay is still helping to shine a spotlight on Yamato. One Piece 's Wano Country arc signaled the beginning of some major shifts for Eiichiro Oda's original manga franchise, and that was due to some of the big enemies defeated and big allies introduced. One of the key characters that fans were instantly drawn to came late in the arc as Kaido's son Yamato not only surprised fans by introducing himself as "Kozuki Oden," but was willing to help Luffy and the others to take down their father and leave Wano's shores.

Yamato made such a huge impact in such a short time that One Piece fans were immediately hoping to see them become a new member of the full time Straw Hat crew, but unfortunately that didn't turn out to be the case when the arc came to an end . Yamato decided to stay back in Wano and help Momonosuke fight off any incoming threats, but there's a good chance we'll see them in action again some time in the future. For now, Yamato has come to life through some awesome cosplay from artist mayumicosplay on Instagram. Check it out:
