Nami Tattoo-Stab Rejection
Status: partial-payoff (rejection on-page; full payoff is the tattoo-replacement at arc-climax) · Technique: self-harm-as-rejection-of-brand · tattoo-as-removable-burden
The seed/partial-payoff
Predicted full payoff
The arc-climax tattoo-replacement (~Ch. 95 per pattern projection) where Nami covers/replaces the sun-tattoo with the pinwheel-tangerine combo (Bell-mère + Genzo memorial) is the structural payoff. The chapter installs the tattoo-as-removable-burden doctrine — what was branded can be remade.
