Yosaku Johnny Clean Cameo Exit
Status: confirmed · Technique: pattern-install · non-recruitment-exit · recruitment-pattern-sister-grammar
The seed-and-payoff
Why this matters
Pre-loads every later temporary-ally-cameo-exit beat — the recruitment-pattern has a sister-grammar for characters who help-and-leave without joining:
- Coby (Ch. 7 farewell) — already in the cameo-exit lineage but with a future-recurring-Marine-rival coding
- Vivi (Alabasta exit) — the next major clean-cameo-exit in the series
- Bon Clay (Impel Down exit)
- Hatchan, Camie, Pappag (post-Sabaody)
- All post-Sabaody recurring-allies
The pattern is recruit-not-required-for-friendship — Luffy can be friends with characters who do not join his crew. The Straw Hats’ canon-roster is selective, not absorptive.
