I fear this will all turn out like how we were totally getting a Chad arc in Bleach.

It turns out Sanji lost his memory and didn't know he was also a world noble!

Maybe they want him alive because they learned about the whole Duval thing and what a cock-up that was, so they're trying to avoid having innocent Sanji look-alikes murdered by bounty hunters.

After the Soul Society arc I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep reading Bleach. I was talking to my friend about what I liked and didn't like about the series but when I mentioned that my favorite character was Chad my friend just laughed and told me to stop while I was ahead.

I think Oda will follow through. Whether or not it really all comes together in the next year is a bit more up in the air.

I can't rule it out, but Oda's been pretty good about resolving old, dangling plot threads ages after the fact. Remember how their ship seemingly got repaired by a ghost back on Skypiea? It was, what, two years before we got an explanation for that? Three?

Besides, I'm not sure we need an arc that revolves around Sanji--the backgrounds of all the Strawhats are basically a closed book at this point. I just want to see him play a pivotal role again.

I never felt the need to extend every Strawhat backstory. Sanji was a cook apprentice and trained by an S-tier Grand Line pirate. That's all we need to know.

What's next? Franky was Vegapunk's son before losing his memory and washing ashore water 7?

I mean. We could get more zoro backstory.

The rest can't really be expanded on like Sanji's. I guess we could find the origin of Nami's real parents but other than that the rest don't really have a mystery to their origin.

I made a big post earlier (in response to a big post by lowercase16) about expanding the Straw Hats' backstories: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3742700&pagenumber=8&perpage=40#post450631847

The main thing worth adding is an Oda quote providing evidence for Luffy's mother being Dadan:

Oda posted:

I think she's alive. I'm still thinking very hard about this. [Laughs] But if she does appear in the story, then she'll be a very tough-looking woman. And strict. There's no way she's a beautiful mother. She's got this typical middle-aged woman's permed hair...

Any idea if there's a new chapter tomorrow?

Also, I seriously doubt Dadan is Luffy's mom. Every bit of evidence makes her out to be some rando bandit gang leader who happened to be friends with Garp.

I'm thinking he escaped and she kidnapped the poo poo out of him.

I really wonder where Caesar's going to go, having an actually evil person hanging out with the crew for a while is kind of cool.

Probably, or maybe when he was confronted by her underlings, he agreed to come voluntarily to offer reparations (in form of sweets) in exchange for the safety of the rest of the strawhats.

This and the other post doesn't explain though why a World Government poster is calling for Sanji alive only. What connection do Big Mam or Sanji have with the WG that the latter would want him alive?

Also it'd be funny if Sanji ended up being the Coby to the New World equivalent of pre-DF Alvida.

Hell, even Nami got to briefly clash with someone in physical combat, something I'm not sure we've really seen since she got the climate baton. Sanji is acting much more like his old self too, just smoking and frowning then kicking people in the face.
