Things That You Would Like to See in the Manga.

I'm not saying the Strawhats should kill people, just that death remain permanent and not simply be 'oh character X was hit in the heart and we all cried but he got better'. The whole series set the tone from the very start with character death when Shanks' crew member offed one of the bandits for threatening them with a gun. Characters have died in most every character backstory, but it's usually all history.

I know it's still a kids series and death is a difficult subject to tackle, but it's also a big part of feeling the unpredictable nature of the world.

This topic has been brought up and talked about a lot. Many of us are/were disappointed to see Pell survive after all that build up; but if it doesn't affect the story, I say we should give it a free pass. It's not like there wasn't any advantage in the long run. I do believe Oda's trend of not killing off characters gave Ace's death that much more impact. It was unexpected for most us and at the same time, it was crucial for plot progression. Besides, random fodder seem to die all the time even if its not explicitly alluded to. IMO, the reason for this is the same as the reason why characters dying in the flashback isn't a problem; its that the fandom(especially the younger readers at whom the series is aimed at, like you pointed out) hasn't had time to 'connect' with the characters. When they see Impel Down prisoner #451 die of Magellan's poison, they couldn't care less. But replace this with Bon-chan or even Crab-chan and its a different cake altogether. That's just my take on this.

Would I like to see a greater amount of ambiguity as to the fates of main/supporting characters? Yes.
Do I think its absolutely essential? Not really. But meh, everyone has their own opinion on this issue.

You're saying Robin can't fight? Blasphemy.

I never mentioned Robin at all, she can fight but I wish they would show her fight more often. I always believed one of the amazon ladies should have joined since they are warrior based and the crew could have used some of that, or a fishwoman that knew fishmen karate ( I always wanted that lol)

[choperman]

i want to see baron tamago vs sanji, a good short battle or just them crossing legs (lol that doesn't sound right.... and now neither does crossing swords) and have sanji mention something about how he doesn't let any tea spill

There needs to be some female character who could give Sanji and Zoro a run for their money. This, someone shouldn't like Nami, nor does she have to be butt ugly, as you said it can be done, look at Amazon Lily.

If there's one Strawhat I'd like to see get hit by Ivankov's gender-changing hormones, it's Zoro.

Simply because a) it could tie back to Kuina, and b) it could help Sanji with his refusal to hit any woman ever. So two birds with one stone. Yay!

[Don Quichotte De Flamingo]

Or Sanji falls in love with female Zoro...

..
creepy

The thought amuses me.

Sanji falls in love for everything that has boobs and is not butt ugly or older than dirt, so if Zoro got changed into female (and we saw, that big scary guys turn into delicate, nimble girls, so just imagine how handsome young man like Zoro), so sure Sanji would fall for *her*

That would be one big source of awkwardness if Zoro was turned back into a man.

The Okamas were enough trauma for Sanji.

Well, that could probably make a hilarious "What If?" spin-off, lol..

I wonder what happened to Nami's dream, Is she still drawing the map of every island they have gone too?

[Don Quichotte De Flamingo]

Nahh, i guess Oda just dropped that shit and centered Namis character more around wearing close to nothing.

[Vash The Stampede]

A post-time skip revamped and super-powerful Bon Kurei. Man, I miss him

[Juvar]

What I want to see most is established characters reappearing.
As the guy above said, Bon Kurei would be awesome - him being dead though would be quite intense, too, but I guess he isn't.

Above all though I want to see Enel return! Then Arlong and Gin.

[Kizuchan]

Nahh, i guess Oda just dropped that shit and centered Namis character more around wearing close to nothing.

In that case, I guess Oda dropped Chopper's dream for the sake of him being considerably cuter.

I can't wait until Crocodile enters the fray again.
