@Palochka: I'm okay with an occasional Bink's Sake, but I'd really like them to have Brook play something else during downtime/filler, OR if they insist on using BS, make a version thats not just a single violin playing for background music. Chopin's etude in e would have been great for the flashbacks, or even for the entire fight (they would've had to speed the whole ep up though) playing soft and light in the background while Luffy is helpless to save everyone.

RE: Next Crew Member Speculation (Ver 3.0)
But jejune, how does Nico Robin fit then? When she joined she had a MUCH higher bounty than Luffy, the 2nd highest known to the OP world at the time. While I admit a bounty growth is unlikely to occur for a long while, I don't see "not an underdog" as a reason to disqualify a candidate. That said, I'd much rather have Inazuma join the crew, with some reason that explains why (s)he's in the revolutionary movement.

RE: The inevitable - Anime reaches Manga discussion
The anime really needs to put some serious distance between itself and the manga. I rewatched Arabasta recently, and when I saw Water 7 afterwards, it just felt so painfully slow. Having a 2chap:ep ratio again sounds fantastic, but would probably require the usage of ALL the cover stories, each strawhat getting a significant side-story on their respective islands, and perhaps a standalone filler arc after Fishman Island. Ever since Skypiea ended, the pacing has just been terrible ithis frantic attempt to prevent collision with the manga. While recent 1:1 eps have been decent due to Oda putting more and more side-material in per chapter, I don't think he can keep that up forever. What then :P

RE: Powerup Predictions and Discussion
As mentioned, Asura was built up to with the "demonic aura" Zoro kept being seen with up till then. I think they could have built it up a LITTLE more (at least a chapter with a head slightly showing first), but I say fair game.
Sanji's was really out of nowhere. The way he tied it to cooking made it sound like he knew how to use Diable Jambe all along, but decided not to.

RE: Powerup Predictions and Discussion
Luffy: Has been said to train, mentioned in his conversation with Bleuno about how he was worried after the Aokiji fight. Also when he fought Kuma the others all knew about G2, 3 and their effects on his body, hence "is it okay for you to use both gears like that?". Before everyone started blaming his strength on HAKIGEARS (which I detest to the highest degree) there have only been a handful of times hwere Luffy's growth is obvious. Kreig (the first serious beatdown), Bellamy (the 1-hit KO), Foxy (getting back up despite being beaten to death), then shortly before Bleuno (taking down 500 soldiers on his lonesome). All other fights used some weakness (vs Logias, fire for Mr. 3), or were just Luffy being Luffy.
Zoro: Constant training. Only one that consistently grows every arc. If there is a shonen cliche in One Piece, Zoro is it. But cmon, he's ALWAYS training.
Nami: I'm sure she experiments with the perfect Climatact plenty during the ship's downtime.
Usopp: Besides the SK persona, Usopps greatest growth has been in Kabuto, being able to shoot out all sorts of nonsense now. Also his range is battle-worthy now, compared to Arabasta.
Sanji: Only one with ambiguous growth. His attacks just get stronger out of nowhere, really. Major growth from Baratie, to Arabasta (antimanner kickcourse), to Enies Lobby.
Chopper: Monster point was developed pre-crew, as were all his forms/attacks.
Robin: Same as Chopper. Has actually gotten weaker since her joining. Went from taking down the leader of an army with his own weapons, then dropping him off a cliff (Skypiea), to only taking grunts down, and the occasional teamup. She could have taken out the slave-driver of Tequila Wolf.
Franky: Not enough time has really passed to ask of major growth.
Brooke: Same.
