Do we really think we're going to get any new core Straw Hat members at this point in the story? I feel like, since we've gotten the Straw Hat fleet, the whole system of alliance with Luffy has changed. You don't have to be on the Sunny to be a Straw Hat.
Since we're winding down into the endgame of OP, Vegapunk should show up at some point. But I'm skeptical that he'd emerge and confront anyone directly - what would be the purpose of that? He hides behind his creations. But, I do see us getting a between-arc scene of Vegapunk within the WG.
While I don't know that I agree on the details, I do think OP is moving toward a sun/moon motif in the endgame. And drawing parallels between Dragon and Imu is wise.
When constructing these theories, you've really got to ask yourself: what would be the point of this? If this theory were true, would it elevate the story? Raise the stakes? Enrichen the world?
For me, the answers here are all no.
I'm partially with this. It would've been nice if the group fight went on a bit longer, then the Nika awakening came at the most dire part of the fight, and Luffy got to save his friends from the brink.
I'm with Oda's canon explanation for Sanji's fire - mostly because it matches Sanji's theme. His dad embodied cold science and Sanji separated himself by being a man of passion and emotion. If the fire were an intentional genetic mutation, it would shit on that whole part of Sanji's character.
We don't necessarily know that it's not awakened, do we? Maybe the awakened from allows for his resurrection, and it just gave him fire and flight previously.
