Powers & Abilities Flashback Hints at 2 PUs?

#1
Agenda and toxicity aside, this flashback seems weird that it does not directly relate to the problem at hand. I think all fans expected more AP development for Sanji with unlocking ACoC. And idk how many times has Killingham said that Sanji doesnt have CoC or wont have it, which sort of confirms that Sanji will show it as a finisher in this fight.
I thought the defense side was already covered with the exo durability and regen and Sanji having very high speed. So the flashback conclusion being that Sanji should love himself, value his body more, dodge attacks that he can dodge is not the powerup that we expect or felt was required.
And the flashback is not something that revealed something new to Sanji, it was something he had already known and he understood why Ivankov was his nightmare because Iva knew Sanjis weakness.
And the talk with Iva and Sanjis internal thought is about increasing his defense and becoming stronger this way.
So is Sanji going to unlock both ACoO (FS or some variant) and ACoC in this fight? Or will it be ACoC and some other dodging ability (not FS based) that Sanji will unlock?

I think Sanji will have Three Power-Ups,
Embracing himself leads to him unlocking his Alter Ego Form, just like Usopp's Bravery turned him into Sogeking, Robin unleashing her Dark Side turned her into Devil (Demonio Fleur), Chopper accepting himself as a Monster (Monster Point), Zoro letting his Willpower take form (Asura), Luffy awakening his DF leading him to become the Laughing Nika ... etc

Last Chapter confirmed that Sanji is finally eligible to unlock his own True Form (Brook, Jinbe & others are for another time),
And on top of that, as you mentioned, He might unlock Future Sight cuz He finally accepted that He should focus on dodging more than tanking, and He does need Adv. CoC for this stage of Story, and Killingham mocking him about it confirms it.

Yeah i also noticed it, this should be connected to something like future sight or something better. Sanji didn't really solved the uncertainty Gaban mentioned.

Oda doesn't really like drawing future sight at this point, it adds even more things to draw to his already cluttered mess of pages.
I think the power up will just be CoC. As I've already told, the "self worth" thing is a bit stretched, Oda needed a mental nerf to explain why Sanji had not leaked coc even if he had the potential for it, focusing too much into it is eh...
It will be a state but not show things. Sanji will still take hits going forward (maybe not against Killingham) still do stupid gags, but Oda stated he now has self worth and can use coc and so forth
