i think it would be delightful to see a classic body swap where someone swaps with Luffy and they struggle HORRIBLY with his devil fruit powers. Because it really took him YEARS to master, its not a parameica that can be turned on and off. it was always active. The idea they're constantly wobbling and stumbling because there's just this elasticity to the body that to them feels so unnatural. every time I think about Luffy's entire body being made of rubber i think of how weird as a sensory experience that must be. to touch something even a crumb and you feel your skin bend AROUND it ,for there to be a moment of teeth bending before they bite down... ew.
Then the reverse could also be played with. Luffy having a normal body. Something he hasn't had since he was seven. Him stomping around and being covered all over with bruises and choking on food because he's so use to his body bouncing and bending about. I wonder how good of a swimmer he is, he does manage to keep his head up for a second or two before drowning after all. idk i think exploring the devil fruit even more in this scenario would just be really funny.

The Otosaka family... I'm sorry, it just sucks. The adults, anyway. Like, mom and dad get a divorce, and I don't know how Japanese law works, but apparently mom got the kids and dad, for some reason, never gets to see them (or doesn't want to). Mom, apparently, doesn't give a fig about them, so she just shoves them off an uncle, who in turn just gives them money and lets them fend for themselves.
And we never see any of these three people. This all must have happened long ago because we don't see them during any of Shun's time leaps. But worst of all, unless that was Mrs. Otosaka patting Yuu's shoulder and saying "Time heals all wounds," we never even see them at Ayumi's funeral! The heck kind of bull crap is that?!
Is it any wonder Yuu turned out like he did? He pretty much got ditched by his entire family, except for Ayumi, who is the one person he still has left to care about. He's repressed everything about his own family, probably in an attempt to keep from feeling his own pain. It went so far that the only way he can tell when he cares about someone is when he loses them. He doesn't even know himself how much he cares until they're gone.
And as for his lying and cheating to get ahead in life... yeah, that kinda comes with the territory, of being (as far as he knows) the oldest son, left alone to take care of his little sister. He was just a kid, himself. His main priority should have been to figure out who he was and what he wanted in life, and he didn't get that chance.
TBH, I was a little surprised that Yuu wasn't totally pissed at Shun for leaving them, as well. But by the time they met, Yuu understood everything that was going on, and had recovered his memories. So maybe he understood why Shun had to leave. Because the only way Shun, as the oldest brother (and a very responsible and protective one, I might add) could protect his family was to protect all the power-users. In addition, Shun was apologizing for having to leave them right from the moment they met, so it was kind of hard to be mad at him.
And anyway, how can you hate a guy that hugs you to calm you down when you're screaming about what a pathetic loser you are?
And then proceeds to blame himself when it's your (fully justified) self-hatred that nearly caused the building to cave in on the both of you?
