Personally I don't care if Sabo is dead or alive, but after declaring Sabo's death in the data book if Oda decides to bring him back alive in to the story then he must have a damn good reason for it! I think Luffy would be extremely happy to find out about his childhood friend/brother being alive who he thought was dead! We all know that Strawhats have had very sad past involving their friends and family, so it would be nice to see some joy and happiness for once. For some of us hope keeps us float but that doesn't mean we are afraid of death, we all know that no one lives forever and accept the deaths of our beloved OP characters!

Perhaps the reason why we are more obsessed with Sabo it's because we got to know him through Luffy's childhood story after Ace's death and that makes it more effective and hard to forget him. Plus, Sabo had more screen time than Tom and Kuina. Oda isn't teasing us about Tom and Kuina as much as he does with Sabo. First Oda showed Dragon saving someone in flashback within a flashback, then the cover story of chapter 668, and the last one I read something about SBS question regarding the three cups and sake in volume 68 where Oda replied "I leave it to your imagination". You call it teasing but some might think it's hinting, the readers are going to keep speculating about Sabo being alive until the end!

P.S. I would love to see your reaction more than Luffy's if Oda brings back Sabo alive! :D
