Gin is my favorite East Blue character, so for me it is a combination of pure fan-driven desire to see him return and his story potential.

I know some might say he doesn't have much potential, but he beat Krieg in one punch. And it took Luffy a long time to beat him. Granted Luffy had punch through armor, but Gin was weakened like crazy from the poison gas.

I've written in a few other blogs in the comments about how I think he should return, but those were defeated when we learned who all was in the Corrida fights. He could still come back any day now though, just as long as he's strong enough.
