Jesus man, leave some for the rest of us lol. I agree with the vast majority of these things. The only ones I don't quite see happening are the ones that the manga hasn't gone over yet with enough detail. There are some things that I think are either too important, or they simply just don't know enough about to feel comfortable adding that filler.

Kidd Alliance/Kaido confrontation - We know Apoo is working for Kaido, and Kidd was imprisoned, but I don't think there's enough there for them to use. They would have to simulate the entire dialogue that occured, which I don't think they know enough to do. We don't know what role Hawkins played in this, and we don't know exactly what led to Kidd being imprisoned. We can probably safely assume he objected to working for him, but I'd think they would rather use Kidd/Kaido's exact words rather than what they would assume the two of them said to each other. The anime will be upon the episode where he is shown imprisoned within the next 3 weeks or so, I don't think the manga will give us an answer by then.

Sanji vs. Yonji - I can see why you think they'd just show the face-breaking part, it would take a lot of speculation to simulate an actual fight, given that we've really only seen Niji's powers to some extent. However I think this is another case where they simply don't know enough to try. The most important thing is the kick itself. Now that we know all that we do about the Vinsmoke enhancements, it's hard to say exactly what kind of kick it would take from Sanji to be able to do that to Yonji's face. I'd assume a named technique, he shouldn't be THAT much more stronger than his brothers that a regular kick could do that, but who knows.

I wholeheartedly agree with everything else, and I hope you're right. I've been taking breaks from the anime and only catching up when they show something I really wanna see. I remember I left the anime alone during the Corrida Colosseum, then didn't pick up again until 1080 pound cannon. Then not again until Gear 4, then not again until Kaido's intro. I think this time around I'll pick it up when Kaido home-runs that guy into the ocean with his club.
