You have good timing, as usual, as I plan to put up the finale of the Baratie Arc today. XD
Those are interesting thoughts about Gin compared to Coby. They very much do have that in common of Luffy inspiring them to push forward despite the odds. But I think Gin is sort of in a much more advanced state than Coby is at this same time because Gin knows what it is what he wants.
I don't know if he'll stick with Krieg or not. I always took the interpretation that he shared Krieg's dream-- like, in terms of how the SH share Luffy's dream. Not they themselves becoming Pirate King, but supporting Luffy to his goal. Of course we won't know until when and if it comes to it-- but I wonder if Gin really is going to move away from Krieg myself. Because he still does care about the guy.
As for his clothes, yeah that's interesting, too. XD I don't really have any thoughts about the symbolism other than what I said, tho remember he said a lot of his loyalty was due to using Krieg as a shield--so it could have been something about himself. Also Gin has a thing for doubles. His earrings are double balls. He has double tonfa as well. I don't know if it's significant or not but we'll see if we see.
And yes, yess you are spot on about Zeff. T_T I love him so much. I never realized just what an amazing guy he was until I decided to analyze the shit out of everything. (and yes. Yes you should)
