This reminds me of the Bakuman manga. There was an chapter were the protagonists were writing the next chapter for their manga and then they decide to add suggestions from fan messages of what they wanted to see in the series. When their editor readed the summary, he was like "this is crap, do it all over again". This is such an deadly mistake, the last thing an author can do is let the fans dictate how the story goes.
Well, we have his noob editor to thank then. If Yahagi was around, then I'm sure he wouldn't have let this happen and Kishi would have to walk over his dead body to do so.
