For me sanji is the worst among the SHs and I don't know why oda made him way beyond worst in wci arc 1. He is among the very 1st members of the SHs so he must know his captain very well.He witnessed the enies lobby situation where luffy took fight with the whole world government to save his crewmate (nakama) and even survived the buster call.This proved that no matter what happens luffy will never leave his frnds behind.So beating him so badly and even saying that he cannot become the pirate King was useless and this only proved that he doesn't know his captain well.Instead he could have just whispered in his ears about the situation he is in and I am sure luffy would have understood and people say that ge did that to show his family that he doesn't care about SHs but as soon as he get on the carriage he started crying this proved to his family members that he was acting. 2.He knew how stubborn luffy is so when he said that he will eat nothing but food cooked by him sanji should have understood that luffy was serious When luffy was fighting for sanji,Sanji was just preparing food for pudding and the thought never crossed his mind that his captain might be hungry.He didn't much cared about what happened to nami and luffy when he saw such a large army was moving towards them instead he was happy about his wedding.If only sanji didn't knew pudding's true intentions luffy would have starved to death. 3.I don't think he ever respects a woman If he respects them he would never think of peeping and seeing girls naked. He beated absalom for peeping while nami was bathing but the same thing he wanted to do this made him hypocrite. His chivalry about not kicking a women is good but when your frnd life is in danger you can't always follow ur chivalry and his chivalry only applies for beautiful girls.If he really followed his chivalry he won't have kicked big mom.He also insulted the transgenders of the akabaka kingdom 4.Among all the straw hats I think only he is not determined towards his goal.I think his only goal is to marry a beautiful girl.He never tried to search for the all blue.He is ready to die with a nosebleed but he wants to see the most beautiful mermaid so what about the all blue he forgets that everytime when he sees a girl So conclusion He doesn't have a strong determination,no respect for women, a vague chivalry and doesn't totally understands his captain All this makes him a bad character in one piece
@@subhajitdey6618 I think he fought luffy because he was pressured and not thinking straight there was so much things going on and they were in a yonkos territory he was hoping that luffy would leave and show germa that they weren’t allies but it didn’t work because luffy wouldn’t leave a crew mate behind. For your third reason sanji does actually have chivalry oda already addressed the thing with big mom in an sbs, he said that big mom was attacking luffy and reiju so sanji did a defensive kick not something that would hurt bigmom just like he did in ennies lobby with khalifa so it has nothing to do with being ugly, because in thriller bark he wasn’t attracted to lolas shadow but he still restrained from fighting her because she was a woman. And sanji is definitely determined to find the all blue like he promised zeff it’s just overshadowed by a gag.
@@subhajitdey6618 I don't know how people watch one piece. But since 2020 I learnt much things from this series such as each characters and arcs. In my opinion one piece is most powerful life lesson that's all
@@subhajitdey6618 wow. I never knew someone could miss as bad as this. You completely misunderstood everything related to him. Please use another perspective
I also think about how he may have wanted that ability that he read in a book when he was younger because he wanted nothing more than to be invisible so he wouldn't be bullied by his family and then I die inside.
The "you do what I can't, and I'll do what you can't, you got it Ussop?" Sanji right after saving Ussop's life, gave him the confidence and idea and that saved Robin
*Unpopular opinion* (disclaimer: zoro is my favorite op character) But I actually think Zoro and Sanji are actually best friends. It just kind of seems obvious. Oda shouldnt have to state it. Just their dynamics in general. Thats how me and my best friends have always acted or treated each other. Except for when shit is actually serious in which case we're kind and supportive. The name-calling, the rivalry, all of it. Thats what best friends do. Zoro was actually even worried about Sanji and Luffy called him out on it back in Zou, or a not so clear example, back on the train to Enis Lobby, or even the few times they've tag-teamed together and their synergy. I dont quite understand where the fan-boying goes out of hand and claims of who;s"better" or who "sucks". Its dumb. They are best friends. And if that isnt enough to convice you just consider the fact that the strawhats in general kinda consider eachother family. If you dont believe that last statement and want "proof" than all of this should just go over your head.
Of course they are best friends. There is a saying that a real best friend will jokingly talk shit to you, but say everything best about you when talking to someone else. There is also a scene in one piece (I think it was a filler episode) where zoro fights someone who uses leg kicks and says that he knows someone whose kicks are much stronger; while sanji fights a swordsman and says that he's not even close to a swordsman from his crew.
Sanji has always been my favorite strawhat for allot of the reasons listed in this video, but what I appreciate most about Sanji is simply his diversity of usefulness and personality. He is the only crew member you will see making a serious monologue like zoro in one scene, and goofing off with luffy and ussop in the next. He is the only one of the monster trio that also serves a vital utility role on the ship (being the cook) The smarts to come up with a tactical plan (Like ussop) and the strength to protect his allies from strong opponents (like luffy/zoro) He is something of a jack of all trades which is something I personally relate to.
I completely agree, especially for the first part! In the monster trio, he's the only one who's role isn't exclusively "to be strong." Luffy's the captain, so yeah, he's the strongest. Zoro's a swordsman, and his role is to be strong as a swordsman; it's basically his job to be strong. Sanji, however, has a role outside of being strong. He's there to cook, which is hella important - he just happens to also be really strong, strong enough to be compared to the members of the crew who are literally just there to be strong (Not trying to undermine Zoro and Luffy tho, they're my favs lmao).
He is also shown as rouge character in several arcs like enies lobby or alabasta where he has the foresight and cunning to take out some threats out before they can do more harm. But he is also supportive of lyssop and be kind and loyal. Oda had to nerf him with the not hurting women part or he would overshadow the others in the crew regarding fighting, because he is not a simpleminded idiot like zorro and ruffy, in all respect..
I've always loved Sanji and Zoro for their own characters and could never decide who I liked better but I've always loved Sanji's kindness, empathy and intellect.
@@weirdhuh8046 bruh if sanji wasn't simp, there is no funny with sanji. U are too dumb, cause u see simp was bad. Straw hat pirate must have funny character.
@@jaydmihawk8846 yeah I thought it was so cool to see how a yonko treated their territory. Now I think it's interesting to compare big mom and kidos styles
You didn't state the important thing about Sanji : When the weak members (Nami/Usopp/Chopper) need protection the first person they seek and they look after is Sanji. And this is why his pervy character is useful sometimes because he kind of senses that Nami or Robin are in some serious danger and he needs to hurry and comes to the rescue especially in Nami's case. I think this is one of the most defining trait about Sanji's persona in One Piece.
he did chase robin on the sea train...he knows her..shes more like luffy zoro and sanji and now jinbei aka serious and the tougher members of the crew....they have an aura about them..they are used to the crazy world.....franky used to be in that spot but hes moved more over to the goofy childish members of the crew
True. In almost every arc you can see this happen. Him either saving people or looking after the weaker members or them expecting him to. When sanji left the ship to go to dressrosa with luffy zoro and the others chopper expected sanji to stay there as he’s the strongest member of the straw hats that’s actually fine with staying and protecting them but he left due to his curiosity and chopper was freaked out.
You're actually right! 😳 Reminds me of that scene in Punk Hazard when Nami and Sanji's body switched. Usopp thought he'd be saved after getting attacked by Ceasar coz the first thing he saw after regaining his consciousness was Sanji's face. I could never forget Usopp's disappointed face when he realized it was Nami inside Sanji's body and not Sanji himself. 😆
I love how Sanji's kindness and altruism is represented in his dream of finding All Blue. Why does Sanji want to find All Blue? Because he would have access to the fish of all the world! He could cook delicious meals for others. That's good shit. His dream helps him serve others.
Sanji is one of my favorite One Piece characters because of his ideals, he is that character that you see get his heart broken and you can't help but feel for him, I thought Whole Cake did just fine is telling the story of Sanji and his family as well as the inner quarrel of his beliefs
Nah sanjis a liability.When pudding broke sanjis heart on whole cake island that would have been the perfect opportunity for sanji to turn savage and outgrow his weakness for character development.This would put him up there with zoro, jimbei and supernovas.
you forgot to mention how Sanji shut the two guys in Thriller Bark when they want to tell everybody about zoro's sacrifice. That's also an important moment of Sanji's cleverness. but aside of that, I really like this series, I like how you analyzing each character deeply. I'm definitely waiting for a video about Brook.
I wouldn't call that cleverness more so respect for zoro because zoro obviously didn't do what he did for praise, he did for the sake his captains life
Thats out of respect for zorro. Him being clever was neutralizing the two baroque works birds to not report, to not reveal he was not mr 3 and finding the log to alabasta. Or destroying the switch to close the gates of justice, ot to get on the train in water 7.Or to go undercover in alabasta. With zorro it was more empathy and respect.
In my opinion sanji also did that to protect luffy, luffy will blame himself if he knows that zorro was trading his life for him and not otherwise, as a captain luffy need to be confident with his ability to protect his crew…
That is why I love Sanji. It's wonderful to see others also see his character the way I've always seen him. I love your videos, you got a keen eye for each character's true personalities. They're definitely my favourite videos and I look forward for more from you Thank you.
Sanji is my favourite character and I will always defend him lol. The hate he gets is so undeserved, especially after the WCI arc. It just showed the sort of dumb dbz side of the fanbase, that only care about winning fights instead of character development.
Ahh ..ppl like those have barely seen any anime anyway...i dont really care about their opinions...Sanji will remain my favorite One Piece Character :D
That is not entirely true , not everyone judges them based on their fights , I have problems with sanji personality , he is a biased sexist jackass . Zoro at least believes in gender equality.
BQ W I’m sorry but You’re wrong. When they were fighting the pacifista in sabaody sanji was worried about zoro’s injuries also against kuma he wanted to stop zoro from sacrificing himself but zoro stopped him. (btw zoro is my favorite) but I also love everyone else they’re all unique in their own ways.
Most of the positives you listed the show listed as "complaints" by Sanji's dad, which Luffy confirmed were Sanji's best attributes at the conclusion of the Big Mom arc. Keep up the good work man, you're more than double the subs when I subbed.
lmao when vinsmoke judge listed all those qualities and luffy was just like, "OwO? okay, thanks!" then turned to sanji and said "why would he feel the need to compliment you like that?"
Ohh, so that's why I loved the Whole Cake Arc and so many people didn't, haha, I always look forward to internal growth on the characters rather than them becoming more powerful, so when I got to that arc, I was very excited watching Sanji struggling with inner conflict and then founding happiness again, it was very inspiring and beautiful, made me love him even more than I already did. (this arc made me love Brook more too, but that's another case entirely, lol) Oda's writing is just the best... Makes me want to study his methods and try it sometime.
You’re not alone I totally agree with your points. I also want to point out that Sanji is the reason Kinemon is even alive. It’s Funny how That whole scene goes unnoticed as well. Sanji was the one that saved Kinemon because at that point Kinemon Hated pirates and was going to stay headless, but Sanji decided to carry and help him
Sanji is the only other character from the Strawhats that I know off was capable to turn people to their sides by showing kindness. He has done it to: Gin, to Mr. 2 (by his display of undying loyalty to his crewmembers and Alabasta people as well as Vivi), to Violet, to Pudding and his family. And as Mihawk stated, that is a power that can change the tides and can end up changing the world.
You missed Kinnemon (the whole reason Wano happened) and the g5 marines (he became their leader) Luffy has feats of his two wings ambición for an impossible dream (zoro) and a will to change people's hearts (sanji)
I actually really enjoyed this video. There are not many people of this fanbase that truly understand how amazing of a character Sanji is. I liked the part where you spoke about his dream not relating to his character, and the type of story One Piece is. I think his loyalty and admiration to Zeff plays a big part in him wanting to find All Blue, more so than his own want to find All Blue. I think he's trying to fulfill that dream, not just for himself, but for Zeff as a way to thank him and repay him for sacrificing his dream and life as a pirate to save Sanji. You hit the nail on the head when you said "the main thing Sanji strives towards is to uphold his ideals and remain a true gentlemen". He doesn't want to become a man that brings shame to the person who raised him, Zeff. The desire he has to uphold this moral code of his, I believe, is one of the reasons why he is so strong and also why he is motivated to become stronger. "He doesn't have the motivation to become strong just for the sake of becoming strong", yes that is true. He does however have the motivation to also become stronger to protect those who are important him. I think some fans underestimate this type of motivation, especially when Sanji is compared to Zoro and Luffy. "Sanji has comparable fighting ability to those two, and as such, should have the same mindset as those two in order to keep up with them" but I also believe that this way of thinking is incorrect. I believe that becoming stronger to protect an ideal or a way of life or to protect others can have an equal, if not greater effect sometimes, than becoming stronger simply for the sake of becoming stronger.
So true! I agree with you, Lanre. His kindness proves to be his greatest ally throughout the whole series. He just never ignores people in need when he has the capability to help. In my mind, I believe that great personalities will become the heart of every great manga or anime as we've seen in Sanji and the others.
And he is the only actual character who made me cry throughout one piece when he was leaving Zeff! I could relate to it so well because I was raised by my grandparents mostly.
I didnt know ppl had a problem with the whole cake arc, i loved it. Oda made me cry so many times during it I only read one piece with ppl i trust because i never know when he'll make me ugly cry, than spit laugh. 😅😅😅 its a messy experience, i love it and keep going back for more. Love seeing your breakdowns over the crew keep it up looking forward to all your future one piece videos
@@FrancisR420 personally, I liked the anime adaption more than the manga. Originally, I thought I was in the minority when it came to that, but I've heard other OP CZcamsrs say the same thing, like BDA or RogerBase I thought there were pretty good filter scenes too. I also enjoyed the musical numbers, and the animation was pretty good (well, better than Dressrosa). Also, the Luffy were Katakuri fight. It was pretty long but rewatching it and being able to binge it, I find it to be really enjoyable, not that I didn't like it to before
Damn your videos are just incredible. Your character breakdowns are to a whole new level. And above all, this one's about my favorite, Sanji. Keep up the good work!
This was such a great video. I was a little iffy about Sanji when he first showed up, but after a bit I came to like him. My fondness for him grew as the series progressed, and then when I read the Big Mom arc, I realized I really, really love his character. I cried when I saw how much pain he was in, but the pain didn't make him cruel. It only made him more kind. I think that kindness is also part of what makes him and the other Strawhats so strong.
@@stealthblackwanji7453 well, still. I am a huge sanji fan, maybe, over everyone in the crew, but i don't think endurance is sanji's best ability. His strong sides have always been cunning and agility. It doesn't make him not resilient at all, but if there was a choice between zoro/luffy or sanji to get a monstrous hit from someone while being heavily injured, i would pick luffy or zoro, like it happened in Thriller Bark arc, i think, zoro made the right think not allowing sanji to sacrifice himself. And i think, sanji knows the fact he can't take an enormous amount of damage every time and that what makes him to go with plans and think about what he is doing, differently from zoro and luffy, who mostly rely on their instincts. And that why we love him so much, sanji fan bro.
@@abitowlish3709 Well said, Owl-kun. Yes, Sanji is more unique than the other two and unlike them, Sanji is more of a agility and speed type character, he may not take a enormous amount of damage and may not be a badass most of the time but he exchange them for intelligence and speed and that what makes Sanji standout than Luffy and Zoro. But I agree what you had said though :)
There's one more thing that I realized.... Remember when usopp/sogeking felt useless in Enies Lobby and Sanji adviced him that there are things that you can and can't do..... I think that Sanji pointed this thing also to himself when he can't do anything against Khalifa
Thank You!!! Someone who actually sees this about Sanji as I do. I cant tell you how many peopel I've been frustrated with over Sanji's unique development in the story.
I don't think so, Luffy's role is basically that and other than him I would say the most important members that keep the crew together are Nami and Zoro, both of whom take the leading roles that Luffy doesn't because of his personality
@Kul Pink Saving Tashigi from Vergo and the whole mink tribe from the poisonous gas, believing in Violet's tears, treating Pudding the way he did, saving his crewmates from Doflamingo, saving a whole village from Page One and jumping in front of the execution plaza for o-Toko. 7 in the New World cases where Sanji showcases his gentleness. This is the rule. Your hate towards this amazing character is the exception.
I love your take on Sanji it really brings home a lot of the things I was thinking but didn’t know how to quite explain. I think it also emphasizes the relationship dynamic between Sanji and Zoro as I see them as two sides of the same coin rather then polar opposites. Thank you
I think with how you analyze the Monster Trio so far, it solidifies my theory that they represent the 3 elements of human personality or psyche: Luffy - Id (instincts) Zoro - Ego (reality) Sanji - Superego (morality) That's why they're so relatable in a personal level. Thanks for giving justice to Sanji's character. :)
You have to remember oda set up the monster trio to rule each form of haki. Zorros is armament luffys is conqueror, and sanjis is observation. Like in dress Rosa when he saves nami he has almost a 6th sense for women in particular lol
@Brad Jeany he will,I imagine the whole monster trio will since almost anyone who’s considered tough in the new world has at least conquerors and armament. But oda said that would be their leads by the end so sanji will have the best observation, zoro armament, and luffy conquerors at least respectively in regards to each other
that's a misunderstand. what oda mean is that "Sanji's forte is observation haki", not "Sanji's observation haki is the strongest out of the three". The same applies to Zoro and Luffy. "Zoro's forte is armament haki" is different with "Zoro's armament is the strongest out of the three"
my favorite sanji moments come when he praises other crewmates, ussop during ennies lobby, and during thriller bark he viewed zoro’s and luffy’s dream as more valuable compared to his own dream. i think when sanji said this, zoro got mad since zoro values dream highly and then knocked him out
Many people totally missed the point of WCI, I’ve always liked sanji and after the WCI arc it made me love and appreciate his character even more. Sanji is probably one of the most well explored characters in the straw hats.
Another great video! If Sanji were more like Zoro or Luffy, it would be boring. Sanji is the paladin pirate, an honorable rogue. This contrast in ideals is what makes him great. His growth as a character isn't based on power stats, it's about resolving those conflicts within himself. He's the character that is an example showing that becoming a stronger person does not necessarily mean bigger muscles or learning powerful magic.
He's many characters, a cook, a kick-fighter, a prince, a simp, and my favorite one, the spy. He's always sabotaging the crew enemies that are too strong to win on a brawl. He's also a hype man and the guy that speak the true when needed but I guess every straw hat does those things in their own way. And he sacrifice as much as Zoro for the Crew and Luffy.
This is an amazing video. Sanji never wanted to be the strongest warrior. He wanted to be the best CHEF. P.S. He was the only Strawhat who defeated a Yonko (by his cooking)
Actually Sanji wants to find all blue, that's his main dream. I think he probably already is the best chef confirmed by Big Mom's satisfaction from the cake.
@@TheGman4747 not just for them but for others too. I can't wait to see Sanji cook food for the people Ebisu town with all of the perfect food in the capital. The poor fucks can smile from the bottom of their hearts then.
Absoultely love Sanji and Zoro's characters for different reasons. Zoro's unforgiving to anyone who hurts members of the crew when luffy isnt around. Meanwhile Sanji is always thinking about what move he should make next. Both very deep and complex!!
Absolutely, we can clearly see this in how both of them supported Luffy during his discussion with Usopp in W7, Zoro kept Luffy on the right track reminding him of his duties as a captain and Sanji kicked Luffy when he was about to say something he would regret.
Loved it! I think Sanji brings in a lot of balance to not only the Monster Trio, but to the storytelling as well. His motivations during arcs also have some comic element to them, which makes him more loveable.
Sanji aways was, hands down, my favovite straw hat, but I could never point my finger at a particular reason. After seeing this video I saw just how much I identify with his personality and way of acting overall. Now I get why I like him so much
@@kaidzz I don't see the point of comparing them at all. Zoro is stronger yes but so what, Sanji has characteristics that Zoro doesnt as well. They're part of the same team ffs we shouldn't be cribbing over who'll win in a fight between them. And as I read in a comment here, they are more like best friends so it doesn't really matter as long as they motivate each other to get better at what they do. :)
@@kaidzz well duh of course, Zoro is stronger. Luffy and Zoro are the only two that have dreams that rely on physical strength. But Sanji is an awesome character he's a main fighter but his dream has nothing to do with strength yet he continues to exceed the level of what is expected of him for the sake of protecting his nakama
Preach!! Sanji is my second favourite, if not t h e favourite Strawhat (Luffy being the other one) I love him so much, he's just such a perfect man. Thank you so much for this video and acknowledging the angel that Sanji is!
You are amazing, please do more. I love One piece but from time to time i get annoyed by the characters, since its such a long story i've forgotten about so many little but important things wich happened during the years, that i forget some of the good parts of our pirates. So thank you for reminding me and probaply many other OP-fans of these things :)
I loved this video, I am a very great fan of Sanji, and even Oda already said that Sanji is his favorite character. You (Ohara) mentioned his passive approach while fighting and his rules about not fighting women and so, but forgot to mention his rule that made his name, "my hands are to cook, my legs for fighting". It seems to be a simple thing, but it's a gentleman trait for sure, he believes that if he fight with his hands his food will become impure with hate, his legs made his name "Black Leg Sanji" and this is much more than a simple way to distinguish characters, he prefers to have a hard fight than taint the love he applies to his food. Also there was his fight against Wanze where Sanji used his hands to fight for thinking Wanze wasn't a real cook, even then he only used his hands to fight against Wanze's food (Ramen Kenpo).
Cool. Good to see I'm not alone in swimming against the stream on how Sanji's character fit into the crew and overall narrative of One Piece. I think it's great that his actual skill is cooking and not fighting, he's just a strong fighter as a bonus. And think it's great that Oda doesn't seem to loose sight of this, despite of the fanbase seems to wish for.
Luffy just honestly went what do I want on a boat. Friends, a good cook & a Musician. I do not think he has named a position before someone joined apart from those two.
This entire video was proven true with the revelation in the latest Chapter 1030 where Spoiler Alert … … … Sanjis body is transforming into that of his enhanced Germa brothers and sister and he doesn’t want it to happen because he’s scared he’ll lose his humanity and end up heartless like them (excluding Reiju). I am pretty excited to see how much he gets a power up.
this and also in chapter 1031 where sanji tells zoro to kill him if hes different, sanji has honestly become the best written character in one piece, with law, dofy, and ace not far behind
Supirior18 true, but I dig his aesthetic, attitude, introduced crew mates, the little bit of backstory we do have on him not to mention I personally think his a celestial dragon 🐉 turned good, but all that non-sense that does not matter aside he gave one of my favorite character my favorite object in the entire series the STRAWHAT😆🔥🔥🔥...Don’t get me wrong i totally get your point there’s just something about shanks that I like more about shanks than I do luffy and sanji and my personality and morals and life how I look at people etc are more in line with those two than shanks all though like you said we don’t know much about him 🤦♂️🤷♂️😯😌😂
@@EccentricSH i wouldn't be surprised if shanks get killed by blackbeard. So oda evades the awkward battle between luffy and shanks for the king of pirates and he gives luffy a real reason to go after blackbeard...so i have a feeling shanks won't get much screentime in the series
Supirior18 yeah...I think my thoughts are somewhere along the same as yours....I am hoping we along see one of shanks fights just to get an idea of his power to keep the mystery alive I’m much more interested in the back story of shanks and his current motive...plus I think 🤔 there’s a reason he entrusted luffy with his straw hat I think he knew he would die before he achieved his goals back in fusha village🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣lol(sigh) 😄 who knows haha I could just be full of it!
this is the first analysis video of one piece that i dont skip some parts and im happy that its not just me who see Sanji as a really amazing character
For me Sanji is an open book, you can literally read him. I love his character, be it the goofy pervert to the serious one. His ideals about food and hunger makes his character more respectable for me. When he said that his hands are not for fighting but only for cooking made me admire him more. Also his rivalry with Zoro and all their other shenanigans just add to the flavors for the their characters 😍
Can foreshadow Sanji showing his loyalty at the near end of One Piece sacrificing his life for his crewmates leaving epic scene with "To be continue" like we used to get from pre-time skip Sanji telling a words or two to Luffy like *Oi Luffy look for the All Blue for me*
Thank you for this video! Sanji is my favourite character. I am deebly happy for you mentioning the fact how people compare the monster trio. Like yeah, Luffy and Zoro can and will fight anyone. But I personally love a man with principles and ideals. Sanji not hurting women doesn't bother me even though I am a woman myself. I don't see it as sexist, because Sanji doesn't put women down. He might see women as beautiful, delicate flowers, but he has never said that a woman cannot be strong. He doesn't deny that.
Sanji is a DPS Bruiser like the rest of the monster trio but he has a lot of points put into support. All put together I think his build actually requires more exp than Luffy's or Zoro's which makes him the highest level member on the crew imho.
Plus he has to rely on only his legs because he's saving his hands for cooking, which the crew still vitally needs. Sanji is the only one of the monster trio that can't fully devote himself to fighting.
I find it very cool, and a sign of Oda's great writing, that Sanji is essentially an "English Butler" that should be the Master and not the Servant. He has all the qualities that the true Butler should have historically but is in fact a Prince. The idea of the Butler comes from the Manservants that would accompany Nobility or Royalty when they entered into Military Service. The manservant would undergo the same training while maintaining the proper behavior and still serving their Master. In many ways they were more of a Bodyguard that can kick ass when needed.
I subscribed after watching this 👍 Sanji is my favorite character not because of his fighting ability but because of his character and his values and how important they are to him like choosing death over hitting a woman is an intense value to live by (Diable Jambe is awesome though especial with Sky Walk 🔥)
I think you had an interesting read on Sanji in this video but ultimately I have a much different view on who he is. In my opinion what Sanji's entire character arc is about is, in a way, Hunger: Everything about Sanji revolves around unfulfilled desires, longing, and lack. Sanji is emptiness. Sanji saves Gin because he knows the deep pain of starvation. Sanji loves women to an uncomfortable degree because he was forced to be around cruel, violent, unfeeling men for his entire upbringing, with only women showing him love and kindness (besides, of course, Zeff. who still hit him a lot.) Sanji fights without a weapon, and without even using his hands, because he goes without those things- goes hungry- to ensure the others can stay satisfied. Because he doesn't want those people to feel the pain he's experienced. The "invisible man" part is merely an extension of this. As the stereotypical middle child, he was overlooked time and time again, even by the World Government. He keeps secrets well, like his bloodline, and often uses his enemies' lack of information to his advantage. I love Sanji because he manages to swallow this emptiness and stay true to himself, his ideals and his dreams, which yeah, is honestly to find what he really needs in his life: loads of great food and plenty of female attention. Because like they say when rejected by a lover, it's fine- "there's plenty of fish in the sea."
This literally explains everything I love about Sanji and why I loved his character development so much. Thanks for speaking my mind out 💛💛 (Currently binge watching and reading one piece because of the lock down )
Never forget he was able to inspire Bon Clay as well when he refused to kill him after their fight and that had HUGE implications for later on in the story.
It's not just that he's only a pervert ... Groping Nami's breasts as soon as they change bodies? Using the tech he hates just to be invisible and watch ladies bath??? Not saying thank you to people who gave him blood and tried to save him, just because they were trans or not "real women" in his mind. In fishman arc? Not trying to fight with Khalifa, while one of their friend was on verge of death (robin)? Yes, a real gentleman, Sanji. Who respect women so much, that he doesn't even see them as people.
Love the ideals I would also add that sanji emotions is gauged through his feeling "hell memories" the more he feels the stronger his flames so he gets stronger the more he feels
I love Sanji so much. WCI was perfect for him. We saw so much struggle, a broken soul, a great heartbreak, the final acceptance he underestimated the whole situation completely and the appreciation of his grest cooking skills. I was very satisfiyed, esp. the last episode. Such bittersweet moments. Everything good and bad has been sayed, nobody is perfect and yet he has come so far, from Germa's failure to one of the wings of the future king of pirates.
Everyone likes zoro over sanji bc of strength or bc he is cool but sanji is the best written straw hat and ain't weak. He's been my fav character since first appearance and he will forever be
This video was incredibly thought provoking and powerful; looking deeper into Sanji's character (and any One Piece character), I am always blown away by how dimensional each characters' depth, and growth is. Oda did an outstanding job making these folks as human and relatable as possible by giving Sanji, and other characters like him biases, flaws, and of course principles. It just makes them seem more human. Great job showcasing this. 😃
The last episode of the Whole Cake Island arc is probably my favorite of the whole series, I cried my eyes out when Pudding kissed Sanji and then erased his memories. One Piece is a fcking masterpiece anime.
Sanji has been one of my favorite characters since the start. The whole cake island arc helped give a deeper understanding of who sanji is. One of my favorite scenes is when he couldn't light up his cigarette in the rain.......
Sanji is my favorite character. • He might actually buy the ingredients for Chopper since Chopper ran short on the way to WCI. •Without Sanji, SH would’ve been so lost. He saved their lives even while they were on their way to WCI without even being there with his recipe. •He’s adorable (Idk why I’m saying that but he just is. I mean, his eyes are actually as wide as a Luffy’s and he’s so adorable when he’s relieved. And his ahoge. The ahoge is Danganronpa material even. He’s got a sort of childish yet mature character.) •His fighting is beautiful. Tell me that, if you watch the anime, his VA isn’t always on point with attack names. Wait no period. His VA is perfect for his character. To the point I can even recognize the voice in different animes. He is also really smart like the video says. •His hair is perfect. Change my mind. Even in Super Saiyan, his hair is perfect. •His chivalry and Kindness! Perfect! His loyalty! Perfect! •Gentlemanliness! Maybe even to rival Jonathan Joestar’s! •His dreams and beliefs that he sticks to! I also agree food shouldn’t be wasted though for a completely different reason. •Sanji’s taught me just so much like Luffy has (And idk why Zoro and Sanji moments has me so happy. They’re literally best friends...frenemies whatever you want to call it.) And his smile makes my day! 😆

For me sanji is the worst among the SHs and I don't know why oda made him way beyond worst in wci arc
1. He is among the very 1st members of the SHs so he must know his captain very well.He witnessed the enies lobby situation where luffy took fight with the whole world government to save his crewmate (nakama) and even survived the buster call.This proved that no matter what happens luffy will never leave his frnds behind.So beating him so badly and even saying that he cannot become the pirate King was useless and this only proved that he doesn't know his captain well.Instead he could have just whispered in his ears about the situation he is in and I am sure luffy would have understood and people say that ge did that to show his family that he doesn't care about SHs but as soon as he get on the carriage he started crying this proved to his family members that he was acting.
2.He knew how stubborn luffy is so when he said that he will eat nothing but food cooked by him sanji should have understood that luffy was serious
When luffy was fighting for sanji,Sanji was just preparing food for pudding and the thought never crossed his mind that his captain might be hungry.He didn't much cared about what happened to nami and luffy when he saw such a large army was moving towards them instead he was happy about his wedding.If only sanji didn't knew pudding's true intentions luffy would have starved to death.
3.I don't think he ever respects a woman
If he respects them he would never think of peeping and seeing girls naked.
He beated absalom for peeping while nami was bathing but the same thing he wanted to do this made him hypocrite.
His chivalry about not kicking a women is good but when your frnd life is in danger you can't always follow ur chivalry and his chivalry only applies for beautiful girls.If he really followed his chivalry he won't have kicked big mom.He also insulted the transgenders of the akabaka kingdom
4.Among all the straw hats I think only he is not determined towards his goal.I think his only goal is to marry a beautiful girl.He never tried to search for the all blue.He is ready to die with a nosebleed but he wants to see the most beautiful mermaid so what about the all blue he forgets that everytime when he sees a girl
So conclusion
He doesn't have a strong determination,no respect for women, a vague chivalry and doesn't totally understands his captain
All this makes him a bad character in one piece
@@subhajitdey6618 I think he fought luffy because he was pressured and not thinking straight there was so much things going on and they were in a yonkos territory he was hoping that luffy would leave and show germa that they weren’t allies but it didn’t work because luffy wouldn’t leave a crew mate behind. For your third reason sanji does actually have chivalry oda already addressed the thing with big mom in an sbs, he said that big mom was attacking luffy and reiju so sanji did a defensive kick not something that would hurt bigmom just like he did in ennies lobby with khalifa so it has nothing to do with being ugly, because in thriller bark he wasn’t attracted to lolas shadow but he still restrained from fighting her because she was a woman. And sanji is definitely determined to find the all blue like he promised zeff it’s just overshadowed by a gag.
@@subhajitdey6618 I don't know how people watch one piece. But since 2020 I learnt much things from this series such as each characters and arcs. In my opinion one piece is most powerful life lesson that's all
@@Ts-uz3cm Its simple people watch one piece with their eyes
@@subhajitdey6618 wow. I never knew someone could miss as bad as this. You completely misunderstood everything related to him. Please use another perspective
Sanji: the example of a true gentlemen. Also Sanji: his long life desire is to have the ability of an invisible man so he can peek on woman
accurate haha
he finally had the ability lol
Lol he finally has it after like 12 years
I also think about how he may have wanted that ability that he read in a book when he was younger because he wanted nothing more than to be invisible so he wouldn't be bullied by his family and then I die inside.
@Rerin Lunghar hahaha 😂😂😂
My favorite Sanji moment os when he loudly shouts the praises of "our sniper" at Eneis Lobby to bolster Usopp's confidence.
Same here. Usopp might be one of the few male crew members who consistently gets along with Sanji for the most part.
The "you do what I can't, and I'll do what you can't, you got it Ussop?" Sanji right after saving Ussop's life, gave him the confidence and idea and that saved Robin
@@TheGman4747 True. I wish they had more moments together.
Ali Bakhshi also Sanji and ussop just has another moment in the manga
Same man, I love how supportive Sanji can be of his fellow crewmates, and especially towards Usopp since he's my favorite.
*Unpopular opinion* (disclaimer: zoro is my favorite op character)
But I actually think Zoro and Sanji are actually best friends.
It just kind of seems obvious. Oda shouldnt have to state it. Just their dynamics in general. Thats how me and my best friends have always acted or treated each other. Except for when shit is actually serious in which case we're kind and supportive.
The name-calling, the rivalry, all of it. Thats what best friends do. Zoro was actually even worried about Sanji and Luffy called him out on it back in Zou, or a not so clear example, back on the train to Enis Lobby, or even the few times they've tag-teamed together and their synergy.
I dont quite understand where the fan-boying goes out of hand and claims of who;s"better" or who "sucks". Its dumb.
They are best friends. And if that isnt enough to convice you just consider the fact that the strawhats in general kinda consider eachother family. If you dont believe that last statement and want "proof" than all of this should just go over your head.
And don't forget how they mirror Dorry and Broggy
Of course they are best friends. There is a saying that a real best friend will jokingly talk shit to you, but say everything best about you when talking to someone else. There is also a scene in one piece (I think it was a filler episode) where zoro fights someone who uses leg kicks and says that he knows someone whose kicks are much stronger; while sanji fights a swordsman and says that he's not even close to a swordsman from his crew.
@@exeterra4825 you are talking about a movie plus I don't think they are friends. They are rivals they respect each other but they are not friends
StoicSwordsman meh
@@amdryzen8725 I can understand them not being best friends, but if you think they aren't friends idk what to tell you...
Sanji has always been my favorite strawhat for allot of the reasons listed in this video, but what I appreciate most about Sanji is simply his diversity of usefulness and personality. He is the only crew member you will see making a serious monologue like zoro in one scene, and goofing off with luffy and ussop in the next. He is the only one of the monster trio that also serves a vital utility role on the ship (being the cook) The smarts to come up with a tactical plan (Like ussop) and the strength to protect his allies from strong opponents (like luffy/zoro) He is something of a jack of all trades which is something I personally relate to.
I completely agree, especially for the first part! In the monster trio, he's the only one who's role isn't exclusively "to be strong." Luffy's the captain, so yeah, he's the strongest. Zoro's a swordsman, and his role is to be strong as a swordsman; it's basically his job to be strong. Sanji, however, has a role outside of being strong. He's there to cook, which is hella important - he just happens to also be really strong, strong enough to be compared to the members of the crew who are literally just there to be strong (Not trying to undermine Zoro and Luffy tho, they're my favs lmao).
He is also shown as rouge character in several arcs like enies lobby or alabasta where he has the foresight and cunning to take out some threats out before they can do more harm. But he is also supportive of lyssop and be kind and loyal. Oda had to nerf him with the not hurting women part or he would overshadow the others in the crew regarding fighting, because he is not a simpleminded idiot like zorro and ruffy, in all respect..
@@jonsnor4313 I'm sorry but Luffy in battle is usually the opposite of his usual idiotic self
At the very least he is one of maybe even the most rounded character
Jon Snor
Are you perhaps from Germany or Austria? Because in the German dub Usopp is called Lysopp. 🙃
I've always loved Sanji and Zoro for their own characters and could never decide who I liked better but I've always loved Sanji's kindness, empathy and intellect.
Same
me too.

Unpopular opinion but ever since the whole cake island arc Sanji became my favorite character in all of one piece.

You're late 12 years. Sanji had been my favourite since his first appearance.
Hes been mine till i saw his first back story then he trully took it home when i saw his second
Hes been my favorite since he beat the shit out of that one fisherman wayyy back
Luffy said it the best "WITHOUT YOU.... I... I CAN'T BECOME THE PIRATE KING"
Sanki is one of the coolest character
@@sfk13 only if he wasnt a simp , he would be one of my favourite character
@@weirdhuh8046 he's still greatly written, or else he wouldve been less fun

@@ahmadrizkysidabutar nah for me sanji simp part annoy me lol how does simp make u funny
So many people bitched about whole cake island arc but I enjoyed it.
Same here the start was a bit rough but overall I love whole cake island
@@jaydmihawk8846 yeah I thought it was so cool to see how a yonko treated their territory. Now I think it's interesting to compare big mom and kidos styles
I thought it was amazing tbh. Maybe the lighting/ambience could've been better, but I thoroughly enjoyed it
@@BeeMusic2024 I just wish the anime was better. Imagine if one piece had my hero animation.
To be clear I dont mean the style I mean the pacing and just how drawn out one piece anime is these days.
You didn't state the important thing about Sanji : When the weak members (Nami/Usopp/Chopper) need protection the first person they seek and they look after is Sanji. And this is why his pervy character is useful sometimes because he kind of senses that Nami or Robin are in some serious danger and he needs to hurry and comes to the rescue especially in Nami's case.
I think this is one of the most defining trait about Sanji's persona in One Piece.
he did chase robin on the sea train...he knows her..shes more like luffy zoro and sanji and now jinbei aka serious and the tougher members of the crew....they have an aura about them..they are used to the crazy world.....franky used to be in that spot but hes moved more over to the goofy childish members of the crew
True. In almost every arc you can see this happen. Him either saving people or looking after the weaker members or them expecting him to. When sanji left the ship to go to dressrosa with luffy zoro and the others chopper expected sanji to stay there as he’s the strongest member of the straw hats that’s actually fine with staying and protecting them but he left due to his curiosity and chopper was freaked out.
I would rush to protect robin and nami too, gotta keep the waifus safe
You're actually right! 😳 Reminds me of that scene in Punk Hazard when Nami and Sanji's body switched. Usopp thought he'd be saved after getting attacked by Ceasar coz the first thing he saw after regaining his consciousness was Sanji's face. I could never forget Usopp's disappointed face when he realized it was Nami inside Sanji's body and not Sanji himself. 😆
@@brunobucciarati5189 i smell a simp
I love how Sanji's kindness and altruism is represented in his dream of finding All Blue. Why does Sanji want to find All Blue? Because he would have access to the fish of all the world! He could cook delicious meals for others. That's good shit. His dream helps him serve others.
Sanji is one of my favorite One Piece characters because of his ideals, he is that character that you see get his heart broken and you can't help but feel for him, I thought Whole Cake did just fine is telling the story of Sanji and his family as well as the inner quarrel of his beliefs
Same, Sanji is my favorite character because of his development throughout the series. I do agree with you though.
sanji has great character development in WCI arc i mean hes always thirsty for a gf but the moment he has to get married he turns it down
Nah sanjis a liability.When pudding broke sanjis heart on whole cake island that would have been the perfect opportunity for sanji to turn savage and outgrow his weakness for character development.This would put him up there with zoro, jimbei and supernovas.
you forgot to mention how Sanji shut the two guys in Thriller Bark when they want to tell everybody about zoro's sacrifice.
That's also an important moment of Sanji's cleverness.
but aside of that, I really like this series, I like how you analyzing each character deeply. I'm definitely waiting for a video about Brook.
I wouldn't call that cleverness more so respect for zoro because zoro obviously didn't do what he did for praise, he did for the sake his captains life
@@ByMxdrii yeaa I mean, that's the cleverness of Sanji, he know what's good for everyone.
Thats out of respect for zorro. Him being clever was neutralizing the two baroque works birds to not report, to not reveal he was not mr 3 and finding the log to alabasta. Or destroying the switch to close the gates of justice, ot to get on the train in water 7.Or to go undercover in alabasta.
With zorro it was more empathy and respect.
@@jonsnor4313 thats what i meant
In my opinion sanji also did that to protect luffy, luffy will blame himself if he knows that zorro was trading his life for him and not otherwise, as a captain luffy need to be confident with his ability to protect his crew…
That is why I love Sanji. It's wonderful to see others also see his character the way I've always seen him.
I love your videos, you got a keen eye for each character's true personalities. They're definitely my favourite videos and I look forward for more from you
Thank you.
the character is written that way so it's not a surprise you got the intended effect.
I really loved one piece with the barotique arc, sanji is essential to the strawhats and makes the crew work, along with ruffy and nami..
Sanji is my favourite character and I will always defend him lol. The hate he gets is so undeserved, especially after the WCI arc. It just showed the sort of dumb dbz side of the fanbase, that only care about winning fights instead of character development.
Most fanbase have quite a lot of people who believe wnning means development and loosing means regression lol.
Ahh ..ppl like those have barely seen any anime anyway...i dont really care about their opinions...Sanji will remain my favorite One Piece Character :D
💯
That is not entirely true , not everyone judges them based on their fights , I have problems with sanji personality , he is a biased sexist jackass . Zoro at least believes in gender equality.
BQ W I’m sorry but You’re wrong. When they were fighting the pacifista in sabaody sanji was worried about zoro’s injuries also against kuma he wanted to stop zoro from sacrificing himself but zoro stopped him. (btw zoro is my favorite) but I also love everyone else they’re all unique in their own ways.
Most of the positives you listed the show listed as "complaints" by Sanji's dad, which Luffy confirmed were Sanji's best attributes at the conclusion of the Big Mom arc. Keep up the good work man, you're more than double the subs when I subbed.
lmao when vinsmoke judge listed all those qualities and luffy was just like, "OwO? okay, thanks!" then turned to sanji and said "why would he feel the need to compliment you like that?"
Ohh, so that's why I loved the Whole Cake Arc and so many people didn't, haha, I always look forward to internal growth on the characters rather than them becoming more powerful, so when I got to that arc, I was very excited watching Sanji struggling with inner conflict and then founding happiness again, it was very inspiring and beautiful, made me love him even more than I already did. (this arc made me love Brook more too, but that's another case entirely, lol)
Oda's writing is just the best... Makes me want to study his methods and try it sometime.
You’re not alone I totally agree with your points. I also want to point out that Sanji is the reason Kinemon is even alive. It’s Funny how That whole scene goes unnoticed as well. Sanji was the one that saved Kinemon because at that point Kinemon Hated pirates and was going to stay headless, but Sanji decided to carry and help him
Sanji is the only other character from the Strawhats that I know off was capable to turn people to their sides by showing kindness. He has done it to: Gin, to Mr. 2 (by his display of undying loyalty to his crewmembers and Alabasta people as well as Vivi), to Violet, to Pudding and his family.
And as Mihawk stated, that is a power that can change the tides and can end up changing the world.
Sadly nobody talks about this capability of sanji .
True
Wow I just realize now that you mentioned it :0
You missed Kinnemon (the whole reason Wano happened) and the g5 marines (he became their leader)
Luffy has feats of his two wings ambición for an impossible dream (zoro) and a will to change people's hearts (sanji)
now i am waiting for Brook's
especially with luffy's desire for a musician since the very beginning of his voyage
I actually really enjoyed this video. There are not many people of this fanbase that truly understand how amazing of a character Sanji is. I liked the part where you spoke about his dream not relating to his character, and the type of story One Piece is. I think his loyalty and admiration to Zeff plays a big part in him wanting to find All Blue, more so than his own want to find All Blue. I think he's trying to fulfill that dream, not just for himself, but for Zeff as a way to thank him and repay him for sacrificing his dream and life as a pirate to save Sanji. You hit the nail on the head when you said "the main thing Sanji strives towards is to uphold his ideals and remain a true gentlemen". He doesn't want to become a man that brings shame to the person who raised him, Zeff. The desire he has to uphold this moral code of his, I believe, is one of the reasons why he is so strong and also why he is motivated to become stronger.
"He doesn't have the motivation to become strong just for the sake of becoming strong", yes that is true. He does however have the motivation to also become stronger to protect those who are important him. I think some fans underestimate this type of motivation, especially when Sanji is compared to Zoro and Luffy. "Sanji has comparable fighting ability to those two, and as such, should have the same mindset as those two in order to keep up with them" but I also believe that this way of thinking is incorrect. I believe that becoming stronger to protect an ideal or a way of life or to protect others can have an equal, if not greater effect sometimes, than becoming stronger simply for the sake of becoming stronger.
So true! I agree with you, Lanre. His kindness proves to be his greatest ally throughout the whole series. He just never ignores people in need when he has the capability to help. In my mind, I believe that great personalities will become the heart of every great manga or anime as we've seen in Sanji and the others.
And he is the only actual character who made me cry throughout one piece when he was leaving Zeff! I could relate to it so well because I was raised by my grandparents mostly.
He’s definitely the most complex character, and kind as can be
Love Sanji. He is the Yang to Zoro's Yin. They balance each other out.
Its Admiral Kizaru right?
I didnt know ppl had a problem with the whole cake arc, i loved it. Oda made me cry so many times during it I only read one piece with ppl i trust because i never know when he'll make me ugly cry, than spit laugh. 😅😅😅 its a messy experience, i love it and keep going back for more. Love seeing your breakdowns over the crew keep it up looking forward to all your future one piece videos
I mean Gintama is just as magical in the ugly cry to spit cry in that regard.
@@bigkirbyhj666
Gintama is magical
It was so slow in the show I feel like there was a whole episode Luffy trying to rip off his arms that's played way too serious
@@FrancisR420 personally, I liked the anime adaption more than the manga. Originally, I thought I was in the minority when it came to that, but I've heard other OP CZcamsrs say the same thing, like BDA or RogerBase
I thought there were pretty good filter scenes too. I also enjoyed the musical numbers, and the animation was pretty good (well, better than Dressrosa). Also, the Luffy were Katakuri fight. It was pretty long but rewatching it and being able to binge it, I find it to be really enjoyable, not that I didn't like it to before
Damn your videos are just incredible. Your character breakdowns are to a whole new level. And above all, this one's about my favorite, Sanji.
Keep up the good work!
I was going to comment but you let nothing for me to say

Boo Sanji
@@kenyattafrazier is this a personal attack or something ?
@@MOURADSLIM hahaha
This was such a great video. I was a little iffy about Sanji when he first showed up, but after a bit I came to like him. My fondness for him grew as the series progressed, and then when I read the Big Mom arc, I realized I really, really love his character. I cried when I saw how much pain he was in, but the pain didn't make him cruel. It only made him more kind. I think that kindness is also part of what makes him and the other Strawhats so strong.
He took direct hit from enel two times to help nami and ussop escape
"Thanks for the light" - Sanji, after getting clapped
And people still think that Sanji's endurance is not as good as Zoro and Luffy lol.
@@stealthblackwanji7453 well, still. I am a huge sanji fan, maybe, over everyone in the crew, but i don't think endurance is sanji's best ability. His strong sides have always been cunning and agility. It doesn't make him not resilient at all, but if there was a choice between zoro/luffy or sanji to get a monstrous hit from someone while being heavily injured, i would pick luffy or zoro, like it happened in Thriller Bark arc, i think, zoro made the right think not allowing sanji to sacrifice himself. And i think, sanji knows the fact he can't take an enormous amount of damage every time and that what makes him to go with plans and think about what he is doing, differently from zoro and luffy, who mostly rely on their instincts.
And that why we love him so much, sanji fan bro.
@@abitowlish3709 Well said, Owl-kun. Yes, Sanji is more unique than the other two and unlike them, Sanji is more of a agility and speed type character, he may not take a enormous amount of damage and may not be a badass most of the time but he exchange them for intelligence and speed and that what makes Sanji standout than Luffy and Zoro. But I agree what you had said though :)
@@stealthblackwanji7453 anyway, Sanji-fanboy-fangirl-friendship forever! 🖐️🤙
Sanji is actually my favourite of the Monster trio. I identify with aspects of each, but I get Sanji. And his struggles
There's one more thing that I realized.... Remember when usopp/sogeking felt useless in Enies Lobby and Sanji adviced him that there are things that you can and can't do..... I think that Sanji pointed this thing also to himself when he can't do anything against Khalifa
Thank You!!! Someone who actually sees this about Sanji as I do. I cant tell you how many peopel I've been frustrated with over Sanji's unique development in the story.
Sanji is the shadow glue that keeps everyone together
you mean Luffy
Neither booty bandit
I'd say Nami.
Faheem range it’s zoro
I don't think so, Luffy's role is basically that and other than him I would say the most important members that keep the crew together are Nami and Zoro, both of whom take the leading roles that Luffy doesn't because of his personality
Chivalry is dead.
Sanji : am I a joke to you.
in the one piece world it is not, only in our shitty world where feminists exist
Yes Sanji, you are a joke to me
@Kul Pink You're the blind one here. The way he treated Pudding during the marriage shows how much of a gentleman Sanji is.
@Kul Pink Saving Tashigi from Vergo and the whole mink tribe from the poisonous gas, believing in Violet's tears, treating Pudding the way he did, saving his crewmates from Doflamingo, saving a whole village from Page One and jumping in front of the execution plaza for o-Toko.
7 in the New World cases where Sanji showcases his gentleness. This is the rule. Your hate towards this amazing character is the exception.
@Kul Pink You should better help your own self mature a little bit.
I love your take on Sanji it really brings home a lot of the things I was thinking but didn’t know how to quite explain. I think it also emphasizes the relationship dynamic between Sanji and Zoro as I see them as two sides of the same coin rather then polar opposites. Thank you
I think with how you analyze the Monster Trio so far, it solidifies my theory that they represent the 3 elements of human personality or psyche:
Luffy - Id (instincts)
Zoro - Ego (reality)
Sanji - Superego (morality)
That's why they're so relatable in a personal level.
Thanks for giving justice to Sanji's character. :)
Holy shit... it fits sooo well.
They are traffic lights
You have to remember oda set up the monster trio to rule each form of haki. Zorros is armament luffys is conqueror, and sanjis is observation. Like in dress Rosa when he saves nami he has almost a 6th sense for women in particular lol
@Brad Jeany he will,I imagine the whole monster trio will since almost anyone who’s considered tough in the new world has at least conquerors and armament. But oda said that would be their leads by the end so sanji will have the best observation, zoro armament, and luffy conquerors at least respectively in regards to each other
that's a misunderstand. what oda mean is that "Sanji's forte is observation haki", not "Sanji's observation haki is the strongest out of the three". The same applies to Zoro and Luffy. "Zoro's forte is armament haki" is different with "Zoro's armament is the strongest out of the three"
my favorite sanji moments come when he praises other crewmates, ussop during ennies lobby, and during thriller bark he viewed zoro’s and luffy’s dream as more valuable compared to his own dream. i think when sanji said this, zoro got mad since zoro values dream highly and then knocked him out
Many people totally missed the point of WCI, I’ve always liked sanji and after the WCI arc it made me love and appreciate his character even more. Sanji is probably one of the most well explored characters in the straw hats.
This breakdown was f-ing perfect! Thank you
Another great video! If Sanji were more like Zoro or Luffy, it would be boring. Sanji is the paladin pirate, an honorable rogue. This contrast in ideals is what makes him great. His growth as a character isn't based on power stats, it's about resolving those conflicts within himself. He's the character that is an example showing that becoming a stronger person does not necessarily mean bigger muscles or learning powerful magic.
G. Burkett Sr. I have a Oc that is inspired by Sanji so this analysis is very helpful.
Even though he does in fact have those powerful attributes 😁
He's many characters, a cook, a kick-fighter, a prince, a simp, and my favorite one, the spy. He's always sabotaging the crew enemies that are too strong to win on a brawl.
He's also a hype man and the guy that speak the true when needed but I guess every straw hat does those things in their own way. And he sacrifice as much as Zoro for the Crew and Luffy.
Finally! It's Sanji turn...how I felt during WCI. I'm sure this won't disappoint tho
This is an amazing video. Sanji never wanted to be the strongest warrior. He wanted to be the best CHEF.
P.S. He was the only Strawhat who defeated a Yonko (by his cooking)
SonnyChenova hope we see him beat a Yonko commander in wano.
SonnyChenova
Sanji wanted be strong to help Zeff

@@li-limandragon9287 Yes. but that's not his number 1 priority.
Actually Sanji wants to find all blue, that's his main dream. I think he probably already is the best chef confirmed by Big Mom's satisfaction from the cake.
😂
What I love about your channel is your consistent HIGH quality content you produce. Very nice video!
That was an amazing video, keep up the good work bro!
Damnit, I can't watch any of your character breakdowns without tearing up.
That's a sign, g
it is really sad you actually need to explain to people that sanji is more than just a dude that can kick things...
Right? Some people forget his main thing is to be the cook on the crew and he's done that splendidly for them.
@@TheGman4747 not just for them but for others too. I can't wait to see Sanji cook food for the people Ebisu town with all of the perfect food in the capital. The poor fucks can smile from the bottom of their hearts then.
These are exactly the type of one piece vidoes i want to find! Keep up the good work!
Absoultely love Sanji and Zoro's characters for different reasons. Zoro's unforgiving to anyone who hurts members of the crew when luffy isnt around. Meanwhile Sanji is always thinking about what move he should make next. Both very deep and complex!!
Absolutely, we can clearly see this in how both of them supported Luffy during his discussion with Usopp in W7, Zoro kept Luffy on the right track reminding him of his duties as a captain and Sanji kicked Luffy when he was about to say something he would regret.
Best elaboration on Sanji's character so far. Thank you for this🔥
Loved it! I think Sanji brings in a lot of balance to not only the Monster Trio, but to the storytelling as well. His motivations during arcs also have some comic element to them, which makes him more loveable.
Sanji aways was, hands down, my favovite straw hat, but I could never point my finger at a particular reason. After seeing this video I saw just how much I identify with his personality and way of acting overall. Now I get why I like him so much
The Fandom is shallow enough to not appreciate Sanji
@@fahmihinad8353 and 1% people like you who speak utter bullshit, pretty much 99% of the fandom love luffy what are you talking about
Don't lose hope, you can also find fans like Ohara
I appreciate Sanji but I'm mad at Sanji Fanbois that still thinks Sanji and Zoro are equal. we all know they have a huge gap in power.
@@kaidzz I don't see the point of comparing them at all. Zoro is stronger yes but so what, Sanji has characteristics that Zoro doesnt as well. They're part of the same team ffs we shouldn't be cribbing over who'll win in a fight between them. And as I read in a comment here, they are more like best friends so it doesn't really matter as long as they motivate each other to get better at what they do. :)
@@kaidzz well duh of course, Zoro is stronger. Luffy and Zoro are the only two that have dreams that rely on physical strength. But Sanji is an awesome character he's a main fighter but his dream has nothing to do with strength yet he continues to exceed the level of what is expected of him for the sake of protecting his nakama
Preach!! Sanji is my second favourite, if not t h e favourite Strawhat (Luffy being the other one) I love him so much, he's just such a perfect man. Thank you so much for this video and acknowledging the angel that Sanji is!
These Videos are masterpieces, i hope you can somewhen make one for Jinbei and... eventual other future Strawhat(s).
Putting some respek in my boi's name!!! Nice vid!
13:30 to be fair, when was the last time you saw nami drawing a map
When time was peaceful I guess😂 I don't think they've had a pieceful sail since sky ark
You are amazing, please do more.
I love One piece but from time to time i get annoyed by the characters, since its such a long story i've forgotten about so many little but important things wich happened during the years, that i forget some of the good parts of our pirates. So thank you for reminding me and probaply many other OP-fans of these things :)
You are underated man. You need more subs.
I loved this video, I am a very great fan of Sanji, and even Oda already said that Sanji is his favorite character. You (Ohara) mentioned his passive approach while fighting and his rules about not fighting women and so, but forgot to mention his rule that made his name, "my hands are to cook, my legs for fighting". It seems to be a simple thing, but it's a gentleman trait for sure, he believes that if he fight with his hands his food will become impure with hate, his legs made his name "Black Leg Sanji" and this is much more than a simple way to distinguish characters, he prefers to have a hard fight than taint the love he applies to his food. Also there was his fight against Wanze where Sanji used his hands to fight for thinking Wanze wasn't a real cook, even then he only used his hands to fight against Wanze's food (Ramen Kenpo).
Cool. Good to see I'm not alone in swimming against the stream on how Sanji's character fit into the crew and overall narrative of One Piece. I think it's great that his actual skill is cooking and not fighting, he's just a strong fighter as a bonus. And think it's great that Oda doesn't seem to loose sight of this, despite of the fanbase seems to wish for.
Luffy just honestly went what do I want on a boat. Friends, a good cook & a Musician. I do not think he has named a position before someone joined apart from those two.
This entire video was proven true with the revelation in the latest Chapter 1030 where
Spoiler Alert
…
…
…
Sanjis body is transforming into that of his enhanced Germa brothers and sister and he doesn’t want it to happen because he’s scared he’ll lose his humanity and end up heartless like them (excluding Reiju). I am pretty excited to see how much he gets a power up.
this and also in chapter 1031 where sanji tells zoro to kill him if hes different, sanji has honestly become the best written character in one piece, with law, dofy, and ace not far behind
1...shanks
2...Luffy
3....Sanji
My top 3 favorite characters
shanks?? We have barely seen anything from that character...and i have a feeling we won't see much of him until the end of One Piece.
Supirior18 true, but I dig his aesthetic, attitude, introduced crew mates, the little bit of backstory we do have on him not to mention I personally think his a celestial dragon 🐉 turned good, but all that non-sense that does not matter aside he gave one of my favorite character my favorite object in the entire series the STRAWHAT😆🔥🔥🔥...Don’t get me wrong i totally get your point there’s just something about shanks that I like more about shanks than I do luffy and sanji and my personality and morals and life how I look at people etc are more in line with those two than shanks all though like you said we don’t know much about him 🤦♂️🤷♂️😯😌😂
@@EccentricSH i wouldn't be surprised if shanks get killed by blackbeard. So oda evades the awkward battle between luffy and shanks for the king of pirates and he gives luffy a real reason to go after blackbeard...so i have a feeling shanks won't get much screentime in the series
Supirior18 yeah...I think my thoughts are somewhere along the same as yours....I am hoping we along see one of shanks fights just to get an idea of his power to keep the mystery alive I’m much more interested in the back story of shanks and his current motive...plus I think 🤔 there’s a reason he entrusted luffy with his straw hat I think he knew he would die before he achieved his goals back in fusha village🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣lol(sigh) 😄 who knows haha I could just be full of it!
Sanji is the cook of the crew his duty is to feed the future pirate king and crew. Thats his motive.
Samuel D. Uzumaki he's going too prove in Wano he's more than cooking you'll see.
this is the first analysis video of one piece that i dont skip some parts and im happy that its not just me who see Sanji as a really amazing character
Sanji is one of my favorites and this was beautifully done.
For me Sanji is an open book, you can literally read him. I love his character, be it the goofy pervert to the serious one. His ideals about food and hunger makes his character more respectable for me. When he said that his hands are not for fighting but only for cooking made me admire him more. Also his rivalry with Zoro and all their other shenanigans just add to the flavors for the their characters 😍
Amazing , just amazing breakdown . beautiful art
Can foreshadow Sanji showing his loyalty at the near end of One Piece sacrificing his life for his crewmates leaving epic scene with "To be continue" like we used to get from pre-time skip Sanji telling a words or two to Luffy like *Oi Luffy look for the All Blue for me*
God no just thinking about this making me cry I don't wanna my boy die
Thank you for this video! Sanji is my favourite character.
I am deebly happy for you mentioning the fact how people compare the monster trio. Like yeah, Luffy and Zoro can and will fight anyone. But I personally love a man with principles and ideals. Sanji not hurting women doesn't bother me even though I am a woman myself.
I don't see it as sexist, because Sanji doesn't put women down. He might see women as beautiful, delicate flowers, but he has never said that a woman cannot be strong. He doesn't deny that.
Sanji is a DPS Bruiser like the rest of the monster trio but he has a lot of points put into support.
All put together I think his build actually requires more exp than Luffy's or Zoro's which makes him the highest level member on the crew imho.
Plus he has to rely on only his legs because he's saving his hands for cooking, which the crew still vitally needs. Sanji is the only one of the monster trio that can't fully devote himself to fighting.
can you believe that i'm in tears cuz this vid?
He's one of my fav afterall
sanji's another role in strawhats aside from being a cook is He is their super hero that always saves everyone
sanji is a apart of the monster trio..we call them that for a reason....they going to fuck shit up in the future
Amazing video, this is exactly what I think about Sanji, I agree with everything you said. That's why I love him so much.
I love Sanji so muchhh
And this is why Sanji is my favourite character and why I loved WCI. Thank you for reminding me of that.
If sanjinwas not that perverted and more like gentleman like...everyones knows that he will be the most badass in the crew
Amazing character analysts! It's great to finally watch someone talk about his character and take all the aspects of his personality seriously.
I find it very cool, and a sign of Oda's great writing, that Sanji is essentially an "English Butler" that should be the Master and not the Servant. He has all the qualities that the true Butler should have historically but is in fact a Prince. The idea of the Butler comes from the Manservants that would accompany Nobility or Royalty when they entered into Military Service. The manservant would undergo the same training while maintaining the proper behavior and still serving their Master. In many ways they were more of a Bodyguard that can kick ass when needed.
I subscribed after watching this 👍
Sanji is my favorite character not because of his fighting ability but because of his character and his values and how important they are to him like choosing death over hitting a woman is an intense value to live by
(Diable Jambe is awesome though especial with Sky Walk 🔥)
do you still like him after the latest chapter in manga ??
Sanji the Flame god
Can't wait for the Robin and Franky vids.
I've made a excellent decision subscribing to you sir, you and I think you and I are on the same wave length. Thanks for the great video!
I think you had an interesting read on Sanji in this video but ultimately I have a much different view on who he is. In my opinion what Sanji's entire character arc is about is, in a way, Hunger: Everything about Sanji revolves around unfulfilled desires, longing, and lack. Sanji is emptiness.
Sanji saves Gin because he knows the deep pain of starvation. Sanji loves women to an uncomfortable degree because he was forced to be around cruel, violent, unfeeling men for his entire upbringing, with only women showing him love and kindness (besides, of course, Zeff. who still hit him a lot.) Sanji fights without a weapon, and without even using his hands, because he goes without those things- goes hungry- to ensure the others can stay satisfied. Because he doesn't want those people to feel the pain he's experienced.
The "invisible man" part is merely an extension of this. As the stereotypical middle child, he was overlooked time and time again, even by the World Government. He keeps secrets well, like his bloodline, and often uses his enemies' lack of information to his advantage.
I love Sanji because he manages to swallow this emptiness and stay true to himself, his ideals and his dreams, which yeah, is honestly to find what he really needs in his life: loads of great food and plenty of female attention. Because like they say when rejected by a lover, it's fine- "there's plenty of fish in the sea."
Sanji is the reason why I wear formal clothes
This literally explains everything I love about Sanji and why I loved his character development so much. Thanks for speaking my mind out 💛💛
(Currently binge watching and reading one piece because of the lock down )
Never forget he was able to inspire Bon Clay as well when he refused to kill him after their fight and that had HUGE implications for later on in the story.
He is the coolest in the crew
Chef
Fighter
Classic
Smart
Fast
Strong
Gentleman
Sweet
Amazing
He is the best
Chivalry is dead...
Sanji: hold my beer.
You sir have earned yourself a subscribe. We don't have enough OP youtubers like you. High quality video!
sanji not being a perv is the same as zoro not getting lost.
Yes, finally someone gets it.
It's not just that he's only a pervert ... Groping Nami's breasts as soon as they change bodies? Using the tech he hates just to be invisible and watch ladies bath??? Not saying thank you to people who gave him blood and tried to save him, just because they were trans or not "real women" in his mind. In fishman arc? Not trying to fight with Khalifa, while one of their friend was on verge of death (robin)? Yes, a real gentleman, Sanji. Who respect women so much, that he doesn't even see them as people.
Love the ideals I would also add that sanji emotions is gauged through his feeling "hell memories" the more he feels the stronger his flames so he gets stronger the more he feels
I love Sanji so much. WCI was perfect for him. We saw so much struggle, a broken soul, a great heartbreak, the final acceptance he underestimated the whole situation completely and the appreciation of his grest cooking skills. I was very satisfiyed, esp. the last episode. Such bittersweet moments.
Everything good and bad has been sayed, nobody is perfect and yet he has come so far, from Germa's failure to one of the wings of the future king of pirates.
Everyone likes zoro over sanji bc of strength or bc he is cool but sanji is the best written straw hat and ain't weak. He's been my fav character since first appearance and he will forever be
#sanjigang
Samee
This is why I have a Sanji tattoo
DarkShamanWolf I would love to see
This video was incredibly thought provoking and powerful; looking deeper into Sanji's character (and any One Piece character), I am always blown away by how dimensional each characters' depth, and growth is. Oda did an outstanding job making these folks as human and relatable as possible by giving Sanji, and other characters like him biases, flaws, and of course principles. It just makes them seem more human.
Great job showcasing this. 😃
The last episode of the Whole Cake Island arc is probably my favorite of the whole series, I cried my eyes out when Pudding kissed Sanji and then erased his memories. One Piece is a fcking masterpiece anime.
Sanji has been one of my favorite characters since the start. The whole cake island arc helped give a deeper understanding of who sanji is. One of my favorite scenes is when he couldn't light up his cigarette in the rain.......
Make one about the wisdom of Brook (beyond their silly behavior)
Brook's Eternal Wisdom
His loyalty and kindness too!
You sure know how to analyse a character! Well done and thank you
Sanji is my favorite character.
• He might actually buy the ingredients for Chopper since Chopper ran short on the way to WCI.
•Without Sanji, SH would’ve been so lost. He saved their lives even while they were on their way to WCI without even being there with his recipe.
•He’s adorable (Idk why I’m saying that but he just is. I mean, his eyes are actually as wide as a Luffy’s and he’s so adorable when he’s relieved. And his ahoge. The ahoge is Danganronpa material even. He’s got a sort of childish yet mature character.)
•His fighting is beautiful. Tell me that, if you watch the anime, his VA isn’t always on point with attack names. Wait no period. His VA is perfect for his character. To the point I can even recognize the voice in different animes. He is also really smart like the video says.
•His hair is perfect. Change my mind. Even in Super Saiyan, his hair is perfect.
•His chivalry and Kindness! Perfect! His loyalty! Perfect!
•Gentlemanliness! Maybe even to rival Jonathan Joestar’s!
•His dreams and beliefs that he sticks to! I also agree food shouldn’t be wasted though for a completely different reason.
•Sanji’s taught me just so much like Luffy has
(And idk why Zoro and Sanji moments has me so happy. They’re literally best friends...frenemies whatever you want to call it.)
And his smile makes my day! 😆
