      Luffy does think of Sanji very highly, he knows he's more than just a cook or a secondary fighter (contrary to what fans believe). While Luffy thinks of Zoro as someone very similar to him, thriving to get stronger and a demon that'll follow him anywhere but Sanji is diff, he is there to remind Luffy of his human side. This all is supported by when Vinsmoke Judge lists all of Sanji's "weaknesses" and Luffy goes "hey why did he just list down all your best qualities?" or something like that.

    Sanji being able to ask for help was huge for me. He showed respect for Robin’s strength and didn’t attempt to sacrifice himself. To me, that was as big a deal as the suit. It showed value in self and a more mature view of the women of his crew.

      That's exactly the meaning behind his dream for the All Blue, the All Blue is stated to have every type of fish and cuisine avalaible, that way a cook can express himself however he wants, its the perfect canvas for Sanji's personal passion as a cook and expression of his sense of identity after having almost lost all of that in his Germa days. Its also the embodiment of freedom in that sense of expressing your passion, which is why Luffy says his dream of Pirate King (AKA the most free person in the world) can't come true without Sanji's dream realized.

    Although we didn't see a lot of Sanji's "Heroic Moment" after the time-skip, I think what became more frequent, ever since Punk Hazard, is his "Kindness Moment" that snowballed into a big moment for the crew. His Punk Hazard decision to drag Kinemon along and to help pretty much gave Kinemon a reason to trust pirates while his decision to save the marines (in Sanji's style) made them friendly to them at the end. His Dressrosa's decision to trust Viola (in Sanji's style) gave them an ally and the clue to Doflamingo's plan before things turn severe for them. Zou and Whole Cake Arc are nuff said.
    Along with the whole theme of "genetically-modified human/soldiers" that started since Punk Hazard, Oda seems to slowly build up Sanji since way back before throwing us this culmination of Sanji's "power-up dilemma moment". I think I have to switch my favorite character in One Piece depending on how Sanji's arc ends.

    The fight against yourself is always one of the hardest, even more than physically ones. That's why I love WCI so much. Seeing Sanji struggle so much... his family abused him so many times and yet he still wanted to save them. What an amount of strenght that takes is beyond imagination.
    He felt free after escaping, knowing he was not like his father/brothers and now in just a few moments everything changed. It was surprising the change came in this arc. I thought it would be later.
    So I hope everything will turn out well. He needs to see the All Blue, that Luffy will create by destroying the Red line.
    Also I kinda hope Pudding could be a key to "cure" him, if he looses his emotions (temporary).

    One thing Oda does that almost no other story can achieve is long term character development. Most stories just aren't long enough to even to do this in the first place, and the few others that are long only have a single developed moment, and even with multiple, usually it's not tied together. Oda's character development for character ties in beautifully with previous character development that whatever we felt for the prior development, the new moment only enhances the previous one.

  • @hope757
    @hope757 Před 2 lety +10

    Another aspect of Sanji's decision in 1031 that I think is kind of overlooked is how it resolves the problematic "perverted" side of him that's been an issue in the past, especially in Post-Timeskip Sanji's characterization. It seemed like he was getting goofier and more unlikeable because he kept pushing in that problematic direction, and then he gets the raid suit which literally allows him to fulfill his "secondary" dream of being able to be invisible and peep on women in baths. He used it twice already to do just that in Part 1 and then later visiting the prostitute area of Onigashima during the Raid.
    Except now, when presented with the idea that he might actually hurt women if he keeps using the Raid suit, he destroys it, in a way rejecting that perverted side while still upholding the "chivalry" that makes him unable to ever hit or fight a woman. I'm sure he'll still be somewhat of a pervert in the future but I think now that his "secondary" dream is officially and forever dead, not because of circumstance but because of his own choice, we'll start to see a new angle to that "perverted" side where it's more based on being a "sensitive ladies man" like how Senor Pink was portrayed or the way Pudding sees him whenever he did impressive heroism like rescuing Pound from Oven at super speed.

      I can see that. Personally, I like him with his code and his character. Does it mean that he makes things difficult at times for himself certainly, but following one's principles can be difficult at times. Anyone can follow their beliefs when there is no difficulty or risk in doing so.

    Then fanboys go on and say One Piece is not well written. I think it was the great David Mamet who said most people can’t really tell what’s good or bad writing. They just know how they felt. I think the feelings for Sanji-- after months of haters and so called fans claiming Oda hates Sanji( An infantile notion, claiming an artist hates his own creation) without giving Oda time to payoff the arc that began in WCI. Oda contrary to new narratives now, IS a calculating writer. This is not a series where one must expect immediate change every chapter, and twist after twists or death willynilly. Most of these OP narrative are easily debunked with a little careful re-reads. He has the trappings of certain plot mechanisms and character development in play from they begin and from when he has devised them. Here in this chapter, we saw that in full view. Kudos to Oda. Btw is anyone here a graphic designer for cheap? Starting analysis channel soon. If Zoro is the Right Hand of the King- Sanji is his shield. He would consistently put for his life to defend the crew at any risk to himself.

    Zoro and Sanji defeat King and Queen
    Zoro's medicine wears off, and all of his previous injuries accumulate all at once (thriller bark callback)
    He sees Sanji not as himself
    He begrudgingly fights tooth and nail through the pain of his injuries as he prepares himself kill his friend, because fulfilling Sanji's wishes is worth Zoro risking his life for.
    Zoro, with reluctant resolve, puts his sword in his mouth, and through gritted teeth, and pain in his voice says "damn it.." as tears fall from his face.
    Sanji has flashes of horrible childhood memories from his brothers paired with scenes of himself committing atrocities as a Germa warrior of science. He wants to die after seeing himself fall so low.. then we see his memories shift to ones with his true brothers.. Luffy and especially Zoro (maaaaaybe quick flashes of the rest of the crew too).
    Zoro is about to swing. Then, Zoro's memories (first person) with Sanji are shown.. highlighting their friendship throughout the series.. and in that moment Zoro hesitates... giving Sanji the time he needed to revert back to his old self.
    In Post-Wano, they don't outright share their inner turmoils with each other. Instead, Sanji will playfully bicker to Zoro that he was too unreliable to handle the task that he gave him. And that he wouldn't have been able to beat him anyways. Zoro will blame the medicine and/or call him a shitty cook, then threaten to cut him.

      Thats not how acting works, an actor needs to learn and understand their character. But it needs to be their understanding in order to make it good. The tricky part the cast needs to do is to find an interpretation of the character on their own that adapts Oda's writing in a way that satisfies the story and audience while also bringing something new to the performance. The directors should be the ones to pay more attention to these videos so they can guide the actors as they work their own craft.
