did you just see the newest sbs where zoros family tree was revealed?

Sanji has been through so much. He could've become bitter and angry at it all but instead he became an extremely kind person. That alone makes me respect his character

Oda gave this man two back stories, a dedicated arc, and literal character development (instead of just giving him raw strength) more so than the rest of the Straw Hats. How people think this means Oda hates him is insane.

He doesn't hurt women because his mom and his sister are the only ones who were soo kind to him, while he was bullied by his dad and brothers, he respects women

"Oda hates Sanji" Also -- Sanji being the MVP in almost every arc

Sanji is like the only straw hat to have two arcs basically centralized around him.

We've been getting a lot of Sanji content from a lot of creators lately and I'm here for it

Oda signs his name with Sanji’s eyebrow Oda gave Sanji 2 backstories and 1 whole arc Oda named Sanji’s restaurant “ Baratie “ based on a Restaurant called “ Baratei “ where Oda used to work part-time at Oda created Reiju a nice older sister for Sanji becus Oda has an older sister Oda shares a lot of traits with Sanji such as Smoking, Perviness and Gentleness ( Favorite foods too I guess ) It looks like Sanji is Oda himself and if so Sanji might end up with Nami as Oda married a real-life Nami

As an amateur writer, I confirm that the more you love a character, the more you mock him :D It's like you're raising a child and you don't want to spoil him too much.

The fact that people thought Wano arc is going to be Zoro's time to shine. And yet the said Arc was just a continuation of Sanji's character development, really proves the point this video is implying.

I saw another youtuber say "authors only torture the characters they like the most" and it honestly makes sense here

Sanji asking for help also is great character development regarding his self-sacrificial nature. Over the course of the series, we've seen that he's always so willing to sacrifice himself for everyone, and in WCI, we learn why-he has zero self-worth thanks to his traumatic past, and sees himself as someone whose value lies in what he can do for others, for being useful. He sees himself as someone expendable. Him asking Robin for help shows that he's finally seeing value in himself now; that he's finally realizing that his friends don't love him for what he can do, they love him for who he is.

Sanjis goal isn’t even to become strong or anything, yet he’s really strong

Something I really like with that black maria scene is how it works with how Sanji has such a low opinion of himself, and doesn't want to be a burden to anyone, so he's very self-sacrificing, and he's finally starting to grow out of that. When he and Zoro are faced with Kuma at Thriller Bark, Zoro sees himself as the protector of the crew, and the only other member who may rival how dangerous Luffy will be in the future. Sanji however is just willing to throw his life down because he sees himself as replaceable, he even tells Zoro "sorry, you guys will have to find another cook." When Sanji gets the letter summoning him to Whole Cake, he underestimates how much the rest of the crew values him, and how far they're willing to go for him, that's how much he doesn't want to trouble anyone else on his behalf, he thinks it's easy to walk away (which is why Zoro acts like a bratty teenager when he hears about it). Even Luffy screaming that he can't become the pirate king without Sanji wasn't enough to fully get through to him.

People should realize that one piece is more than just power scaling.Most of them think that ,if a character gets more powerups,then they are "favorite characters",but one piece is built different,back stories,emotions is what makes it a masterpiece.Sanji is my favorite character because of how wonderfully he is written 😁

About Sanji\Robin situation. It's both not so deep and layered at the same time, if you think about it. Black Maria specifically told him to call for Robin, not just any other person, so he clearly had no other option other than her. But him really doing that does show his character growth. In older times he'd rather die than put someone's life on the line instead of his own, let alone doing that to a woman. But this moment works not only for Sanji, but for Robin as well, like they get each other. They were in the same situation, they tried to leave the crew and trade their lives for safety of who they cherish, because they thought that the enemy is to big and powerfull and they are not worthy anyway. But the crew fought for them and won, showing that together they are strong, that they can depend on each other and that the crew basically cherish them back. But not only that. The whole thing "you can do what I can't and I can do what you can't" is displayed here. Sanji can never defeat Black Maria. We know it, crew knows it, Sanji knows it very well. And strawhats reaction showed exactly that, exept for Jimbe, because he wasn't with them for that long to know what's up. And Sanji know that Robin is strong and can handle it and he has other shit to do as one of the main fighters on the crew. That's like a direct callback to fight with Kalifa when Nami asked him did he really do everythig to win it, and if he couldn't then he could run away. Nami did what Sanji couldn't do so he would ba able to do what he could. Now Robin can do that for him, and she knows that the crew got her back as well. Him not fighting women is arguably not the character flaw but a trait, even Oda told us that in SBS. He just wouldn't do it and that the way he is.

7:02 i LOVED the scene where Sanji called out for Robin’s help and she came to help 🥺 Sanji understanding his value and Robin having the chance to help her family 😭😭 im finna cry all over again

"Sanji is a character full of love. Hell, you could say he loves too much" You almost made me cry at the end there. Sanji is my favorite character so this video was like music to my ears. I especially loved how you explained that the young Sanji took Zeff's ideals to the exreme cause of his childish nature. Many people forget that Sanji, even now as an adult, has this childish, Luffy-like side to him. A favorite small moment of mine is on Skypiea when Luffy, Chopper and Usopp are playing around in the clouds, Zoro and Sanji are watching them and talking like two adults... Then Sanji throws off his shoes and jumps in like "YAHOOO" lol. I just fucking love how versatile Sanji is, there's just so much to talk about and dissect. Anyways. I hope you make more Sanji videos in the future! Subscribed.

Oda dedicated a huge additional arc, 500+ episodes after Sanji’s introduction to the crew, to further exploring his backstory. He hasn’t done that for any other Straw Hat. There’s no way he dislikes this character.

Sanji asking Robin for help, especially coming off of the rest of the series and Whole Cake Island specifically, meant a lot to me as someone whose favorite Straw Hat has always been Sanji. He’s hardly, it ever, asked for help himself in the entire series, only ever been quick to show up and offer help to others and sacrifice himself. It’s so wonderful seeing him finally have the strength and confidence in people to ask for help when he needs it. It could be self-reflection after relating to a lot of Sanji’s history, but I for one was so proud of him 💙

I never understood why people hate that Sanji asked Robin for help. It’s the characters acting in character. I understand some of the disdain for Sanji due to his gag sometimes falling flat, and coming across as creepy every now and then. But him not hitting Black Maria and asking Robin for help should never be used to slander Sanji, it’s not even embarrassing.

As a major Sanji fan, this was very well articulated! It's a shame many people try to sleep on him as a character cause he doesn't get ALL the "zomg amzballs" moments, but one CANNOT argue that he continues to get development throughout the story, be it in small subtle character moments or off hand dialogue to major key moments that decide an arc, and that's what make Sanji such a special character; he's multifaceted and can work in basically any kind of situation. I love all the SHs, and that includes Zoro lol, but Zoro can only really work in so many type of situations before something seems out of character xD

Absolutely agree with you!! I could talk about my dear Sanji for hours because I fell in love with OP way back in the Baratie, with his farewell with Zeff, so Sanji will always have a special place in my heart 💛 But yeah, saying Oda hates Sanji just because he gives Zoro all the good fights makes no sense, their goals are so different; Zoro's dream is directly related to being strong so it makes sense his character development has more to do with fights and strenght, but Sanji's dream is about a mythical sea, he is a chef, he doesn"t have to get the best fights because his development does not completely go that way. And that's why their roles in the crew are so different too imo, Zoro asserts his place with fights and supporting Luffy in his role as a captain, but while they are not fighting? During long times at sea? I can see Sanji being way more useful and resourcefull than Zoro in everything else, my dude can be as useless as Luffy sometimes XDDD Finally, besides the great importance Oda gives to food, I think Luffy said that about Sanji leaving because his biggest passion in life is literally food, and who provides food for him? Sanji. Food for Luffy is not only a passion but literally his fuel (as everyone else yeah but you get me hahha) So yeah, Sanji is such a well developed character; his journey from self hate and doubt to full acceptance of his role and importance in the crew is amazing! No doubt he is Oda's little prince 😭💛 Ooor maybe I'm rambling too much and making no sense but I can't help myself, I love Sanji and seeing soooo many character analysis about him lately fills me with joy, so thanks for the video!

Sanji deserves all the love in the world.

Sanji has always been one of the best characters Oda has created; people from the West, especially the States, are too prick and immature to understand the magnitude of Sanji as a character 👍It makes sense why that misunderstood meme about Sanji became a thing well after the time skip because that's when One Piece finally became popular internationally. Zoro fans from the West and Sanji haters often time don't understand anything about Japnese culture

I’ve never understood why everyone thought Oda hated Sanji, to me i always thought he loved Sanji the most lol. Mans got two whole arcs for crying out loud

Knowing how Oda writes...... Sanji's line of "....if you don't take me in, it won't be long before I'm causing more trouble than the rest of these guys put together" with Kuma could possibly be foreshadowing how powerful and important Sanji would become by the end of the series.

personally for me i think odas favourite straw hat the one luffy wear on he head 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sanji has always been, is and will always be my favorite strawhat. I think there's a trend of hating him and people love hopping on the bandwagon. Anyone who has read the manga for what it is would realize that Sanji is not only one of the most complex strawhats, but also one of the most reliable, empathetic, value-driven, coolest strawhats. I almost feel like the gag was made to nerf him a little so he wouldn't be too perfect, and even then I still find it funny from time to time. Probably because I grew up watching anime and I'm used to it as a gag in pretty much all of shonen

As the president of the Sanji fanbase, I want to thank you for spitting so much truth.!!!

The idea that Oda hated Sanji has always been absurd to me. Aside from Luffy, he has the most character depth. Even getting his own arc and extended backstory. I always felt like Sanji was Oda's self insert character and Luffy was his representation of the ideal figure. I like how you talked about some of that with a lot of detail. If anything, it feels like Oda hates Zoro at least after the timeskip. When he randomly compared Ryuma to Luffy was what solidified It for me lol. He refuses to give this guy any decent character moments or meaningful developments. He also forgot how to make him cool. Who calls himself the King of Hell bro 😭

About the "help me Robin-chan" scene... Yes, I definitely agree it's unironically the most courageous, noble, but also natural moment in One Piece, that only Sanji would've ever been able to pull, in addition to staying in character. (To those who say Usopp could've: nope, Usopp cares too much about his pride and self-esteem, remember?) However, I'm not quite sure this scene is enough to silence those who say that Sanji sucks... I've heard plenty people saying that was the most ridiculous moment in One Piece and mocking Sanji along with the rest of Onigashima's side characters. I guess I simply wish people were a little more observant instead of categorizing every of Sanji's actions, even the very best of them, into their negative fixed ideas. Thank you for this amazing video, Sir. The truth had to be unveiled, and I had given up trying to explain how Sanji was the best-written character to anyone in any community. There's just too many of them who don't want to listen and who want to keep reducing Sanji to a useless pervert. But thanks to your video, there's a chance I can go back into the melee. I can keep defending Sanji by sharing this video, in addition to sharing it to my fellow Sanji appreciators as well.

Don’t forget that Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world and the strongest pirate crew at the time all fell apart once the cook of the crew was killed. For Oda the chef is the life blood of a pirate ship

People that thinks oda hates sanji, base their arguments on powerscaling. From what I've noticed from twitter zoro die hard fans exagerate every move zoro does and since there is a huge community that loves zoro, certain silly exagerated feets are wildly spread and some people took advantage of that to harass sanji fans. So sanji fans are trapped into comparing zoro and sanji when it comes to fighting scenes only, neglecting storytelling and character development. Sanji's lacks in fighting scenes compared to zoro in the post time skip, so that's why I believe certain fans started doubting oda ans his treatment of sanji

Melon Tee, Merphy Napier and now this video? What's up with the Sanji agenda these past few weeks? 🤩🤩🤩 Let's go!

Adding on to your point in 18:45, In the chapter where the other half of the crew arrived at Zou in Chapter 810, it was named Curly Hat Pirates since Sanji was leading the crew for the time being.

Sanji's self-loathing and low self-worth was another reason the black Maria scene was huge for Sanji's character. Zoro didn't let Sanji give himself up for luffy because he didn't want any of the crew to die but also because Sanji had very little self-worth. It's probably a result of his initial upbringing under Germa. Before whole cake, he would've thought that it was unnecessary for anyone else to get involved just for his sake.

Think about this: Sanji is a character that gets part of his depth from his backstories and is granted a place in the story that parallels the 2nd strongest position in "Wings of the Pirate King" It's crazy to think people hate him like, he gets the deepest backstory and also gets to rival Zoro the character who was literally born to be strong and "Has the will of a Conqueror" Just wild, Oda The GOAT

Oda gave him two arcs, almost strong as zoro (with ambition being WSS) Sanji is a cook. He has the most character development in the crew since timeskip. Tbh i think SANJI is his favorite strawhat or maybe character.

Sanji is like oda drawing himself in it, so whenever you see him making fun of sanji or sanji seems to be like a clown, that's when oda making fun of himself so..

excellent video! I always thought its sad how people who hate on Sanji based only on strength and powerscaling (usually Zoro fans) fundamentally misunderstand One Piece and dont look deeper beyond what they think is cool. (even tho Sanji very often gets too be cool, as you pointed out) There are other things just as or more important than strength. Sanji's story is more about the power of kindness and he is shown being clever and tactical... and on top of all that he's still one of the strongest physically. I dont understand how people would ever think he is weak and hated by Oda. He'll always be my favourite

I usually ditch One Piece KZfaqrs for all their propaganda against Sanji while over-glorifying Zoro & prioritizing strength on the crew I hope the community will one day look beyond a character's power, feats & strength of ideals, and just appreciate the entire cast, because one day, all their paths will coalesce at the finale of One Piece and we'll all say about your favourite character, "I'm glad they were there."

This is sort of unrelated (but not since this is about Sanji) but I feel like Water 7 / Enies Lobby has some particularly good moments, that if you stop to think, show how much he actually cares for the crew despite his frequent sarcastic comments and gags where he says he only cares for the ladies; when Usopp abd Luffy were fighting, he was the one who cautioned Luffy and Usopp to calm down, and even struck Luffy, his captain, saying with obvious distress not to say something he'll regret. It was he who instructed Chopper to "pretend they were just talking to themselves" about the upcoming Aqua Laguna to warn Usopp; and it was he who, when the sniper was at his lowest in Enies Lobby told him that its okay: Everyone has things they cant do. He needed to find what only he could do. And then Ussop saved the whole dang day by taking out Spandam's entourage so the others could catch up. I think that despite saying he doesn't care about the dudes, in his own way he's really considerate.. even more than the others were. Hell, when you take into account his backstory, feeling like the weak one who doesn't belong..dude probably understood what Usopp was going through more than anyone.

If you think oda hates sanji you definitely don’t know one piece

As an ultimate sanji stan I don't tbh hate any other character. Zoro is cool i like him. But why tf it's always zoro stans who disrespect and hate sanji so much like??? I don't get that. Us sanji stans, we just want ppl to just stop hating on him unnecessarily and idk how some ppl's minds work who stan Zoro. Look I'm not saying it's everyone in them. Sone of zoro stans are sensible too but tbh HALF of them make fun of sanji and keep disrespecting him or any other character just becuz "zoro is cool and manly"

7:21 this drawing of Sanji here is really interesting and here’s why First thing I noticed is that Sanji’s outfit here pretty much looks like what you would get if you combined crocodile’s arabasta outfit with Doflamnigo’s outfit that’s what you get And also the other thing is Sanji holding guns now this is particularly interesting because Oda actually drew Sanji with guns A lot even in the main story and the reason why is probably because Oda still loves his original concept of Sanji of him being a gun slinger instead of a kick master

"Can money satisfy your hunger" What a great phrase to say . Baratie arc is my fav arc of all The beautiful portrayal of scenes full of iconic moments. sanji is the best character of one piece. we can see in comments there are no kids with stupid nicknames and pfp...you need to be mature enough to be a fan of sanji

Sanji's character development isn't over yet, we still have that memory Pudding removed.

As a hobby writer, when you really like a character you treat them like shit do they can overcome every obstacle, becoming more complex and stronger all the way

I usually find with a good portion of authors that the more they like a character, the more trials and tribulations they’ll put them through. Period. Some authors are more aggressive with this and it may come off as bullying or ‘hateful’ but characters are the toy-box of the story telling world. It’s an oversimplification maybe but the most loved ‘toys’ are the ones who go through the most wear and tear.

this video is great! i always hate when people dont realize that zoro and sanji can coexist

So true Sanji is THE BEST WRITTEN CHARACTER in anime/manga world hands down. Thank you so much for making this video. And you explained it so well. Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I'm crazy one piece fan too. Sanji, Robin & Luffy are my all time favorite characters.

Zoro and Sanji are two sides of a coin. I love both just as much for different aspects

Sanji's kindness is always overshadowed by him simping for women, but rewatching the One Piece, he cares for guys and girls similarly First he cooks for Gin and never blamed him for bringing Don Krieg over. Never, not even once. When Zoro got so hurt, at Arlong Park Sanji kept trying to stop him from fighting. Many times Sanji comforted Usopp about feeling weak. And man, did you see how soft he is with Chopper? And also how he prevented Luffy from saying the wrong thing while fighting with Usopp. Anyway, after watching closely, I just fell for Sanji more, the details Oda put into Sanji's character.

Legendary video and after chapter 1107 this video is proven true once again!!!!!!!!!

i really hope people understand sanji's character as much as you do ! Good video bro 🌊🔥

this is wholesome man i realy enjoyed the vid and you makes me love sanji even more.❤

ngl sanji is my favorite straw hat. i have cooking as a hobby, and i think his fighting style of only kicking is insanely cool, i always liked him since his introduction. i always kinda liked the way that he treats women (not the simping but the fact that he never hits or insults them) the never wasting food thing is awesome too

Sanji was already my fav but after watching this video i am proud to be a straw hat fan

You have managed to summarise my similar thoughts in a great and articulate way, thank you

Thank you so much for this video. You articulated everything about Sanji perfectly 👏🏽

Sanji is my absolute favorite character for the reasons you mentioned and more. However, I can understand why a lot of people don't see him in the same light, especially after the timeskip. Fishman island was really bad for him, I'd go even as far as saying it was almost a character assassination. Compared to all the other strawhats who appeared much stronger after the 2-year separation, Sanji is the only one who looked "pathetic" and without any real character progress. Now, of course, the arcs following this made up for it but a lot of people couldn't get past that impression. Pre time skip, Sanji was the cool, smart handsome cook who always saved the day, and seeing him go from that to Fishman island Sanji made the contrast even harsher.

The argument about oda hates Sanji is so forced. Like for real, if I'm a mangaka, I would not waste my precious time drawing 2 backstories, one whole arc for a character I hate. An author who hates a character could easily kill them off or make them less interesting. But oda literally made Sanji a complex character. The hate train on him is obviously from biased Zoro fans. Like why is it so wrong for op fans to like both of them???? Y'all are stupid.

It's Zoro fans who always try to downplay Sanji like they have a personal grudge with him... 🗿 I am a Zoro fan aswell... But I like Sanji too... But I hate when I see... People comparing Sanji like... Zoro can do this better... Or Zoro > Sanji... I mean they're just fictional characters stop that hate just coz Zoro and Sanji are Rivals... Zoro > Sanji (A bit in strength) But Sanji >>> Zoro (Writing) Sanji is far well written than Zoro and that's true... Instead of fighting just appreciate Oda sensei's work...

I love how oda forces it's readers to rethink their face value assumptions

I'm so glad the algorithm suggested this video to me. 👏Yes! 👏Yes!👏Yes! 👏 Thank you for preaching Sanji's gospel! You made me love him as a character even more, I didn't think it was possible. 💛

I’ve always seen each straw hat as someone with a main skill and a subordinate skill. Usually the subordinate skill of one character is the main skill of another. Just as Usopp was the subordinate ship right until Cranky came on as the main one, Sanji has a subordinate spy raft skill which is usually taken over by Robin, which makes what happens on Wano even more touching.

Your longest video but it really grabbed me to the end. I dont want this video to end you can talk about Sanji for hours bro I'll still watch it to the end. ✊✊

sanji has literally been my favorite character since he was introduced

Since Sanji is the wings of the pirate king that allow him to soar, it would only make sense if zoro was the sword of the pirate king that will cut down everything in it's path

Please make more sanji videos I loved this one so much

Thank you so much for this 🤧 As much as I love ALL the crew members, Sanji has definitely been my favorite ❤

thanks for this, and please continue to do so 🧡

The Logic sample in the intro has me ready to subscribe to you right now haha

I find it hard to believe that a writer as dedicated as Oda could put this much effort into a character he hates

Sanji has been my fav strawhat since He was introduced and this video completely reaffirms it! I felt He was done wrong since wci but this gave Me way better perspective. Giving Sanji justice and putting respect back on his name well done ❤

Thank you so much for this. I love Sanji, and I also believe he is one of the best characters in the whole series. It's kind of sad that the fanbase doesn't understand him at all, and disregards the depth of his progression, and the multitude of ways he displays his history. An almost perfect character for the series. Especially considering most people get stuck up on the surface level reading of "he's a perv and it's getting annoying", the fact that you made this video as a tribute means a lot. I hope more people delve into just...the basic psychology of heroes. It's not hard at all. Just read something other than One Piece and then you'll appreciate it more, I promise you. Characters like Sanji is what makes OP top tier for me. Not the action, or how "cool Zoro is" (which he is but cmon...1075 chapters and THAT'S what's keeping you reading guys? Powerscaling?) Anyway long story short thanks for doing this. It means the world. (all this to say I'm also a simp like Sanji so... I been feelin defensive lol jk unless?)

Nice video! One piece and Yugioh are my favourite animes from my childhood. So it is nice to see a one piece video with yugioh references like the music or the space gift TCG card

Sanji disrespects woman because he WORSHIPS women, one some level he sees women as divinities because as a young child his mother and sister were the only ones who showed him any kindness or affection of respect. At the same time Sanji's early childhood and to a lesser extent being raised by Zeff means Sanji doesn't value his life or dignity anything like as much as he ought to.

I just started one piece. Just met Chopper and to be honest, I love this anime so much and I hate how much I’ve held back, I’ve been spoiled a lot, but even then this anime is too good for me to care, and Sanji’s character is just too amazing of a character, his fighting his attitude, whenever he’s serious, I just want more scenes of him fighting due too how Real he is

You are good! Make more Sanji videos in a month or two.

Sanji's inportance is actually emphasized by that one chapter/anime episode named "The Chore Boy and the Chef" a vhapter literally titled after the two

“Oda hates Sanji” also Oda: gives Sanji his own arc

Why does this video not have more traction?? The big OP KZfaqrs always wank Zoro and under appreciated Sanji. This video proves ALL the haters wrong. Well research and put together, cheers my man!

these smaller channels got recommended to me a lot lately. hope you guys keep thriving. thank you susan😂

I like to think of the crew as different parts of a body. Helps you understand their roles more.

Fun video essay thank you!

On a Side note: It's kinda funny seeing him use morj's thumbnail when morj's video is actually praising Sanji in a similar way to this video 😂

THIs IS iT CHiEF I appreciate you for making this video I watched thru it all, def my favorite straw hat and I wouldn't even be surprised if it was Oda's! Great points man!

A common thing for writers is to go "I love this character I've made. I can't wait to put them through hell and back and give them an ass-load of trauma". I'm also guilty of this

Thanks for the video 🙏 It's great 👍 Also, I agree with you. Fans who like both Zoro and Sanji exist! Curly and Marimo are the best ❤️

Amazing video, congrats on 32k views (well deserved)

the moment when sanji called for robin's help felt so so good as a culmination of all of sanji's character development throughout whole cake island and beyond.

Her :”You must be a well written video essay on one of the best perverts in history if you think we f*cking” Me AF:

I think people thought wano would be Zoros Arc but it wasn't and it shows Edit: let me also add onto this and say when zoro fans realized that Zoro won't be getting another arc geared towards him and him alone, they became salty. Not to be fair Wano is far from perfect but for what it is I love it.

amazing video! you should do more Sanji video's (and Robinnn)

As an aspiring cook myself and a top tier Sanji fan I love the dedication care and research you put into this video essay. Hear this honestly felt like the purest form or validation for words I couldn't mange to articulate myself in the sense of why I love Sanji's character so much and I love even more that you keep thing as netural as possible trying to raise up both Sanji and Zoro rather than a good chunk of the fanbase who try to one up them. One thing I slightly disagree with, or I guess a better phrasing is one thing I think can be added, is Zoro's role with the crew to me is more behind the scenes as well in my opinion. You can say that he's the Mr. Prince of the Crew if you will. I agree that Zoro's role outwardly is to be right next to Luffy in the biggest fights; but at the same time I think that he serves the secondary role as the enforcer of Luffy's decisions. The biggest example I can provide would be at Water 7 when Usopp chose to leave the crew. Zoro was the one who reinforced the importance of Luffy and Usopp's choices telling Chopper not to treat Usopp aft the fight - though he didn't object to Chopper leaving medicul supples for him casue he still care about his well being - threating the leave if any one tried to bring Usopp back without him apologizing first and reminding Luffy that Usopp need to apologize if he wants to rejoin the crew. Stressing the importance of Luffy needing to stand by his word and decisions if the crew is going to hold together. If I were to compare the two I'd say Sanji and Zoro are the parents of the crew in a sense. Zoro is the strict firm but fair parent the the crew knew they can always rely on to get the job done. Sanji is the fun parent they can confide in and they know will all come through for them in the 11th hour. While not show much I feel confident in saying that, behind the scenes, Zoro is the reason the crew remains together and Sanji is the reason the crew remains alive. (Again not say that both don't do this I'm just giving my prospective of what I think of their characters from behind the scenes) Though i will say this, Oda love Sanji but - and I may be paranoid here - it feels like Toei loves to make fun of Sanji.

Sanji is the definition of kill them with kindness

Ppl out here insisting that Oda tortures Sanji cuz he doesn't like him rly have never written anything and it shows. Making you characters suffer means that you love them

I think a lot of people miss the point of One Piece and extensively focus on power ups and power scaling so they linger a lot on apparent displays of Sanji's weakness or the weakness of Sanji's opponents that he defeats as if that has anything to do with character complexity.
