Still see many of those takes in this thread by Zoro fans who out of nowhere shit on Sanji or ask where hes at.
Neither side let's go, because Oda has them by the strings with the rivalry between the two.
It's a rivalry with gag moments.
The two will always compete but never fight each other to the death or some shit.
It's like a rivalry between siblings where each wants to prove that he's better than the other.
If people can't say it as it is and need to try hard to discard it, there's some form of insecurity involved at some level.
nah oda in recent years hasnt had anyone by the strings
could go through most recent 400 chapters in the story compared to pretime skip even their interactions have reduced.
the order of their opponents
growth as fighters is no longer predictable- see king , queen predicted matchup
competing for what exactly , higher bounty?
certainly doesnt seem like competing for the right hand spot, they simply arent fond of the other.
"It's like a rivalry between siblings where each wants to prove that he's better than the other."
valid but I see little of that rn but thats what people are fixated on. honestly getting boring.
most oda has done with that is the bounty gag this arc . really cant point to anything else.
insecurity is bringing up zoro when you discuss sanji .
and bringing up sanji when you discuss zoro .
