Queen is still in a 2 vs 1 scenario against Marco, and he didn't feel he got pushed enough yet to even go Hybrid
No this is a terrible argument. The Sulong Dukes were about to murder Jack and he still didn't use Hybrid. Oda is simply not willing to show a character's hybrid form before his dramatic reveal.
Yeah, I no longer endorse a position that Sanji cannot face Queen solo because he's too weak.
This is not to say that I think he'll face Queen solo, but I've been convinced that it's serviceable from a powerscaling standpoint (unlike Nami vs Ulti).
This is flawed. Looked Stronger? If you ignore context, sure
Sanji looked stronger to me:
- He was unfazed by Hybrid Page One's attack.
- Page One was screaming out in pain from each of Sanji's kicks.
- Page One wasn't able to keep track of Sanji when invisible.
Base RS Sanji did not low diff Page One, but had that fight continued to it's conclusion, I can only see Sanji winning.
However, it stacking up for him to solo Queen is still unfounded .
I scale Base RS Sanji to
at least Elite Tobi Roppo level. The addition of Diable Jambe and Hell's Memories pushing him to Calamity level seems plausible.
Not to mention he will be scaled according to his siblings specifically Ichiji and Niji who base Sanji didn't show superiority to.
Not at all. None of the Vinsmoke siblings have:
- Sanji's named techniques
- Diable Jambe
- Hell's Memories
These are all just assumptions
Yep. But they are pathways Oda can take if he wants to make Sanji strong enough.
>Judge in the RS was completely dominating Sanji.
I don't agree with this. I haven't read the fight in a while, but I didn't get that impression. Do you mind sharing the panels that show Judge dominating Sanji.
Like I mentioned above, this pathway is still tied to his siblings.
Again no, as the Vinsmoke siblings lack Sanji's fighting style.
> You'd have to claim that RS Sanji would not only close that gap but also supercede it to the point of low-mid diffing Judge.
I think this is plausible. I didn't get the feeling that Base Sanji was significantly weaker than Judge.
> Base Sanji didn't show superiority to Ichiji nor Niji.
I agree with this. Other than in speed, I don't think he showed inferiority to Niji either. I think they were around the same level.
> You'd have to claim that Base Sanji would be able to low diff base Ichiji...same diff translates to when they put on the RS.
I think that's possible. See above regarding Judge.
>Now the most important point: RS Sanji getting knocked out by King in a single attack.
I agree with this. I don't think Sanji defeats King though, and well Sanji was only momentarily knocked out.
But you're right, Raid Suit Sanji was low diffed by King. Nothing suggests that he's currently on the level of Calamities.
Let's see if adding Diable Jambe or Hell's Memories to the Raid Suit will change that.
Do you think the above required assumptions have been implied by Oda in anyway?
I've explained my thinking earlier.
