General & Others Rayleigh is a mixture of both Zoro and Sanji

Looking at Roger's crew in the latest chapter 956?, I don't think we'd be getting direct mirror like parallels with the SHs. I mean Roger looks a completely different kind of fighter to Luffy, he's also ruthless which isn't exactly Luffy~esque but we do know that Luffy & Roger share some unique behavioral traits thus the similarity between the two. So even if there are similarities between the Roger Pirates & the SHs I don't think they'd be like for like.
You have a point with regards to Rayleigh sharing some similarities with Zoro & Sanji but I think we'd have to get to know a little bit more about Scopper to know whether he also shares some similarities with Sanji maybe even more than Ray does. Also not sure I agree with the intelligence parallels you drew up between Rayleigh and Sanji. Rayleigh is cool-headed, has shown good deduction skills and generally seems to have a good head on him but he's still yet to show to the tactical know-how Sanji has demonstrated time and time again which is what sets Sanji apart from the rest of the crew even in the smarts department. In that sense, he's not that much different from Zoro tbf.

This again? Sanji has nothing in common with rayliegh other than being a womanizer. Every thing else anyone can possibly being up are loose portrayals like hair or kicking once or being smart. Unless you are trying to make a perfect copy of rayliegh (which adding sanji to zoro still does not do) there really isn't anything else. There is never gonna be perfect parallels cuz there is never gonna be clones from different gens.
How come luffy zoro and robin are never brought up to make roger like zoro and sanji keep getting brought up for rayliegh?

Sanji has zero relation to Rayleigh. The only parallel that exists is between Rayleigh and Zoro, because they are both the first mate and vice captain to the Pirate King (or future Pirate King).
Regarding this bit:
Trying to say that Rayleigh is a mix of both Zoro and Sanji is an attempt to inflate Sanji’s importance to the crew beyond what it is to try and equate him with Zoro by putting him on a pedestal he’s never been on. The three most important members of the crew are Luffy, Zoro, and Nami. They’re the “hands”, if anything exists beyond simply a “right hand,” which it doesn’t. They’re the “triggers” of the story. Nobody supersedes those three.
Rayleigh being sweet on women and knowing how to kick does not make him a parallel to Sanji. Unless you’re also going to say that Rayleigh parallels Luffy because Luffy is also really damn good with his kicks.
Rayleigh is Rayleigh. If he has a parallel, it’s Zoro and only Zoro, because of the position they hold and their relationship to the person that they served in that capacity for. That’s it.

Gotta disagree you as there are similarities between the 2 and Nami is more 'head' than hand. She not apart of the circle of M3 for a reason. Both represent as leaders when Luffy isn't around and Rayleigh fight similar to them along with personality traits to boot.
So you agree Chopper over Zoro then if we going by who next to who ;).

Strength isn’t the be all end all. Just because Nami isn’t strong, or as strong as Sanji, doesn’t make her position on the crew less than his. The idea that Nami doesn’t display as much or more leadership than anyone else on the crew is false. The dichotomy is between Zoro and Nami, not Zoro and Sanji. Notice how in the major decisions dealing with the crew, Robin leaving, Usopp’s abandonment, and Sanji’s blackmailing, the two opposing forces were Zoro and *Nami*, before it came down to Luffy. Hell, most every major event that occurs in the New World as it pertains to the Straw Hat’s occurs with Luffy and either Zoro or Nami. The events we’re watching play out now are predicated on an agreement between Luffy and Law that *Nami* was a party to. Luffy cleaned up on Dressrosa and Zoro was his right hand. Zou showcases Zoro vs Nami and then we had a tradeoff between the two, and its Nami that takes the second most important role following until the end of WCI.
Strength isn’t everything, and sometimes the op community focuses on it *way* too much. The three most important characters in the series, or on the crew, are Luffy, Zoro, and Nami. They are the three senior members on the crew, the “triggers” as Oda called them, and the people that the story is most impacted by and have the most significant leadership roles.
This isn’t as good a point as you and the op try to make it out to be, really. You can talk about fighting styles, which is a real reach as it relates to Sanji, and I can just as easily say that Rayleigh parallels Jinbe because they’re both good swimmers. Or Nami because they’re both good navigators and like to drink. Or Usopp because they’re both good at sharpshooting (as Rayleigh showed when he destroyed the cannonballs at Marineford with the really small cannonballs).

first things first, I have not read this thread. these are my answers. pardon if it was already mentioned.
Rayleigh likes booze, Zoro likes booze. Sanji does not.
Rayleigh can talk to beautiful girls. Zoro can talk to beautiful girls. Sanji dies of nosebleeds and is perverted.
Rayleigh uses a sword. Zoro uses swords. Sanji cooks.
Rayleigh is the first to join the roger pirates. Zoro is the first to join the straw hat pirates. Sanji is the 4th (technically the 3rd).
Rayleigh is introduced having a naptime on a boat. Zoro naps on boats. Sanji cooks.
oh and before I forget it.
THEIR SCARS ARE ALMOST PERFECTLY MIRRORED.

I
Calm me when Other than Rayleigh is hyped and has actual feats
I forgot Mihawk is just Shanks's zoro , benn is Sanji
Shanks : Luffy
Mihawk : Zoro
Benn : sanji
Roo : jinbei
Yassop : Ussop
The gap between Zoro and Sanji is slim, same as Benn and Mihawk.
Roger had only 2 heavy hitters : Rayleigh + Oden who joined
(Bullet is non canon)
Luffy and Shanks have 3/4 heavy hitters
Lol
Rayleigh doesnt paralely Zoro
Rayleigh is VC, zoro isnt
Rayleigh has CoC, zoro doesnt
Zoro is too dumb and unskilled to parallel Rayleigh. Rayleigh himself pointed out how dumb Zoro will be to not catch the message easily.
Even Luffy is smarter than Zoro.
Zoro is just a dumber lone wolf version of Mihawk (mohawk is smarter version)

You said intelligence and since Robin clearly wins, you move the goal post now...
Tactician? Every crew member has been a tactician, according to Dressrosa, even Zoro is tactician - Tactics No.5, official chapter name.
Combatant and front liner? From intelligence to this? Did you forget that Robin has been front line combatant for years in Baroque Works? Front liner and combatant, just like Luffy and Zoro?
Zoro is an idiot... Lol. What an argument. Next Rayleigh-Sanji parallel you will bring up is they have 2 eyes or both breathe air...
Rayleigh isnt a kicker either, in case you missed it, he is a swordsman and your kicker parallel connects more Zoro and Sanji than Ray and Sanji. What SKILL did Rayleigh as kicker demonstrate, lol? He kicked, just like Zoro kicked?Rayleigh equally as efficient as kicker as he is as swordsman? Do you see what you type? Rayleigh as kicker doesnt exist, it is not a Sanji parallel. As I said, they have nothing in common.
Womanizer? The annoying nosebleed that scares women away is a parallel to a guy who enjoys women? There is a clear difference.
Lives with women for months is a parallel? Which woman did Sanji live with for months? Clearly a Franky parallel and nothing in common with Sanji lol. There is a difference between perfect parallel and having nothing in common.
There is no Rayleigh-Sanji parallel, they literally have nothing in common that you cant say for other characters who parallel him far more than Sanji does. This is usual Sanji fandom forcing things which dont exist...
