I don't get the point you're trying to make here. What does Oda not remembering some of the slurs he writes them say to each other have to do which their rivalry?
A '' Rivalry '' you claim based on them insulting and fighting each other as what that dude showed to Oda :
Oda : they don't get along , i don't even remember when He insulted his friend like that.
if he is true about this rivalry he would have taken it seriously lmao but instead he said i spammed this shit without even remembering when that happened .
No rivalry again got mentioned
anything Oda himself confirms here that the two have a volatile relationship, which actual negates the point you're trying to make of them being "just nakama".
• Yeah they can't get along in the same crew that's what oda said in the end they are Nakama not rivals unless you show me where Oda said that .
• I will give an example lmao :
we are workers in different departments and Me and you can't get along in the same company One day someone came to our company and asked our relationship in the same Company :
They will say :
We are Workers under the same company despite the fact that we aren't getting along .
So it's the inverse Oda is denying what you think tho
Sigh...first and foremost does the "Nakama" ting you are referring to exclude just Sanji in the relationship diagram or group Sanji together with all the SHs? coz if it is the later, I'm not sure what your point is here ^^". The SHs including Sanji are Zoro's Nakama or are they not?
Sigh if there is a special relationship between Zoro and Sanji why didn't they mention it in the relationship case ? Like absalom and Sanji or Zoro and Mihawk ? If there is a Rivalry why wouldn't they mention it in the deep blue databook ?
Also again bcoz two people are nakama doesn't mean they cannot have a rival relationship ^^". Rivalry in its simplest form is basically active competition with another person and that is what Zoro and Sanji do on a regular basis. It isn't even simply just a case of "I don't agree with your opinion and you don't agree with mine" in their case but also "I refuse to acknowledge that you are better than me".
How is this not rivalry? ^^"
• Oda :
They can't get along
Why oda didn't say they are RIVALS ?
• Deep Blue databook :
Nothing major between Zoro and Sanji and a special relationship never got mentioned in the databook .
You :
Rivals
long as Zoro doesn't have a relationship diagram exclusive to Sanji (excluding the SHs) that simply says Nakama, I don't get what the point is. Moroever, I'm not sure why Oda has to explicitly state something so blatantly obvious.
Lmao the databook destroys that notion itself if you think about it if there is a special relationship
They Would Have Mentioned It why wouldn't they ? They are talking about a character's relationship with others !!!
that's the point though they didn't give Zoro and Sanji a special relationship but he got mentioned as a NAKAMA WITH OTHERS SO HIS RELATIONSHIP IS NAKAMA NOTHING ELSE OR THEY WOULD HAVE GIVEN A SPECIAL CASE FOR IT .
OBVIOUS OR NOT THEY GAVE AN OBVIOUS ONE FOR ROGER AND WB WHY WOULDN'T THEY DO THAT FOR SANJI AND ZORO ?
Yes, I acknowledge that Zoro & Sanji's volatile relationship is a recurring gag in one piece, but it doesn't change the fact that, the rivalry is there. The fact that the gag exists in the first place is coz they have a rivalry with each other. Moreover it is not like Zoro and Sanji just slur at one another and that is it. They actually compete and try to 1 up on another on every single ting lol. Even ignoring the petty things we have a clear example of both competing against each other on little Garden with regar
Yeah a gag scene where they compare each other but in the end they start fighting like Buggy and Shanks they did that when they mentioned the bounty difference .
• Zoro : Enma
• Sanji : i will kill you mosshead
So they argue all the time because :
Oda :
They don't get along
Not
Oda :
They are rivals
Out of curiosity what does "Serious Rivalry" even mean?
*Coz it's gag that makes us laugh doesn't mean the fictional characters themselves are not serious about it
Rivalry in OP takes a great meaning though bro check Shanks and Mihawk :
• They won't
insult each other like
clowns :
- Mihawk : Lank lool
- Shanks : Fraudhawk lool
- WB : big mustache fraud lool
- Roger : half Moon beard lool
So do u see these guys doing that ? Or get mentioned in a sbs doing that ? Or Oda spamming this around to the point he forget if they said that ?
• They get hyped along side each other by characters when he gets mentioned the other gets mentioned along side him :
- Shanks when he met WB , Mihawk gets mentioned .
- in Zoro Novel :
The WSS title gets mentioned , Mihawk and shanks got brought out .
- when WB gets mentioned Roger gets mentioned along side him to get hyped :
VC / MarineFord ......
• Another Thing is the rivals don't get their portrayal destroyed by Oda and he takes this shit
seriously seriously seriously :
• When Mihawk came to Shanks they argued against each other but neither one got his portrayal sidelined .
• Mihawk a shichibukai one of the three great forces alongside Yonko which Shanks one of them .
• Shanks wanted to declare his war against Marines who agreed to end it but check what oda did before he did that shit he made Mihawk going back so
Shanks's declaration of war won't affect Mihawk's portrayal so ppl can't say that shanks declared a war against the Marines who agreed to stop it and shichibukai and Mihawk was there but didn't do anything so he is below him .
• the same thing about Roger and WB :
WB has a title of strength whilst Roger has a title of greatness .
They are getting shown as equals and who reigned an Era each one has one .
• Finally some special things that oda does usually between rivals:
Mihawk and shanks have the same birthday
( same day / same month ) and the same panel time through out manga ....
So this is what we mean by Rivals let's not talk about a canon material that confirmed that for them .
• Deep blue databook :
• Shanks to Mihawk or mihawk to shanks : RIVALS
...
.......
