Rival is to have the same feats, fight agaist one vs one and have the same level(and when one of them is stronger the other tried to surpass him).
Sanji doesn't have the same feats or representation than zoro, he never has fought agaisnt zoro and he never has tried to be stronger than zoro
It's a gag rivalry prominently.

A true rivalry is what occurred between Shanks and Mihawk, even Roger and Garp and Zoro vs Mihawk although more on Zoro's side.

They still parallel them, so even though Oda never showed us the two of them fighting against each other, they still share the same relationship and parallel that Dorry and Broggy have.
Except they don't as they've never had a serious fight
Luffy and zoro have competed in catching bigger fish so what and unlike sanji and zoro they have had a real.fight

Sanji and zoro fight to the point where sanji does not mind poisoning zoros food according to oda. Sanji told zoro he would poison his food and put razor blades in them. Zoro told him to and he did just that. Then oda himself goes out to say what makes such scenarios interesting, is the serious nature of their fighting. Yet every fucking zoro retard think sanji and zoro clashing are just playfully doing that . Anyways

Wowww so Sanji fans finally admit Sanji the scumbag poisons his own crewmate, tells a superior to kill himself, beats the shit out of his captain, sexually assaults his female crewmates, and on top of all this is given a pass for it :crazwhat:
But we are “Zoro retards”

Have Sanji and Zoro fought over that? Anyone can argue.
Nami and Luffy argued over the logpose in Fishman island. Does that mean Nami and Luffy are Rivals :gokulaugh:
They don't parallel two rivals.
That's the difference, Zoro and Sanji didn't just had a challenge about who got bigger dinosaur, they also had a parallel with two rivals.
The giants see themself in Zoro and Sanji.
The fact Zoro and Sanji has never fought seriously doesn't magically delete this.

I see a lot of times people saying that people like Sanji and Zoro who don't get along are not rivals, but well this actually goes against one of the most famous stereotypes in Japan.
Japanese people always see people who don't get along as rivals, and this Is showed in numerous mangas, It has even become one of the classics of mangas having two guys who don't get along and who are considered rivals.
First example:
1. Near and Mello.

2. Beerus and Quitela.

3. Natsu and Gray

4. Yuno and Asta

5. Yami and Jack

6. Naruto and Sasuke


So let's check our information:
Mello said that he doesn't get along with Near because they've always been rivals.
So we know that rivals don't get along.

Second stuff we know Is that rivals can fight for everything.
People usually say that Zoro and Sanji are not rivals because they compete in stupid things so they're just gags, well that's not true.
In mangas rivals compete for everything, I mean even Naruto and Sasuke competed about who could eat faster, Beerus and Quitela did stuff like armwrestling and they share similar strength in combat, Yami and Jack from Black clover literally did not only armwrestling, but also a cooking challenge to see who was the best, and they also share similar strength.

Look this Is Yami and Jack from Black Clover challenging each other at doing stuff like cooking and at the end they want to beat each other:
An other video of them doing a stupid challenge but then having a serious fight:

If those characters share similar strength and have similar relationship that Sanji and Zoro have, why shouldn't our Sanji and Zoro be considered rivals?


If you ask, yes, japanese people see Sanji and Zoro as rivals, even in their pubblicitary spots they talk about them as rivals:



PS. Of course Zoro's a bit stronger than Sanji, we know that, but it's just like Mello (Sanji) and Near (Zoro).
You forgot one in your list of rivalries:


:cheers:

Whenever did you see me deny sanji poisoned zoro and put razor blades in his food. Oda intentionally added it for his own reasons. Sanji tells a superior to kill himself ?? Which superior was that??sanji beats the shit outta his captain yes this is not the first and would also not be the last. Same way nami beats the shit outta luffy . Sanji sexually assaulted his female crewmates?? How is sanji going to a mix bathroom a form of sexual assault?? I guess all those men and women there were sexually assaulting each other . That is why the word retard spells great for yall

Its basically a fucking bath house where both women and men bath together. Sanji kicked luffy ,?? He did same on skypiea and enies lobby . He groped namis breast . No at that moment that was sanji and he can touch whatever body part he wanted clown
