Chapter 1031 gave Sanji quite the focus imo
Problem is some moments of Sanji vs Queen happened in different chapters
It's not as much as you think in that chapter vs what Zoro got in 1033. But you are right about the 2nd part. I did a quick comparison between the fights and dedicated focus for each (I count the multiple hit skirmishes as 1 attack btw, also some non-named attacks to make it fair).
Sanji vs Queen:
- 1015: 5 pages; 1 attack from Sanji, none from Queen
- 1017: 3 pages; 1 attack from Sanji, none from
Queen, went hybrid
- 1019: 1 page; no attacks from Sanji, 1 from Queen
- 1022: 3 pages; 2 attacks from Sanji, none from Queen
- 1023: 3 pages: 2 attacks from Sanji, 2 from Queen
- 1028: 9 pages; 1 attack from Sanji, 5 from Queen
- 1029: 3 pages; no attacks from Sanji, 1 from Queen
- 1031: 6 pages; 1 attack from Sanji, none from Queen
- 1033: 1 page; No attacks from either
- 1034: 14 pages; 12 attacks from Sanji (10 are part of his Ifrit Jambe barrage), 5 attacks from Queen
Zoro vs King:
- 1022: 3 pages; 1 attack from Zoro, 1 from King
- 1023: 5 pages; 2 attacks from Zoro, 2 from King
- 1027: 6 pages; 2 attacks from Zoro, 3 from King
- 1031: 2 pages; 1 attack from Zoro, 1 from King
- 1032: 7 pages; 3 attacks from Zoro, 3 from King
- 1033: 15 pages; 2 attacks from Zoro, 5 from King
- 1035: assumedly 14-15 pages (if 17 page chapter, 1 is the cover story, and at least 1 page is Queen's defeat), at least 3 attacks from Zoro, and at least 1 from King (there will be more)
Summary:
-
Sanji vs Queen: 48 pages (3 chapters exactly worth), 20 attacks from Sanji (but again 10 of those are the last 2 pages of Ifrit Jambe), 14 from Queen.
- Zoro vs King: 52-53 pages (3.5 chapters roughly), at least 14 attacks from Zoro, at least 15 from King
So while these look similar, again remember that most of Sanji's attacks were the last 3 pages. In reality, he has less than Zoro, even though his fight started earlier and he threw at least 3 attacks (only one named) before Zoro came back in.
But Zoro already got at least 1 full dedicated chapter (1033) before this chapter. Sanji did not get this, it was split around alot. So it's understandable I guess.
The main issue here is Zoro has less chapters Vs. King, yet had more pages/content. This means that the fight is in fact more focused and not split around, unlike Sanji vs Queen
