Oda loves Sanji more, Sanji's character inspired from his fav mangaka Nobuhiro Watsuki 
General & Others Overall is Oda more of Zoro Fan or Sanji Fan?
- Thread starter pg13

As a writer myself.. I'd have to say Sanji. Authors like to erm... torture their faves. Watch them struggle, show how they get out of those struggles, build development, and focus on their story more. So Luffy and Sanji. Zoro gets powerups, and fights more, but his story is hardly focused on aside from goal. When an author doesn't develop their character much it's what we refer to as a literary tool. That's not hate for Zoro fyi. It's why I want at least some backstory for him, he doesn't have to be tragic or huge like Sanji's was, but just something to know more of who this person was rather than a blank slate before we met him. He built his motivations from the moment of meeting and a one-liner like a fresh D&D player to a session and it' sometimes irritating.
About thread's topic, let's take a look at canon and factual evidences.
One of the latest example is a SBS question regarding which DF to give to the SH.
- Oda gives Zoro one of the strongest mythical zoan DF, which enhances his ability.
- Oda gives Sanji a DF that not only doesn't fit many of his abilities, it also slow him down.
Another example is from an arc I don't like pre TS, Thriller Bark.
- Oda can make Zoro and Sanji both have a nothing happened moment together, as foreshadowing and example of why they're the Wings. But Oda only gave it to one of them.
Or, random examples from post TS arcs :
- Sanji's hate mostly come from his FI nosebleed, in the same arc Zoro oneshot arc main antagonist.
- Sanji is the one who saved Tashigi in PH, but she instead has a moment with Zoro.
- Sanji gained Viola and her info, but it got downplayed and nodiffed by Doffy. Zoro stalls an Admiral and showcase one of his greatest sword slash.
- Sanji's pairing got separated from him and memories erased, Zoro's pairing slept with him.
It's clear as day which one Oda favors, I don't know what this thread intends to do.
