Slipton checking In after my first ban. I hope you all didn't miss me too much
Sanji vs kizaru is impending. Oda will be forthcoming in this next chapter or two. Make your bets in this thread and let me know what you think.
Sanji has been shining this entire arc
Out here instantly teleporting an on guard zoro. Casual af while saving edison
Has zoro befuddled as fuck
Then Goda decides to make zoro and luffy 2v1 a seraphim. While doing negligible damage with their puny attacks.
Meanwhile sanji with just a little fire and exo...
This pattern is reminiscent of ennies lobby and post thriller bark. As many of you know already... post ts has been sort of a mirror of pre ts. With many arcs sharing the same theme or themes. For example we have the kilo fruit and the ton ton fruit as enemy's pre and post ts. Wano and ennies lobby shared so many elements you could say oda copied and pasted. There's so many examples it's ridiculous.
If we follow this logic then post ennies lobby was thriller bark. An arc where sanji shined above all other strawhats at the time. :queenhear:
In thriller bark sanji fought the no2 of moriahs crew. The leader of the general zombies. (Hence the commander of zoros arc opponent too)
Sanjis shadow while in a weaker body was still fighting evenly with zoros zombie general body. (Generals are 4 ranks stronger than the fodder)
Sanji beat absalom with the lowest of difficulty but still took a beating on purpose in order to protect nami.
He was even stabbed through the heart and spine
:zorothink:
He then went on to outperform all the strawhats combined in a clash with oars. Notice it's a named attack from oars too...
they sent shockwaves across the entire island. Show me anyone else doing this feat in the entirety of pre ts
Meanwhile zoro who just had another magic sword powerup. Had only landed a few blows. Impressive sure. But not as impressive as sanjis raw power and ability. The author went out of his way to highlight sanji this arc.
If this pattern continues as the precedent indicates it will. We should see a huge clash for sanji soon.
He's already outperformed the crews main fighters and has recieved a consistently superior portrayal to the other two. Going solo vs seraphim. Surprising zoro. As consistent with thriller bark.
This would also be a nice opportunity to start to showcase that he's the biggest threat in the crew for the marines and make good on his promise.
I personally believe sanjis next oars parralel will be kizaru. But this time he won't be stabbed through the heart before the fight. Which could result in an interesting clash.
