Honestly Sanji was like my top 3 along with Kidd (I know) and Zoro. I loved Sanji and Zoro as a pair, to me they were both characters I loved being together and at the same PL. So when I joined OJ and saw all the Zoro >> Sanji posts, I went crazy. Debating everyday in defence of Sanji, makes the character grow on you. Eventually I started to dislike Zoro, as an extension of my dislike for Zoro fans. Again liking the character you downplay all the time...its very hard. So with Zoro it was love/hate....I only liked him again when Sanji was doing good. Anyways dropping OP and Sanji made me realise Ive stopped liking Sanji for such a long time, and instead ive only been arguing on the off chance he'll do something great...and I get my "I told you so" moment. Finishing Wano, is realising that moment will never come lmao.
Either way, Im pretty sure I wouldve become a Zoro fan had the tables have turned and everyone believed Zoro was inferior. It wouldve destroyed my equality headcannon.
Currently hate OP and Sanji, still like Zoro tho.
