I wanted to make a thread about another great missed opportunity from Oda on Sanji's backstory
He could've made Sora suffer much more on Judge's hands, like, physically speaking, while tying that to Sanji's chivalry and refusal to hit women. Sanji's chivalry would hit harder because the trauma of seeing his beloved mom (the only person who saw and treated him as actual child back in the day) get beaten would be too much, alongside the fact that Zeff teached Sanji to despise those men who beat women and that Zeff himself would prefer to cut his balls off rather than see Sanji, his son, beating females (while Sanji reminds himself of what Sora had to went through on that regard), it would fit perfectly with the narrative that Zeff is his true father and Sora is indeed his mother, both whose Sanji shares similarities with. It would give that trait of Sanji the highlight it deserves in my opinion, although it would make his backstory more dark for sure, but after seeing Kuma's backstory i don't think that would be so dark anymore lol.
I know that, deepdown, Sanji not hitting women is also mainly a part of his love for Zeff, he doesn't want Zeff to despise him for real, but Oda could've had Sora, who is a women, Sanji's mother, the person who protected him back in the day and made so much difference on his existence, beginning with the fact that the pills she took made him be born normal, have the appropriate significant impact on everything about Sanji's chivalry. Missed opportunity
