Regarding raid suit, Germa and exeskeleton topic.
Raid suit had more meaning than just be a powerup. I find no issues with Sanji wearing the Raid Suit
Him getting the Raid Suit was the culmination of the Germa story in WCI, and starting it's own subplot. It was very well executed.
1. Germa did cover for the strawhats and help them get away from WCI. Judge was implied to have seeds of change, especially after seeing his uncaring sons. Germa as a whole changed their outlook on Sanji.
So I assumed that, even though Sanji still didn't like Germa, some of the ice was slowly but surely breaking.
2. It kinda showed Sanji's will there, if he had to help his crew he would even take help from his estranged family. I liked that writing.
Something other than just a powerup should have come out of this, or the entire subplot was a waste of time.
This sub plot was alive for 3+ years (? don't remember, point is it's been there for a long time), and it just ended abruptly. Nothing came of this Germa sub plot, other than showing Sanji's stubbornness to stick to his personal code?
I was initially thinking that the suit was a symbolism for partial reconciliation with his family, irony of him realizing one of his two dreams through Germa etc. Then it got turned into a dilemma for Sanji's personality. And then, seemed like we're getting nothing out of it and he just destroyed it. So, why introduce Raid Suit? Why introduce Germa biology? Just to give him a powerup via exoskeleton? It buffed up his stats, but I was hoping for something more out of this than just a powerup.
Germa genes awakening was random and abrupt. There was no indication that the raid suit did anything to Sanji's biology or genes. The indication was that the suit uses tech to give him invisibility (through some form of camouflaging), gave him flight and increased speed/agility through the air pumping shoes etc. Nothing about it affecting genes or biology was hinted at.
Also because his backstory was about his mother sacrificing herself to ensure the gene modifications from Judge wouldn't happen.
Seems like a convenient excuse to get rid of the suit from LOda to me!
