Future Events When Sanji unlocks Conqueror's Haki, would that affect people's opinions on Sanji's character?

Thoughts?

He didn't reject her, she rejected him. The plot between Linlin and Judge was a sham, and she broke his heart when he found out that she was an accomplice.

This is why despite the fact that the arc featured him seeming to choose his family, he decided to save them because he actually can't. Sanji, without any doubt, would not have returned if Luffy didn't pursue him. This is where I can see some parallel with Ace, at least.
He literally rejected her upon their first meeting?
:seriously:
 
That was Sanji projecting and trying to talk himself into abandoning his own dream for the sake of Zeff, hence Zeff alluded to Sanji having the same resolve after Zoro vs Mihawk.


He didn't abandon his dream, he sacrificed his life to protect Zeff and his crew, the kind of thing we see CoC users do constantly.


Katakuri has been under BM his whole life.


What about Black Maria? His absolute refusal to hit her because she's a woman, even going as far as refusing to cover his body with CoA to not hurt her, shows his great willpower.


Zoro and Sanji knocked some sense into Luffy multiple times, does that mean Luffy shouldn't have CoC?

When did Zoro knock some sense into Sanji, btw? I don't remember this.
Apologies for the lazy reply but I already responded to most of these same questions.

Luffy has never once given up on being pirate king. To say that he couldn't become PK without his friends would only be giving up if he gave up on said friends. Obviously, we had WCI for one thing because he'd never do that.

:seriously:
And that was the end of it, right? He didn't want to marry her?

He didn’t. Her happiness was at best a consolation prize for him. Literally he told her that if he has to stay here the least he can do is make her happy and that’s how he would be able to stomach living like this.

At no point was this Sanjis desired option. To the end he didn’t want to marry pudding he wanted to return to the sunny
 
Well... No. If I disagree then of course I'll explain why.
Disagreeing with facts is your prerogative.

It's rude to try and pretend you're not though.

I see right through the "u mad zori" stuff and I can imagine that's where all this projection is stemming from.
I didn't have to say it. :suresure:

You keep trying to tag in Doggo to help you, but you gotta help yourself. Do you have anything to explain from your understanding of the manga?
I always @ people when I mention them or reference their post, that's just good manners. You "invited a response" but mine would be no different from @Doggo - which is to point out the obvious in that Harald contradicts your silly argument about subservience.

You keep running from the simple fact your position boils down to a disagreement with facts, not about them. :suresure:

Harald sailed under his own banner and Harald was a king. You can only have a rebuttal if you say these things are true of Sanji.

So why did her betrayal make him cry?

Do you think he would have ever made a plan to see All Blue if Luffy didn't break out to go get him?

Harald is Conqueror that offered his own enslavement enthusiastically and in all seriousness.

That's all that matters. The fact you keep running away from it just means you know you're cooked.

On more respectable forums with standards, where undesirables like @Doggo could never be mod, your kind of disingenuous, pussyfooting time wasting would be a bannable offense. :suresure:

Because if he couldn’t even live trying to make her happy, he had nothing else to live for. This isn’t even subtext like that was stated pretty clearly.

And as long as Zeff was still held hostage no.

Yes, so you're going back to the idea that offering himself is the same as being offered. Sanji was cornered by Bege and taken aboard before he knew anything about the reason why. He was beaten and chained by the Vinsmokes, and given a bride that he couldn't choose or refuse. He used the fact that Zeff was in danger without the belief that they could find a way to beat that plot.

Harald was stupid but Imu and the Gorosei knew he had to be placated, not disrespected, even after they'd taken out Rocks.

"He had nothing else to live for." Right. So as a conqueror, to whom are we comparing him?

A conqueror who sacrifices their lives for their loved ones?
You mean Ace? Oden? Gaban? Garp? Zoro? Rox? I can keep going?

There's no way you type this shit and think people believe you could be sincere and smart. :suresure: Shoo.

Talent is something you make bloom.

Dude is unironically arguing as if Harald had the upper hand at any point of this negotiation.
LMAO. :kobeha:

Harald is the one that wanted to make Elbaph join the WG in order to better elbaph's relationships with the rest of the world. It wasn't the other way around.
THey made him basically work as a semi-Shichibukai and attack pirates. He became a SUBORDINATE of the HKs.

And you want to argue that the WG was the one trying to appease Harald?
No wonder you bring the baratie panel as an argument.

Absolutely NEGATIVE reading comprehension. :lulz:

Dude will argue "but harald is king of giants" as if it does him any favors, but in reality, it favors our arguments that EVEN someone like Harald was still put in a "subservient" situation and it didnt stop him from being "coc worthy".
But, again. What to expect from someone that uses the baratie thing in almost 2026? Something that is "debunked" in the very same arc?
:funky:

Mfers complain about no "character growth" when "growth" for them is nothing but powerscaling gains and then go into fucking blue screen mode when a character growth happens in the story.
:kobeha:

Who would've thought that presenting challenging situations for characters to spin around and overcome is a thing, right?
Nah. We in the "aura farming" business. And any L is career ending. :Armstrong:

No worries, I could see after my reply that other Sanji fans brought up similar points and I get it can be wearing to debate with many people at once.

Sanji never gave up on his dream, I don't see it that way. He simply sacrificed his life, big difference. The fact he didn't sacrifice himself physically, doesn't mean it wasn't a sacrifice of his life. It wasn't about abandoning his dream, it was about doing a selfless act so the people he cared about could keep living/fulfill their own dreams. That was the whole point of WCI, showing his kindness and selflessness. He never claimed or implied that finding All Blue was too hard or anything like that, it wasn't about his dream per se.

What Luffy did for him wasn't meant to show Sanji lacked resolve compared to him, it only showed Luffy wouldn't leave his friends behind, no matter what.

You mean Ace? Oden? Gaban? Garp? Zoro? Rox? I can keep going?
Not the question. Which one of them had nothing to live for? Did Ace give up on WB becoming the PK? Did he lose interest in Wano or state he'd return? Did Oden give up on saving Wano? Has Gaban given up on saving Elbaf despite the hostages? Has Garp given up on saving Marines? Has Zoro given up on becoming the best or making Luffy PK? Rocks wanted them to kill him when he was possessed, did he stop caring about the survival of his son?
There's no way you type this shit and think people believe you could be sincere and smart. :suresure: Shoo.
I don't actually care what randoms on a Japanese comic book think about me. That's not why I post lol.

He did have the upper hand: nothing in the manga tells us that Rocks would have been wrong to believe that Harald on his side couldn't prevail. The endgame characters all understand that the strength of Elbaf is a factor in the final battle.

Harald was unfortunately a very bad judge of the long game, but that describes most characters in the series. If you want Sanji to measure up, you have to realize that the people who captured him had no actual interest in what he has to offer. Judge left without even understanding it.
