People smelled that oda would copy it and it turned out right
Damaji is just the blueprint

I don't know if it's an ironic thread or not. Btw, Oda tends to repeat himself. The strongest example I can do is how an arc is repeated with the same events over and over (the crew goes on an island, they found the bad guy, the bad guy win for the first time, there is the "time bomb" deus ex machina, the crew win and then escape from the island). Of course it's not always like this, there are exceptions or variations to the formula. But considering this I can see the similarities between Sanji and Shanks but I would not consider them important or like there is some deep meaning sincerely.

It's just one of the archtyypes the lost Prince

[Sir Yasheen]

Sanji will sacrifice his legs for the protagonist of One Piece Next Generations

 

[Rumble]

Sanji existed since Oda wanted a counterpart to his samurai character.

Along the way, he got turned into a Shanks-like to mirror all Shanks like.

The parallel with Shanks are particularly strong by design, but he’s not the only one.

Ace, Law, Sabo, Loki is and Yamato also have strong overlaps and parallels because they’re all Shanks-likes too.

I think those people are kinda forced, Sanji and Shanks parallels were so strong i thought Shanks would train him in the time skip.

 

[MonochromeYoru]

Both have connection to rats

 

[Cruxroux]

- Both are weaker than their supposed rival.

 

[centurion]

Both have connection to rats

Sanji was cooking for Shanks all along

Spoiler: RAT

 

[Roronoa-sama]

yes, both lost the way of the sword

 

[Cruxroux]

This parallel has more chances of being true than Law/Whitebeard parallel.

 

[centurion]

What did Oda mean by this?

Both have swordsman rival

 

[kekaro]
