CoC awakening is obvious, that's not the issue. This is supposed to be a big Sanji moment right, butwhat Oda do? Have f-in Ivankov of all peoplw, or at leastand MMA version of him, be the tipping point to remind Sanji of hisself worth. Who the F is Ivankov to Sanji? There was never a major interaction between the two to justify this nonsense. That's why I said Judge would have been better. It could have been Sora with a bloody face, Zeff with a disappointed face, or abused child Sanji with missing hands, or adult Sanji being another version of Judge, or Stealth black etc... something meaningful. Instead what we got is a singing Ivankov... I'm not going to pretent that shit satisfying or even remotely impactful like it pretends to be.
A singing Ivankov smh... and i's something that happened in the past for Sanji too, meaning Sanji experiences that moment already so this is just another case of selective amnesia like the nonsense we got Zoro earlier.
Man, Oda is losing his touch. I don't even think AI could come up with stinking shit like this.
