What was even the point of the genie?

Imu is actually strong and has good mobility and unique skills for a good fight. Blackbeard just stands still, sucks you close, and throws a punch. He'd make a boring final fight.

Base Sanji, no eyebrow flip, no CoC yet, pushed back Imu's leg. G5 aCoC, New Giant Genie Form Luffy couldn't even make Imu budge. Conclusion: Sanji with CoC >> G5 Luffy

Makes sense. Douriki showed Sanji and Zoro were physically 3-4x stronger than Luffy. It's why Luffy needs his df to give him transformations that boost his stats. Even post timeskip, Sanji's base diable jambe matched Luffy's Gear 3 CoA Elephant Gun when blocking Big Moms punch in WCI. It's why...

I never viewed Sanji's "self-sacrifice" as a negative. Like saving Usopp & Nami from Enel, as if Luffy or Zoro wouldn't have done the same thing in that situation. Same with Thriller bark vs Kuma. Same with Doflamingo. Like Luffy tells crew to run away and fights Aokiji alone = Positive, Good...

Also for the Japanese translation in Julius' post: Gaban also emphasized something else. “自虐の危うさを抱えている You carry the dangerous habit of putting yourself down.” This doesn't sound like self-sacrifice. He puts himself down like when he said "Zoro/Jimbe would pull ahead" or something like that...

But Sanji's been doing that for a while now, since Wano at least. Is there even an example these last 150 chapters where he's sacrificing himself? Luffy's the one telling others to stay back and let himself handle it some chapters ago, and on Egghead too.

The translations changed from 1. Self-deprecating 2. Uncertainty (tcbscans) 3. Masochistic instability (Manga Plus) Some say it's due to self sacrifice, but Sanji's literally doing the opposite this chapter. He literally says he's choosing his own code over saving the kids and mothers, that's...

Sanji is some mixture of Martial arts, flames, haki, science, and Power of Love. With Sanji destroying the raid suit, he rejected Judge's science, and so I don't expect anymore science upgrades. Martial arts is probably done, haven't seen any new types of kicks in a long while. Haki upgrade is...

Franky & Jimbe are the non M3 heavy hitters. Basically look at what Emeth did to Warcury when G5 aCoC Luffy couldn't do anything. That will be Franky soon.

They don't need all 10 kids, did you forget the Ronya scene? That SBS also implied Zeff didn't have that chivalry (before the WCI retcon). Sanji's chivalry and real reason has become what WCI showed, which is Zeff's code. If Zeff said to kick women, that's what Sanji would do.

If the solution is "plot armor" for everything working out, then that should already tell you something is wrong. Kalifa didn't kill Sanji despite having the opportunity to do so, but plot armor means main character can't die so she spares him, bathtub falls on him, he saves Usopp, and...

No, he really hasn't.

Is Zeff more important than the crew to Sanji? Cause as it is, he's choosing Zeff's life over the crews in Ennies Lobby, WCI, Wano, and now Elbaf. Zaza can kill any of the kids in 1 second if not for plot armor. By the time he gets help, it's too late, they are dead. Only he could stop the...

As long as Sanji refuses to fight Zaza, the self-description of Sanji being "a helpless wreck whenever I face a woman" is completely accurate, regardless of him getting CoC or not. Even now, he won't save the kids or help the crying mothers getting beaten because Zaza is a woman that he refuses...
