Fanclub The V̶i̶n̶s̶m̶o̶k̶e̶ Sanji FC: The Prince of love

[Devilbat]

If Sanji became like Rayleigh I would lose a lot of respect for him. Sanji may love all the ladies but he'll be loyal to one. This is why his endgame is either Gerd as a proxy SaNa pairing without Oda violating the rule for no romannce between crewmates OR which I think is more likely given Pudding's capture by the BB pirates, is that Sanji and Pudding get together after Sanji realises his feelings for her after he remembers the kiss.

I'd hate Sanji being a cheater. I would be okay with him sleeping only if his partner is also cool about it, and if they're both sleeping around.

However, I believe Sanji being loyal but still a flirt is more likely, it doesn't change his main running gag, it gives an opportunity for its extension, and is more in character for him. Sanji's kindness is often emphasized, and since kindness usually implies high level of empathy, I cannot imagine a truly kind person being a cheater, because it hurts immensely the other party.

PoL vs CoC
Argument for Power of Love as strength progression for Sanji:

① Potential
- Stat Amplifier
Defense + Alpha (.vs S-Shark)
I don’t think folks realize just how crazy this feat was especially when you consider that the attacker was a hybrid Lunarian/Fishman who just so happens to be Jinbe’s clone.

Fishmen are reknowned for their strength and Jinbe’s basically the strongest fishman in the series at this point. Yet Sanji took full on punch to the forehead from Jinbe on steroids with his hands in his pockets & didn’t move an inch. This is a Jinbe that is confident enough in his strength to challenge Linlin to a contest of strength on WC albeit ultimately losing out, and was also able to send Linlin flying once in that very arc.

Beauty of this feat isn’t that it was from a Seraphim but rather a Seraphim with the base of the strongest fishman. Moreover Sanji did not just tank the punch with no guard, he completely nullified all of its momentum. Keep in mind that even an armament monster in Vergo was sent flying by PH Sanji several times. So you can’t really replicate this feat with just armament. It's certainly possible with an armament barrier but even then how many characters do you think can put up a barrier with their hands in their pocket and replicate this feat much less with just dura and endurane alone?

Now this is just defense what about speed for instance or even strength?

Sanji is already able to move "invisible" speed undetectable by a 1bil Yonko commander in Queen, what if he further amplfies that with PoL? How about his super strength from the Germa mods, what if he amplifies that with PoL?

Are these things possible with ACoC?


- Reality Bender
Attack + Alpha (.vs Kizaru)
This is another insane feat that you can't really replicate with anything other PoL not even the ACoC that is lauded on here as the bees knees is capable of it. Sanji quite literally defied the laws of pyshics by destroying kizaru's lazer with a kick shocking an Admiral who was so gobsmackked by it that he was talking about scrapping everything we know about physics and starting from scratch. What is so unique about this ability's potential is that it gives Sanji the ability to do stuff that shouldn't ordinarily be possible in fashion similar to Gear 5 in that Sanji's limits are only limited by his imaginiation or rather passion in this case. Now we've seen the limits of what is realisitc posssible with Sanji's main ability in fire in Ifrit but with PoL he should be able to give his fire characteristics which shouldn't ordinarilly be possible so rather than just heat Sanji might be able to conjure something like amaterasu. Flames that shouldn't exist on the plane of reality. With ACoC for instance Sanji will be able to increase the attack power of his flames but he won't be able to give it a special charaterisitc like PoL. Now think of this in the context of Imu's zombies, with CoC you can defo hinder regen temporarily but with PoL if Sanji is able to conjure amaterasu type flames he will be able to do lasting damage to the immortals in a way that even ACoC can't. Flames that can hurt immortals but also can't be put out




- Characteristic Buccaneer Ability
I've already touched up on this in my "Sanji master/origin race genes" theory which I posted on here but if Sanji is established to be able to use a characteristic ability of the Buccaneers. It's mean he's able to use characteristic abilities of two of the strongest ancient races in the series, which inveitably brings up the question of what Oda is cooking up here with Sanji. What's next, an ability of the 3-eyed clan?


② Narrative
- Characterisation.
The "Love" theme has been at the core of Sanji's character from his very introduction in the series, so Sanji quite literally being able to translate love into combat it quite a perfect fit for him even more so than any other character in the series.
This is quite literally Sanji's G5.Just like freedom is rooted to the core of Luffy's character and G5 gives him the ability to freely express that. "Power of Love" gives Sanji the ability to do the exact same thing.

Then there's the fact that Sanji was a result of Sora's sacrifice and her love for her children and also that said love and humanity which Judge rejected and was the prequsiite for his perfect solderiers allows Sanji to enhance his Germa abiltiies in a way that far surpasses those so called perfect soldiers. Narrative-wise it is the perfect conclusion to Sanji's Germa storyline

Lastly, this is something that Morj has already brought up several times when asked whether he thinks Sanji will awaken CoC which is that Sanji has rarely gotten an haki developmemt post-ts and I honestly don't think there's any of us that can deny that hell a lot of us lamented that going into wano and been scratching out heads as to why Oda's gone that route yet Oda suddenly decides to go that route and gives Sanji ACoC? I'm not saying it's not possible but story-wise it feels off no? Wouldn't it make more sense for Oda to continue on the unqiue strength development route he's embarked on with Sanji post-ts via PoL or am I tripping?


Not sure I was able to get my point of well enough but personally these are some of the reasons why I think this unique PoL ability is much more fitting and exciting as power up for Sanji going forward.

Blud cooking right now!!

I think that the three races Bucaneers, Lunarians and the Three Eyed Tribe are all races hunted by the WG because they have been bestowed the ability to use a variant of the PoL. Lunarians can conjure flames, Buccaneers can override physical limitations and the Three-Eyed Tribe have the Voice of All Things. The only thing is how this will enable Sanji to deal with the holy knights/ gorosei?

Sanji exhibits similar abilities to all three,
Lunarian - fire conjuring and physical constitution
Buccaneer - override physical constraints
Three eyed Tribe - lady radar, high degree of emotional empathy

I don't think Sanji's manifested abilities of the 3 eyed tribe just yet as he seems to be awakening abilities of the ancient clans in sequence. First it was King's and then now it's Kuma's and then next could be Pudding. Sanji already has impressive Observation so there's a lot of potential for him there with regards to heights he can reach with that with a tribe that seems to be naturally blessed in it.
Keep in mind that Pudding who's a non combatant for the most part was able to see Sanji move when he saved Chiffon on WCI. These guys also have VOAT by default when they awaken.

Interesting thing about what Oda's doing here with this gene thing in general is that it's competely eliminating the need for Sanji be a top class haki expert as he's capable of doing similar things without it. Wanna buff your armamnet? Standard route would be to learn barrier Haki but Sanji has the exoskeleton to cover for that and is now able to stack even that with PoL. So chances are that Oda could have Sanji tackle even this problem of hurting immortals with an alternate route which would be in line with how he's written in post-ts and PoL by definition should be able to allow Sanji to do that (i.e. an ability that allows Sanji to do what would ordinarily be impossible to - destroy light, hurt immortals etc.)

I think that was just his exoskeleton, not PoL.

Imo it's clearly PoL as it's being referenced here

 

[Royal Kick]

Imo it's clearly PoL as it's being referenced here

I mean Sanji wouldn't really know how PoL works (he doesn't even know it exists), he just wants to sound cool. That could be foreshadowing, but it doesn't mean he literally used it in this instance. We can see his eyebrow flipped, which only happens when the exo is activated. We also can see bruises on his face from the impact of the punch, which is not consistent with the idea of a barrier blocking the punch.

 

[Dark Knight Sanji]

Imo it's clearly PoL as it's being referenced here

The fact that Sanji can turn his mods on and off is related to the Power of Love being able to do the impossible. So even his Germa mods fall under this power, which is why Sanji calls it the Power of Love. This was inherited by Sora whose love for her kids was so great that a poison (which she believed would reverse the mods) was able to rewrite Sanji's DNA despite the Germa scientists believing that would be impossible. Sora not having any scientific knowledge (that we know of) shouldn't have been able to reverse it based on thr poison itself but its her love which allowed for at least Sanji to be shielded.

So if Sanji can just bend reality to his will wouldn't that be just way too OP? Is Sanji more important than Luffy then? It seems to me there needs to be a limit otherwise Sanji would just neg diff everyone

He doesn't have to know an actual ability in PoL exist in order to use it though.
I mean this scene quite literally mirrors Sanji destroying Kizaru's lazer.
Sanji says light doesn't hold a candle to "love"
It wasn't obvious in the first scene with S-Shark when we first saw it but the Kizaru scene makes it clear.
His eyebrows are the same in both scenes as well.
I never said Sanji used a barrier btw, what I said was that barrier haki could potentially replicate what Sanji did.
Again Sanji didn't use Haki, he used love.

Thoughts on this are pretty similar and it'd would check out narrarively as well ^^

This is the main issue I also have with PoL as well, it's too OP lol, so Oda will most likely nerf it somehow.
One way would be to give it a time limit like G5 or maybe make it have a sever physcial cost or restrict it to base + alpha type abilities.
For example Sanji wouldn't automatically be able to become a gaint just because he wants to but might be able to outpace Kizaru coz he's already has speed in his locker so basically Sanji's base speed + alpha. Oda could go a number of different ways to restrict it.

You talked about using a barrier with his hands in his pockets, which is why I was confused about the barrier thing.

Yeah, I know he doesn't have to know about it to use it, I'm just saying him stating he used it doesn't mean he used it because he's not aware of PoL anyway. I think his eyebrows are flipped in both scenes because he used the exoskeleton in both scenes, but only in the second scene was the exo not enough to explain that feat. We know it can protect his skin like an armor, which is enough to tank S-Shark's punch effortlessly, but it doesn't explain how he deflected a laser. My guess is his super genes might make PoL more potent somehow, like a perfect blend of science and the power Sora gave him.

I dont get why blud is so pressed against PoL being a thing. We literally have Vegapunk alluding to it being a real thing that goes beyond the natural order of of things.

I literally said multiple times he has PoL and argued with members who think it's not a thing lmao. Me saying I don't think he used it against S-Shark doesn't mean I think he doesn't have it.

No worries ^^
Tbh I don't think any of Sanji's brothers are replecating Sanji's feat against S-Shark.
Imo they get folded. There's no way mid tier characters are casually burshing off a Seraphim's attack.
I get what you're saying with regards to the default characterisitcs of the exoskeleton but Oda adding love there in addition to the second scene with Kizaru I think makes it clear it's PoL.
Moreover Sanji has never direcly referenced the Power of Love prior to that scene.

Maybe they can't, but there's always the possibility his exoskeleton is stronger than theirs. He trained his body for years and made it insanely powerful before he got the exoskeleton, whereas his siblings relied on the exo from day one. Maybe building strength and tolerance to pain pre-exo gives him extra benefits. I mean even the speed gain he gets from the exo is totally unmatched by his siblings'.

But what you're saying isn't impossible either, I guess. If his DJ has something to do with PoL, it means it gives him a durability boost allowing him to withstand the heat of his flames. So the exo being boosted by PoL isn't of the realms of possibility.

 

[Rumble]

Imo it's clearly PoL as it's being referenced here

This is true enough Sanji said the words, but we also know he had a similar feat on Wano feat against Queen.

Spoiler: ch 1028

Perhaps Power of Love is why Sanji could overcome the negative effects of Germa and perhaps that's why he doesn't make a distinction between Germa and PoL, even though Germa modifications have no present explanation for his physics defying ability against lasers.

Spoiler: ch 1031

I say presently, because Raid Suits are designed specifically to maximise the user's abilities and Sanji's Raid Suit functioned around manipulating light, so it's possible Oda will reveal that Sanji was intended to have some light-based and/or manipulation ability like the Stealh Black figure - revealed 100 chapters before Sanji destroyed the Suit.

Spoiler: ch 931
