Fanclub The V̶i̶n̶s̶m̶o̶k̶e̶ Sanji FC: The Prince of love

[PuckTheGreat]

Personally my predicitions for Sanji are:
Sanji v Sommers (as a precursor for his climax matchup) -> proves he can hurt immortals
SH & Loki v DR Luffy / Evil Nika

Nobody's getting DRed as that's just way too much for the Straw Hats to handle when they already have Imu there, 2 HKs, 2 Domi Giants who were worth 1.8B even WITHOUT the amp, and more.

Imu's control ovwr Gunko cannot be complete as long as Brook is there. And he hasn't started playing an instrument yet. The Domi Giants and Kilingham nightmares are giant fodder. Dorry and Brogy are probably fighting each other. Imu must act quickly or fight by himself everyone noteworthy on the island, including Gunko

SH & Loki v DR Luffy / Evil Nika

DR Luffy would be fitting. Not a huge fan though, he is bad enough as main character

 

[Hiragaro]

I see DR Sanji happening only for unlocking CoC, because writing wise this is 1 out of maybe 2 scenarios i could see happening for unlocking it, where it wouldn't feel ''too off''...

I seriously doubt Imu's getting taken out of the plot anytime soon tbh
Eventually he'll do something to stop Brook from countering the mind control

I cannot emphasise enough how much I hate how most of you think.

SH & Loki v DR Luffy / Evil Nika

DR Luffy legit would make less than no sense at all

If everyone is susceptible to DR then how can Imu be defeated? And why are people so trigger happy with Domi Reversi anyway

Luffy, Sanji, Loki, who's next

Also, why are we acting like Oda isn't very likely going to have the Nika fruit and/or Loki's fruit have some type of hax that reverses DR anyway?

Yeah there's a pretty high chance Luffy is immune himself and also a fairly high chance that he's able to undo it with the Drums of Liberation

Loki also probably has something similar

To me i don’t think DR Luffy works just plot wise because Luffys power is being freed, so him being controlled by Imu feels weird.

Not DR Loki?

 

[Rumble]

There are thematic reasons for why DR would and should work on figures like Rocks and Xebec, but not Luffy.

Love is a major theme of arc.

Thriller Bark has never been more relevant.

I don't think Oda's being subtle about the direction he's going.

A lot of y'all want DR Sanji because you think it would lead to some good drama and/or you think Sanji is still hung up about Germa despite making peace with it in Wano. idk how many times Oda has to subvert expectations before y'all learn.

The Evil Sun god has been foreshadowed for quite some time now, if anyone's going to get out of Domi Reversi it has to beNika.

It's going to be either because Nika is the counterpart to Imu and has the ability to reverse Domi Reversi and possibly HK contracts or because if some power of love bullshit where thanks to the crew's love for Luffy he frees himself from the mind controle.

Pretty sure I’ve made a comprehensive post about it on here before but to summarize.

- Luffy is due an L
- Evil Nika has been referenced several times this arc already.
- There are a lot of parallels btw Elbaph & Thriller Bark & in that arc we had Oars Luffy v SHs.

On the point of everyone being susceptible to Domi Reversi, not sure why Nika would be an exception. Like with most devil fruits there’s probably caveats around Domi Reversi & ways it can be avoided. We already know that you can avoid if you prevent being sandwiched by two Domi Reversi victims so there’s probably some way to avoid the forced contract and knowing Oda it will most likely be CoC related.

I think DR Luffy could be the most interesting story wise actually, and the SHP not abandoning their captain like the Rocks pirates has great potential. DR Loki is kind of forced, because the SHP and even the audience isn't really that connected to Loki.

But it's definitely still Imu as the villain of the arc, he's too tied to all the tragedy in the flashback with Harald and stuff. It would be like if Fujitora took over as the main villain of Dressrosa, or the Big Mom Pirates at FMI. It's always the character who did evil shit in the long flashback.

 

[Devilbat]

That's an interesting discussion you're having! I created a thread with a poll to attract more people for this convo, quoted and tagged you all.

Personally, I hate the idea of Sanji being DR'd.

Also, I think there should be a limiter on this power for Imu. Otherwise, he can just DR the whole world and be done with it.

 

[Hiragaro]

DR Luffy would be to OP to be honest. SH's wouldn't stand a chance, even with Loki involved it's kinda hard to believe they would be able to beat Luffy. Unless Oda powercreeps the shit out of Loki - as he already did to be honest.
