Trauma does not dissapear, it heals, it becomes easier.
Yes, and for Sanji to heal meant no longer allowing the source of his trauma - Germa - to define his relationship with his body.

The dispute here is that room temp IQ morons think that this acceptance means Sanji no longer has/uses Germa, which is an illiterate take that undermines the entire point of this storyline.

Trauma happens and getting past it in a healthy way does not mean undoing what has been done, or in this case cannot be undone.

The genetic modifications happened, and they're permanent. The difference is Sanji has come to a healthy space.

The Germa modifications don't mean his body belongs to Germa.

Understanding that is what allowed him to redefine the relationship through self-love and become stronger for it.

nah i don't think it is something he can just get rid of at will

but the "Mode" is valid point since there's the eyebrow thing

But Oda is really inconsistent.
There is no mode.

There is no inconsistency.

Sanji can use Germa speed regardles of the flip.
Sanji can use Ifrit regardless of the flip
Sanji can tank absurd punishment regardless of the flip.

The eyebrows reflect his EMOTIONAL STATE ONLY.

Oda's a madman. Sanji kicking Killingham, rushing to where he sent him then kicking again was beautiful, same for tossing his cig and reaching Killingham as his wife gets roasted. Sanji's speed is remarkable, same for his defense and offense. His ACOC looks terrific and his flames look great.

A wonderful chapter for Sanji's strength but still some respect for those that made him who he is, mentors+family and enemies alike. Sanji crushing Longinus was also good.

Next chapter will be the end of Killingham. Oda's given so much Sanji greatness. I'm happy.
There was a spoiler question of why Gram wasn't being broken and I'm glad I didn't work off an assumption. Obviously, something so deeply tied to the power of Imu could regenerate. Looks like the power is even greater than the Omen boost itself.

Yeah, makes sense that Imu's weapons wouldn't permanently get wrecked so them regenerating lets Zoro and Sanji overpower/destroy them but Imu can just take them back later.

Are you saying his eyebrow will never flip again since he's mind is resolved?

Then this chapter we see him going through an emotional turmoil and the eyebrow FLIPS.


WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?
I’m sorry to put it this way but emotional turmoil is a shite explanation for the eyebrow flip. Sanji is not going through emotional turmoil every time his bloody eyebrow flips. You are also quite literally ignoring the fact that the freaking eyebrow is a representation Germa. It is what Oda utilized to show us that Sanji awakened his Germa genes & what Oda used to show us again that Sanji’s sense of self has overcome Germa.

One ting ill say that that disagrees with Sanji not being in exo mode when his eyebrows are normal is the fact that he can use ifrit in that form but keep in mind that exo was only a requirement for Sanji on Wano to be able to use ifrit coz his body wasn’t strong enough to use it otherwise. Sanji being able to use it now without it could simply be an indication that his body’s gotten strong enough too without it. Keep in mind that Sanji wasn’t always able to spam Diable even prior to his gene awakening till his body got strong enough to do so. So it’s not a stretch to assume that Sanji’s base got stronger after Wano.
 
Then what the fuck do you think the point is of this page?


You dumbasses argued for the longest the flip was not a reflection of his emotional state, so fucking explain it.

Explain how he'll use Ifrit going forward without the exoskeleton?

Where does his speed to disappear go now if he no longer relies on Germa?


Y'all can't pick and choose what the fuck stays.

Speed boost isn't going anywhere.

Neither is the exoskeleton.

But you WILL NOT see the eyebrow flip again.
It seems he decided to rely on his kings haki then exoskeleton.
