General & Others A lot of one piece Sanji Fans

Sanji vs Queen was the worst fight in Wano and one of the worst Sanji fight in the serie.

Most of the panel time was dedicated to the Vinsmoke plotline, which isn't a bad thing per se but it becomes one if it is the first fight in a decade for a main character.

There was no real struggle since their was a terrible matchup, speedster vs whatever slow non martial artist Queen is.

The double pages and the finisher were awful. At the end Queen was so focused on Sanji he couldn't even tell us he was using blue flames.

IJ is a cheap power up that looks exactly like DJ and would have been more suited as a post TS DJ (just like after the TS Luffy started using stronger and visually different G3 techniques instead of gigant pistol).

And if it wasn't enough, Queen's hybrid is the worst one we have ever seen and, although his nickname is the plague, he never used a single plague during the fight.

i generally have a slight peoblem with the lenght and difficulty of the fight. Overall I rank both cracker and Katakuri as stronger than any clamity.

though the lenght of Zoros fight bpthers me it was way too short and Oda could have made that fight longer and from the behining rather than have killer and Zoro fight Kaidou rather than the fanservice of that fight. some people have theorized that Luffy, sanji and zoro will be weakened in elbaf giving the rest if the crew time to shine. if thats the case than it's fine.

my only problem with Queens fight is queen barely used any of things that made him dangerous. also he should have been just a titan boa with dinosaurous attachments.

Sanji vs. Queen was really good and the best Sanji fight so far imo.

People just had really high expectations because of Luffy's fights with Cracker and Katakuri.

Sanji vs. Queen wasn't the main fight of the arc and it wasn't even a Luffy fight. People can't expect every fight against a yonko commander to be 12 hours long.
The problem was never length, it was choreography.

Sanji vs Queen was nothing more than an internal battle with an external opponent. Sanjis greatest weakness came from him dealing with internal struggles. And that was done well at least for one piece standards.

The problem was the external fight was lackluster. Look at Sanji vs Bon Clay and Sanji vs Jabra. There was a lot of cool back and forth choreography that we didn’t have with Sanji vs Queen.

It was still one of the best fights of Wano, but when most other wano fights also suck that’s not saying much

The problem was the matchup

Sanji's a speed based martial artist

Queen's a fat cyborg

It was never going to be great
I find it a lot more satisfying to see Sanji kicking fat and big characters than small ones, so in this aspect I thought the matchup was perfect.

The fact that the fat and big character in question was the same one who did this to Luffy made it even better:

Sanji vs Queen's length wasnt its problem. It had a good amount of length and interesting narrative surrounding Sanji. The feats were also good for both sides.

The problem was the PIS within the fight....and also the lack of good CQC.
The problem was Queen never ending shenanigans. Dude joked his way to a massive loss :suresure:.
Dude got caught up too many side shows to try and get into Sanji's head. Queen really lacks a killer edge which is surprising given he is a long standing beast pirate member.

I don't get why Oda always makes Sanji's opponents slow as shit when his best attribute is his speed. Why not showcase his speed against someone insanely fast to show how good Sanji's is in comparison?

And while I liked the callback to Sanji's childhood w/ the Osome stuff, it was stupid that Queen just disregarded Sanji in favor of assaulting some thot

Glad to see one of the biggest Sanji fans saying this.

The choreography was shit.

If you like the Sanji/Germa plotline you can probably get some more enjoyment out of the fight, but I don’t. All I liked was getting rid of the RS.

Everything about “Evil Sanji” was the definition of cheap drama.

The finale was rushed.

Oda made Queen a moron. Funny villains are fine, but that still has to be contrasted by them being serious threats at the end of the day. Queen just kept being so, so stupid. Blowing himself up, ignoring Sanji at the end of the fight, endless reaction faces.

I think for how long we’ve been waiting for a real Sanji fight, and how big a moment this should have been, beating a YC, it has to to down as his worst in the series.
