Sanji vs zoro

 

[Elder Lee Hung]

1. Roger v WB

Pussies.

2. Mihawk v Zoro

Not a rivalry, Mihawk has never viewed Zoro as an equal.

3. Luffy v Zoro

Also not a rivalry, Zoro acknowledges Luffy as his captain for his strength.

4. Garp v Roger

Pussies.

5. Shanks v Buggy

This one is accurate.

No, the only good rivalry in this manga is Aokiji and Akainu.

All rivalries in One Piece are disappointing and can barely be called so

 

[Unlimited Rulebook]

I think Oda purposely avoids promoting/continuing rivalries. There are skirmishes but no medium or long-term developed rivalries in OP.

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

Roger vs WB barley trivial , what they even do to be rival . Whitebeard didn’t care about one piece but act like spoiler provider.

zoro vs mihawk- not really rival , more like vegeta to beerus but child friendly rainbow version

‘Luffy vs zoro- no rival since zoro accept luffy as captain.

Garp vs Roger- sure rival, more like enemies . Garp want to capture Roger. Roger want to escape and be free.

Shanls vs buggy - more like gag rival? Then no really serious rival since shanks is cool with buggy

‘’One piece doesn’t really show rivial expect luffy and supernova but it doesn’t count cause law and Kidd are secret luffy cheerleader.

Zoro and Sanji definitely, it's the most consistent one and the only one Oda actually cares about

 

[Luffydom56]

Shanks and Mihawk 👌

 

[Mathias]

-Garp and Roger is better but even then they aren't really competing for the same thing. Garp was just trying to put him behind bars while Roger tries to avoid being put behind bars.

Would be great if Garp had been curious about finding out the truth about the void century. But that poor bastard never asked his pal Roger...

 

[L55]

Half your list is nonsense but even then it made me realize how there aren't any solid rivalries in One Piece. Oda is terrible at handling rivalries.

Teach and Luffy has potential but they hardly interact.

-Zoro and Luffy aren't rivals by any stretch.
-Mihawk and Zoro lost steam the moment Zoro became his pupil.
-Roger and WB too friendly with each other and not even competing for the same thing.
-Garp and Roger is better but even then they aren't really competing for the same thing. Garp was just trying to put him behind bars while Roger tries to avoid being put behind bars.

Mihawk and Shanks has potential but that's all it is. Akainu and Aokiji is the only no nonsense "rivalry" in the series if you can even call it that.

Roger considered garp a crew member

 

[Lor D. Coast]

Roger considered garp a crew member

 

[ThunderSupernova]

This honestly makes perfect sense

Stop considering all rivalries as if they were the same

Stop considering rivalries as if they meant that characters who are rivals are inherently comparable

There are

- gag rivalries for comical relief
- unbalanced strength rivalries
- strength rivalries between equals

 

[Phoenix D. King]

- gag rivalries for comical relief

Buggy vs Luffy

- unbalanced strength rivalries

Zoro vs Sanjino

- strength rivalries between equals

Roger vs WB

 

[Lor D. Coast]

Score to settle? Rivals!!!

 

[Ar1sE1998]

Zoro and Imu

 

[LANJI CUCKSMOKE]

the only real rivalry here ,.....
luffy BB



The others are not rivals or rather hardly rivals.

 

[SUN Smoker Usopp Nami]

1. Luffy and Smoker
2. Zoro and Sanji
3. Shanks and Buggy

 

[DarkKingSlander]

Pussies.



Not a rivalry, Mihawk has never viewed Zoro as an equal.



Also not a rivalry, Zoro acknowledges Luffy as his captain for his strength.



Pussies.



This one is accurate.

No, the only good rivalry in this manga is Aokiji and Akainu.

Aokiji is more like a disrespectful little brother who got put in his place. Hes not Akainu's rival.

 

[Wh1p]

Dorry and Broggy

 

[Blazing Lion]

Roger vs WB

Shanks vs Mihawk
