Zoro vs Sanji was never an argument for 90% of the fandom.
This shit is being toxically talked because of the remaining 10% of biased Cucksmoke Lanjiboys.
But let's be serious. There was never a chance in hell, and never will be.
Zoro is Luffy's first mate, right hand and vice captain (all stated by multiple sources, both manga and databooks, plus it appears as obvious to people with common sense); he is always compared to the captain and wondered why he is not the captain. Sanji is the left hand which is still good but who has no such comparisons and is far from the right hand/first mate/vice captain.
Zoro fought Luffy to a draw, and was stated in databooks to be as strong as Luffy. Sanji other never had anything like that.
Zoro remembers Dark King Silvers Rayleigh. Sanji remembers third fiddle Scopper Gaban.
Zoro is a WG Supernova like the captain, has Color of Conqueror like the captain and was one of the "powerful pirates leading the new generation" like the captain. Sanji has nothing of these things.
Zoro entered the crew as an equal partner to Luffy. Sanji entered the crew after being saved in a battle where all he could do was being a cheerleader. Zoro was willingly looked for by Luffy, while Sanji was a casual meeting on the road.
Zoro made Arlong tremble in fear and immediately urge to try to kill once he realizes the conditons he was fighting in.
Sanji made Arlong laugh.
Zoro defeated Mr 1, Sanji defeated Mr 2. Mr 2 was afraid that Mr 1 would kill him if Crocodile did sent the latter to punish him for failing the mission.
Zoro defeated Ohm while Sanji Satori. Ohm >>> Satori.
Zoro oneshotted Kaku with Ashura.
Sanji needed three Diable Jambe attacks (one tanked, one dodged, the last one is the winning) to defeat Jabra. And Kaku >> Jabra.
Zoro had a power up in Thriller Bark (Shusui) and defeated Zombie Ryuuma. Sanji had no power up in Thriller Bark and defeated Absalom who is <<<< Zombie Ryuuma (who was making Franky and Brook shit their pants).
Zoro was portrayed as Luffy's second and could perfectly dodge Kuma's lightspeed point bank attacks, and tag and wound him. Sanji failed to give Kuma any damage.
Then, Zoro was trained by Mihawk, while Simpji was trained by Emporio Ivankov lol... what were people expecting to happen??
Zoro oneshotted Hody underwater and oneshotted ES powered Hyozo (Base Hyozo easily reacted to G2 Luffy). Sanji firstly was busy losing blood because of his simp attitude, then he teamed up with Jinbe to defeat ES Wadatsumi (Base Wadatsumi is a clown, is an underling of Vanderdecken, and Vanderdecken was defeated by G2 Luffy with his hands tied!).
Zoro (while holding back) clowned and defeated an all-out Full Body Haki user, cutting a mountain in the process.
While the Cucksmoke was beaten (at his own game!) by a Full Body Haki user who didn't even feel the need to use Haki.
Zoro clashed with an Admiral, defending himself successfully, pushing the latter back and receiving his praise. In the meantime, Sanji got raped in 10 seconds by Doflamingo.
Zoro, while massively holding back (no high end Santoryu, no Ashura) defeated or overpowered his fellow WG Supernovas in the likes of Hawkins, Killer and Apoo. The strongest character that Sanji defeated, up to today, remains freaking Yonji lololol.
Zoro counters, stops and tanks named attacks and attempts from Yonkos, saves Luffy many times as a worth right hand, overpowers a Yonko's attack and wounds him (Tatsumaki). Has a Yonko scream in fear because of his attack to another Yonko (Hiryu Kaen). Saves everyone by blocking and then tanking a combined attack from two serious Yonko (a feat that Big Mom called as "very impressive"). Puts characters like Kidd and Law in awe for his feats. In a weakened state he openly challenges Kaido and manages to break his guard, blitz him and wound him, leaving a scar, all in a clean and frontal 1 vs 1 without no external involvement or help.
Meanwhile, Simpji was being stomped into the dirt by King's casual attack and then was playing bondage with a Tobi Roppo...
Come on. Be real. Trying to put Sanji close to Zoro is RIDICOLOUS at this point.
One, Sanji, gets stomped into the ground after casual nameless attack from YC1.
The other, Zoro, against a combined named move from two serious Yonko blocks it for enough time to let everyone being saved, and then tanks. Someone like Kidd was helpless and felt the need to thank Zoro for saving his life (this with Kidd being one of the cockiest characters).
One, Sanji, plays bondage with a Tobi Roppo and bakes a cake. Now he is fighting a YC2; which is good, but lightyears below a Yonko.
The other, Zoro, challenges a Yonko 1 vs 1 without any help and breaks his guard, and leaves him with a scar just like Oden did (if not better), and that's after blocking and then tanking a combined attack from two serious Yonko.
Now finally Sanji is having a very good moment fighting against Queen. And that's absolutely great.
But, at the same time, Queen is someone who was treated as shit by "O-Lin" the weakened version of a Yonko, while serious Yonko acknowledged Zoro's power and might: therefore even defeating Queen, while absolutely great, would never even compare to Zoro's crazy feats against Yonkos. As Yonkos >>>>> YCs.
Come on, the person that Sanji is currently fighting (and that is already a blessing for him!) is someone that Zoro intimidated with a casual nameless flying slash! Do we understand how big is the gap?
In the end: Sanji is strong, hella strong, just he is clearly weaker than Zoro, who is much stronger and on a different level, much closer to Luffy. That's how it always was and how it always will be.
