Current Events Let's appreciate the New Monster Trio

Oda is separating Zoro from Sanji by introducing Jinbe or Jinbe's intro separates Sanji from Luffy and Zoro. Too many times that Sanji and Jinbe are getting shown together. FMI, Onigashima Raid and now Egghead are showcasing this. But Sanji will remain part of the M3. Oda is not ending a dynamic that he has maintained for the majority of the story.
It's not that hard to get:
Zoro is comparable to Luffy but also to Sanji, and Sanji is comparable to Zoro but also to Jimbe.
It's Luffy > Zoro > Sanji > Jimbe as usual, with Zoro, Sanji and Jimbe as the 3 main YC of Luffy.
Nothing changed.

sanjino never was stronger than jimbo
 
Arc where oda was going to introduce the new member that was going to change it all and was going to change the dinamic

Later oda split the crew dressrosa/WC and wano luffy/zoro only fought yonkos + after the arc with the new bountys
I'm just correcting about the M3 not having moments together post timeskip.
 
The beauty of Sanji character is that he can pair / can be considered with

- Luffy & Zoro (Monster Trio)
- with Zoro only (Wings Duo)
- with Jinbe only (Tactical Duo, Elemental Duo, etc)

Or with any SH, actually even with Vivi or Yamato only (like the Royalty Duo of Sanji Vivi and Spy Duo Sanji Robin).

So I can accept whatever pairings he can be/considered as.

People, especially Sanji fans, shouldn't frown upon whatever grouping Oda pair Sanji with (with Jinbe only or with Zoro Jinbe). It actually enrich his character. No other OP character get this treatment, only Sanji.

Having one (new) pairing doesn't invalidate the other pairing he has, something everyone missed. (eg Luffy being a Yonko doesn't invalidate/remove his status as Worst Generation).
