Anime & Manga New TV commercial proves Zoro and Sanji are equals/rivals

there are 2 'vice captains' in the crew
:goyea::kata:
Jerking off is haram

@Chrono repent!
I'll preface this by saying Zoro is the VC in my eyes and has been but he's not the only one as the series went on


ok so about this vice captaincy problem.. the term is up for diverse interpretations but its safe to say that hierarchy and recruitment matters alot and hence zoro's words are heavily taken into consideration he is a man of such importance to the crew after all
so implicitly i'd say yes he is the vice captain in the moment when push comes to shuv you have the Thriller bark group match against Oars where Zoro uses the crew to execute his stratagem but SHP are a unique bunch..

take Kid's crew for instance Killer is the vice captain definitively there is no one else we know oda introduced that could fight and manage in Killer's stead or someone to contend with Killer as vocal equal but again SHP ARE A UNIQUE BUNCH

.. why is it that oda has ussop as a vice captain in his early drawings and never explicitly introduced the concept into the crew in the main story but rather have the most obvious choice have a contender/substitute instead.. ?

innt?

are we forgetting how sanji teased and boldly pointed out Zoro's doubts about Luffy's success against crocy? "Let me just say it.. you are afraid zoro that luffy will loose" would a subordinate do that? 👀👀 ofc folks as wise as jimbe do have say in things due to his vast repository in terms of experience.. but back then this wasn't a reassurance to zoro but rather a question to his faith in Luffy.. thats a big thing and shows how involved sanji was in being the 3rd voice in the crew

Enies lobby Sanji reminding ussop of his worth and function in the crew and his value in the severe status quo and backing zoro's words when Nami, a very vocal and a moral anchor for the crew was against Zoro's way of dealing with the situation..
Sanji also being the only one to intervene when his captain was about to make a very dire decision in the heat of the moment against Ussop IN FRONT OF ZORO



Given how Oda has now entitled zoro and sanji as Luffy's pillars.. there is no cinch of a doubt that each can substitute for the role when it comes down to it

you can put it like this, Zoro is the primary vice captain sanji is the secondary vice captain.. coz you can't have 2 equally reliable people and have one of them as a Vice captain that kinda pointless and bewildering ...which now makes sense why oda hasn't declared zoro as a vice captain yet.. its coz there is someone who shares the same role in the crew.. someone equally reliable... and thats Vinsmoke Sanji.. Light speed Lanji, Smoking Death pack Wanji

Oh god can you guys stop please?
Commercials don't "prove" anything, they're just promotional material.
-built on the narrative portrayed by the story.

How does it prove that they're equal?
rivals prolly but not equal in terms of strength unless proven otherwise

It just says that even though they are friends/comrades, they quarrel and make fun of each other all the time, but they put it aside if it's for the sake of Luffy's dream

And for anyone who thinks that the 1031 colorspread and volume 102 SBS didn't prove that Zoro is stronger than Sanji, you're fucking delusional and nothing less
