General & Others Pacifista = Steel > Exoskeleton = Iron

#1
Not including the raid suit the exoskeleton gives the vinsmoke metal bodies. That metal specifically being iron aka iron bodies similar to tekkai. If someone has the raw translations even better

Queen not having external armament to coat his blade in haki not being able to cut through Sanji’s iron body when he wasn’t even using haki

While iron alone isn’t the most impressive it’s still pretty damn good especially when haki is stacked
Vergod

Wucci


Hell even Garp himself is known as iron Garp

And obviously Sanji

As for why they don’t translate it to iron in the English? Idk I made a thread about how the English fucks up translating when it comes to metal, iron, and steel
Just making it its own thread to make it an easy find
:kayneshrug:
The difference between iron and steel

Daz was made of iron

More










Even more
East blue zoro can’t cut iron bars

Don krieg’s armor is made from a specific steel

Little garden Zoro couldn’t cut Mr. 3’s iron hard wax

More Zoro saying he needed to cut iron to cut daz



Luffy breaking steal and Zoro cutting iron

Zoro being able to cut stone and iron but not steal post kaku fight

The pacifista being made of even harder material than iron like steel



If the manga isn’t proof enough
Number 6 explains the inconsistency in the anime

And more evidence from someone who reads Japanese

Now all together
Zoro learned to cut iron against daz with lion song


Zoro still struggled against Ohm’s iron whip while knowing how to cut iron because he could only do it with lion song. Him deflecting the iron whip instead of straight up cutting it

Zoro fights another iron man with Kaku and while he could get through his iron body technique with LS Kaku didn’t give him the opportunity

Zoro could damage but couldn’t cut kuma’s pacifista body with LS because it was made of steel not iron

Same with the pacifista



Post timeskip tho? After zoro actually learned to use haki shit became a lot easier
Can slice through a pacifista himself

Can casually slice through thick iron like nothing

The first time we see him using his new upgraded lion song aka death lion song being against the red punk hazard dragon


They couldn’t even properly translate Sanji’s attacks so it’s not surprising

Idk how common the knowledge is so maybe most of yall already know but until recently i honestly never really realized that oda actually had a system going on with sanjis attacks other than random French words

Im pretty sure we all know at least that sanji's "normal" attacks are based on just where hes specifically hitting someone. For example the attack ima show off collier = neck

Collier mistakenly translated to collier coup but is just the most basic version

Collier shoot a stronger version of the normal collier kick translated as collier coup
  1. Collier and most his basic body part named attacks are his weakest and usually used to combo into eachother ending with a special kick by the end
  2. < shoot versions are attacks specifically made to do as much damage as he can to that specific body part
  3. < diable jambe + shoot the same as before just with the dj boost
  4. < diable jambe strike a new thing post timeskip even stronger shoot with his flames engulfing his whole leg this time and not just the lower end

Finally hell memories which seems like its own separate thing tbh with it not exactly being part of dj. Also seemingly just a single attack not a form
