General & Others Sanji should have been given Ryou while Zoro should have been given future sight

#1
What I don't understand is why Oda said Sanji specializes in COO while Zoro specializes in COA? Shouldn't it be reverse? Zoro is the swordsman so he should be dodging and predicting the opponents next move instead of tanking, while Sanji is the brute force who uses his legs to fight so he should be hardening instead of dodging. From that it will make a lot more sense to give Zoro future sight and Sanji Ryou while Luffy gets the ACOC.

No, you're wrong

Why Oda chose to do that. Its pretty simple. Zoro has always shown the ability to dodge and block his opponents pre time skip. And as a Swordman he also showed the ability of Ryou in his fight with Mr.1. So what Oda chose for Zoro is only Natural for him to focus on the ability to cut/damage/hurt offensive/defensive while also trains his impressive dodging ability with CoO. And lastly Zoro prefers not to act on emotion and that plays a huge part on how Taugh/Hard his CoA is since he is always confident that he won't falter no matter what "ice cold steel".

As for Sanji its a bit different. Sanji is a very observant person "aside from his peeking ofc" and his pre time skip fights showed to us that he prefers to pinpoint/analyzing his opponent weakness and strength to take advantage of that. Or Straight up tricking his opponent after getting to know them for a bit. So its only Natural for Sanji to be adept at CoO since its suit him best.

Also Sanji's character is all personality/emotion/compassion and that plays a huge part on how easily he can sense people intentions and emotions "especially females" that alone makes him a better Observation user than Luffy even if Luffy can use FS Sanji did show the ability to see more but not to the level of Luffy/Kaido/Katakuri. Lastly his CoA is affected by his emotions and if you do not believe that go back and read his interaction with Black Maria and Remember what Rayleigh told Luffy "Having no doubt is Power" and since Sanji is more human than Zoro it is why he falters alot and stumbles into doubts and frustrations easily.

Remember Sanji vs Queen? his ultimate Choice of being a Weapon or a Human? That should summarize everything for you.

Great Post :goyea:

Dont worry, Zoro will get Future sight as well since his two enemies in the future, Mihawk and Shiryu, require CoO power ups to win

That's what I don't get either

Powerful swords were never shown to be at risk of breaking during battle, him using basic armement haki on top of his swords adds practically nothing

Sanji on the other hand can only produce flammes as hot as he can handle, he should logically specialize in armement haki to increase his durability and generate stronger flammes

But the high Grandmaster has always been an AP and lethality hype. His CoC and reactions have still proven magnificent on the rooftop regardless.

Because this way it's more balanced. Sanji would stomp zoro if you gave him even higher ap

Zoro already does that with his skill as a swordsman. It's why he stays alive fighting against DF users and other monsters.

Sanji's whole fighting style uses agility, so no he's not brute force lmao. Up to Wano he was completely human, and also not a brawler, so he'll never think of himself as a tank.

Giving the two of them advanced Haki, especially within an arc and ying-yang types to compensate and foil each other, is clear fan shit. That sort of storytelling neatness. I know some guys like Kishimoto and Watsuki might cater, but Oda never has.

I get your route of thought but swordsman ship requires both Coa and CoO.
since they use a blade they can't loose their sole source of offensive ability so they harden their blades to reinforce its durability especially against trouble somefoes and massive force. CoO to not only dodge but predict and counter.. zoro in particular has dope defence with 3 swords and greater short distance flexibility to avoid and counter.

Sanji kinda requires both Coa and CoO too.. like Katakuri..they both are speedsters and basically haven't tools like swords for defensive purposes or natural defensive ability so they rely on base durability/endurance and CoA skill.. while CoO to dodge.

Mihawk broke his swords. A df destroyed Yubashiri. Kaido did a sword break on Kinemon and Kiku. The nature of Zoro's style put his swords at risk against Ryuma.

Sanji isn't the type to spend a week grinding.
I hope Oda never gives anyone else future sight ever again
In the hands of someone else it's more powerful, but now that Luffy has other advanced types it doesn't really matter
