Frankly spiking–no pun intended–Oda treats Franky waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Sanji. Sanji has become Oda's puching bag and his character is all over the place. In comparison to Sanji Franky looks like Oda's favorite character, hell, Franky even had way more fair power and durability than Sanji before Onigashima.


Sanji is out there getting extended backstories, power up, character development and panel time, while Franky is just getting gags so far atleast
Just because he got his leg fractured or "lost" against doffy for the same reasons zoro and luffy lost against apoo, doesn't mean he's a punching bag
Franky has less panel time than background characters, as for durability and attacking power that's your bs headcanon lmao. Franky never had more durability than sanji or attacking power,given their portrayal in thriller and the fact that franky was getting damaged by underlings while only doffy's right hand man broke sanji's bone
Sanji is probably oda's favorite after luffy and most likely nami, given how much character focus he's been given
You seriously believe what you wrote? Lmao bro come on, even the most hard-core sanji hater on wg wouldn't believe for that shit for second, that sounds like your personal opinion, but clearly oda favors sanji above nearly all characters aside from luffy and nami, and yes oda probably likes sanji more than zoro
In terms of panel time it's luffy, nami, sanji then zoro, which kinds of says a lot about which character oda likes to use more to impact the story
That's the thing, oda likes to write about sanji's character, while he clearly doesn't want to use Franky at his full potential
Franky is almost a background character, while sanji is getting as much focus,narrative and progression wise as nami used to pre ts, see what I mean? Oda clearly underuses Franky and the rest compared to the og 5
