We already know how high his durability is
No, we actually have no idea how strong Sanji's exoskeleton actually is, especially when it's reinforced with Haki.
We also don't have a clear understanding on his healing factor, or whether it and his exoskeleton can improve with time or training.
We actually understand very little of Sanji's awakened modifications.
Tell me something
Does oda need to make him a punch bag whenever someone needs a hype to show Sanji's durability? There are many better ways to do it don't you think?
I don't think it's a question of need, I'm saying it's not necessarily a bad thing or a bad look for Sanji. I have no problem with Sanji getting hit in general, but certainly not if they're durability feats or flexes.
Oda said Gaban stands shoulder to shoulder with Ray and Roger
So, don't you think oda making only Sanji a hypetool but Luffy and Zoro stays fine is akin to differential treatment?
Sanji is not Gaban, whatever similarities they might have. On balance, they are very distinct characters.
I could not give less of a shit about "hypetool" narratives period, and least of all about Sanji. The weirdest thing about these stan wars is how quick so many of you are to accept the framings of those biased against your favourite characters. For whatever, you accept their bullshit about perceived humiliations and worry yourself pointlessly about it occuring in the future.
If you understand One Piece as much as you think you do, then you understand that the portrayal of characters reflect their roles in the story.
Egghead was a fantastic showing for Sanji on both speed and durability. If you let the anti stans tell it, that arc was endless humiliation for him. What is the point in giving a shit about people that deliberately twist everything to fit their made up narratives?
Nah man this would be oda shitting on Sanji
You gotta know by now this is an insane take.
If anything, Sanji seems to me like he's one of Oda's Top 3-5 characters along with Luffy, Shanks and Buggy.
