Sanji should have married in WCI
But Oda has no balls to make "character development"
Cause he is always afraid if he changed a character attitude, people will hate the new version
For example, if Sanji got married to Pudding, he will have new attitude of trying to resist other women seduction, which for Oda, and for MANY JAPANESE audience, they find that funny... it's why anime has too many pervs! Cause audience there receive it positively much more than other cultures
Just look at Oda's SBS question and you'll know what I'm talking about, a room full of pervs with pervy question while they can ask Oda about much more important shit
For Oda, he really believes Sanji's gag is still working, which is right, but in his own culture mainly... on the other hand, in other diverse culture it's starting to get overwhelmingly repititive
And to me, I would have prefered he got married, and has a new attitude
Which can be so funny as well, where he tries to resist, for example, covering his face with his hands, but his fingers are slightly opening to still try to peek Lmao
But at least some character growth!
But Oda simply isn't the type to give character growth in all honesty, and when he does it, he takes it away immediately! Same like Usopp, every arc, he shows some of the most courageous actions! Instead of building on that, Oda takes it away by having Usopp act like a coward immediately!
Like wtf!
Last couple of chapters Usopp panel with Chopper surprised me, cause he was going there without the fear gag, so hopefully Oda shows growth and doesn't take it away fast! We're at EoS... how can they acheive their dreams without gradual growth, wtf
