Character Discussion What if Zoro and Sanji switched roles in the new world?

[Albino 👑]

Zoro and sanji are obviously different characters and thats what makes them special but what if they switched roles in the new world

Ever since we got to punk hazard zoro has more or less has had a background role while being full of badass moments like fights, clashes, feats, quotes, and panels. Like the monet moment, pica, kamazou, rooftop, and king

With sanji not really shining much when it came to fights/feats and being used alot in gags for better or worse but surprisingly playing decently important roles when it comes to overall plot. Like with kinemon in punk hazard, the big mom pirate ship in dressrosa, the zou/wci arcs as a whole, and arguably even playing a decently big role this arc. As well as oda delving into his character and what makes him tick for alot of it. Tho again not really shining action or feat wise for most of it


So again if they switched roles how would you feel?
Zoro getting the characterization and a bit more important roles in the plot but way less fights/feats and more gags(good or bad depending on the person lol)
Sanji getting the opposite obviously

[ShishioIsBack]

No
Will take Zoro over Sanji anyday

Even if Zoro is cucked in Wano, Zoro has done more in Wano than Sanji will ever do or ever has done

 

[Doggo]

Ngl...I like Sanji's potential role in the future saga, but maybe changing the events from PH is not something easy to pass....

 

[RoronoaZorro]

Zoro doing plotline related actions and scenes are always welcomed.

1. Fishman Island: bleeding hard so he needs transfusions as to introduce Human-Fishman no blood exchange rule, swing Luffy to the sky.

- Oda can't make Zoro bleed hard here, since no one is his opponent.
- Zoro can throw Luffy instead,

2. Punk Hazard: reorganize Kinemon's head, finding Kin's body part, take responsibility to rescue Kinemon, rescue Tashigi.

- Zoro will be able to reorganize Kin's head because he must have seen that hairstyle in his village
- Zoro might not be able to find all of Kin's body parts if it's deep underwater, so maybe Oda can make him defeat a creature who took Kin's body.
- Zoro will decide to rescue Kin not because of emphaty, but because of Kin's Samurai spirit.

3. Dressrosa: turn Viola against Doffy and finding out his true plan, run back to Sunny to defend the other SH

- Zoro can turn Viola using intimidation (CoC aura)
- Zoro can reach Sunny with the dwarf who's with him

4. Zou: chase out the invader, rescuing the Mink, and defending against Bege's threat

- Zoro can defeat them all

5. WCI: save Pudding and his sister, rescuing Germa, save WCI residents from Big Mom

- Zoro can defeat Big Mom's commanders and rescue Germa
- Zoro can defeat Oven easily to save Pudding's sister
- Zoro can stall Big Mom for 12 hours until Pudding finished the cake

6. Wano: saving Otoko and Momo

- Zoro already save Otoko
- Zoro can save Momo using a blitz attack right when Kaido got sneak attacked

 

[phatltse62882]

We will have SKK :))) and but also Zolo's sleeping beauty :))).

 

[RoronoaZorro]

Sanji doing Zoro's scenes:

1. Fishman Island: break out the cage, defeating the swordsman

- Sanji should have been able to break the cage
- Sanji can defeat Hody's swordman

2. Punk Hazard: fighting Monet

- Sanji can't defeat Monet

3. Dressrosa: fighting Pica

- Sanji can't defeat Pica on time while he rampantly destroys the town

4. Wano: evade the execution, saving Hiyori, fight Kaido, fight King

- Sanji can defeat the fodders
- Sanji can't defeat Killer, but able to stall him so that Hiyori can run
- Sanji can't damage and scar Kaido
- Sanji can't win against King

 

[Seatonnes]

If we are being honest
sanji wouldnt of beat any of zoros opponents except maybe king

 

[Albino 👑]

If we are being honest
sanji wouldnt of beat any of zoros opponents except maybe king

Its less so about making zoro weaker or sanji stronger but oda changing how he structured each of their roles
Writing to accommodate the swap not just a full on 1 for 1 they do the exact same thing and act the same way the other would have

 

[MasterD]

I would not mind, I would like to know more about his past and maybe know who his parents were etc.

Sanji doing Zoro's scenes:

- Sanji can't damage and scar Kaido
- Sanji can't win against King

You obviously don't understand what he wants to express. Sanji can do anything Zoro can do by changing roles. It's just to ask Zoro fans whether they want to exchange for the background story, or whether Sanji fans want to throw away the background story

 

[Finalbeta]

King? Why? 🧐

 

[Necrohol]

I'd be happy. Oda has been humiliating Sanji since the TS with bullshit losses against half the fodders of the New World. His first good fight in FOREVER was against Queen.

 

[Seatonnes]

King? Why? 🧐

Oda wouldn’t of destroyed sanjis raid suit, raidsuit sanji + exo skeleton + ifrit jambe >= Koh zoro

 

[Chrono]

Both routes are bad and good. But I guess for their special arcs....importance and characterisation is far more important. So I guess the Sanji route. Idk how Id feel if Oda cut all of Sanji's vinsmoke plot/pudding plot/cake plot....so he could have a 1v1 against Cracker and 1 impressive feat against Katakuri.

Sanji route for special arcs
Zoro route for every other arc

Of course the best would be both combined....

Tbf this arc Sanji had the feats and the characterisation.

 

[Hawkins]

Zoro has no personality so he can’t fill Sanji’s role

 

[Finalbeta]

Oda wouldn’t of destroyed sanjis raid suit, raidsuit sanji + exo skeleton + ifrit jambe >= Koh zoro

In RS Sanji might not even manage to use his IJ
