- Set up for a Vegapunk flashback that includes, Judge, Caeser and Queen
- Potential interaction between Sanji and Queen, that may or may not lead to a gag
etc
It could lead to many things, however it doenst need to lead to a fight. Fighting because of Judge would be a stupid forced plotline.
- If Queen says he loves Judge, then he wouldnt want to fight Sanji
- If Queen says he hates Judge, then Sanji wouldnt care since he also hates Judge
- Sanji is currently involved with the safety of the scarbbards, and he wouldn't give a fuck about Queen mentioning Judge. He has bigger matters to attend to.
Love how you missed the BIG THING
Queen calls Sanji “Judges son”. He never even says Sanji’s name.
do you believe that Oda is a good writer who can do subtle writing? Is it in your imagination possible that Oda very intentionally makes sure that Queen identifies Sanji as this. Judge’s son.
That Oda is very subtly planting a very good source of animosity here between Sanji and and Queen simply by having Queen acknowledge Sanji as something Sanji would definitely hate to be called.
I mean is it possible that Oda actually knows a thing or two about great set up.
Anyway if you don’t think Oda can make subtle set up writing like this then there’s the more obvious shit like Queen is the second strongest, Queen and Sanji have the exact same reaction to Komurasaki’s death, Sanji is now a tech fighter and Queen is a tech fighter, Sanji’s opponents are always goof balls, yada yada... I’m sure you’ve heard all these before.
I’m just mostly interested here because you seem to think Oda has to do a lot to create animosity between Sanji and Queen yet as far as I can tell he already has. I thought every Sanji fan immediately recognized that having Queen only acknowledge Sanji as “Judge’s son” was actually very good writing from Oda to immediately create an almost philosophical conflict between the two.
but maybe you think this doesn’t matter. That Sanji clashing with King once is better written set up than this extremely subtle well written thing with Queen
