Btw folks what
@Inflamed Haki just committed in the OP is one of the more common errors in logic:
Others have already demonstrated why so.
I would also set aside the question of it being wrong, that’s not the main problem. The real issue is how this was all written.
You see Sanji from went this:
To this:
You cannot look at this and say that this is not a regression in writing from Oda’s part. The overly chilvarous side of Sanji vs women will never change, but you can clearly see a difference in how its handled vs Kalifa. Since when was defending himself not an option on the table? Instead Oda somehow thinks having him get folded and yelling out to Robin is a good utilization of his chivalry.
And perhaps the most telling is that this Sanji/Black Maria clownshow could’ve been scratched out and nothing would’ve really changed. The reason this all went down was to set up Robin vs Black Maria. If this was all that came outta this then there was really no reason to trash on Sanji like that when you could’ve found numerous other ways of setting up Robin vs Black Maria. You don’t trash a character like this just to move the plot towards a certain goal.
At the end of the day it just doesn’t look good on Sanji, no amount of fallacious equivalences and poor justification will change that.
