Hello you all know me because i probably made you angry with my amazing observation when it comes to Sanji
I am here today to show you why the Raid Suit is not a Power up for Sanji like many people are claiming. But rather a training tool to get stronger
I've seen some crazy claim saying RS Sanji can low diff base Sanji. But in fact its the opposite.
Lets start with the not so obvious mechanics and function of the raid suit which actually nerfs Sanji.
The Sun Glasses
As you can see here Sanji bangs already cover one of his eyes. Now in the raid suit he also has sun glasses covering his other eye.
Now i know many of you don't go outside much so you probably have very little, to no experince with wearing sunglasses so here is an example
as you can see it makes it so your sense of color and vision is impaired. This combined with the fact that Sanji's hair covers his left eye makes him blind.
Here is an example of a blind man
This is the blind man's POV
This forces Sanji to have to use CoO 100% of the time while in combat in order to see. This not only forces Sanji to exert a lot of wasted energy keeping haki up 100% of the time but also he cannot see surroundings or details. He can only see shapes like this
Now oda has made this clear when he made sanji remove the sun glasses in his latest appearance when he gets serious or faces a strong opponent
I believe that Oda's reason for having Sanji wear the sun glasses is to train his CoO to another level but that means he has to be nerf while using them.
Next off is a not so obvious feature that may look like a power up but for Sanji is once again, a NERF
FIRE RESISTANCED
Yes that's right Sanji's DJ attacks are a lot stronger than his kicks with the raid suit. And the Fire resistanced nature of the raid suit doesn't allow him to use DJ.
Again this is another way Oda is making Sanji train his physical strength while in the raid suit. Him not being able to rely on DJ makes him put more power and focus on his base kicks.
Here you can see drake who is so confident after knowing Sanji fought with page one. He knows Sanji's strength because of his fight with page one. What drake doesn't know is how ever Sanji was NERFED while fighting page one in the raid suit.
So Drake thought he could eat the kicks like page one did and come out fine because clearly drake> page one everyone knows this.
And we all saw how that turned out. That's right he was shocked and Ko'd by how much more powerful Sanji is without the raidsuit negating his ability to use fire/DJ.
Next off we have.... yep you guess it
The CAPE
Now we all know super hero's cape is one of the coolest part of a costume. It has a nice logo and in this case also functions as a shield and armor at the same time
Now what do we think of when we hear the word shield and armor?? Thats right extra weight.
Now a normal shield can weigh anywhere from
10-25 pounds extra
this shield is not a normal shield though
as you can see here the raid suit cape shield is roughly 3 times the size of your average shield which means
40-60 pounds extra weight not including the rest of the suit.
Here is a response from the 3rd strongest straw hat about extra weight from armor incase you say only fodder bother by extra weight
Zoro said it best "No, It'll just slow me down".
Again this is ANOTHER training tool oda has implimented into the raid suit by nerfing sanji but at the same time training him with weighted clothes. Like rock lee from bleach.
The Mask
The mask is another training tool to help Sanji boost his endurance / Stamina.
We all know that sanji likes to smoke before fighting someone. Just like how Zoro puts on his bandana.
the mask prevents him from doing so which in turn makes his lungs a lot healthier. So during the fight he will have better lung capacity.
I believe he got this inspiration from the TOEI incident
Mask also make it so it is harder for him to breath. Which in turn makes him stronger once he takes it off just like the weight clothes example.
The shoes
So the shoes as we all know it comes with an acceration device and floating device which doesn't matter but that's obvious because sanji speed is faster than the shoes can produce
We know that Sanji is a gentlemen who wears a suit all the time so his apparence means a lot to him. If you are forced to dress outside your comfort zone you will lose confidence. Which will also reduce his combat abilites.
Not only are the ugly as shit
but, THEY ARE LITERAL CLOWN SHOES
thats right they SOUND LIKE CLOWN SHOES.
Now let me tell you a bit about my self i went to Clown College so i know how annoying and loud clown shoes can be. And the fact that Sanji has to now fight in shoes that produce the same noise is mind blowing.
sorry for that little back story of my life. anyways...
Here you can listen to the sound these awful shoes make
Not only does it make sound while walking but also flying
Here is an example
This allows opponents to know where and when Sanji is at all times even makes it harder to land hits and attacks because they will be ready for it.
The only good feature about the raid suit is the
INVSIBILITY
But infact it is not a combat feature or benefitical in battle because Sanji can already move faster than any eyes can see in one piece
Yep thats right the invsibility feature allows him to save the crew and gather infortmation and saving the crew/ allies.
Sanji has always been known to save people weaker than him and because none of the straw hats are getting stronger besides luffy and himself.
This feature will come in handy even more in the future.
here are some examples of sanji with invsiblity doing impactful moments that prevented the war from failing
Any ways what are you thoughts on the facts i've listed?
