> Idk how the diehard Sanji fans are coping right now
Eh, I myself see things the way it is, without exaggeration.
The outpacing laser scene, S-Shark's punch scene, saving Bonney scene, Kizaru's beam scene, and that Nasujuro scene is good enough panels.
As for:
- "stare diff & bite diff" : Sanji's thing is Defense = so he will get shown to be attacked.
- "can't save VP" : his heart needs to stop to play the recording = so the narrative needed it.
All is well.
