Sanji’s appearance
Sanji has a tall, long-legged build with lustrous light blonde hair covering one side of his face. The first time the audience saw him change his hairstyle after two years of Timeskip, the blond hair fell to cover the other half of the face.
Over time, Sanji’s hair also looks messy and shaggy, not straight. Twisted eyebrows are one of his interesting physical features. Both eyebrows start from the left and gradually curve up to the right.
Sanji likes to wear Western clothes and pursues an elegant style. He has a wide variety of shirt designs and often comes with different colored ties. The chef usually wears a luxurious vest in black, blue, turquoise or orange.
Sanji’s personality
Friendly, calm, and cool are some of Sanji’s obvious personality traits. He always kept his composure even when he was in critical situations. The audience also rarely witnessed Sanji act without thinking.
Like Zoro, he is deeper than he looks and often suggests important ideas to his teammates. It can be affirmed that Sanji is one of the most abundant members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Even in some critical situations, Sanji reacted on his own and made wise decisions to save teammates or friends. Sanji is considered one of the smartest members of the Straw Hats because of his sharpness.
However, he is quite promiscuous and flirts with any beautiful woman he meets. The remarkable point about Sanji is his “never attack women” principle.
In battle, he only blocked the attacks of female enemies and accepted torture instead of counterattacking. That often puts Sanji in danger and causes many difficulties for his teammates, but they all respect the principles of life that have created his values.
Sanji is also a character rich in compassion and is often moved by difficult situations. His chivalrous spirit has made his fan base increase day by day.
In addition, as a chef, Sanji also cherishes food and hates those who dare to waste any food. This also comes from an incident on a deserted island that almost caused him and his boss Zeff to starve.
Sanji’s Power
From an early age, Sanji underwent years of rigorous training from his boss Zeff. As a result, he gained superhuman physicality, resilience, speed, and agility even before the latent genetic improvements were awakened.
His dominant fighting style is Strike. The technique inherited from the boss combined with a solid foundation of strength has given Sanji flexibility in combat.
Sanji’s health cannot be underestimated because before showing off his powerful kicks, he held Fullbody’s neck with only one hand in his first appearance.
Sanji has incredible stamina and endurance. He is considered by many viewers to be the most agile, tough, flexible and rational member of the Straw Hats.
Even as a frail child, Sanji was able to survive the brutal beatings of his three superhero brothers. The rigorous physical training while working for Zeff made him a strong man.
Black Feet Sanji
Under Zeff’s guidance, Sanji became a master of kicks with the nickname Black Feet. He can launch powerful kicks and coordinate them flexibly whether on the ground, in the air or in the water.
He pursued this fighting style as well because he didn’t want to hurt his cooking hands. However, the technique of putting hands on the ground also requires Sanji to have superhuman upper body strength.
Strong legs have helped him cope with many formidable forces at sea, from pirates, navy to agents of the World Government.
Since the Enies Lobby Arc, Sanji has also been able to use fire for his attacks. In addition, he also developed a number of other skills in Timeskip such as Sky Walk (moving in the air) and Blue Walk (moving under water).
In addition, he can also combine Armament Haki to increase the damage of kicks. Besides, his Observation Haki is also highly appreciated and can hear women’s voices regardless of distance or circumstances.
Change gene
As a child, Sanji was called the loser by his siblings because he was weaker than them. The reason is because Sanji has not yet shown the results of the genetic upgrade performed by his father Vinsmoke Judge.
This incident came from his mother Sora who took a genetically modified antidote during her pregnancy. Although it does not affect all children, she has kept Sanji’s humanity, that’s why he did not possess superhuman powers when he was a child.
During the battle with Queen at the Wano Arc, Sanji suddenly discovered that the genetic changes that had been dormant in him since birth had now awakened. That gives Sanji a skeleton as hard as steel, increasing his speed of healing and even increasing his physical strength.
He began to recall the unusual physical signs that had occurred since wearing the Germa Raid Suit. In the end, Sanji accepted his new power to wager a battle against the Plague Queen.
As he fought, he realized his strength had far surpassed before that to an unimaginable extent. Even Sanji’s speed is so fast that enemies think he is invisible.
Sanji’s Interesting Relationships
Sanji and the crew
At first, Sanji had a bit of a hard time getting along with the crew members. He is puzzled by Luffy and Zoro’s recklessness to achieve their dreams. However, it was they who inspired Sanji’s belief in the All Blue waters and the motivation for him to set sail.
In addition, Nami was also a great reason for him to accept into the Straw Hats. This is a couple that is loved by many viewers because of the admiration and respect they both have for each other. That’s why they don’t hesitate to show their true feelings to each other.
He also had many conflicts with Zoro and Usopp. However, after the battle at Arlong Park, Sanji opened up to everyone and felt comfortable on the ship with his teammates (except for the “algae head” Zoro).
Although they often quarrel and “fight” with each other, Sanji and Zoro are true friends because they always understand their friends. However, there are many things that make the chef jealous of Zoro, such as the standard money or the privilege of being cared for by the princess in Wano.
Sanji has repeatedly tried to fabricate that he only does everything for the women on the boat and doesn’t care about the others. This is clearly a lie because in many cases, Sanji has used his life to save his teammates.
Sanji and Captain Luffy
No matter what happens, Luffy and Sanji will always be each other’s trusted teammates. Both of them gain respect from each other and they have gradually found a common voice despite all the hardships they have been through
Sanji admires Luffy for the way he does everything to protect all of the crew. Sanji’s faith is absolute as he has never doubted his captain’s actions in any situation.
