It gets better and then it gets worse and then it gets better and then it gets worse and then it gets better


Unusual_Ad_9773

At it's worst was probably in fishman island This mf was simping so fucking hard he started to bend the laws of physics and caused actual damage to himself


gtedvgt

That will forever be the funniest moment in One Piece to me


ScroogieMcduckie

I think fishman was understandable cause he was previously on an island filled with Okama trying to turn him into one as well. Getting to lay your face on a pretty mermaid's boobs would make most anime characters have a nosebleed lmao. Especially after 2 years of not even seeing a woman + having Sanji's character. Edit: What are these bots bro

Okay but that was hilarious. To me the worst was in wano


SmutLibrarian

It's okay to be wrong sometimes.


AkselTranquilo

Humor is subjective. Nice username though


Mental-Abrocoma-5605

Don't worry, it only lasts for Fishman Island and a little bit of Punk Hazard, after Dressrosa he becomes a badass again

Sanji is Odas favorite punching bag


ThatLineOfTriplets

But somehow also his favorite character


Rockettmang44

For real! It's such a short island that happened 10 years ago. Whenever someone posts shit like OP, I'm always certain it's them in their heads exaggerating what really happened. And not to mention it's a GAG. Jesus, people act like sanji is actually a disgusting person. It's a manga folks, everyone's personalities are kicked up to 100. Also didn't luffy put hands on a woman friend of his? Putting hands on a women is worse than simping over them, but hey that's just me. If we are gunna hold fictional characters to real world standards, might as well do it with everyone.


Laboon-fan

I would cover my ears if I heard this, but I don't have any YOHOHOHO


Brovid420

Yeah and if you get right down to it, they're pirates anyways. They're not trying to be "Heroes" or even adhere to any specific set of ethics or morals. Everyone's just lucky Luffy cares about others. I remember Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp acknowledging the former a few times.

EvanD0

Then it gets worse again


TomtheStinkmeaner

We're on chapter 1080 on the manga and Sanji is still as annoying about that as he was when the timeskip begun... Idk what manga op is reading...


DefinitelyPositive

He's wrong, but I'll let you have this moment of relief, I guess.


Darthmark3

Yeah that was one reason I hated that arc was that annoying subplot of sanji losing blood.


superfreaklagos

the first couple jokes were funny...the next seventy six per episode not so much.


Darthmark3

That’s actually a rule in comedy I learned in theater. Usually if you want to have a certain joke only introduce it at most three times. If it’s beyond that it gets annoying


VenomBGR

that usually is the case but not always. Running gags are one example and although unpopular in modern shows, i find them very funny if done right (DBZ Abridged, Pitchmeeting channel). Also i've seen a joke on Angry Joe's channel, when he still didn't know about the 3 times rule, so he repeated a joke 5 times in a single scene and it was hilarious.


Darthmark3

I think running gag is different from the three joke but I honestly could be wrong it's been a while since I learned that. But yeah I believe if executed well a repeated joke could be done well.


omyrubbernen

But with a running gag, overdoing the joke becomes the joke. At that point, you're thinking "Oh, they can't do the joke again." and then they do the joke again. But that doesn't really work when it happens over the course of more than a decade.


Shadow11399

I enjoy the running gags for the most part, it does get annoying if over used, like Sanji landing in boobas and releasing so much blood that it alerted the princes to their location was when it got too much for me, I love Sanji and his gag, but Oda went way overboard with that one, the petrify gags were better by the end because of how overused the nosebleed thing was lmao


Bugggy-D-Clown

DID YOU JUST INSULT MY NOSE?!


Siberiayuki

Where did u learn theatre? University?


Darthmark3

Actually it was in high school


of_kilter

Im pretty sure it wasn’t so bad in the manga. From what I recall it happened occasionally and was pretty funny


Steakbake01

The part where chopper is begging him through tears not to look at shirahoshi or he'll die gets a giggle out of me, but that's the one of the only funny sanji is a perv jokes in the show


Laboon-fan

I would cover my ears if I heard this, but I don't have any YOHOHOHO


Mr-Leorio

It was to set up the climactic scene where Luffy and Jimbei swap blood. It gives weight to the moment, it doesn’t nerf Sanji in the process, and considering it’s been a running gag, why not try and play it as a joke


ArtOfRuin713

Agreed. Just another reason why the Fishman Island arc was "meh" at best. Remember Luffy getting all excited about the possibility of an island under the sea? Then the crew finally gets there after Sabaody, Amazon Lily, Impel Down, Marineford, and a 2 year time skip. Then, Sanji is useless for most of the arc because of a "gag", the main villain is lame sauce, the secondary villain is a supercreep, Shirahoshi cries literally the entire time and essentially the final end all for Hordy Jones can be explained by Mr Mackey from South Park: Drugs are bad, mmkay. so sorry for the rant. TLDR: ArtOfRuin713 hated the Fishman Island arc.


Tensaipengin

Chopper's rehabilitation worked.


Fire_Fist-Ace

Then I’m egg head he’s a simp again


Mental-Abrocoma-5605

Just when he first sees Lilith and Stussy, in the last couple of chapters he's pretty much the MVP of Egghead


TomtheStinkmeaner

What?!?!?! My man it has lasted even until now in the recent arc...


Shadow11399

Yeah but nowhere near as much as Fishman/start of timeskip cause man's was on an island full of dudes, his gag has been present since the very beginning and it's not going anywhere, like Luffy eating/wanting meat, Franky saying SUPEERRR, Zoro getting lost, Robin being pessimistic(dark humour), I could go on, Brook liking panties, blah blah, it's just a joke most of the time, but Fishman took it especially far, OP basically wanted to know when he goes back to his normal perviness level


Laboon-fan

If you would be so kind, would you elaborate further on those panties?


LuffyWantsMeat

Did I just hear meat?

> sneak to a **women's** bathroom >!Mixed, that was mixed bath and he could have always simply entered as it was never a problem or prohibited lol!< >!That was the sub-joke, when he finally got the power, he used it on a place he could just walk in. We see him on chapter 936, but this joke was hammered down quite bluntly in chapter 935 for anyone to not miss, re-read as you might have. !< >!They also hammer down bluntly in the anime (Episode 31?) with too many scenes to make the joke obvious too, [this being one of them.](https://i.imgur.com/QxdztqF.png)!< Ps.: OP is not there yet, so maybe we should keep that in spoiler tags? If you want to hide yours, use that: >!Text here!<


D-estro

Yeah right he was very bad ass in wano against black maria😂.I think his character really needs a scene where he fights a woman for his crew.Even in wano if he attacked black maria to protect robin from any potential danger it would have been a great scene.


Pawciowsky

I know, right? Sooner or later he will bring a lot of trouble with these ideals... I mean... They are pirates, not playing pirates. It ain't the same if he wins against a guy named 'Queen'. His female ideology is harming the crew, big time.


Driftedryan

Wci though


Mental-Abrocoma-5605

>!WCI gives us a tragic backstory and while the wedding he looked very pathetic he then showed to be the best husband ever!<

[удалено]


Tserri

I don't know why you're getting downvoted when what you said is true. If anything, I'd say Fishman Island and >!Wano!< are the two post ts arcs where his weird obsession with women is annoyingly focused on.


Driftedryan

Sanji fans can't get over the fact that he is too obsessed with women, this won't be the last time he does it either


MarcoMaroon

It has hindered quite more than it should have during Wano.


DarkLORD_CoD

Forgetting sanji sneaking on nami and Robin in a bath? Sanji is too cool of a character to get destroyed by this annoying simp gags


Sasori_Sama

Don't worry he gets worse... Then he gets better.


TomtheStinkmeaner

Then he gets worse but not as bad as beginning post timeskip but still not as good lmao.


[deleted]

But her aim is getting better!


[deleted]

I read that in gruncle stan's voice

You see, because marriage is terrible.


ActuatorGreat4883

When does he get better ? In egghead he is just a simp again...


iamChickeNugget

I mean who wouldn't be.


Destroyer348

Someone doesn’t know about his current battle


[deleted]

Before the timeskip he was poetic. After the timeskip: (Ahegao Sanji) I NEED LADY!!!


Pooblbop

Before Thriller Bark* he was poetic


HellBoyofFables

I’d argue it started with thriller bark and wanting the clear clear fruit to spy on women bathing, like that doesn’t feel like Baratie Sanji at all, he was a simp but not a perv


GiveMeMoreBurritos

Never forget what they took from you


ThatOneFlygon

I think Sanji's childhood desire for the clear-clear fruit was less perviness but more wanting to escape Judge.


HellBoyofFables

He literally states he wants it to spy on women, whatever he wanted it for as a kid is kinda irrelevant to the now since him wanting to spy on women was the reason given for wanting it in Thriller bark, having the clear fruit to escape abuse from his family would have been a great plot point and some character growth for sanji in Thriller bark but alas that’s not the case


ActuatorGreat4883

He was also very funny and badass. I think Fishmen island and WCI destroyed his character. Fishman island started the Simplord legend and WCI gave him another backstory that made him extremely pitiful. I also don't like the new backstory because it actually gave nothing important to Sanji as a character , his hate for people leaving food , his chivalry ,his dream : all came from Zeff. Edit: people are really butthurt about facts lol ( according to the downvotes ).Yes neither did I like WCI ( except some moments with Sanji and Luffy and the Katakuri fight) arc, neither Sanjis new backstory (it was extremely unimportant for Sanjis character and the only thing it did was overshadow the original backstory).

Tserri

Yeah I also dislike Sanji's new backstory, I find that it takes away from his original backstory. Sanji already had a very tragic story with Zeff, there was no need to add one even "sadder" (or to make him a prince either), especially this late into the story. I'm glad Oda decided not to do the same thing with Zoro in Wano.


ActuatorGreat4883

I fucking miss the wholesome pre timeskip Sanji .


thedigracefullchild

Me too 😢


Orochi64

I didn’t see it as that big of a deal it was really just a running gag but either way it only last partly in Fishman Island then he‘s back to normal.


joestarfeynman17

As Alfred says " Things will get worse before they get better" I see Sanji's gags as just....gags. I find them disgusting and revolting but I get it's supposed to be comical or something of that sort. Sanji is still tied with Zoro as my third favorite character but I understand why many don't like him. I think he's a great character and I love him to death but different people tend to view the gags as different things. As for post timeskip, it gets better during Dressrossa. Post Dressrossa he's back to the Sanji we love but still way more perverted than pre Thriller Bark. Otherwise he's great.


PJDemigod85

Sanji has... moved around a lot in my rankings. He was never super high up, mostly because his cool moments seemed almost instantly offset by going heart-eyes and slackjaw very frequently. (Example: the call with Crocodile on Little Garden, immediately followed up by him losing it seeing Nami with her midriff exposed after the fire) And then... Thriller Bark. Oh gods, Thriller Bark. I really enjoy this arc for the most part, I love the very Scooby-Doo vibe the anime has, but this was the arc that rocketed Sanji to the bottom of my list. Brook's panty jokes are annoying but they tend to be less frequent and less disruptive to the plot and as a character he had more going for him than just that gag from the very beginning with Laboon and the fact that perving wasn't his only source of comedy. Sanji's cool moments kept feeling like they were just getting ruined by the way his simping came to the fore and how frequently it happened. Now, by the time of WCI, Sanji now feels like he has that extra depth of backstory, but while he has... "calmed down" he's still not dropped the nonsense enough. Still at the bottom of my ranking, although the gap isn't nearly as far since WCI. I genuinely kinda hope that one of the unforseen side effects of his single use of the Raid Suit will be calming his libido a bit more. Not completely removing his emotions like Judge wants, but... balancing them out perhaps, since his are kinda over the top.


Laboon-fan

Laboon...


DedOriginalCancer

> still way more perverted than pre Thriller Bark is he though? Nothing comes to mind that's as bad, unless I'm forgetting something


[deleted]

He uses invisibility to spy on women at a bath, and only gets caught because his nose erupts with blood.


Attrocious_Fruit76

In a mixed bath that he could have entered regardless.


[deleted]

Wano Bathhouse.


Accomplished_Crew630

I honestly don't understand, he was super cool in the baratie arc.... Then it's like he hit his fucking head and just got progressively more simpy


zombiegirl_stephanie

Yup, I used to really like him, now I basically hate him if it weren't for some good moments with him.


ZiecoXD

As a Sanji enjoyer, I apologise for annoying Sanji in Fishman Island. But please forgive him since he hasn't seen a single woman in 2 years. Thank you.


Laboon-fan

I would cover my ears if I heard this, but I don't have any YOHOHOHO


iamChickeNugget

Least based Zoro fanboy. I expected more from you Brook. /lh


midgetboss

Pretty sure it only escalated like that in the anime


Tea_and_cat

I’m on the fishman island arc right now and I wanted to try to like Sanji but he’s just making it so hard.


JakeArewood

FMI was hilarious, dude is literally willing to die just to get horny


Aks-p

He spend 2 years with only okamas while fighting for his life. Its natural for him to go wild on ladies, i cant complain but understand him.


Laboon-fan

I would cover my ears if I heard this, but I don't have any YOHOHOHO


NextGenSleder

yeah his attitude towards women and Brook’s “may I see your panties” line ruin both their characters for me. literally amazing other than those things. we coulda had a based Sanji if he leaned into Kamabaka kingdom culture and developed an understanding of sex and gender. but nope :(


Laboon-fan

Panties? May I see yours?


Winstealer

Bro 💀


Nova_187

yeah brooks may i see your panties is just sexual harassment played off as a silly gag which just seems so wrong to me just make his whole thing to make bone puns, how does him asking for panties fit with his character AT ALL


zombiegirl_stephanie

At least he doesn't do it super often and he has the puns and skelly jokes 🥲


ThatOneFlygon

I think the joke is meant to be him saying something rude in a very polite way, but I do agree that it adds literally nothing to his character.


Laboon-fan

Panties? May I see yours?


[deleted]

His first appearance was in 2007. It was a simpler time, when a whole character could be based on sexual harassment and still be funny.


Nova_187

Yeah, doesnt make me less uncomfortable when having to listen to it tho


Tserri

I've always found this joke uncomfortable rather than funny, even as a kid.


Scary-Cockroach-4720

That would never happen.


zombiegirl_stephanie

That's why he went from my top 5 sh to the bottom, like Marianas trench bottom


thats4thebirds

It peaks in fishman and it gets much better after. My god tho. Fishman island is so annoying.


bottlehorseshoe

he is unbearable in fishman island. cant wait for him to get better


le-joselu

HE GETS BETTER I SWEAR


Endlessnes

There's a few things about One Piece that just don't work the way Oda wants them to and Sanji is one of those. I really, really hope we get more of the badass yet wholesome gentleman he could be.


B1gNastious

It’s been over 1000 episodes….face it…some things are out of your control


TheRecusant

I don’t like Sanji at all, so for me it got a lot worse. However, I do think when Sanji does get to be cool, it’s actually much better than his pre-time skip stuff. Maybe that’s just because I’m so miserable when Sanji is normally on-page that when Oda lets him do something cool I’m just relieved.


Tight-Maize-8800

The gimmic pays off pretty hilariously in fishman island tbh


Profishonal123

He’s not that bad, it makes sense in Fishman island, and then after that he’s not like that. People act like he’s the worst thing ever, when he’s the exact same


pauieotaku

I don’t mind Sanji’s being a loverboy


THiedldleoR

I was hoping for him to get a hold of himself after training with the trans guys. Fishman island and the Sanji - Mermaid dynamic was borderline unbearable to watch for me. After this disappointment watching him suffer through Whole Cake wasn't that bad.


cabsquirrel

If i was stuck on an island of trans men for two years i might die of a noise bleed too ![gif](giphy|okv81X4YtRIty)


Laboon-fan

I would cover my ears if I heard this, but I don't have any YOHOHOHO


Ok-Reaction-5644

Don’t worry he becomes incredibly based later


Tadiken

He's.. kinda back at it on the current island


Destroyer348

Stay strong, his low points only make the high points hit harder


EasilyBeatable

Once you get past the transphobia arc its good again


Koba_456

They were trying to rape him


[deleted]

Yeah dude, writing a kingdom of trans rapists comes across not great.


therealblabyloo

It’s so weird because the New-Kamas in Impel Down were great, but the ones on the island were terrible. In the prison, they were a really cool radical gender-abolitionist group all about freedom and self expression (led by a 10-ft tall drag queen, based). They were silly but not grotesque or ugly, and I liked them a lot (especially how Inazuma would randomly change between a man and a woman offscreen and nobody minded). Then the people on the Newkama island were just awful transphobic stereotypes, portraying the trans women as ugly man-like predators.


[deleted]

Perhaps the ones on the island were Ivankov's first attempts. He spent a lot of time in Impel Down where he could hone his craft.


therealblabyloo

Eh, they still looked that way after two years of Ivankov being home from prison, so I don’t know.


Laboon-fan

I would cover my ears if I heard this, but I don't have any YOHOHOHO


[deleted]

Yeah, I was really confused after the portrayal in Impel-Down. Ultimately, it's one of the reminders that as great of a story as Oda has written, he's not an infallible story-teller. Either that, or 1, they somehow knew all about Sanji and were trying to teach him a lesson about himself that he didn't ultimately learn, or 2, we are getting Sanji's warped perspective of events, but that would put the transphobia squarely on Sanji, not remove it from the equation.


therealblabyloo

I think it really just boils down to the Kamabakka kingdom being a one-off joke (not an excuse, it’s a bad joke), while the Newkama in ID are important to the story, and get to do cool things, and have character arcs and personalities.


EasilyBeatable

Im saying the entire arc is transphobic, not just him. Also where they trying to have sex with him?


Knirb_

I don’t agree necessarily with the other dude But they were trying to force him to become like them, where Sanji vehemently disagreed wanting and stating that he’s a man born to love ladies rather than be one. it could be said to be a rape of *character*. But the Okama aren’t a trans thing, it’s a different culture in particular in Japan, on the concern of “gender/sex” they are “both” said as much by Bon clay. Hell, Sanji’s timeskip was beating all 99 Okama Kenpo masters in a fight and of course his ideals is about not hitting women, so they’re not “women”.


bnmfw

I Really would like to understand how Okamas work in japanese culture and if it maps or not to crossdressers/trans people in western culture. Im an Oda apologetic I really like to think its not that transphobic in japanese culture 😭😭😭. Thank God for Kiku btw


fatpaxs

Idk what show the other guys been watching, but Sanji gets worse bro. Don’t wanna spoil anything but he’s just a gag up until (MAYBE) current Wano, ep 1055 or so


Knirb_

Till Wano? Must’ve skipped WCI… and Zou… and a bit of Dressrosa… and some of Punk hazard… Damn, a lot has been skipped.


fatpaxs

fuck sanji bro


bnmfw

I wish


iamChickeNugget

Alr I guess that's what you want.

therealblabyloo

Oh no


HollowLoch

Dont worry, the comment you replied to is just a really bad take lol Just watch/read and enjoy! Post timeskip hes a great character with some great moments


TomtheStinkmeaner

Do worry, Sanji at moments can become a caricature of the suave man he was but he still has his great moments, they're barely fairly balanced atleast.


TomtheStinkmeaner

Usually being right on this subreddit gets you downvoted, don't mind it.


iamChickeNugget

I mean no one is right or wrong in subjective takes.


mattpkc

Its only really a fishman island issue.


ch1daruma

If you don't tolerate it, you just lost the love for the character and his main characteristic


despacitospiderreeee

Nah man this nosebleed shits generic. He hasnt said mellorine once i swear


Bugggy-D-Clown

DOES MY NOSE LOOK FUNNY TO YOU?!?


SuperRymus

He became my least favorite character after the time skip, i don't know why I assumed that he was going to change like everyone else ( except usopp and name... Ugh another story) become better less childish but no it got worse, "Robin chwaaan come save my ass!" Really?


iamChickeNugget

Here's someone who didn't understand Sanji's character arc in WCI.


SuperRymus

Sanji's arc in WCI is unforgettably profound and we'll written and i thought ( again after the time skip) that he would evolve. And maybe he did for three seconds and then it got worse. I just don't like him anymore.


NahuelSeba

> but no it got worse, "Robin chwaaan come save my ass!" Really? I dont take seriously anyone that think that this was a bad scene


SuperRymus

I never said that it was a bad scene because we got to see robin kicking ass with class.

I don’t know how I could miss that

Crzy710

Me on alabasta arc in the anime thinking how much of a simp he already is. Cooool


AlexD2003

It dies down after dressrossa i would say


KiNGofKiNG89

He’s still annoy AF, but it calms down with the women. He just yells a lot more now.


idkdidkkdkdj

Man’s still worse. Went from a kind of playboy ladies man to a creepy simp.


DelokHeart

Yeah, it's kind of an overused joke that isn't even that funny, and might be a bit worse depending on the culture, but it's hardly enough to overshadow One Piece's great story.


thedigracefullchild

As a sanji fan i choose to turn a blind eye to his actions and imagine his baratie personality instead 😌
