So no secret that sanji hates his family, everything his father put him through just for simply being born made sanji hate his family and everything they stood for and represented, so what would happen if he just accepted the fact that he is a vinsmoke?
Sanji’s character has always been more emotionally driven and it’s reflected in his combative capabilities with diable janbe and hell memories. If anger can fuel his flames then what would happen if he took his greatest source of pain and anger and accepted it?
2 yrs on the kamabakka kingdom seemed like a necessary hell sanji needed to experience, to learn to embrace the side of himself he’s been repressing all of his life. Accept that the Vinsmokes and their legacy and his father is apart of him but they aren’t him
If he can accept that I believe his diable janbe can soar to knew heights with the flames of not anger but acceptance. Cause on that island sanji was with others like him in the sense that they were repressing or denouncing a side of themselves as a person
Ivankov themself must have seen this internal struggle within sanji even if they didn’t understand what it was exactly and I gotta speculate that with the odds the SH’s are up against, this arc is the arc where we truly see our characters evolve to the next level.
Both in terms of character and combat, this tweet was partially inspired by a tweet from @ZWB009 , I replied then the thoughts started rolling
