The original anime, the live action netflix show, and the new anime adaptation. All running at the same time? Surely that’s wrong.

toei sanji is like borderline under the jail amounts of being a predator, it’s unreal how dirty they do him in the name of fan service and femme exploitation.
damn this makes me really curious about the manga experience bc i find nearly every scene with sanji damn near intolerable and routinely feel he is the worst character in the show despite having the on paper potential to be at least somewhat entertaining
I’m a manga-only and Sanji is still fucking awful, to the point that I actually can’t imagine how the show could make him worse.
well imagine if he also never did redeeming things and also gets his ass kicked like twice as often, and then you’ve got what you’d think of anime sanji.
he still definitely has some…less savory moments and drives, oda tends to give him the “wants invisibility to leer at women secretly” trait. some of that even is traceable to a particular editor that oda had. but a lot more of the time, moments that toei decided to depict as him being lurid or even interested in a child (jewelry bonney) has a completely different tone of protection and personal honor. even some of his fights that toei makes seem like sanji is getting wailed on feel completely different in the manga. they amp up all his worst aspects to 11 and seem to erase most of his redeeming qualities.
