I said Sanji giving up his dream and not his life was not a SH trait and it isn't, no other SH risked giving up their dream without also giving up their life.
That's not what you said. You said, and I quote
giving up on his dream is some ***** shit and not in character for a SH.
It doesn't matter if Sanji is giving up his life while doing so or not. Strawhats have put Luffy and the rest of the crew before completing their dreams pretty much every single arc. Nothing about what Sanji did is new except for the fact that the current situation doesn't involve Sanji losing his life. Which, again doesn't matter. In fact, in the context of the One Piece world, what Sanji is just as noble as dying.
One Piece SBS Volume 4 said:
D: How come Luffy never kills his enemies? Throughout "One Piece" manga so far, he didn't kill Mohji and Helmeppo, but Axe-arm Morgan was killed by Zoro, why is that?
O: Hmm! That's a very good question. First, I have to announce that Morgan is still alive. He's currently in jail, where he was placed by his former subordinates. Why doesnt Luffy kill his enemies? Because in that era, everyone uses their lives to fight for their dreams. For an enemy, when their dream has been shattered, it is the same as losing a fight, and as painful as death. I believe, for a pirate not to kill an enemy, it's giving them a 2nd chance to fight for their dreams.
In the One Piece world, not being able to complete your dream is just as bad as dying, so this whole "But but but Sanji isn't dying" stuff is nonsense because he might as well be.
They'd rather die then fail at their goal and Sanji didn't convey that feeling with this decision. Sanji isn't giving up his actual life in this scenario so no matter how many times you want to bring it up it's not the same as Luffy or Zoro risking death.
It's not the same action, but it's the same principle: I won't be able to complete my goal but that's okay because it's for my crew.
Zoro and Luffy have put completing their dreams aside for the sake of their loved ones. It doesn't matter if you can't complete the dream cuz you're dead, or enslaved, or in prison, or handicapped, or put in a permanent coma; at the end of the day, you're sacrificing your ability to complete your dream. If the result is the same, then it doesn't matter if you get there because you died or because you were forced to give up your journey.
Choosing to die before you complete your dream is choosing to give up on your dream. Unless, of course, you think that Zoro thinks he can become the WSS in a coffin.
And when did I call it bullshit? I don't see that word once in my post, you just can't help but add your own inferences into a discussion can you?
I'ma need you to watch your mouth.
Sanjis' motive's not bullshit but it's an uncharacteristic choice to be made by a SH this far into the game(Nami and Robin both made this same decision but that was early on in their time as a SH so it's more understandable)
Not really. Any Strawhat, if forced to choose between their dream or the crew's lives, would pick the crew's lives without hesitation, even if the decision was being made right now.
Also I love how you two couldn't help but try to turn this into a Zoro thing.
So lemme get this straight. You say what Sanji is doing isn't consistent with what the Strawhat's are supposed to be, and then you go "Ohhh wooowwww look at you bringing a Strawhat into the conversation" because that Strawhat is Zoro? Don't you think YOU brought Zoro into the conversation by comparing Sanji's decision to every single Strawhat in the first place? This is a legitimate question, when you decided to compare Sanji to a group of people that included Zoro, it didn't once register in your brain that you were comparing him to Zoro while doing so? Cuz if so lmfao I can't with you
I also like that you ignored that I said EVERY STRAWHAT fits the bill. Stop looking for stuff to whine about, my guy.
For as much as you talk about disliking him being compared to Sanji you all sure bring his name up a lot. Let it be shown the only ones who mentioned Zoro before this post were you two.
Who gives a ****? Your very first post is a comparison of Sanji to the entire Strawhat crew, which includes Zoro, so what are you really crying about right now? Again, I ask, did you type that post comparing Sanji to the rest of the Strawhats and then hit "submit reply" expecting people NOT to use specific examples from specific Strawhats? Zoro and Luffy have the most prominent examples of Strawhats sacrificing their dream for the sake of a loved one, so yes, they're going to be used.
This isn't a "Zoro-Sanji" thing, this is a "Sanji-Strawhat" thing. YOU are the only one making this a "Zoro-Sanji" thing by choosing to get hurt and cry about the fact that Zoro's name was mentioned in a post THAT ALSO MENTIONS LUFFY AND THE REST OF THE CREW.
If you want an accurate Zoro comparison it'd be someone telling him he can never pick up a sword again or see Luffy or they'd kill that girls family and blow off Zoro's hands and him saying ok let's go.
I'm honestly not sure how to respond to this. All I get from this is that you somehow think that when Kuma said "You're going to die if you do this for Luffy," Zoro didn't realize that means he couldn't pick up a sword again.
Again, what does it matter if Zoro can't pick up a sword again cuz he's dead as opposed to captured or enslaved? The result is the same, so why you grasping at straws?
But Sanji's character is just being stupid at this point in the story.
Luffy has already started conflict with Big Mom himself and he was also currently in the process of going after another Yonko Kaido!
How does Sanji think he's "saving" them from any of this stuff that Luffy already has his mind set on doing?
The only person Sanji might be "saving" right now is Zeff.. but he wouldn't have even known about Zeff, if he acted in character like the StrawHat Sanji we all know and love from the beginning of this whole thing.
Or-OR-Sanji, like Zoro, might be thinking that the Strawhats handling both Kaido and Big Mom at the same time is too much. Then there's Zeff being in danger to add onto that. Plus there's the Germa 66 Kingdom, which Sanji probably can't imagine leaving his crew alone after they botch up his alliance with Big Mom.
Now, if Zoro is thinking "Let's abandon our crewmate because we can't handle two Yonko at the same time," why are y'all acting like Sanji has a couple screws loose and isn't acting like a Strawhat because he sacrifices himself to protect them?
Just because Luffy is suicidally naive to think they can just challenge two Yonko in stride doesn't mean the other crewmates think so, or that they could handle it, and doesn't mean that other Strawhats like Zoro and Sanji aren't regarding them as more than they can handle.
Y'all are really going off the deep end because Sanji "isn't being a Strawhat" in his decisions of handling a Yonko, but where were y'all when Zoro argued to abandon a crewmember for the same reason, which is even further from being Strawhat-like than sacrificing oneself? Y'all a backwards ass group of people.
