The five flashbacks of Sanji and their corresponding manga chapter numbers

1. Chapter 56｜Baratie Arc: Sanji is willing to sacrifice himself to protect Zeff and the Baratie.
​
2. Chapter 284｜Skypiea Arc: Sanji covers Nami and Usopp, taking Enel’s lightning strike alone.
​
3. Chapter 485｜Thriller Bark Arc: Sanji begs Kuma to take his life and spare Luffy and the crew.
​
4. Chapter 804｜Zou Arc: Sanji leaves a farewell letter, abandons his dream, and heads to Big Mom’s territory alone to protect his crew.
​
5. Chapter 844｜Whole Cake Island Arc: Sanji fights against Luffy. He does not want his friends to get hurt trying to help him, so he chooses to bear the pain all by himself.

@starme55555 I wrote a post about the Elbaf arc because of the online criticism toward Oda’s pacing. I’d really love to know what Japanese fans think. Could you read it and share your opinions? I’d really appreciate it.

[Dame @Dimien512]

@BetoSamaX I don’t understand why. Doesn’t the God Valley and Rocks chapters count as part of the Elbaf arc?

[Dame @Dimien512]

@DiegodOrder Because netizens have been criticizing the recent pacing of One Piece, I wrote a post sharing my thoughts on the Elbaf arc. I’d really like to know what Japanese fans think. Could you share your opinions with me? I would be very grateful

I understand why people are criticizing it. You want Oda to do better. But please don’t be too harsh. Even Luffy gets hurt sometimes — Oda is only human. Imu just appeared not long ago. Give Oda a bit more time and space. I still believe in him and in One Piece.

I don’t really agree with this view. Elbaf has been pretty good so far.

The Valley of the Gods and the flashbacks of Rocks, Roger, and Garp are some of my favorite parts. Robin’s story is also great — it’s amazing how far she’s come from that little girl.

Most people seem to complain about Imu’s appearance. But Imu is the biggest enemy in the whole One Piece world — the “God” that Shanks wants to defeat. It’s still too early to fight Imu, and the Straw Hats aren’t strong enough yet.

So this arc won’t have everyone facing their own opponent like before.

尾田栄一郎、お前よ、今ネットでえぐい叩かれ方してるの知ってっか？
エルバフ編も全然面白くねえし、いいところで毎回クソみたいな回想や場面転換挟んでテンポぶっ壊して、挙句の果てに休載連発！ルフィの目ん玉飛び出させて野球やらせて、世界観めちゃくちゃにしてんじゃねえよ！白ひげの息子の伏線はどうした？完全に忘れてんだろ！ 
作品の質は落ちてんのに芸能人とパーティしまくって自慢して、「仕事舐め腐ってる」って昔からのファンまでアンチ化してんだよ！
他の大御所作家が伝説の作品をスパッと完結させてレジェンド扱いされてる横で、お前はこのまま「引き延ばしすぎて終わった時に冷められた悲劇の漫画家」で終わる気か！？ 
……でもな、尾田栄一郎。
俺はそんなお前を救いたい。
お前が25年以上ジャンプの看板背負って、世界中のキッズを熱狂させてきたのは紛れもない事実なんだよ。俺たちはお前の描く命を削った熱い冒険が見てえんだよ！
芸能界でチヤホヤされて天狗になってる暇があるなら、初心に戻って机に向かえ！
くだらない引き延ばしは全部やめて、俺たち読者をもう一度あの頃みたいにワクワクさせてみろ！ 
尾田、お前の最後の本気、見せてくれよな。

Right now it’s more like setup. We’re getting more world history and seeing the Straw Hats grow. Zoro and Sanji will get Conqueror’s Haki, Usopp’s Observation Haki will get stronger, and Franky will get an upgrade.

If you look at it this way, the pacing doesn’t feel that slow. Once the setup is done, we’ll get the fights and character moments everyone wants.

[Dame @Dimien512]

@TomaszOracz Don’t worry. Elbaf isn’t the true final battle, but Usopp will always get his moment to shine

[Dame @Dimien512]

#ONEPIECE1196
If there were a fourth person in One Piece to awaken Conqueror’s Haki, it should be Usopp.

Oda’s portrayal of Usopp is the most distinctive.

Compared to Luffy and the others, Usopp is just an ordinary person. Unlike Luffy, he hasn’t eaten a Devil Fruit; unlike Zoro, he isn’t a swordsman; and unlike Sanji, he doesn’t excel at kicking techniques.

He is weak, so he deeply values his own life, and he tends to avoid fighting powerful enemies—that’s his way of protecting himself.

@wwshrimp I really like this cover page. It plays on the famous saying: see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil

[Dame @Dimien512]

@Kunagnes1 A crazy idea🎃

[Dame @Dimien512]

@KurumiAlt69 For someone who loves the manga and Season 1 so much, this is pretty bad😢

[Dame @Dimien512]

@wngb150946 早呀早呀，漫画区的小伙伴欢迎交流，我经常串门

[Dame @Dimien512]

@1r5tb 还有更早的，好奇有四点钟的吗，大家都不睡觉吗

[Dame @Dimien512]

@guochen622 怪了怪了，为啥简中区一大早就有那么多帖子了，不应该睡觉吗

[Dame @Dimien512]

@sakunana77 我有个建议，你问一下他们关羽、张飞跟赵云谁最厉害，就有很多人来讨论了

[Dame @Dimien512]

@Kunagnes1 Yeah, how could someone with a strong inner self allow themselves to lose control so easily

[Dame @Dimien512]

Stop calling Sanji a masochist. He’s not doing this on purpose.

He cares about his friends way too much, so he always jumps in first when there’s danger. He *could* wait for a better chance, but that would put his friends at risk—so he won’t wait, even if it’s reckless.

Protecting them is all he thinks about. He barely considers himself, which is why he takes so many hits he could’ve avoided.

[Dame @Dimien512]

@yonkochrisj Cool, your theory makes a lot of sense

[Dame @Dimien512]

#ONEPIECE1196
Why is Ivankov the person Sanji fears the most?

Because Iva is the only one who truly understands Sanji’s inner weakness and proactively points it out—and he does so not as a crewmate or partner.

In reality, many people understand that Sanji doesn’t love himself. Take Luffy: during Whole Cake Island, no matter how hard Sanji kicked him, Luffy never fought back, because he knew Sanji was the one in greater pain.

There’s also Robin, who acts like an older sister, accepting and supporting him, happy simply because Sanji needs help.

@_alaaa67 You make a good point, but I'm a long-time reader, and many of the manga that have accompanied me over the years have already ended. So even if Oda is a bit slow, I'll still wait patiently. The feeling of losing that companionship is really unpleasant.
