      @@justinn8541akaDrPokemon I feel like his fight with Queen is just an extension and closure of his arc that starts in Whole Cake Island, which is basically "Sanji's relationships with Judge and Sora, respectively, and how those relationships informed his moral compass." Queen is not a new arc for Sanji in and of itself; it's an extension of his relationship to Judge.

      I get the feeling that if it wasn't for Zeff and the Baratie, Sanji may have had a mental breakdown at age 11.
      After, or perhaps during Whole Cake Island, it was probably only thanks to the Straw Hats that he didn't have a breakdown.

    There's another possibility on 'keep your feet dry'. Red Leg Zeff was known for being a killer, his boots covered in the blood of his victims. From that standpoint Sanji keeping his feet dry might be Zeff's hope/reminder/wish for Sanji to be a better man than Zeff was. After all, it was being bloodthirsty enough to attack a defenseless passenger ship during a storm that was the doom of Zeff's crew and leg.

    Many people wonder how Sanji and Zeff got off that rock because the scene ends there haha 😂 In the manga, right after they have this conversation about the All Blue, a ship finally is seen in the distance. Crying, Sanji starts waving and yelling "Hey!! Here!! Please save the old geezer!" Zeff wistfully talks about how wonderful it would be to have a restaurant in the middle of the sea so anyone who is stranded and starving can have this ray of hope. Sanji says "we'll do it, I'll help you, so don't die!" 😢

    The two wings of the Straw Hats are the tightest of brothers. Sanji may entrust his life to Luffy, but Sanji only trusts his death to Zoro.

    There was a sweet feeling I couldn't put into words, that Sanji met Zeff as a helpless child that Zeff protected, and then, when Zeff was attacked, his son, now a grown man under his wing, stood up and protected his dad.
    Zeff and Sanji are the cutest father-son pair I've seen in a while. Two gruff men trying to clumsily look out for each other even if they drive each other up the wall. I think their clashing was the natural symptom of a young man who was ready to leave the nest. Zeff realized that, and Sanji initially didn't, IMO.

    Life-long One Piece fan here and massive fan of your work, Georgia. I wanted to share with you the meaning of "keep your feet dry" because I think you'll love it. In the Manga, Zeff's pirate nickname is "Red leg Zeff" because his fearsome kicks would stain his boots red in the blood of his enemies. He taught Sanji this style, who's nickname becomes "Black leg Sanji", and I believe that Zeff was basically telling him from experience to "Stay out of trouble, keep the blood off your feet.". It's an incredibly subtle nod to the anime and really shows the love the director had for the die-hard fans as well. Your videos are amazing, and thank you for making content on this incredibly therapeutic show!

      That's a nice sweet spin on it but unfortunately not the case. "Keep your feet dry" is just the best available translation because it's a similar saying we have in English. but the original Japanese line is literally "don't catch a cold". It's a protective, caring sentiment that a parent might say. Basically Zeff is saying "take care of yourself, son" 💗 Very sweet!

    There is a single moment when they are dividing the bagged food and Zeff is threatening him not to bother him that little Sanji gets this sad but slightly fearful expression, almost like he's bracing for something, its the tiniest nod to the fans that are in the know about the rest of Sanji's origins.

  • @pelipoika88

    One thing you said that stuck to me: "His dream can live on through this other person"
    That is gonna be a running theme in One Piece. Inherited will. The dreams shared among people, living on through those who share the dreams
    In the anime and manga, there are several moments where Zeff looks at Sanji with this face of happiness. Zeff is happy to see his son getting a chance to go after his dream. It's the reason Zeff likes Luffy so much. Luffy keeps chasing his dream. Zeff had to give up on chasing his own dream, but as Sanji shared his dream to find the All Blue, he wants Sanji to pay the life debt not by serving under him all his life, but to reach his own dream. Their common dream. And it culminated in Zeff and all the other cooks acting like they hate Sanji's cookings, acting like it's disgusting. All to chase Sanji out of Baratie and into All Blue. And then showing that Sanji was on the other side of a door, hearing what they said as they told Luffy why they claimed it was shit. Sanji, crying as he says to himself "I can hear you, you idiots."
    I think you'd like one aspect of One Piece. There is a lot of men showing their emotions in a healthy way, crying. And not the Hollywood single sexy tear cry, but straight up bawling their eyes out, snot running through cheecks. Because men can cry. And that is perfectly okay, even necessary at times.

  • @beanzaru

    Brining up that Luffy was expecting Zeff to come back at him aggressively definitely comes from his strained relationship with his grandpa. They're similar to Zeff and Sanji in terms of how harsh they can seem to each other but they're also SUPER different. I really love details like that.

    "Thank you for putting up with my sh** all these years, old man." Never fails to bring me to tears, as I said something similar to my dad after I first moved out of my parent's place. I wasn't always the best son, and he didn't do a lot of it right either. But he still gave it hell and always put us first. I didn't realize he had been there my entire life thus far, and he never questioned it. First time I saw this scene, I had to call my dad and tell him I love him.

    The relationships that develop in a restaurant kitchen are so... strange and specific, I have to congratulate the show on capturing that odd mix of competition, ego and cameraderie. I worked as a cook for 9 years, and during service we would bicker, argue, joke around, get frustrated and sometimes even vent violently (on inanimate objects, i.e. kicking a bin in frustration), but at the end of the shift, we would all work together to clean down, chefs clearing and wiping tables if they needed to, to get everyne done at the same time, so we could hang out and relax until the manager was done, and we could all leave together. If anything, and I mean ANYTHING threatened a member of our team, we were all ready to go to war for that person.
    Never assume that just because the person waiting your table is a minimum wage college student that nobody will care if you're rude and insulting, at a good restaurant the cooks in the back are just as ready to kick you out as anyone else, and they AREN'T being paid to be nice to you.

      One of the reasons Sanji is a simp and perv in the manga/anime is because he would otherwise be too perfect. Not only is he strong and kind, he is clever and often finds a way to help his crew escape or overcome a situation as seen during Little Garden, Alabasta, and Enies Lobby. In my opinion Sanji doesn't even do anything to cross a line until Law switches his mind into Nami's body. He needed to have a flaw and heart eyes and exaggerated simping are ok with me.

    In the manga, anime and dub for this Netflix show, Zeff actually says "don't catch a cold." Just something I think was cool. The keep your feet dry is just as good as the cold one. Also, I think that the acting was exceptionally good because Zeff and Sanji worked together before.

    @StrawhatOtakuDrew 11 місяців тому +5

    I understand entirely about teasing as affection. I do that myself. The way I see it, if I don't care about someone, it's not worth my time to come up with silly, fun, and creative little jabs like that.
    There is so much more to Sanji's past that isn't revealed in the series until around 800 or so chapters into the manga (if the live action series runs long enough, I imagine it'll be around season 9 or 10) that really adds even more depth to his character. Stuff like that is why I say you should read the manga or watch the anime and do a separate analysis of each character in that version.
    A really good analysis here. In the manga we saw a lot more of Sanji growing up with Zeff on Baratie that adds even more depth to Sanji's character and builds even more on the relationship between them. I'm hoping live action season two will show some of that in flashbacks as there's one character trait about Sanji that didn't come up yet in season one but will be relevant in the Alabasta Saga.
    In the meantime, I can't wait to see your next character analysis. Wonder whether it will be Zoro or Usopp. Also curious whether you're only going to do the Strawhats. I'd kind of like to see analyses of Garp, Coby, Arlong, and Buggy as well (although, in the case of Buggy, most of his character development happens well after what we see in the live action series so far).

    Flashbacks are often the butt of the joke in anime, but the author of One Piece uses them so effectively. They always completely change your understanding of previous scenes. Silly random things are suddenly emotional and meaningful, and the conflicts are heightened by new context about the stakes or motivations.

    Without huge spoilers, for those who don't know the reason Sanji is as dedicated to Zeff's teachings (kick based fighting style, the Baratie/feeding those who need food) as he is is because Zeff is literally one of the only two adult figures in Sanji's life who did their due as an adult and showed affection. In turn, Zeff feels a fondness and connection to Sanji for their similar passion, love of food and cooking, and dream of finding All Blue, so he tries to spare Sanji, which very much ties in with One Piece's theme of passing on the torch/inherited will. Speaking of which, the reason Sanji loves cooking as much as he does is tied to both of the loving adult figures in his childhood. To seriously stay tuned to the show if you don't want to check the anime or manga.

    The apology is very different in the manga/anime, where it has a traditional dogeza of gratitude by Sanji as he is about to leave. It is very impactful in its own right, whereas this one is far more nuanced.
    I'd love to know how you'd have interpreted some of Sanji's behavior if you knew things about him that are revealed later in the series. Little Eggplant probably has one of the most impactful backstories in the series. Just think about it: why would a kid his age be on his own, serving as a cook in a galley, with parents nowhere in sight? There is history there, and it isn't one that involves roses and sunshine.

    Sanji grew up as a failed genetic experiment, and his biological father abused him for not being a perfect child soldier.
    After Sanji's mom passed away (the only person who truly loved Sanji), Sanji's biological dad put an iron mask on him and abandoned him in a prison cell.
    One day, Sanji managed to escape from his abusive dad's clutches and met Zeff afterward.
    Nobody ever sacrificed anything for Sanji or accepted him the way he is until Zeff came and became the dad he never had.
    Sanji truly appreciates and loves Zeff.
    Also, when Sanji was a toddler, he used to feed mice, and his biological father really despised that because, in his opinion, strong people should look out for the weak ones.

    “Keep your feet dry” is such a beautiful moment to me because in the midst of all this cheffy nonsense and performative roughness, that’s an honest piece of advice from a parental figure. If your feet are wet too long you can develop trench foot and all kinds of nasty things, and Sanji’s Black Leg Style requires his feet. So it’s an honest, loving word that lets his guard down and shows his feelings.

    something to consider:
    sanji and zeff exclusively fight with kicks in the anime and manga. "red leg" zeff comes from the fact zeff's kicks are lethal and the blood would end up coating his legs and feet.
    zeff didn't just end his career pirating or give up his dream for sanji, he removed his primary means of threatening anyone.

    In the anime, Zeff and Sanji were a bit more antagonistic against each other. There was a lot more yelling, and Sanji has a short temper especially against Zoro, pretty much the same relationship. But it was still pretty much the same kind of relationship. The live action makes Sanji and Zoro a lot more calm than they are in the anime.
    When it comes to love languages, anime Sanji has only ever known arguing and shouting, and has picked that up. A lot of people think Zoro and Sanji hate each other because of how antagonistic they are to each other, but no. The two of them have the ultimate respect for each other. Sanji is utilizing the only love language he has ever known, which shows just how much he respects Zoro, and Zoro sees Sanji as his biggest rival and matches the energy that's thrown at him, just like he did with Kuina.
