In the world of One Piece, there have been some notable changes regarding Sanji’s raid suit, and today we’ll delve into the reasons behind these transformations.
Previously, in the SBS section of Volume 7 – Chapter 55, Oda was asked about the significance of the round shape on Sanji’s raid suit, and his response used an interesting analogy that we might not have expected.
– Question: Why is Sanji’s raid suit rounded at the end? Is it a fashion statement?
– Oda’s Answer: Listen, our lives are all intricately connected to circles! The sun, the moon, and the earth all have circular shapes and rotate around their respective axes! Just imagine if the Earth stopped rotating! Our planet would be filled with catastrophic waves that would wipe out everything! It’s terrifying! So now, the rounded design of Sanji’s raid suit carries a deeper meaning related to the source of energy “round” in this way.
The creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, recently discussed the changes to the raid suit of the Straw Hat’s cook, Sanji. He confirmed that the design of Sanji’s raid suit is intentional and carries significant meaning for the character.
In the Whole Cake Island arc, fans learned that Sanji was born into the notorious Vinsmoke family. His father, Vinsmoke Judge, conducted experiments to turn his son into a super soldier.
Typically, the right side of Sanji’s raid suit would remain rounded at the bottom throughout the series. However, in Chapter 1031, it transitioned into a rounded shape at the top to align with the designs of his other siblings’ raid suits.
In Chapter 1044 of the One Piece manga, Sanji’s raid suit’s spiral design returned to its original position, surprising several readers. Oda has clarified this matter by specifically mentioning that the spiral shape symbolizes a significant evolution in Sanji’s fighting capabilities during his battle with Queen, as his latent powers were activated.
While fans often speculated that Sanji lacked the physical strength of a super soldier, given that he still retained human emotions (unlike his siblings), during his battle against the fearsome Queen, Sanji unlocked his super soldier abilities at a crucial moment.
Along with the enhancement of his physical strength, Sanji’s personality has also undergone changes, becoming colder and more ruthless than his brothers. This transformation has been notably highlighted in his battle against S-Shark in the current Egghead arc.
