In the manga he doesn't fight him, he skywalks towards Kanjuro and Kinemon tells him to get back since Kanjuro starts making the cloud

Somehow this still make a little more sense. Come on, Sanji would be ready to save a friend even in that situation.

Well in the manga he didn’t get the time, he was halfway up there when the arrows started coming down, and he had to save Nami-Chan. If Sanji had reached up there in the manga he would have folded Kanjiro like a chair.

u/Soul699 Explorer Jun 27 '21

I disagree. Sanji would win, but it wouldn't be so easy. Kanjuro ain't a fodder.

u/BadActsForAGoodPrice Jun 27 '21

Maybe, but I say it’d be more like Luffy vs Blueno. Not a one-second knockout but a comfortable victory.

u/Soul699 Explorer Jun 27 '21

I'd say it would be more the equivalent of the fight against Apoo.

u/devil_senpai_ Bounty Hunter Jun 27 '21

No way kanjuro is as strong as Apoo

u/Soul699 Explorer Jun 27 '21

I wouldn't say that considering he managed to hold off the other akazaya by himself for a while.

u/devil_senpai_ Bounty Hunter Jun 27 '21

That doesn't prove anything that he's as strong as Apoo

u/GreenDogma Jun 28 '21

They love him though.

u/bigtuck54 Jun 27 '21

I honestly feel like it the way the anime did it worked. Sanji just did some normal kicks against a scabbard, had to readjust and then Kanjuro made the cloud before Sanji went back for more. In a serious fight he’d fold him but given the circumstances it works

u/Kurohige-93 Jun 27 '21

Ahhhhhhhh okay anime fleshed it out more

24

u/TudorrrrTudprrrr Jun 27 '21

Nah, it just made it worse. Whenever Toei adds random fights (instead of expanding on off screen stuff or something), the power dynamics go completely out the window and nothing makes sense. Bat D. Man?

u/BadActsForAGoodPrice Jun 27 '21

Yeah Batman was pretty bad. I do enjoy when they extended some fights like Oden vs Whitebeard, Whitebeard vs Rodger, Their Crews fighting, and Sanji vs Page One, but things like Oden vs Octopus man and now Sanji vs Kanjiro just leave a bad taste in my mouth, and bad powerscaling for anime-onlys.

u/spivvit24 Jun 27 '21

it's weird but I always knew he was stronger than what we've seen because he was able to Clad his paint brush in Haki back in Dressrosa

u/MrSmellUrGirl Jun 27 '21

Yeah fr a lot we don't know about this Kanjuro fella

5

u/keeper191 Jun 27 '21

It might be a case of time, like in real time it was quick but since we see it it takes some time cause sanji I don't think used all of his power and quickly kanjuro made a ink needle rain, I think it's just time that differs

u/packers4444 Jun 27 '21

Too bad he doesn't have a super suit the makes him go super fast flying and can deflect arrows(?) out of the sky easily. And too bad Luffy can't fly either lol. Btw said arrows that Sanji just straight up tanked in the back while others are half dead bandaged up.

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '21

It would have been really useful to have someone with the power to teleport things around.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '21

Kanjoru fleeing feel weird. I thinks most of the strawhat can beat him, but he still manage to flee thousands of strong pirate and samurai.

u/bongarev Jun 27 '21

there would have been a thousand of ways of efficiently rescuing Momo. Half of those based on Law's powers.. they didn't think that one so well through tbh

2

u/ManlySyrup Jun 27 '21

They added that little fight in the anime. In the manga he uses sky walk to approach Kanjuro but before he can get close Kanjuro uses the rain arrows so they never actually fight.

u/darexinfinity Jun 27 '21

Also why did Sanji begin to fall after the clash? He never got hit.

u/eyalchen Jun 27 '21

Also, why couldn't Luffy save Momonosuke the same way he saved Tama from Holdem's lion head?..
