“What kind of source of power do you call that?” It’s possible these small moments with Nami have been foreshadowing for something that’s about to come. You have other small examples of this, for example the cigarette burning more when Sanji is speaking to Capone about his family, or even something as silly as Sanji getting a speed boost after touching Nami’s breast in Punk Hazard. Still, at least to some extent Sanji already seems to gain power from his emotions.

If his new awakening is also because of emotions I think that would work in line with Sanji’s character and be something he can accept rather than if it’s the opposite, that his Germa powers will remove his feelings (which is of course another possibility). We also know that Sanji’s feelings have made him stronger before in other examples, perhaps most notably with his attack “Hell’s memories” which is literally fueled by anger.īut also the fact that his fire powers are described to be because his “passion burns hotter than flames”.īasically, Sanji’s fire power at least seems to stem from his emotions.

We’ve in other words seen Sanji being prepared to go very far for Nami’s sake and him already seemingly getting powered up by his feelings. Then again we have Sanji in Thriller Bark catching on fire when he learns about Nami being kidnapped and that Absalom wants to marry her. Later in Skypiea he repeats a similar sentiment about becoming the devil of the blue sea if Enel hurts Nami. The first time Sanji meets Nami he says that he is willing to become a devil for her. To start off, I think that if there is one person Sanji could consider becoming a “monster” for to begin with it’s Nami and he’s said as much before. Oda writes out “I need to figure out what caused this” so it’s likely Oda has a specific reason for why it happened, and will show Sanji figure it out.Īt the moment it seems Usopp and Nami got separated, and also that Sanji is moving away from his initial fighting spot, this makes it possible for them to cross paths during Sanji’s fight with Queen and while he tries to understand his current powers.īut now I want to go into a bit more small things that make me think this could work and that Oda might have foreshadowed it. So, if instead he doesn’t lose his emotions, but understand that his emotions is what awakened his powers it could make him accept them. The thing is that here Sanji says that he doesn’t want to lose his emotions, and that is likely his biggest fear. (Unless Oda actually goes down the route of Sanji losing his emotions, but that would mean a whole lot more drama and inner conflict for Oda to solve.) He doesn’t want to “be a moster like them”, which means he might need to see the difference between himself and his brothers and come to understand his powers as something good. Of course it’s very different if his whole body changes, and I totally understand Sanji’s worrry and fear of turning into something like his brothers. Sanji doesn’t want to use the Germa powers, but he already has, so he seems open to change his mind if the reasons are good enough. It also needs to work with what we saw happen in WCI and be done in a way that feels like it makes sense for Sanji’s character. This means that Oda will likely have to deal with it in some way so that Sanji accepts them. What we know at this point is that Sanji is awakening his Germa powers and that he doesn’t want them. But I couldn’t get it out of my head and felt it worked fairly well, so I ended up writing it down. I have little faith in this theory actually happening, mostly because it’s too shippy for Oda. I think Nami could be used as the trigger for Sanji to understand his powers and then also feel comfortable with who he is even with the powers. My idea is that if Sanji figures out that his powers come from his emotions, and he realizes that he is nothing at all like his brothers, he might accept his powers and be willing to use them moving forward despite his hate for Germa.

He is going to need to address it in some way and give a good resolution for Sanji’s current inner turmoil. After recent chapters with Sanji awakening his powers and his reactions to it I am very curious to see how Oda is going to solve this.
