I don’t think the dub version is bad by any means but I do think the roughness of Sanji’s English voice sometimes covers up some of the softer, subtler line deliveries his Japanese VA gives
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
The sub version with the relieved little sigh Sanji gives when he finds Zoro and the kind of forced nonchalant tone he puts on before he actually gets a proper look at him says so much about their relationship.

One of the only scenes in OP that I do think loses something from the sub to the dub is Sanji finding Zoro in thriller bark. Like it’s really not that different in the grand scheme of things, and I think the dub gets the point across, but when I watch them back to back I feel like

I’m fine anyway any fellow autistics have bedsheet recommendations because trying to find bedding I like is the bane of my existence
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
The autistic experience of the only set of bedsheets you like ripping, so you go to buy the same set only to find out it’s a vintage brand your mom bought who knows how long ago that’s been discontinued and is only available used on eBay and you don’t know what you did for god to hate you like this

Objectively, what is canon is that Sanji SAYS he hated his time on Kamabaka. Anything beyond that is an interpretation of the text. Whether or not you BELIEVE Sanji when he says that is an interpretation of the text.
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
I can’t stand when people say it’s “not canon” that Sanji overcompensates his masculinity/heterosexuality or that he actually did like Kamabaka ect, because it’s a perfectly viable explanation of the text. Neither interpretation is more “canon” than the other.
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
There’s a difference between statements that are objectively not true (e.g. “One Piece has no queer characters.”) and statements that depend on your own personal interpretation of the text material. (e.g. “Sanji did/did not enjoy his two years on Kamabaka.”)
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
Something that you think is an extremely obvious way to interpret a story is not the way someone else interprets it. There is a distinct version of One Piece that exists in the heads of everyone who’s watched it.

Trying to explain anything on Twitter is like trying to talk to the worlds worst brick wall but every time there’s more OP fandom discourse I just wish I could explain that there is no one correct way to interpret canon.

Truly it’s a wonder that he’s never had a “relationship” that lasted more than a week, whatever could the reason be surely it’s not him
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
He’s very suddenly learning a lot of things about himself 😂

Me: I don’t have particularly bad RSD

Also me: What if all the cool zosan creators have their own discord server and I’m not likable enough to get invited
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
His freak ass absolutely would
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
Literally he’s like “say that shit to me in English you coward”

Sanji, whispering in Zoro’s ear in French with a sexy voice: If you leave the cabinets open in my fucking kitchen one more time I’m going to filet you like a fish.
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
This is so zosan I’m dying 😭😭😂

You ever just really want to read a new fic but trying to find a fic you want to read is too much work so you just sit there hoping one of the writers you like just happens to drop a new story or chapter like
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
I feel this lol, mine is “write a bunch of unrelated scenes for the same general idea before I forget them, then rearrange them like puzzle pieces until they form some semblance of a story, and then fill in the gaps, edit until it makes sense” 😂😂
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
I’m pretty sure the French made it specifically for them
purplepenntapus.bsky.social
I think it’s a shame when has Sanji use a French endearment other than “mon chou” for Zoro because it’s just so perfect like what do you MEAN it means “my darling” but directly translates to “my cabbage” ???? That’s so zosan coded I could cry
