official merchandise / promotional material with strong zosan energy (a thread🧵) ⬇️
• all official by toei / jump (no fan creations)
• i’ll put in descriptions (year, merch line, lore, etc) if i know them
• feel free to add info and correct me if i’m wrong
zoro when a the prettiest lady in wano is bandaging him up: i sleep
zoro when sanji is bandaging him up: babe. babe do you know how to use a bandage. babe look at me. do you think i’m hot
i know the official translation used “thanks”, but the japanese line is “悪いな”, which i’d argue is closer to “my bad”
sanji’s biggest regret isn’t that he may die—it’s putting zoro in a position where he has to kill sanji. even until the end, he always thinks of others first
zoro, chopper and luffy don’t really use accessories unless they’re being dressed up by sanji, usopp or robin, which means there’s a high chance that this necklace zoro is wearing is a gift from sanji —
“one piece is a harem manga with sanji as the harem protagonist” i say into the mic. the crowd boos, i begin to walk off in shame. a voice breaks through. “no, she’s right." i turn around and there he is. shun saeki
sanji fought to stay alive because zoro told him to and zoro fought to survive because of the very same promise he had with sanji. their bond is literally keeping each other alive. what kind of soulmate bullshit is this
jp fandom is saying that this sash looks like zoro’s and all i can say is genius. groundbreaking. the japan zosan fandom is truly living in the year 3022
one of my favorite zosan tropes is when sanji is conflicted about his relationship with zoro, wondering if this affection they have for each other is love, while zoro thinks they have been married for the past six years
theres been a new wave of content where sanji is jealous of the crew eating other ppls food and it’s a fun hc but i need ppl to know canonically hes not competitive abt his cooking skills….hes just a boy who likes trying new things and learning from other ppls cultures!!!
dudebros who ship zorobin are too focused on whether zoro wants to fuck robin or not. first of all he is gay so no. but more importantly do you think robin would want to fuck a man who only showers once a week? free her
pov: you’re visiting this floating restaurant in the all blue and the food is amazing but it’s so hard to compliment the head chef bc he keeps flirting with the world’s greatest swordsman
stop speculating about sanji’s bounty amount and start speculating about his bounty PICTURE. will oda finally have mercy and give him a good photo. a very important and pressing issue
sanji was by zoro’s side of the bed when he woke up he was by zoro’s side waiting for him to wake up there are two beds but HES ON ZOROS SIDE SPECIFICALLY WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ODA
if compared to the original manga, you can see that this panel is from zoro’s pov. which means that this is zoro watching sanji smile from across the table like a lovestruck fool that he is, in this essay i will —
i know zoro and sanji’s heights are pretty much the same but sanji has little meow meow energy and zoro has big meow meow energy. they have the spiritual size difference. no i will not elaborate
absolutely loving this attention to detail — even the seating placement and the food on the table are accurate. shokugeki no sanji is such a wonderful love letter to one piece
every time oda forgets to draw sanjis facial hair he immediately looks so, so young…….especially combined with the eyebrow that’s reminiscent of his pre timeskip eyebrow………baby……
zoro refusing to die because he has made a promise with sanji — zoro, half conscious, and still managing to find the energy to smirk and tell sanji, “i can’t die yet, i made a promise to kill you.”
oda, jump and toei working together to fulfil the sanji stans' hierarchy of needs: sanji winning a fight, sanji having soft moments, sanji with beautiful wavy hair, sanji wearing slutty pants, new shokugeki no sanji chapter
sanji grew up thinking he didn't deserve to be loved and alive and to chase his dreams and zoro barged into his life showing him that he can, that he's allowed to fight for what he wants, that he is as strong as the man who will became the greatest
can we take a moment to appreciate the person who made the zosan commercial. these are actual interactions between zoro and sanji throughout the series, which means someone had to go through all 102 volumes and compile everything
im STILL thinking about this scene and i think i’ve figured out what made this so romantic on top of the low lighting and the familiar bickering: it’s the soft, fond chuckle zoro made when sanji started talking about food
you can't tell me that this whole scene isn't romantic at all. the lighting? the ambiance? zoro and sanji's small bickering? their soft voices???? they're canon, your honor
the fact that they’re still continuing the tradition of zoro and sanji getting stupidly competitive for new year’s games :’) we love to see these two dumb boys
did sanji want to save kin’emon bc he is reminded of his own “father”……judge abandoned him, and he didn’t want kin’emon’s son to feel like he was abandoned by kin’emon, too
i think it’s funny when people write sanji as being rly good at dirty talking when canonically every time he met a girl he found hot all he managed to say is “hhkdhgkgakjsdm”
how did sanji even put a den den mushi in zoro’s sash without zoro noticing? unless
1) they had to take their clothes off
2) zoro is so used to having sanji touching/being close to him that he didn’t notice anything wrong
either way there’s no heterosexual explanation for this
i actually really like the modern au concept where zoro is the rich one who lives in a mansion with his goth family while sanji is. well. a cook. but i don’t have a plot i just like this concept
sanji could’ve called literally anyone but he called zoro, his equal, his partner, the one he trusted most with his life. and zoro could’ve ignored him, refused to answer until he knew what was going on but he didn’t, he said yes, immediately, bc it was what sanji needed to hear
Sanji taking care of Zoro in chapter 1012 was heartwarming. In Film Gold (2016), Oda advised that the staff should definitely add a scene where Sanji is secretly worried about Zoro, who was going to be executed. On the other hand, Zoro was worried about Sanji in chapter 815☺️
zs soulmate au where if you die, your soulmate also dies. zoro’s the only one who knows sanji is his soulmate; when sanji asks zoro to kill him, he’s unknowingly asking zoro to kill himself, too
zoro says yes without a single moment of hesitation
