Niji said to Sanji:"God, you're slow. Try this suit!"
But a few chapters before Sanji kicked Oven without the latter even noticing it (Pound also didn't, but that's not the Point).
This Kind of inconsistency is so unusual for Oda.
Like I said, if Sanji does that for the greater good, I'm fine with it, but Over all this suit and where it is coming from, screams Soge King.
If it is for the purpose of showing Sanji as Power Ranger once, I'm also fine with it.
Let's hope it has some good Gadgets and that Zeff never finds out about Sanji relying on weapon-tech (you know, like Krieg did).
Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !

They all seem to have different powers. Like NIji is the only one that demonstrated the speed thing. Sanji was shown fast, at least yonji and judge didn't seem to have superior speed, so niji is like kizaru facing sanji and bragging that sanji is slow compared to him. Only in comparisonn with the very few super speed guys like kizaru, niji, kuma maybe sanji's speed is nothing, but it is with everyone else.
-
I definitely had a dream in which Sanji was using his raid suit last night. I've had many One Piece related dreams, but that was among the wildest.

Was it entertaining? I only dreamt once about OP. Was after WB's 1st intro (so Long ago!). In that dream he snipped the Barrel he was drinking like someone snips his fingers or snips a cigarette away. He was one-shotting an Opponent with that snipped Barrel (it was a f***ing fast shot).
And my older brother once dreamt bout Mihawk. He should give Mihawk his sword (the black blade) but even by using both Hands my brother wasn't able to even lift that sword.
Power-lvl-discussion over! -
My read on what Zeff said was more along the lines that the human will and spirit can trump any perceived superiority given by weapons. And not that he is neccasarily opposed to using tools per se. Like in that despite what Krieg could pull out he was in spirit much weaker than well known pirate dumbass Luffy

Then let's hope Page One isn't as "dumbass" as Luffy. Unrelated Topic:
seeing Cracker and Urouge in a cover was kinda weird IMO (despite they have a past together and despite the chapter Content with the BM-pirates).
You know what a cool cover would be? Smoker, Akainu, Croc and Bege arguing about which cigar-brand is the best (Smoker and Akainu defending the marine-brand and Bege/Croc defending whatever brand they smoke). Since they're all cigar smokers, it'd be cool to see them together (or not see them because of all the smoke they produce). -

I usually have dreams like this when I'm super curious about what's going to happen next in a chapter. The weirdest part is that I'm not sure if I was watching Sanji, or watching myself as Sanji, doing stuff. Dreams are weird, at least mine are.
-
But I also accept that because of the weight of this situation, for Sanji to say, "Hey, this is a core rule that I'll bend if no one can find out about it."
Some might say he's breaking it but from his perspective, it's only breaking it if people find out it's him using it.
Sanji himself will know he did it though…and he was the only one on the crew who cared about the principle in the first place. Only, he doesn't seem to have any hesitation about using it now - in fact, the final panel evokes quite the opposite.

-
From everything I could think of, the two things that stick to mind are:
1. The Great Sanjiman - ode to DBZ.
2. Suit does not cover Sanji's face so Usopp gives him the Soge King mask, and they both alternate in being the hero moving forward. Both trying to conceal their identities.Although, I have been eagerly awaiting Usopp to don the mask in an epic fashion co sidering Dressrosa was not the place he used it. And what sort of "change" would the mask represent. An easy one would be Usopp's control on Haki.
-
This just shouldn't become a regular Thing, cause it is not even Sanji's fighting style.
Eh, there's no way to know that right now. The only thing we've confirmed the suit does combat-wise is greatly enhance your physical abilities. Outside of that we know it:
- makes you resistant to fire
- is bulletproof
- allows you to hover in midair, as well as fly
- can mimic other people's voices through touching them (might be anime-only)
None of those would drastically change how Sanji fights. The raid suits do also seem to have specialized ways to augment what the Vinsmoke siblings can do, but as we've seen, they can use those abilities without the suit.
-
Let's hope it has some good Gadgets and that Zeff never finds out about Sanji relying on weapon-tech (you know, like Krieg did).
You know, I was slowly accepting Sanji getting the raid suit as a permanent powerup for various reasons. But you are correct, this is absolutely Don-Krieging it, no matter how you twist it. If he keeps using it, that is.
-

Seems to be a common take that Zeff is some kind of crazed luddite who is fundamentally opposed to technology. Using a device that enhances his hard earned skills does not remove or diminish Sunkist's own power or spirit anymore than Sauron's swords do in my estimation. Like i sort of got the it's tainted technology by association angle, but the it would anger Zeff angle completely whizzes past my head. Using any sort of aid or enhancement = being Don Kreig just doesn't square with my take of the scene at all. And i could be hella wrong, but i can't see how Zeff's speech about the will to die for your cause translates to using tools is wrong in it self
-
I would be far more mad if suddenly Usopp would use it without any connections to this
Same as Sabo was the only one for the Mera because of his connection to Ace
And what gadgets? The hovering pads and the bullet and heat resistance plus stamina boost?
While it would help Usopp for some stuff it actually isn't fitting his shooter fighting style
Same as it wouldn't fit Franky's

Usopp zipping around the battlefield and using his COO to avoid baddies and hit impossible shots while floating around would be awesome.

You are aware that it just boost stats.
Usopp wouldn't be suddenly God speed like Niji. Non of the Germa was a shooter but a physical fighter
And the main problem is still the connection to all this

I'm just pointing out that the enhancements offered by a raid suit could fit Usopp's fighting style. Imagine his natural abilities being enhanced, say, in his fight against Chew, or his fight against Daruma. I think an Usopp who moved a bit quicker and could zip around the battlefield would be more interesting than the Pop Green Usopp we've had post-timeskip.

Well to each their own as it seems. I love Usopp as he is and having seen the Vinsmokes in action I say Sanji would benefit more of it without having a drastic change in his style.
That's why I asked what gadgets? Judge for example.hasnt the hovering pads which Sanji doesn't need but the jet boot could empower his kicks
The heat resistance could somehow be connected to Diable Jambe to produce even more and hotter fire
Bulletproof is nice but not really needed
The most interesting thing is the boost of stats… Which was mentioned twice for Sanji. One time as praise my soldiers that he is already strong without suit and once as mocking by Niji
But first we have to see the suit after all
Further more Sanji might still have a chance to wake his latent mutant powers and exoskeleton.
What if the raid suit, which is DNA locked as we have learned, will be able to bring it out
-
The charm of usopp is kind of lost when he goes from a brilliant but vulnerable sniper to a bulletproof power ranger that can fly
-
I remember when people were pushing for Sanji to get Ace's fruit as an upgrade, even though it would've completely changed his fighting style. To me, I'm fine with The Suit becoming his go-to style for fighting. (ignoring the emotional aspect..)
As for Usopp, I don't think his long range style needs that kind of power up.
-
Only, he doesn't seem to have any hesitation about using it now - in fact, the final panel evokes quite the opposite.
And while I don't disagree with you, let's look at why he's using the suit. The core reason.
It's to protect his identity which in turn protects his crew & plan.
Not for a 'power-up'.
So if Sanji was in a pinch and pulled it out for power in a pinch, I would hope to hell he wouldn't simply have a grin on his face like that. But this? Even as someone who predicted he could use it after serious family reconciliation, I can accept this as within boundaries for Sanji's character norm.
I'm surprised by it! That's fo sho!!! But looking at the presentation it's another,
'Hmmm, yeah, that does fit his character' realization.(Side-note: please be careful about assuming they have latent elemental etc. powers w/o suits. Yes, I know there are examples of them using powers in other clothes or kiddie clothes but it might be too soon to assume they weren't wearing other forms of enhancement or those kiddie clothes weren't mini Raid Suits. I don't feel strongly one way or the other but I've been burned on a professional level by making assumptions like that in the past so just a word from experience. Not stomping on any theories, just putting it out there. )

@Long:

The bulletproof part, maybe, but I think Flying Usopp would be brilliant. What do you guys think Usopp will be like at the end of the series, or even given a long term timeskip in a potential epilogue? I think all types of gadgets and gimmicks are his thing and even stuff like brief flight could be great for him.
-
I'd love to see that. Esp. if he and Lindberg (sp) get together. Naturally it'd have to work on sweet potato farts or something.
-
Usopp has always had an association with plants and the Pop Greens are an extension of that theme. It seems strange to go a completely different direction with him using the Raid Suit, especially when he has no story ties to it whatsoever.
-
I would love it if there was a way to incorporate Seastone into Usopp's arsenal as a way to fight DF users, just like the needles (nails) that were used against Law.
-

Don Krieg, a pirate with superhuman strength, wears special armor and a techno spear.
Sanji, a pirate with superhuman strength, wears special armor with various techno gadgets.
It's the exact same thing. Put a mask on Don Krieg and you have Judge. Can't believe I didn't see the parallel earlier.
Zeff may not be against technology, I don't know about that, but he certainly looked down on people who hide behind those type of powerups. What did Sanji do to earn the enhanced abilities of the raid suit? Nothing, except for being born into the right family.
Now, let's compare it to the other Straw Hats' seemingly random powerups:
! - Sauron trained swordsmanship since his childhood. The swords are nothing without his hard-earned skills. One of his blades tries to kill him through some sort of voodoo curse. The other sword is famed, but hard to use ("a problem child"). And the third is a memento of his master, who deemed him worthy to wield it after a life of training under him. Zoro may get blade upgrades out of the blue, but he also worked his ass off to make them work. He even lost an eye on the way to the top. Unless it's a secret Mihawkigan, but please no :S.
! - Nami just got the power of a Yonkou handed to her, almost for free! But the same logic applies to her: Zeus is only useful because Nami has secret weather knowledge she worked very hard for, he only allows her to effectively channel her own weather abilities. No weather balls, no El-Thor mass destruction!
! - Franky stumbled upon Vegapunk's lab, blueprints for various machines included. Jackpot! Yet Franky still had to make them work, and Oda even made it a point that Franky didn't just copy Vegapunk, but actually realized plans Vegapunk either abandoned or failed to realize. The lab jump started his creativity, his own potential. Like he went to Vegapunk University for two years or something.
! - Robin, Brook & Chopper trained their fruit powers.
! - Usopp just awakened CoO, apart from being the gadget guy. Everything super-earned, with sugar on top.The raidsuit, on the other hand, just gives you a static powerboost. You don't have to be genetically enhanced or specifically trained in order to profit from it, see Judge. It just makes you faster and more resilient, with some nifty extra perks (which Sanji's base abilties already cover, as Kishido noted in several other threads). The only thing it would do for Sanji is to give him + 50 points to all stats. And he gains access to those + 50 statpoints not because of Zeff's school of hard knocks, or because of his hellish timeskip training. He simply gets the powerup for having the correct DNA to break the lock on the Raidsuit-Canister.
Don Krieg bought an armor made of Diamonds, Sanji gets a techno suit from Daddy.
He may use it to conceal his identity, maybe even oneshot Page One with it for some juicy 'Ultraman Dinosaur Great War' - omage, but I just can't see it being permanent now.
"No matter how many hundreds of weapons or armour one is equipped with, they're no match for that one special spear that comes from your guts" - Zeff
Watch Sanji quoting this when he beats Queen in 30 Chapters.
As for Usopp and the suit, I also had that in mind for a long time, but never as a direct powerup. In my head he would attempt to break the DNA-lock on the raid suit, successfully transforming, but without gaining the benefits the suits usually grants. Basically just a flashy way to transform into Sogeking, hero of dreams. It's still one of his lies that have to become reality at one point after all!
-
By the same token that swords or weather deities take skill to handle wouldn't the raid suit be fairly mundane without the skills of the operator? In that sure anybody would get a boost but it only becomes overpowered if the base operator is actually any good at what he does with it. Joe average making a jet kick might crush a boulder but Sunkist with a kick boost would punt you thru the rock and two towns over, zip over there before you arrive and heelkick you into the solid ground. I mean it seems fairly arbitrary to state that Nami or Zoro's upgrades being thrown at them are skill based and earned and that something that would essentially work to enhance Sunkists fighting style is just a no skill gimme. But that's really beside my only real point that i don't think Zeff is anti-technology as much as he is pro-heart. Which Sunkist still has in spades and is never in the danger of losing
-
@Jabra:
I think Whole Cake Island Arc is the answer to the question your asking. The hell he went through when he was a kid, and his sacrifices and feats (especially with his family) during the arc, its (the suit) basically something that he could've had since the beginning of the series, but was denied because of his 'lacking DNA'.Also, if you look at the story after the timeskip, Sanji has struggled multiple times in his fights and hadn't had an actual one-on-one fight or won in a fight.
And like you mentioned the power-up might not be that great, so it will not be as cheap (if you want to look at it that way).
Finally, Zeff's quote would've been great if it was used against the Vinsmoke themselves .
-
I would stand strongly on the side that the raid suit is a power boost that stands against what Sanji has fought his entirely life against.
But that's why I can accept him using it this way, as a disguise. I don't think he cares a lick about being stronger/faster.
If he did care about being stronger and if he uses the suit for that purpose in the future, I would still hope that he settles stuff with his family first.
But right now, come on folks.
We literally have a masked super hero fighting 'kaiju' in a Japanese city. That's why Oda is doing this and I'd be super PO'd if that was the only reason but, I totally buy that Sanji would make this move to hide his identity and protect the plan.
-
Sanji saw that Zoro was willing to sacrifice everything at TB, so it´s just natural for Sanji to do the same to protect his crew.
Also iam loving that Sanji might get two fights this arc, just like Oda heard us moan about the lack of Sanji fights…...maybe this is avtually HIS year finally. -
@Malty:

Did he? Using the tech from the raid suit wouldn't be to far removed from him adopting sky island tech. Plus he still has his old tools that didn't rely on plants like his black sling shot, the fire bird star, his goggles, etc. I ton of his ammo and a part of a sling shot revolve around Pop Greens but not everything.
I would love it if there was a way to incorporate Seastone into Usopp's arsenal as a way to fight DF users, just like the needles (nails) that were used against Law.
That sounds cool to me. Kind of like the way he shot the sea stone cuffs at Caesar but something he could call upon always.

This is the main thing isn't it? Well I guess I can't be mad at that. If Sanji ends up on the brink of death and uses the suit as a permanent power up then i'd mad. Maybe we'll get the full team of Power Rangers with Judge reuniting with Vegapunk this arc.

You got a Point there. But not only in fights, but Overall I remember Usoppe as the one who used different Gadgets to "compete" with other SHs as being a useful nakama.
I especially have Jaya/Skypea in mind with his strange "rope-shootin belt" or his octopus-shoes. I guess the Balance of using Gadgets has shifted to Franky, whereas Usoppe tends to use plants now in and outside of fights.
When I think of Auger, I have to assume he has developed/is using bullets which are even more penetrating as the ones Pudding used.–- Update From New Post Merge ---
But kinda like Jabra said, the fact that Usoppe created Sogeking as a Hero-alter ego and the fact that there is a Comic based on G66 and their tech, both make me think that this suit would suit Sogeking very well.
-
So are vismokes like cyborgs, franky? It seems yonji had extendable robot like arm also his head seems robot like.
-
@uniaka:

No they aren't
The head is just exoskeleton and that's why it is strange… Think about Wolverine.
Yonji is special because of his Green Winch ability based on Clover King.
Still find it a very bad idea for Usopp having it but no denying it being a possibilty for him... Still the connections are like the Mera Mera completely in Sanji's favour and he not only has to first learn to use it but also has to overcome him past trauma relationship with his family (aka only his dad and bros)... Like Reiju said... She hates being a Vinsmoke but has hope because of Sora and Sanji that there is good in th family.
On top on that Sora is also the name of the comic hero who fought AGAINST the evil Germa and also used a suitAnd again... All of the Vinsmokes are physical fighter and some shooters. All this doesn't fit into Usopp
Further more about the Zeff quote against Don Krieg. I doubt he meant that tech sucks but that Don Krieg ONLY relied on this and not his own power.
Sanji wouldn't rely on it becoming all sloppy because the suit... And strangely Luffy and Co encouraged him using it because there is nothing wrong with it
-
What I can totally see Happening, is that IF Usoppe can't really put on that suit because of DNA-lock and whatnot, he'll witness the suit. He wasn't @WCI and is right now "coincidently" with Sanji.
That Thing will inspire Usoppe to make a suit for himself.
It won't be as Hightech as the actual suit, but I think Usoppe is a creative Person, who will make such a Thing.
Like how Chopper witnessed Carrot’s Sulong-form. -

And I know Usopp is a creative guy and all, but what you're suggesting is more in Franky's ballpark if anything. That said, there's really no reason for Oda to give him an inferior suit, as we don't need multiple people using technological suits to begin with. Unless you mean that Usopp will use an inferior suit, and Sanji won't bother with the raid suit ever again, but that'd be pretty pointless.

Usoppe is with Sanji right now, so he can see that suit in Action. (at least I hope he sees it, like Chopper saw Carrot's Sulong form).
About Franky's ballpark: Nami asked Usoppe for a newer clima-tact @SA, right? An inferior suit would eliminate the loss of charm Usoppe would suffer from the actual suit, which was a good Point to bring up.
This guy combined his plants with dials (Impact Wolf). Is it really that unimaginable that he could make a suit based on dial-Technology and his versatile Pop greens (inspired by G66's raid suits)?
And who says Franky can't/won't help him on such a Project? -
Uspp is all cool and all and creative with some skills.
But he for sure isn't Judge level scientist… If anyone Franky could do it better
-
So a Sogeking with Gadgets like a wannabe-batman with a lot of Comedy-potential if those Gadgets go wrong (be it by malfunction or whatnot) is unimaginable?
Checked. -

If he has some suitcase with him and puts his suit on himself it would be funny

I agree too but Id like usopp to make such a thing himself with him maybe taking inspiration from sanji. Also perhaps instead of flying he just uas these shoes with big strings on them, inspector gadget style lol

Thanks. That's what I meant the last Posts. Imagine him with self-built wings powered by some dials. Or his plants as devices to walk over water.
The Point is: this suit could INSPIRE Usoppe to utilize his stuff (plants/dials) in a way he hasn't thought of before.And Kishido: Maybe it won't fit in a can, but Franky has this Memory shape alloy from Wapometal. So it could be form-shaped to a certain degree.
Maybe he can even manipulate his plants to grow around him and built the suit that way. -
Greg is the Vjump article legit ?

Well it seems like he's using it for three purposes going by his statements. Protection so that he can't get hurt, to speed up the in kicking of the skrillex dino's skull before the others arrive and to disguise himself. So i mean essentially he's already tipped his hand on the whole he'd never use it for the features hope no?

My interpretation was that Sanji resolved to use it purely for the potential disguise. From his drop kick entrance to his statements I don't get a sense that he's using it to power up and speed up the process of defeating Page One.
-

Well it's mostly from the context of the conversation. Law tells them that they can't fight because even if they win they could get hurt and doom them all, and if that win takes too long then the rest of the enemies will end them and Sunkist tells him he has a solution to it. From the progression of the conversation it seems strange if Sunkists solution (which does de facto adress all problems) wasn't intended to also adress the other two elephants in the room. To my mind the it's 100% a disguise and nothing else read only makes sense if you come in to it with that particular mindset from the get go. But as always it's just my take, and i could be as hella wrong about this as people think i am about Zeff.
-
What makes it suspicious is the cocksureness of Sanji defeating Pageone both in time and without getting any injury in return. It's just such an over the top bold claim.
I mean yeah, I can see Sanji dealing with someone of Pageone's calibre just fine (see Oven), but he's acting like this will be a perfect oneshot. What makes him so confident if he doesn't count on a massive powerup? Even Zoro the lovechild got injured by Hawkins during their brief clash.
Someone in the regular thread even suggested that Sanji won't even beat him through fighting, but through some other clever plan that involves the Raid Suit canister somehow. Like letting it explode in Page One's face or something….?
-
Would really be bad if the ancient spinosaurus fruit will be used to hype the raid suit, and it's not even the end of the arc. Like from the half baked smiles headliners( holdem, sheephead, horsegirl, hippobutt warden) we finally get one of the best ancient fruits out there, and it's just for raid suit hype?
