History of Sanji
At the tender age of ten, Sanji was an energetic apprentice cook aboard the passenger ship Orbit. Sanji’s dream was to find a sea spoken of in legends known as All Blue. It was a hidden sea, the location of which was a mystery and no known existing texts made mention of it. Some dismissed it as rumor but others like Sanji believed in it. In All Blue, fish and sea creatures from the four oceans of the world, East Blue, West Blue, North Blue and South Blue all live together. It is a cook’s greatest dream to have such a resource at one’s disposal, a veritable treasure chest for skilled chefs.
As these things often go, Sanji’s dreams were big, but his age and inexperience at sea were proof of his novice status as a cook. For example, he couldn’t stand the thought of eating the leftovers from passenger’s dinner plates, but the other cooks all gobbled it up. They warned him that living at sea was unpredictable and things could change at any moment. On one stormy evening, things did change.
"Red-Leg" Zeff and his crew, The Cook Pirates, seized the Orbit. Having recently returned from the Grand Line, Zeff and his crew of culinary culprits were looking for some booty. Zeff did not hold his men back as they stripped the passengers of their valuables, but reacted violently when he saw that one of his men had looted food from the ship. Zeff was unforgiving as he kicked his own crewmember across the deck of the ship with the powerful right leg from his nickname. Zeff warned his men never to deprive others of their food and he would not tolerate any exceptions to the rule.
Elsewhere on deck, Sanji was creating a stir by wielding two carving knives and attempting to fight back against the pirates. Despite the pleas of his superiors, the cooks and the passengers, Sanji would not back down. He caught Zeff’s attention and the pirate effortlessly launched him to the other side of the deck with his knee. Zeff turned to leave but Sanji mustered all of his strength and bit the pirate’s ankle declaring that he would not die on the ship and he would find All Blue. The pirates laughed at his words and the cooks were embarrassed to hear him talk about a fantasy but Zeff remained silent. Again Zeff kicked the boy away without so much as a word. Although he was bleeding profusely, Sanji once again vowed not to be killed by the pirates. Meanwhile Zeff’s men begged him hurry as the storm was quickly growing dangerous. Just as he was about to board his own ship a tremendous wave hit the deck and washed Sanji overboard. Zeff leapt into the air and kicked off the top of the Orbit’s mast and fell with it near where Sanji had gone over. The pirates called out for their captain, but their voices were droned out by the gargantuan tidal wave that consumed and sunk both the Orbit and the pirate ship of "Red-Leg" Zeff.
Two days later, Sanji awoke. He was still alive, and it was a fair weather day, before him he saw Zeff seated on the edge of a cliff. Instinctively Sanji tried to move but couldn’t budge, after all, a pirate known for his powerful kicks had struck him twice. Zeff cut no corners and let Sanji know what kind of situation they were in. There was no food beyond what had washed up on top of the barren rock they were stranded on in the middle of the ocean. Access to the water (which would have been useful for fishing) was out of the question because the surrounding waves’ erosion had made it such that jumping down would be safe, but climbing up would be impossible. Their only rations were in two bags. Sanji was furious with the old man for putting them in that position to begin with by attacking the ship. Zeff was unmoved by Sanji’s verbal assault but to 'make up' for it he gave Sanji the smaller of two bags of rations which contained five day’s worth of full meals. Sanji was furious that the pirate had a larger bag of rations, but Zeff justified that by virtue of him being an adult with a larger stomach. The old man then got up and began walking away, he announced that he was moving to the other side of the rock to search for ships. He suggested that Sanji should refrain from making any contact with him or move around at all in order to conserve strength and energy. But should he see a ship, he should get Zeff’s attention immediately. And so Zeff left the boy alone and their struggle for survival began.
Sanji began by running the odds of rescue through his head and formed a meal plan. He rationalized that a search party ship might appear in 4-5 days. Just to be on the safe side, he would divide his 5 day’s worth of food into 20 day’s worth, eating just less than a meal a day. He also noticed that rain-water collected in sunken areas of the rock he was on, so drinking water would not be a big problem. Sanji was sure he would be just fine.
On the fifth day, torrential rains plagued Sanji and in a cruel twist of fate, a ship passed by on that very day. His voice droned out by the storm, Sanji tried in earnest to create a fire using wood from the wreckage, but it came to no avail. The rains had completely soaked everything and the ship passed before his eyes.
On the 25th day Sanji was down to his final piece of moldy bread. He cried as he remembered the cooks he worked with, eating up the leftovers from the customers. Now he knew first-hand why they did such a thing, 'just in case'.
On the 30th day it was all he could do to look out on the sea and keep telling himself someone was coming.
On the 50th day he could no longer encourage himself as he looked out to sea while rain poured.
On the 70th day he was just the shell of a human. Overcome by delusion and anger, with knife in hand, Sanji ventured over to Zeff’s side to kill him and take his food. Zeff heard him coming and asked if he had seen a ship. Sanji saw Zeff's bag full of food and eyed it hungrily. He announced that he had come to kill Zeff and steal his food. He plunged the knife into the ration bag and tore it open. Piece after piece of golden treasures fell out of the hole he made in the bag, there was no food inside. Zeff commented on the irony, he had all the money he needed and no food to buy with it. Sanji couldn’t understand what was happening. If Zeff had no food, then how had he survived? He grabbed the shriveled old man and fell back when he saw his body. His right leg was missing. Suddenly the reality of what had occurred hit him, the old man had cut off and eaten his own leg to survive.
From the very start Zeff gave the young cook all the food he had. Showing more energy than he had in days, Sanji was in tears begging to know why the old man did it since he had never been kind to Zeff. Zeff explained that it was because they both shared the same dream, to find All Blue. He wanted Sanji to accomplish what he, in a year of searching the Grand Line, could not. He reassured the boy that the Grand Line was like a different world and such a sea could exist there.
As if he were speaking his last words, the old man talked of a new dream he had to restart his life by creating a portable restaurant, a sea-faring dining hall that could help out people just like him and the boy. Sanji cried and vowed to help make his dream a reality so long as he did not die. The former pirate captain laughed at Sanji’s words and told him he was to weak to do such a thing. Sanji promised Zeff he would get stronger.
On the 85th day, sailors spotted them by chance and picked up the one-legged old man and the young boy in a cook’s outfit. They were both unconscious but still breathing and clinging to life. Time passed and they made a full recovery. Zeff used all of the money he had left to build the floating restaurant he called the Baratie Restaurant. His Assistant Head Chef was Sanji, a boy destined to follow in his trainer’s footsteps as a great chef and to become a man with the strongest kick in East Blue.
Notes on Sanji
Personality
If Zoro is the series’ resident badass, then Sanji is the staple cool-as-ice lady’s man. Unlike most sweet-talkers, Sanji really is incredibly attractive, fairly intelligent and has a level head…unless it involves women.
Because of his ordeal at sea, Sanji will never refuse giving food to anyone that is hungry regardless of their reputation, lack of funds or social standing.
Even though Sanji is crazy about ladies, he is also a gentleman. He will not allow insult or injury to any woman in his presence while he can still stand. In fact, it's a policy Sanji stakes his life on. He would rather die than kick a woman.
remotely competative becomes a grueling battle for superiority between the two. Luckily they have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that when they absolutely positively have to work together, not only can they do it, but between heaven and earth there's little that can stand in their path.
Characteristics
Sanji’s curly right eyebrow is supposedly one of the seven great mysteries of One Piece according to what Oda said in an SBS, which means he could have completely made that up to be weird.
According to Oda, Sanji most resembles a duck.
You may notice that Sanji is famous for his kicks; he does not normally use his hands in combat. Naturally that's because he is a chef that was taught by "Red-Leg" Zeff! What could possibly be more important to a chef than his own two hands? He does not wish to risk injury to them.
Sanji smokes...a lot. There are few times he isn’t seen with a cigarette hanging from his mouth. Next to his eyebrow and chin stubble, it is one of his defining characteristics.
For some reason, Sanji uses the word “shit” a lot. The pirates whom he worked with on the Baratie Restaurant also used “shit” to no end so he isn’t the only one. He ends up making a lot of interesting descriptions this way, the most famous of which is, “Shitty Restaurant.”
Sanji appears to be the 4th tallest human crew member as of Vol. 47.
Trivia, Puns & Observations
Sanji’s birthday is another whimsical play on words and numbers. “SAN” meaning three and “JI” which can refer to the “second” of a series of items, for example, a second-born son or daughter. And there's your 3/2. Clever Oda.
According to Oda in a SBS, Sanji "has" 930 Maerchen Ero Ero's......WHATEVER THE BLOODY HELL THAT MEANS! (Note: "ero" is a way to infer something sexy or erotic)
Sanji has the power to destroy 21 wooden baseball bats with one kick. You guessed it. This figure came from an SBS.
Sanji wears a jacket in Drum that has "59" embroidered on his right shoulder (Vol.17 pg60) and a T-shirt with the same numbers printed on it in color spreads. This is a play on the Japanese pronunciation of 'cook'. 'GO' for 5 may be warped to 'KO', add to that 'KUU' for 9 and you've got 'KOKU'. Now stretch that consonant and you've got 'KOKKU' or cook in Japanese.
Sanji has an odd habit of attaching 'san' to the end of Nami's name and 'chan' to the end of the second female crew member's name even though their ages would require the reverse of that.
Sanji’s attacks are mainly named in French. Although his attacks do have kanji, what he actually says is written in katakana. This makes it extremely difficult to figure out what the heck he is saying since it is another language’s variation of another language that I don’t speak at all.
Over time, Sanji has grown into the role of the crew's very own Secret Agent Man. Beginning with a certain famous incident, Sanji has repeatedly gone silently off on his own to rectify the 'situation' with his own two hands (or feet). Whenever Sanji disappears without an explanation, you know he's off being a one man army in order to create a safe escape passage, gather reconnaissance or just kick the living crap out of something that needs kicking.
In Sanji's attack list below, under the listing Hand-Carved Cuisine, you'll find attack(s) that Sanji performs without the use of his feet. This was a very rare (and ridiculously cool) treat for fans but it is not likely to be a common theme. Sanji will only use 'weapons' or rather 'utensils' if his opponent is...well...food. This sounds absurd and while it totally is, it made complete sense for a villain who employed a very real form of 'food fighting'. Will we ever see this side of Sanji again? We can only hope!
Sanji rests comfortably in 3rd Place according to the results of the 2005 'Your Favorite Techniques' vote claiming 5 of the Top 30 techniques in the series. This includes Armee De L'Air Power Shoot which he shares with Zoro.
Sanji 'officially' joined the crew in Chapter 68 - 'The Fourth'.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Sanji’s greatest weakness is also his greatest strength, his mad desire and respect for women. It brings out the best, the worst, the strongest and the weakest in him, particularly his uncontrollable lust for Nami. It almost ends up being the death of him in a certain battle. He has no control over his infatuation with her and it is physically impossible for him to ever harm her or let any male attempt to do so while he is still able to stand. This is why it is also his strength; if someone involves a woman such as Nami in a conflict where she cannot defend herself, Sanji will pull out the big guns. To a lesser extent he also lusts after the other female crew member, but his obsession with her is not nearly as sick.

Concasse means to slice coarsely, but the kanji in the name of this attack read, ‘Crush the Defect’. In 2005, this was selected as the 23rd most popular attack in the first One Piece 'Your Favorite Techniques' vote with 80 votes. |

Torowajemu Asshi | Troisieme Hache | Third-Rate Mincemeat | Hamburg, Jabura | Vol.33 pg134. Vol.43 pg102.Sanji cartwheels or leaps straight towards his opponent and uses his own momentum to land a flying drop-kick to his opponent's face and/or shoulder. | |
|---|
Bukuteiru Shuuto | Bouquetiere Shoot | Mixed Vegetables Shot | Hamburg | Vol.33 pg135.From a position beneath his opponent, Sanji uses his arms for balance to kick both legs up into the target's jaw, sending them and anything they hold, into the air for a painful drop. The joke behind this name is somewhat unclear. The kanji for the attack reads "Chopped Mokusei" with mokusei being a fragrant olive tree known as 'Asmanthus' in English. However, the katakana name indicates a French dish, the main ingredient being cauliflower, or mixed veggies. This may be in reference to the giant clubs his opponent was holding which were sent into the Stratosphere along with the unlucky fellow. | |
|---|
Suraisu Shuuto | | Slice Shoot | Ao Kiji | Vol.34 pg.79Sanji jumps toward his opponent and gives a rising vertical kick to a weapon in the enemy's possession propelling it out of their grasp. As a part of the Shoot Series in which Sanji traditionally indicates what/where he is attacking it is very possible this is specifically for attacking swords. The kanji for 'slice' is 'cut beef' or 'kiriniku' which in cooking terms means shredded beef but it is not an 'official' term and is not written in the comprehensive Japanese dictionary, Koujien. | |
|---|
Paatei Teeburu Kikku Koosu | | Party Table Kick Course | Franky Family, Jabura | Vol.35 pg58. Vol.43 pg113.An elevated 360 degree sweeping attack where Sanji can take out an entire group of weak enemies surrouding him. Interestingly enough, Sanji also has a 'fake out' version of the attack which he may use against a single opponent while inverted, only to bail out before delivering the attack. As a fake out is unnatural for Sanji it's troubling whether to call it a separate move or not but for your reference, please note it has thus far only appeared as such in Volume 43. | |
|---|
Buroshetto | Brochette | Skewer | Jerry, Jabura | Vol.38 pg94. Vol.43 pg114.Sanji stretches out both legs into a split perpendicular to the ground and POUNDS one foot directly into his opponent's face. Easily takes out tough goons with one blow. The French translates to 'skewer' but the kanji 'kushiyaki' indicates a specific kind of grilled cuisine we commonly call kabob which is traditionally meat with vegetables. | |
|---|
Korie Furitto | Collier Fritto | Neck Fritto | World Government Agents, Odr | Vol.38 pg151. Vol.48 pg212.Sanji kicks straight up into his opponent's chin from below sending their head straight through a ceiling delivering a handy KO and disabling them to boot. Three years ago when I read the name of this attack in the manga, I dreaded writing these words. The naming of this attack is an abomination like no other. We have Japanese, French and a word that could be either French or Italian coming from a character that mostly uses French but seems to make an exception here. Collier we know to be neck, the 'furitto' is somewhat ambiguous in Japanese as it is freely used as a term for French and Italian cuisine but no distinction is made between the two very different kinds of food, 'fritto' (Italian) and 'frites' (French). Fritto indicates a style of Italian batter fry where frites is a generic term for french fries. While it seems simple that there's no such thing as 'neck fries', this creates a multi-lingual attack for Sanji which as a translator is...less than satisfying. There is at least one other main character whom Oda pulls these shenanigans with but one would hope he would limit the syntactical insanity. Welcome to my Hell. | |
|---|
Furitto Asorutei | Fritto Assortis | Assorted Fritto | World Government Agents | Vol.39 pg20.Sanji kicks one opponent into several others smashing all of their heads into a ceiling. Unlear if this attack puts their heads through said ceiling. | |

Paraaju Shotto | Parage Shot | Trimming Shot | Wanze | Vol.39 pg101.Following a series of facial kicks, this final blow physically alters the face of an opponent. In French, parage is a term for trimming away the unecessary or useless pieces on a cut of meat that would otherwise make for a distateful presentation. In the same vein it is also used as a medical term in relation to plastic surgery, particularly when in reference to lesions. Thus after the assault on his opponent's face, Sanji trims a bit here and there and essentially remodels their face. | |
|---|
Santen Dekupaaju | Santen Decoupage | Three-Point Carving | Wanze | Vol.39 pg104.Whipping his foot around with tremendous force and speed, Sanji actually appears to kick his opponent in three places at once. A devastating and powerful attack. Decoupage is commonly used in Japanese cooking as a loan word meaning 'cut out' from its origin in French, decouper. However, the term is also a kind of art once famous from (but not originating in) Japan. It consists of 'cutting out' paper and other fine material then layering it on an object with varnish. | |
|---|
Shishi Nabe Shuuto | | Wild Boar Stew Shoot | | Vol.41 pg134.With a flying kick Sanji barges straight through a wall. That's about the short and tall of it. There is no evidence that indicates this attack is dealt to any living opponent(s). In a rare move, Oda chose to have Sanji say the name of his attack, entirely in Japanese. Shishinabe is a Japanese stew made with wild boar meat and vegetables. Likely chosen because of Sanji's Kool-Aid mimic being similar to the charging rampage of a wild boar. | |
|---|
Dujemu Asshi | Deuxieme Hache | Second-Rate Mincemeat | Jabura | Vol.43 pg105.Similar in form to Troisieme Hache but given the upgrade from third-rate to second-rate, a far more powerful kick that also appears to land with more force than Troisieme Hache. This move is strong enough to send hardened martial artists flying helplessly. | |
|---|
Kyuisoo Shuuto | Ciusseau Shoot | Thigh Shoot | Jabura | Vol.43 pg114.A powerful kick to his opponent's thigh. | |
|---|
Ekusutora Asshi | Extra Hache | Premium Quality Mincemeat | Absalom | Vol.48 pgs100 & 101.Possibly the strongest move among Sanji's Mincemeat series of attacks. Although delivered in the same style as the other Mincemeat attacks instead of being a single concentrated drop-kick, Sanji kicks the air multiple times prior to impact seeming to create a barrage of kicks that are delivered evenly across an opponent's body. Without resorting to Diable Jambe this is easily Sanji's best choice for a strong opponent that is also difficult to target. It is strong enough to deliver a weight of over 661 pounds through the air and into a stone wall. The kanji literally mean 'absolute highest quality'. Note that the 'extra' in the name may refer to number of impacts his kick makes whereas the other Mincemeat attacks are all single strikes. | |

Hand-Carved Cuisine
Our Head Chef Sanji is always looking to improve our menu with his handmade speciality cooking. When given a tough ingredient, with knives in hand Sanji can carve a delicious delicacy from just about anything. | Name of Attack in Japanese | French Name | Translation | Foes Used Against | Location in Manga | Notes |
Epuryushaaju | Epluchage | Peeling | Wanze | Vol.39 pg97.Using a set of knives Sanji cuts away a layer of his opponent or something surrounding/shielding the opponent. Epluchage is a common French cuisine term for peeling and trimming vegetables in preparation for cooking. The kanji accompanying it 'kawamukisagyou' is a term used in Japanese for trimming pre-cut trees of bark. The term 'kawamuki' alone is used for peeling potatoes, grapes, etc. The kanji used here for the verb 'muku' or peel is also a uncommon form of the character. | |

From the Grill
Not satisfied with our fine cuisine? Just wait until our Head Chef Sanji 'heats up' things in the kitchen! But be careful, the plate won't be the only thing left sizzling. | Name of Attack in Japanese | French Name | Translation | Foes Used Against | Location in Manga | Notes |
Diaburu Jambu | Diable Jambe | Devil Leg | Jabura | Vol.43 pg121.Sanji plants his right leg on the ground and performs a high-speed pirouette-like series of spins. The friction causes his right leg to glow flaming red and thus Sanji initiates his 'upgrade' move, Devil Leg. Although we have not yet seen him perform many moves in this state, it seems that all of his moves are upgraded while in this state. This move borrows heavily from the comic book laws or physics as despite his white-hot glowing leg, Sanji does not catch fire or even seem to feel any discomfort even though he ignites his opponents by kicking them. Author Eiichiro Oda has explained this by suggesting his burning leg is no contest for his 'burning heart'. Right then. This 'upgrade' is capable cutting through opponents with a high level of defense. No matter how strong their resistance to physical attacks may be, being burned to the bone is never pleasant. The kanji for this attack, read 'akumafuu ashi', have a clever meaning here. Akumafuu or 'devil style' is a term in Japanese cooking that's similar to the Western term 'Hot n' Spicy'. Meanwhile the character 'ashi' is not the usual character for foot, rather a variation used in denoting a whole 'leg'. Although this may be used for humans, it's also commonly used for ingredients in cooking. For example: crab legs. | |

Purumieeru Asshi | Premier Hache | First-Rate Mincemeat | Jabura | Vol.43 pg124.Possibly the second strongest of Sanji's Mincemeat series of attacks. While using Diable Jambe he attacks an opponent with the same drop-kick as the other Third-Rate and Second-Rate, but his fiery foot makes it a killer move. As of this writing he has not connected with an opponent using this attack so its effect(s) remains to be seen. | |

Diaburu Jambu Furambaaju Shotto | Diable Jambe Flambage Shot | Flaming Devil Leg Shot | Jabura | Vol.43 pg126-127.Sanji whips around his Diable Jambe landing a solid kick to his opponent's jaw igniting them and sending them careening through the air. Flambage is a cooking term for cooked meat set ablaze, usually with an alcohol of some kind, before carving. The kanji used for flambage are unrelated to fire and cannot be read as flambage. The four-character term 'garyoutensei' means a 'finishing touch'. Obviously this is one hell of a finishing touch. | |

Unlisted Conflicts
The requisites for some battles are questionable. It appears that if only one punch (or kick or whatever) is thrown, then it does not count as a battle (except in the very first bout listed). There are also different types of conflicts, (meaning other than throwing punches or kicks), which are not listed. These are my opinion and were not officially listed.
- Sanji VS Fullbody [Chapters 43-44]
- Sanji VS Zeff [Chapter 57 flashback]
- Sanji VS Arlong [Chapter 88]
- Sanji, Luffy & Zoro VS Masira [Chapter 221]
