Sanji's final transformation into a cold-blooded killer

This post contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf Arc.

Key Takeaways

• Using the Raid Suit on Wano, Sanji awakens Germa's power in Onigashima.
• He gained an exoskeleton, enhanced physical attributes, and regenerative abilities.
• Sanji's genetic mutation is incomplete; he still does not represent Germa's character.

It goes without saying that Sanji is one of the most important characters One pieceand certainly someone who will play a major role in the Final Saga. Sanji has already shined in the Egghead Island arc, and he will continue to do so in future arcs. Elbaf has a big role set for Sanji, and the arcs that follow will do the same.

While Oda gave Sanji a special role as one of the two Wings of the Pirate King, fans knew that he had an important role to play in the story. Meanwhile, Sanji's role in it One piece will not be limited to making Luffy the Pirate King. After all, fans know that the character has many layers. Sanji must also find All Blue, and at the same time, face the Germa race, from whom the idea of ​​him turning into a cold-blooded killer came from.

How Sanji awakened the power of the Germans

• Sanji used the Wano spell three times
• Sanji's powers finally awaken in Onigashima

In order for Sanji to become a cold-blooded killer, fans know that he will have to greatly develop Germa's powers. For those who don't remember, Sanji awakened the power of race manipulation in the Wano Country Arc. In the Whole Cake Island arc, Sanji received a Raid Suit from his siblings. He used this Raid Suit in Wano country, and it was very effective. In total, he used the Raid Suit three times, and after the third time, his body felt a little strange. Unbeknownst to him, Sanji had begun to awaken genetic mutations in the Judge's experiments, which had been canceled over the years. This whole process started in Onigashima and ended in a few hours. After the process ends, Sanji realizes that he now has the same powers as his siblings. As soon as Sanji activates his power, his eyebrows curl in the opposite direction. This indicates that the Germa gene is now active.

Who will help Luffy become the Pirate King? – Sanji

When his powers activate, Sanji gains a tough exoskeleton that can shatter the strongest swords and withstand blows from the strongest Hakis. Meanwhile, Sanji also gains additional muscle mass, and a massive boost to all of his physical attributes. Most importantly, Sanji gains a regeneration factor, which means he can heal from any and all wounds in a matter of seconds. This makes Sanji a very strong person. By using these powers he was able to easily defeat the Queen in battle.

Why is Germa's transformation of Sanji not complete yet

Sanji still shows some Germa traits

Although Sanji displayed most of Germa's powers, it should be noted that there is something strange here. As fans know, the Judge's experiment was supposed to remove his feelings for Sanji. After all, the three Sanji brothers lost their emotions especially because they suffered from the same experiment. On the other hand, Sanji doesn't have colored hair either. All of Sanji's brothers have hair colors that match their abilities. For example, Ichiji is called Red Sparking, and his hair is red. He also uses the power of light and explosions according to his color. Niji is Dengeki Blue, and he has blue hair and also uses the power of blue lightning. Likewise, Yonji is a Green Winch and he uses the power of various interesting machines in battle, and most importantly, he has green hair. Even Reiju, who was born before Sanji, has pink hair, which corresponds to her name Poison Pink.

The siblings all have hair colors that match their abilities. Surprisingly, Sanji's name is Stealth Black, but his hair is yellow. This again shows that the transformation of Germa is not yet complete.

Two big things are still going to happen to Sanji, the loss of his emotions and, at the same time, the change in the color of his hair. Of course, Oda may have chosen to simply remove these items from Sanji's Scientific Power, but it certainly carries a great deal of power, which would not have been possible if he had kept that part away from him. Oda is just the story. To make things more interesting, Oda himself said that Sanji's character needs to be seen more in order to grow more in the 105th SBS book. Here is what Oda said:

“D: I have a question; in Chapter 1031 of Volume 102 Sanji's eyebrows are distorted, but in Chapter 1044 of Volume 103 they are back to normal. Why did they change again? PN Rooftop

O: You noted it right ~. His eyebrows have changed a lot. Going back to the whole Island Cake Arc, all of Sanji's brothers and sisters had superhuman qualities and strong skin called “Exoskeleton” from birth due to “Lineage Factor Manipulation”. However, Sanji was only born a normal human due to his mother's objection. Look into the eyes of his brothers and sisters.

Everyone has a “66” like Yonji. Sanji is the complete opposite. This is the battle where the “power of science” appeared after the attack! Sanji originally had an abnormal resistance to “fire”. It's strange. Let's keep looking.”

As Oda himself pointed out, there is still a lot to come regarding Sanji's genetic mutation, and all of these secrets will be explored later.

How will Sanji transform into a cold-blooded killer

The Final Saga will be a great test for Sanji

As fans know, Sanji values ​​his feelings above all else. He knows that he can become stronger if he agrees to be on the cold side and easily destroys even powerful pirates. But, Sanji chooses to keep his feelings because they are a part of him and more importantly, a part of his mother who saved his life. But, Sanji will lose his emotions, and this will make for an exciting plot. His hair may turn black, and he may become a cold warrior, like a Seraphim who only takes orders. This was foreshadowed in the story by Sanji constantly comparing himself to the Seraphim and calling himself Sanjiphim. Once Sanji goes through this transformation, it will be difficult for him to stop the fight, but at that point his identity will remain, which means it will go against everything he stands for, and in Amen 'then, he wouldn't be the person Luffy chose for his team either.

This poses a very interesting problem, where Sanji will have to overcome his cold nature and as the plan already knows, this can be done through sheer willpower. In other words, Sanji must use his Haki to overcome this cold nature of Germa's structure. This would be the perfect time for Sanji to unlock Conqueror's Haki and regain control of his emotions. This will give Sanji access to all of his powers, a new transformation with black hair, and on top of that, powerful abilities that will help him destroy even the strongest people. One pieceas the Admiral of the Marines, and allows him to fight the likes of Yonko and Elders.
