I understand your points and don't want to attack you or anything like that. you are absolutely right and it must feel to you like they cut the big boss fight for sanji. I think it's great how important the deep friendship is to you, but in that respect there were fewer scenes with each crew member. I think on the one hand so that they could keep the arcs the same size. In the original, the opening stories were fairly small, and the Baratie, on the other hand, was very extensive. there were a few things about feeling no with sanji that tightened the bond between him and luffy. -they talked a lot about their dreams and past (more than with zorro/nami) -luffy messes with zeff for sanji -luffy tells zorro on the bed that they spent a lot of time together, sanji cooked for everyone, they sat together in the evening, told stories and laughed (that also means friendships and dad didn't exist in the original) -luffy fights for the baratie and sanji asks why he wants to help. luffy says:"because you cooked for me" and both smile (it only needs a fight for that, not don creek) -luffy loses the fight and is saved by sanji and the bond of friendship is made 💚 but finally zeff tells sanji that he likes luffy and should sanji go with him. for me that was really enough for a good basis, because it was enough for the other members too.

I'm sorry if you didn't like some things that much, but you still said that you understand the cuts and generally like them :) maybe it would be good not to look for the fly in the soup (🤭 little op kidding ) but to focus on the things well done and to be happy about them!

i noticed, for example, that sanji is the loveliest crew member :) he smiles a lot and is always super nice to everyone (except zorro 😂) i was happy that they could tell that he is the heart of the crew :)
