The sweet Straw Hat Pirates are definitely one of the craziest characters in A piece, and Sanji seems to be one of the liveliest members of Straw Hats’ pirate crew. From his rivalry with Zoro to his flirty ways with women, it’s safe to say there’s never a dull moment with Sanji around.

With a character with so many funny moments and jokes like Sanji, it was inevitable that fans would make memes about them. From ridiculing Sanji’s character traits to the obvious cooking jokes out there, these ten memes are sure to make any Sanji fan burst out laughing.

GAMERANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

10 Inventing a new language

When Sanji received his first bounty after the Enies Lobby incident, his poorly drawn wanted poster image surpassed any excitement he might have felt at the time. His distaste for the image of his wanted poster was so great that he even began to speak gibberish for a moment, much to Zoro’s confusion.

This demotivating poster pokes fun at Sanji’s gibberish and fosters the idea that it’s the writing seen on the Poneglyphs. In that case, Robin may consider taking Poneglyph lessons from Sanji if she wants to understand them better.

9 History of food I guess?

As a chef, it is clear that Sanji has some wise words when it comes to cooking and eating. One of his main lessons that comes to his mind is not to waste food, a lesson that everyone should consider taking to heart.

With such wise wisdom about food, it could be in Sanji’s best interest to start a religion around it. This excerpt from Bill Wurtz’s History of the whole world I guess illustrates this point perfectly. Combine that with an out-of-context Sanji moment, and fans are sure to get religious in an instant.


8 His inner saboteur

At this point in the series, every A piece fan can name some of Sanji’s most notable opponents. From CP9’s Jabra to Queen of the Beast Pirates, many of Sanji’s adversaries have left him on the brink of death or worse.

But as this meme points out, Sanji has also faced death from his nosebleeds, to the point of requiring a blood transfusion after being around the Fishman Island mermaids. Even for someone as powerful as Sanji, he can still prove to be his own worst enemy.

7 Dermatologists hate him!

This particular meme is a reference to one of Sanji’s more outlandish abilities. Before the two-year timeskip, he demonstrated the ability to rearrange his opponent’s face with his immensely powerful kicks. So far, Sanji has only used this ability twice in the series, and he currently has yet to use it.

However, as can be seen from this meme, the results of this face reshuffling technique are pretty amazing, even if the recipient doesn’t like it themselves. Plastic surgery might be one avenue Sanji should consider if his stint as a chef doesn’t suit him!

6 Magic Lungs

Smoking has many negative side effects on the human body, all of which can be life-threatening if they persist. One of those side effects is skin damage; heavy and prolonged smoking can cause wrinkles to appear more quickly on the face and skin, making one look older than they actually are.

So this meme begs the question of why Sanji still looks like a young man despite being a notable chain smoker. While the cigarette compliments his chef appearance, the lack of negative side effects of smoking can easily be summed up in two simple words: anime logic.

5 become a master chef

The Netflix adaptation meme has been killed off for all sorts of characters, but still remains popular among fans because of how outrageous the end result can be. In this case, what better person to portray Sanji in a Netflix live-action adaptation than the famous Gordon Ramsay himself?

With both chefs known for making good food, this meme begs the question: whose food would taste better? Could Gordon Ramsay meet his equal in Sanji? Or would Sanji be labeled an idiot sandwich? Needless to say, the hypothetical scenarios this meme poses are endless because they are hilarious.

4 Watch out, all women

Sanji has been through a lot in his twenty-one-year life, but one thing that currently remains unchanged is his chivalry towards women. Although he has encountered many female enemies, Sanji has never physically harmed them; the only way he usually acts is to block their attacks.

So it goes without saying that a bad version of Sanji won’t be as forgiving towards female enemies as this meme suggests. Since this is an evil version of Sanji, it would be safe to assume that he would have no qualms about attacking his female crew members as well, something the real Sanji wouldn’t even dream of.

3 Can’t take a break

It’s no secret that the rivalry between Sanji and Zoro is fierce, with both sides not hesitating to throw a punch the first chance they get. Apparently, even in memes, Sanji isn’t safe from Zoro’s devastating low blows.

From Sanji’s nosebleeds to his horrible treatment of his crew members during the Whole Cake Island arc, there’s nothing about Sanji that won’t be offended by the Zoro Gang. While there are currently no Sanji Gang memes, they are certainly unavoidable given the intensity of this rivalry.


2 He’s there, but he’s not…

While Sanji cares deeply about his crew members, the way he shows this is extremely subtle. Through A piece, Sanji has a strange habit of distancing himself from the crew for some reason, usually alone.

This meme takes note of this particular trait and applies it to the Whole Cake Island arc, where it was assumed that Sanji would leave the crew permanently to marry Charlotte Pudding. It may not be the funniest meme out there, but it goes to show that Sanji’s dedication to the Straw Hat Pirates is second to none, even if it’s not obvious.

1 Medicine is for farmers

During the Wano Country arc, Sanji managed to awaken his dormant genetic modifiers during his battle with the All-Star Queen. Not only did this make him more durable, but it also managed to heal many of his injuries at the time, including his broken bones.

With his self-healing ability, Sanji can be considered better than Zoro, something that doesn’t go unnoticed in the classic Virgin vs. chad. But what goes unnoticed by this meme is that Sanji still needed Zoro to kill him if his adaptations rob him of his humanity, if only for a short time.
