    Law being a comic book nerd is great, though how did stealth black end up as a fictional character? Sanji got disowned as a kid. When would there have been anyone touting the #3 battle suit, let alone why would the suit even have existed back then? Did Judge make an invisible suit to represent the son that disappeared? Or did the comic writer make up the #3 character to fill the gap in the lineup, and Judge liked the idea and copied it for Sanji? I mean there's so much to assume to reach a point where the family preemptively went through the hassle to make a custom raid suit for the son they were, just days prior, so ready to sacrifice to Big Mom. I suppose we're not supposed to think about that too much, eh?

    The idea is that X-Drake (and maybe Hawkins?) are on their way, and since they are both members of the worst generation, they would likely know who Sanji is. Truthfully, Luffy, Law, and Zoro have all been identified already, so I'm not sure why it would be a shock for them to find Sanji, but I think they're still banking on the enemy thinking it's some random encounter and not part of an elaborate coup.

    I think it's this one. They have a team of sentai villains that goes 0, 1, 2, 4. It makes sense that there would be a 3. And that he would be one of the missing colors(either Black or Yellow).

    It's just serendipity that they went with the color that's already associated with Sanji, and the power that he always wanted.

    I would buy that...if Sanji didn't have a wanted poster. And is in no way disguising his face as the soba cook. Literally ANYONE should be able to see Sanji and know who he is. That's the entire POINT of a wanted poster.

    Now, I could buy that maybe this particular guy doesn't pay attention to wanted posters, but anyone in Kaido's organization might, so not having an ACTUAL disguise is...I just don't get it.

    At least Usopp wears a fake beard.

    And that's ignoring the fact that all of them have their real names IN their fake names! Again, the names that are on their wanted posters!

    Sanji's hair was feudal-japanified, I guess? They all have slight modifications to their appearance. It's basically the equivalent of Superman wearing glasses.

    Well...yeah. But pretty much everyone in the world agrees that that's dumb and wouldn't work at all.

    If that's Oda's goal then...good job I guess?
