(JUMP Character REMIX) ONE PIECE Sanji: Commentary
This post was originally published on YouTube as an audio commentary series on Sanji from September 19 to October 22, 2024. The text below is a slightly edited transcript.
Germa & The Orbit
Hello, and welcome to my commentary of ONE PIECE Sanji. This is the sixth volume of the JUMP Character REMIX series that follows a character's journey throughout the "Sea of Survival: Super Rookies saga." In other words, that's before the time skip.
Just to preface, this is not my first reading of the canon as I am caught up to the latest chapter of the manga, so there will probably be spoilers up to—if not even beyond—the Wano Country saga. I also don't recommend this book as a foray into ONE PIECE due to its fragmented and condensed nature. With that said, let's get right into it.

[Archived] Tales of Legendia - Ferines & Orerines, Thyra; Noblesse - Tao
Who are the humans here?
There’s a thing that Tales of Legendia does regarding the terms “human” and “humanity,” and it’s that only the Orerines throw them around. That’s a big deal in the story: The idea that Ferines are different is so powerful and prevalent that even the main cast dehumanizes them in the main story.

Thyra
Why does Thyra feel alone in a village of people who are known to band together?

What a suck-up.
Let’s talk about Tao and his social sense for a moment, because although it tends to be the butt of jokes, the presentation is brilliant and dates as far back as his days in the DA-5.
