#and the way the queation is asked is so disrespectful

[konfuse]

First of all if you say one Starwhat hates the other you failed the One Piece exam and you have to reread the whole manga or rewatch the whole anime and all following arguments that you make, anon, are invalid.

Of course that is not true but it always just feels so weird to read "They hate each other!" like no… they would die for each other. That is not hatred. The crew would not work if anyone hated anyone. They all reapect and love each other and that is part of the core of the story of One Piece

Anyway, I don’t ship ZoSan. Personally I don’t see the appeal, just like Anon but I understand why people find it appealing.

Like the admin of the whoishotterinanimepolls said, they have a rivalery. That i itself is always a huge pull for any ship. You can find it all over OP, YuGiOh, Dragon Ball and probably in every Sports Anime that ever existed. There is an excitement about someone focusing only on that one rival they want to top (😏). And the idea of them finding love with each other despite that rivalry is exciting.

There is tension, there is anger but there can also be a softness…

In my experience the rivalry even continues after they did the deed and I haven’t read many ZoSan fiction. It was a way to try understand the ship (it’s been a while, the tone might has changed).

Which is always a good plan. Read a couple of fanfictions because what are they but meta analysis packed in a story and sprinkled with romance?

Anyway, Zoro and Sanji are rivals but also friends and they need each other and they living in a small space like a ship…

So what if their sexualities aren’t "swords" and "anything female"? What if they actually have the hots for the other (and even if they are virgins… soon they won’t be … or maybe they will because all varieties are possible)? What if the other one makes them understand their sexuality (and we have no canon sexualities for anyone so all headcanons are equally valid)?

Because that is another thing, shipping is always "what if" ungil the author confirms it. And in Oda’s case chances are it will never happen.

That does not mean that shipping is invalid because again, it’s make believe, playing with dolls and having fun with a huge array of possibilities.

And it is always so personal.

In my experience, shipping is always influenced by the persons own ideas, preferences, experiences, hopes and wishes.

We don’t know them but maybe the 13 year old girl sees something in Zoro/Sanji that they don’t understand yet themselves but will help them to figure something out one day.

I guess it also helps that they are both attractive (they look good together) and people enjoy that with ships.

I guess it also helps that they were of the OG 5.

From the very beginning they had also been shipped with others and in all sizes and variations.

I mean in the end they have been standing next to each other at least a few times. That is more than some other OP ships have.

What about Sanji is a Prince and Zoro is a drunkard out of luck?

Also just because and yolo.

My tip: Don’t ask why, anon. Shrug, move on and find something you can vibe with. Don’t assume everyone shares your headcanons but find the ones that do.

(Sorry for any typos. It’s late and I’m using my phone.)

Can someone explain why so many people ship Zoro and Sanji? I mean, it's not even practical. First of all, they hate each other. Second of all, Zoro's sexuality is swords, and Sanji's type is anything female, slightly attractive, and breathing. So again, they are not compatible. Plus, I'm convinced they're both virgins. There is no way either one has banged

Defend Your Blurbo #45

Please remember this post is about curiosity and genuine fandom discourse. Be kind with your answers because this is not a debate essay, this is a discussion between fans

Meets Sanji and Zoro from One Piece. They're probably the most popular ship from One Piece. Now, canonically, they do have a rivalry and argue constantly. However, that might be part of the appeal

I want to add an edit. Because I don't think they actually hate each other but they do hate each other in the same way me and my brother hate each other. I would give him my kidney, but I would shank him if he tried to make me share the last cookie with him.

Now One Piece fandom defend your blurbos

......I went to check on the Wikipage for the upcoming episode (especially after those Marichat leaks).

I HAVE A VERY BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS!

We may have been granted precious seconds of supposed Marichat goodness but after reading this...

There are so many things that can actually go wrong.

Scenarios: - Tom & Sabine try to start breakfast on a happy note, but as it drags on, and they start asking questions, they may realize that this relationship isn't what it seems.

- Chat Noir starts getting nervous, since he can't reveal too much info he knows about Marinette (since, technically, they aren't supposed to know each-other outside of the few akuma saves Chat did). So Chat starts stuttering, trying to think of things to say but not too much and Tom and Sabine get a bad feeling like he doesn't know Marinette much at all.

- When they ask Marinette questions about Chat Noir or their relationship, she doesn't actually know what to say, maybe she even gets caught in trying to lie and save face, but maybe it doesn't sit right with Chat and he tries mending the situation with the truth?

- It says here, "...draws negative thoughts from a concerned baker...". So, Tom will most likely get akumatized next, since he feels like Chat Noir doesn't appreciate or love his princess like she deserves to. Maybe he will target Chat Noir and Marinette will have to save him. Maybe she will try to do it as Ladybug, but fail, and then she will detransform (somewhere safe) and try to reach her father through feelings. Maybe Tom will even resist Hawkmoth, maybe it will give CN an opening to shatter the akuma and LB can purify it later.

- Tom and Sabine find out Marinette lied, that she didn't have a relationship with Chat Noir. They will queation her, maybe reprimand her for playing with someone's feelings, maybe tell her to apologize to the poor boy and clear things between them.

- Marinette would wait on her balcony to catch sight of him, maybe even call him through her yoyo to get him near her address, and when he sees her, she begs him (as Marinette) to stay and talk.

- Cue the "Why did you lie? I thought you said you hated liars." talk from Chat. Marinette will try to defend herself without revealing the real reason why she lied.

- Maybe Marinette will catch on to what CN actually said. The "I thought you said you hated liars" part. How would he know that? She never told him that directly, but she did tell that to Adrien.

- Cue all the times Adrien behaved weirdly or said him and CN occasionally saw each-other on the street...etc.

- "Wait...Chat Noir..could it be you're...you're Adrien?" (MAYBE SHE WON'T BE A DENSE POTATO!)

- NOW CN gets all nervous, tries to evade the question, maybe tries to lie too.

- Maybe Marinette will feel betrayed or thinking CN lied too. Maybe they will part on bad terms, with Marinette in her room thinking of what happened. Adrien laying in bed, trying to understand what had happened.

- If Marinette is upset, who will she turn to? Chat Noir was a no-go, Adrien seemed preoccupied with Kagami and Alya with Nino. So who does she turn to? (This will be a stretch but...)

LUKA

THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS! LUKA COUFFAINE!

What if this will be where Luka gets to shine (in another episode or two) and Marinette spends more time with him? He helps her heal slowly, she gets to know him better, maybe he will notice her crush on Adrien is slowly fading (because she doesn't talk about him as much as she used to) and he starts getting a bit more comfortable with the idea of expressing his feelings more to her?

WHAT IF...

AFTER GETTING SECONDS OF MARICHAT GOODNESS WE WILL GET...

DEVELOPMENT IN THE LUKANETTE SHIP?!

EDIT:

For those that don't know me and never read any of my stories before (as ScarletRedfox), I'm both a Marichat and Lukanette shipper, I support both, I like the Love Square in general with all it's different dynamics and ticks. And I'm always open for new ships and/or possibilities. The things/theories/headcanons I post are purely based on my own opinion and (for the most part) what could happen, which may or may not be a really big stretch. So for the users that say "stop hoping" or "this or that ship is trash" please stop. It's disrespectful, it's unwanted and uncalled for, such comments are what make an otherwise great fandom a really toxic one, so stop spreading toxic hate and just...don't read content you don't like/enjoy? You can share your opinion, but don't do it in a way that disrespects or hurts another individual or group. Thank you kindly. :)
