#the actual reason is that in the 90s weird evangelicals wouldn’t let anyone ‘profane the name of the lord’

As usual, Sanji gets the quippy line. He does have a good sense of timing for these. As a rule, One Piece’s sense of humor is not quippy, and usually whenever someone tries to look cool the rest of the crew drags them back down to earth. But in this scene it feels really natural to try to deal with an overwhelming situation with a feeble attempt at humor.

I’m sure you will not be surprised to learn that this is a dishonorable mention because Sanji originally asks if Zoro believes in god, but apparently any references to god or religion aren’t allowed because of… reasons.
