Appearance:
Sanji is a slim, yet muscular, long-legged young man with blond hair and keeps his hair brushed over one side of his face. For the initial part of the series, this was the left side. Due to his left eye never being seen, many fans questioned whether he had one at all.[7] In the manga it was usually covered one way or another, but is seen in the anime (episodes 20, 21, 27, 82, 128, and Movie 6 and 10 although usually very briefly and most likely due to animation errors). Later, after the two year timeskip, he switched his hairstyle so that it covers the right side. It also appears that Sanji's hair is less straight and scruffier after the timeskip.
Among Sanji's physical traits are his distinctive eyebrows. Both form a spiral but at different ends. His right eyebrow forms a spiral at the outer end, while his left eyebrow forms a spiral at the inner end. This means his face is asymmetrical with the position of his eyebrow spirals. This, however, is not fully seen due to his hairstyle. He still gets very upset if somebody, typically Zoro, mocks him over the spirals. Though, on rare occasions, Sanji's other eye was seen in the anime, the spiral was never witnessed.
While Sanji's eyes usually seem black, he was depicted with grey-blue eyes in the anime at the beginning of Thriller Bark Arc.
Sanji almost always wears a black, double-breasted suit with a tie and a long-sleeved, buttoned shirt of varying colors, usually orange, blue, turquoise, or black, with or without pinstripes. His outfit changes on a more frequent basis than most of the crew.
After the two year timeskip, Sanji now covers his right eye, shows his left eye, and has grown his hair just slightly longer. He also sports a dark goatee, and stubble on his upper lip. Both his left and right eyebrow are curled to the right. Sanji's neck has gotten thicker as well, similar to Luffy and Zoro. He wears a black and yellow 3-piece suit. In Punk Hazard, he wears a full black three-piece suit.
While on Punk Hazard, Kin'emon used his unnamed Devil Fruit ability to give Sanji a double-breasted coat for the cold, as he was trapped in Nami's body because of Trafalgar Law.
During the Dressrosa Arc, Sanji first wore a white dress shirt which he wore untucked, with a black tie, black trousers and a black, pinstriped waistcoat. Upon going incognito into Acacia, he wore a black double breasted suit, with a white shirt with the top button undone. In the anime he wears a blue tie as well. He also wore black glasses and a fake white beard and moustache. After being injured by Doflamingo, Sanji wore bandages around his chest and wore a cloak over his shoulders.
Personality:
One of Sanji's most easily noticeable characteristics is the calm, cool, and collected manner in which he carries himself. He tends to speak in a very composed manner, even in dire situations, and rarely acts without thinking. His demeanor in a lot of ways can be compared to that of a secret agent. This is amplified by the fact that he tends to wear a suit, very often enjoys a smoke, and in the anime they tend to play smooth music with jazzy undertones when he speaks. He quite often makes comedic exceptions to this, such as when in the presence of beautiful women, or when angered by a crewmember. Like Zoro, he is more perceptive than he seems, and often tells people what they need to hear instead of what they want.
Hence, he is seen as one of the more hardened members of the crew and can often be as scary as Zoro at times. Unlike Zoro, however, he is not afraid to show his emotions when the moment calls for it, and is entirely capable of crying or losing his temper, which results in Sanji's short fuse and subsequent beatings of most villains (and Luffy). In fact, a running gag has appeared since Sanji's fight with Jabra, during which he stated that when he gets angry, he "heats up". After this fight, when Sanji gets particularly angry at a villain, he appears to burst into flames. This occurs against both Absalom and Duval, though the latter example appears only in the anime. It is also seen when Luffy states he is friends with Boa Hancock, a beautiful woman, when she appears to prevent a marine ship from sinking the Thousand Sunny.
Abilities and Powers:
Sanji has mastered a martial art referred to as the "Black Leg Style" that the pirate Zeff apparently taught him. His legs and feet are extremely powerful, able to smash boulders and effortlessly defeat creatures much larger than himself (like Bananawani and Mohmoo). His legs also imbue him with superior agility, and his speed is close to superhuman as he was easily capable of out-pacing the super fast CP9 member Kalifa despite ultimately being beaten by her (though he stated that he refuses to fight women). He has also stated that the reason he fights with his feet is that he does not want to risk damaging his hands as he needs them to cook, though handstands aren't prohibited. He is also able to use one-handed handstands, and execute consecutive back handsprings (as seen during his fight with Jabra).
After spending two years running away from okama, his sprinting abilities have reached a point where he can momentarily run under water, using a Geppo-like technique he calls "Blue Walk". Not only is he not slowed down by the weight of water as he was during the Arlong Park Arc, but he can run to a degree of incredible speed as fast as a fishman. Usopp has also stated that Sanji's speed is on par with a fishman, who are at their physical prime while under water. He is also able to leap and run much farther than most humans. He has improved this to using his version of "Geppo" in a move he names the "Sky Walk". Whether or not his proficiency with the technique is on par with other CP9's members still remains a mystery.
History:
Sanji then contacted Franky, who told him to go to the flower field. After Franky assured Sanji that Nami will be fine with Brook and Chopper with her, Sanji saw a video broadcast from the Corrida Colosseum, which showed Luffy (as Lucy) participating in the tournament. Violet gave Sanji a map to the factory, under the guise of a toy house. Sanji, in turn, instructed Violet to wait for him at the western port. Right after this exchange, Kin'emon suddenly appeared and surprised Sanji, who proceed to defeat the men pursuing Kin'emon. Having learned that Kanjuro is held at the toy house, Kin'emon asks Sanji to accompany him.
Sanji and Kin'emon then witnessed Luffy's clash with Chinjao on the video broadcast. Kin'emon wants to save Kanjuro as soon as possible, but Sanji tells him to wait as there are Marines surrounding the Corrida Colosseum. Sanji then scolds Kin'emon for cheering Luffy's battle along with the crowd. Kin'emon replies with his belief that once a man enters a competition, he must aim for the top to be acknowledged as a real man.
Sanji and Kin'emon later reunited with Zoro, who was running back to the Thousand Sunny with a dwarf named Wicca. Violet appeared and informed Sanji that the ship had been taken over by Jora and was heading for Green Bit.
Sanji decided to go save the Sunny while Zoro and Kin'emon stayed behind at the Corrida Colosseum. On the way to Green Bit, Violet informed Sanji about the Marines present in the country. Before parting ways with Violet, she assured him that she would be protected by the government. She also told him that their ship was under attack and Sanji immediately headed there using Sky Walk Later on, just when Doflamingo was about to attack the Thousand Sunny, Sanji intercepted him in the nick of time.
Despite Sanji's best efforts to fend off Doflamingo, he was soon immobilized by his strings. When Doflamingo was about to deal a lethal blow to Sanji, Law intervened by using Shambles, and teleported Sanji, Caesar, and himself to the Thousand Sunny. Law asked Sanji about the status of the operation in Dressrosa only to learn that Zoro's group needed more time. Law revealed that he had Caesar's heart inside of him and Law's heart was hidden in the Thousand Sunny.
After giving Caesar his heart back, Law instructed Nami's group to head for Zo. Nami's group was reluctant to leave behind the other Straw Hats, but they complied when they realized that the ship was facing threats from both Doflamingo and Issho. Sanji noticed that Law was so fixated on Doflamingo when the plan's true objective was supposed to be defeating Kaido. After blocking an attack from Doflamingo, Law informed the Straw Hats about Doflamingo's Devil Fruit powers and instructed them to go to a place without clouds. Law then took Jora hostage, giving Nami's group enough time to escape, using Coup de Burst.
After sailing far away from Dressrosa, Sanji contacted Franky and Usopp and told them to take care of Robin. He figured that Law's plan was to have Doflamingo and Kaido fight each other and assured Chopper that Law will be fine if he can escape. Sanji then talked to Momonosuke who began recounting the first time he saw Doflamingo. However, Sanji was thinking about Violet while Momonosuke was telling his story.
Sanji's team later engaged in a conference call with Luffy and Franky's group after Zoro managed to make contact with their captain at the Corrida Colosseum. After everyone was brought up to speed and learned about the true situation on Dressrosa, Sanji decided to sail back to Dressrosa to carry out their assault on Doflamingo, much to the dismay of Nami, Chopper, and Brook.
On the way back, the group on the Sunny heard the skirmish occurring at the Corrida Colosseum through the Den Den Mushi and was shocked to hear that an admiral was also present in Dressrosa. The return trip was cut short by the appearance of the Big Mom Pirates, who were after Caesar. The scientist informed Sanji's group that he made dealings with Big Mom in the past and begged them not to let her crew capture him. Franky told Sanji not to lead the Big Mom Pirates closer to Dressrosa or else Thunder Soldier's rebellion would be ruined. Luffy gave Sanji's group permission to continue on to Zo and allowed Sanji to counterattack against Big Mom's ship
