One Piece Fans Completely Missed This Sanji Secret for Years

by

The creator of One Piece is renowned for his skillful foreshadowing that often isn’t fully appreciated until many years later. Throughout the series, Eiichiro Oda has subtly incorporated numerous details and hidden references, from a single panel to entire color spreads, such as hints about Nika years before Wano and even clues about Ace’s demise.

However, one detail that fans might have overlooked concerns Sanji, the chef of the Straw Hat crew and Luffy’s right-hand man. This subtlety is truly brilliant.

Instagram user @porrtgas, a fan of the series “One Piece,” noticed that Sanji, a character known for his romantic pursuits, has always been depicted without a ring on his ring finger in color spreads and illustrations. While creator Oda hasn’t explicitly explained this, it could be interpreted as Sanji leaving room for any beautiful woman who might someday become his wife. This subtle detail aligns perfectly with Sanji’s character, adding a charming touch to an otherwise eccentric personality. Although Sanji’s flirtatious behavior often strays into inappropriate territory, this endearing quirk is hard to ignore.

One Piece’s Creator Hid An Adorable Detail in Sanji’s Rings

Although some fans might find Sanji’s obsession with women and lewd behavior off-putting, especially when it crosses certain lines, such as on Fishman Island, there are moments when this recurring joke becomes quite endearing. A delightful instance of this is the detail about Sanji’s rings, which serves as a subtle example. Similarly, during the Whole Cake Island Arc, Sanji encounters someone who matches his wit in Charlotte Pudding.

It’s possible that Sanji may never fully fill the empty space on his ring finger as his wedding to Pudding didn’t happen, and their relationship also ended. Whether Sanji will marry again in the future, especially after the Straw Hats’ journey concludes, is uncertain. However, among fans, Pudding would likely be the first choice for Sanji’s potential partner due to her clear feelings for him. For now, Sanji remains the beloved bachelor with a placeholder on his left hand for a wedding ring.
