Also, citing other characters like Law, Kidd, and Brook having moments against Big Mom doesn’t discredit Sanji or Queen. By that logic, Sanji blitzing Kizaru’s laser or tagging Nusjuro makes him above Admiral level. You can't cherry-pick that selectively. 4. Technology & Fighting Style: Yes, Queen uses tech—it’s part of his style, just like Franky or Judge. But that doesn’t make him weak. In fact, the fact that Sanji had to adapt to and survive that tech shows how tough Queen is. His lasers, plague bullets, and mechanical modifications were effective enough to pressure Sanji, despite Sanji’s speed and durability. 5. “It’s not a real exo-skeleton” Argument: That’s just semantics. Whether it’s called an exo-skeleton or internal modification, the point is: Sanji became drastically more durable, and even Queen acknowledged the change mid-fight. The name doesn’t matter—the results do, and the results were: Sanji survived heavy hits that would drop most characters. He broke Queen’s sword with his body. He ended the fight by shattering Queen’s neck mechanism. Zoro is stronger than Sanji—but the gap is not massive, and pretending Queen is some weak gag villain is disingenuous. Sanji’s growth in Wano and Egghead has been enormous. If you’re going to make comparisons, at least be fair and consistent with the standards you’re using.

Your argument is full of emotional bias, misinterpretations, and selective downplaying. You say you're "not trying to show the size of the gap," yet you consistently frame your examples to imply Sanji is far below Zoro. If you're going to make comparisons, then context does matter. 1. Sanji’s Moral Code = Simping? Calling Sanji's refusal to hit women "simping" oversimplifies his character. That moral stance has been consistent since Baratie and is part of what differentiates him from Zoro. His behavior with Kalifa in Enies Lobby wasn’t the same as with Black Maria—there, he was still willing to defend himself; with Black Maria, he took hits intentionally so he could rely on his crew. It’s not a downgrade in strength, it’s narrative growth. 2. Queen vs. King Comparison: Yes, King is stronger than Queen, but the series never portrays them as worlds apart. They’re both Yonko Commanders and both fought two of the Monster Trio. If Queen were that much weaker, Sanji wouldn’t have needed to awaken his genetic enhancements mid-fight to win. Queen’s durability was emphasized for a reason. He tanked attacks from Marco and Sanji, and even withstood an attack from King without being knocked out. Saying Zoro damaged Kaido and King, so he must be massively above Queen ignores the fact that Zoro used advanced Conqueror’s Haki, which very few people in the verse have. 3. Queen "Knocking Out" Big Mom: You’re trying to dismiss a notable feat by saying “he just jumped on her.” Well, that’s still a strength + weight-based feat that worked—he took out an Emperor even if temporarily. And Big Mom's durability may not be equal to Kaido’s, but she’s still one of the toughest in the series. If Queen were as weak as you're implying, he wouldn't even faze her.
