Sanji is the fourth child of the Vinsmoke family, an infamous family of rulers-killers who once conquered the North Blue. Sanji had a highly abusive upbringing, and later cut himself off from his family, sick of the awful ostracism he received for being the only child among brothers and a sister born without genetic enhancements and a spiteful reminder of how his late mother bore a suicidal devotion to have her boys retain their humanity. His father, Judge, had Sanji retrieved in order to marry him off to one of Big Mom's daughters in order to form a political alliance. This reunion is deeply animous and forced upon him and only alleviated by his kind sister's presence. Sanji later must put his friendship on the line with his crewmates to deal with the threat of disobeying his family, who commands the clone soldier army for hire called Germa 66, and an Emperor of the sea, who could easily overwhelm the Straw Hat Pirates with her massive forces.

He has a bounty of 330,000,000 million berries [[note]] His first bounty was 77,000,000 Berries, awarded for his defeat of Jabra and involvement at Enies Lobby. He was, however, frequently unrecognized since his old wanted poster was a poorly-drawn composite sketch. His second bounty was 177,000,000 berries, received for simply being a member of the Straw Hats after Dressrosa. He also finally gained an actual picture for his poster (albeit a goofy take of him with his typical "heart" eyes). Due to his father's meddling, he was also briefly wanted only alive at this time, unlike the other Straw Hats and every other known criminal (who are all "dead or alive"). He received his current bounty of 330,000,000 berries for his connection to the Vinsmokes and involvement in the raid against Big Mom; and, with his family matters resolved, he is once again wanted dead or alive. However, to his extreme frustration, he is now officially recognized by the government as "Vinsmoke" Sanji.[[/note]]

** His nosebleeds can actually ''run Chopper out of his spare blood stock for Sanji's type.'' Chopper, by the way, also takes care of ''ZORO'' after fights.

* IncendiaryExponent: Weaponized, via his ''Diable Jambe'' technique.
** A Post-TimeSkip cover seems to imply that he went to PlayingWithFire as well. Which, of course, is later confirmed for all intents and purposes.

* TheRunaway: [[spoiler:Of the "Abused Runaway" type. Despite being automatically a prince and royalty by birthright due to being a Vinsmoke, Sanji ran away to the East Blue as a child due to his family's (save for his sister Reiju and deceased mother Sora) utterly '''''horrendous''''' treatment of him]].

* TakenForGranite: PlayedForLaughs. After his two years in "Hell", he is so susceptible to women's looks that just LOOKING at Hancock does this to him. Shirahoshi as well.

* ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler:He abandoned the Vinsmoke family name after leaving his siblings and Judge behind. He makes it clear that Vinsmoke Sanji, the weak little boy they so often abused, "died at sea"]].

* WideEyedIdealist: [[DownplayedTrope Solely when it comes to women and nothing else]]; Sanji's views on the ladies are quite rose-tinted and naive, and he's prone to trusting any woman who acts nice to his face or returns his advances. He even proclaims that he would never doubt a woman's tears and is willing to forgive the lies and actions of any woman who wrongs him. TropesAreTools, however, so this is usually [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] by being shown in a neutral light and presenting both the positive and negative outcomes of this trait of his. However, it's shown in a decidedly negative light in the Tottoland arc, where his patience is pushed to its limit as [[spoiler: his trusting nature leads to his heart being broken in an exceedingly cruel manner by a very sadistic, manipulative woman- the likes of which he had never had to deal with before on such a personal level]]. However, in a true testament to his willpower, he sticks to his morals even after this; [[spoiler: [[FreakinessShame instead of showing any anger towards her, he compliments]] [[BrokenBird Pudding's]] ThirdEye and still calls her beautiful, which causes her to ''genuinely'' fall in love with him- reconstructing the trope and proving that Sanji's chivalry ''can'' work against all odds.]]

->''"There... Comes a time when a man has to stand and FIGHT!! This is the time when his friend's dreams are laughed at. Luffy won't die... I KNOW he'll be the pirate king one day. I WON'T LET YOU LAUGH AT THAT!!"''

->''"The Marines may not be concerned with me right now, but soon I, Black Leg Sanji, will be the most infamous of all!"''

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/going_merry_anime_4.png]]

* AllAccordingToPlan: He's the tactical mastermind of the crew and all of his plans work out the way he wants them to. But the most notable incident still is his Mr. Prince shtick in the Alabasta arc, complete with him saying those exact words while smiling deviously.

Sanji is the fourth child of the Vinsmoke family, an infamous family of rulers-killers who once conquered the North Blue. Sanji had a highly abusive upbringing, and later cut himself off from his family, sick of the awful ostracism he received for being the only child among brothers and a sister born without genetic enhancements and a spiteful reminder of how his late mother bore a suicidal devotion to have her boys retain their humanity. His father, Judge, had Sanji retrieved in order to marry him off to one of Big Mom's daughters in order to form a political alliance. This reunion is deeply animous and forced upon him and only alleiviated by his kind sister's presence. Sanji later must put his friendship on the line with his crewmates to deal with the threat of disobeying his family, who commands the clone soldier army for hire called Germa 66, and an Emperor of the sea, who could easily overwhelm the Straw Hat Pirates with her massive forces.

* AlmightyJanitor: At least at first. During the Alabasta Arc, he went around kicking ass without even being recognized as a Straw Hat. He wasn't as well known as even Usopp at that point, but he's still in the top three fighters of the crew. It still kinda applies, as despite being Zoro and Luffy's equal in fighting ability, Sanji still doesn't have the third highest bounty of the crew; that would be Usopp (originally, it was Robin). And his skill as a spy and saboteur would no doubt also merit him a higher bounty, if not the fact that he's so good at such things that the World Government ''hasn't found out about those skills yet''.
** Not to mention that the photo for his bounty poster wasn't even him, but a badly drawn picture that barely resembles him, meaning he was the hardest member to identify. That has changed after the time-skip, as someone finally got a solid picture of him (even if he is depicted going love-nuts in it).
** Averted as of after the Dressrosa arc, the World Government has caught up with his presence and real identity and has given him a 177 million Berries bounty, which increases further to 330 million Berries after the raid on Totto Land, currently making him the crew member with the third highest bounty after Luffy and Jimbei, but before Zoro.

** In the Wano arc, after joining Franky in beating up a few members of the Kyoshiro family for trying to intimidate them into paying a protection fee, [[spoiler:Sanji gets Page One and X Drake sent after him so [[MakeAnExampleOfThem he'll be used as an example for defying the yakuza]]. Not only does Sanji stops Page One with a powerful kick upon arrival, he also prepares to use his Raid Suit that he previously wanted nothing to do with]].

* BigDamnHeroes: "Mr. Prince", followed later by "The Hunter".
** Saving Nami, Chopper and Brook from '''Doflamingo'''.
** Saving Nami, Chopper and Brook ''again'', this time from being trapped in Capone's body.

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:Sanji clearly has no love for his three quadruplet brothers. It's heavily implied that he fought (and defeated) the youngest, Yonji, as soon as they met up again, with Yonji sporting a disfigured face afterwards. It's later revealed that as a child, Sanji was frequently and viciously bullied by his brothers for being weak and showing compassion towards starving commoners. His older sister, Reiju, who laughed at this in public but showed compassion for him in private, is the only living family member he shows affection for]].

* CallingTheOldManOut: He calls out Judge twice the Totto Land arc.

* CasanovaWannabe: The chances of him actually sleeping with anyone he's wooed are practically nonexistent. [[spoiler: Then when the chance comes up after he is paired up with Charlotte Pudding, one of Big Mom's daughters, he turns it down, to the shock of his crewmates]].

*** For a while after the time skip (in which he spent two years stuck on an island with transvestites): "IIIII NEEEEED LADYYYYY!"

** [[spoiler:He was supposed to be completely emotionless like his brothers, but thanks to his mother sacrificing himself for him, he was born a CheerfulChild. Unfortunately, his father and brothers saw it fit to constantly bully and abuse him for being weaker than them, which culminated in Sanji being thrown into the dungeons to rot. Reiju secretly rescued him, and helped him escape by directing him to a cruise ship heading for the East Blue]].

** By the start of the story, Sanji went from the LethalChef he was as a child, to a bad-tempered SupremeChef. Although Zeff was a well-meaning father, he was borderline-abusive in making sure Sanji grew up to become a fine man. While Sanji goes gaga at every pretty woman he sees ([[DirtyKid something he had as a child]]), he's more civil about it. Furthermore, thanks to Baratie's teachings, he ''loathes'' anyone who wastes food, and will kick anyone who does.

** In the Reverie arc, [[spoiler:Sanji discovers that Niji secretly gave him his own Raid Suit, which he assumes to be CondescendingCompassion on his brother's part. He understandably refuses to use his Raid Suit and denounces the use of science to make people stronger, [[{{Hypocrite}} despite knowing that Nami uses the Clima-Tact to fight her enemies]]]]. However, in the Wano arc, [[spoiler:he gets over it and prepares to use it against the rampaging Page One, knowing that [[CoverBlowingSuperpower he'll end up revealing himself as a Vinsmoke]]]].
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: It's strange to think that he once (in the manga at least) almost shot Nico Robin, albeit an instinctive reaction to Vivi being threatened. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What ever happened to that pistol, anyway?]]
** He knows he can't hit her, so he grabbed a pistol hoping it would intimidate her. It doesn't work.
** As for the pistol, either it was just owned by the whole crew or Nami took it or had it given to her, because at one point (at least in the anime), Nami is seen holding it while preparing to fend off a possible attack.
** A different thing is [[HandsomeLech how he used to be able to attract women]]. Very, very weird when you look at his more [[CasanovaWannabe recent]] [[ButtMonkey portrayals]].
*** Actually, it may just be the main cast. Both the [[CreepyCrossdresser New Kamas]] and the Mermaids seem to like him a lot.
*** And now, he has actually seemingly succeeded in pulling in a dancer on Dressrosa named Violet; she's actually ''returning'' his advances!
*** It's probably just the main cast (i.e. Nami). The mermaids, minkwomen, and Viola either don't seem to mind him or even find his antics funny/cute. He did creep out the first girls he saw on Sabody Archipelago after those two years though (including Perona).

** His [[spoiler:"No. 3" Raid Suit, which Niji gave to him as a token of goodwill in the beginning of the Reverie arc after the Straw Hats manage to escape Totto Land. At first, Sanji wanted nothing to do with Germa's technology or science, despite Nami and Usopp's protests, but he proceeds to pull it out and use it to fight Page One]].

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Pre-timeskip, he was just a SupremeChef who happens to be ''really'' good at kicking. But during the timeskip, he discovered Haki and {{Flight}}. [[spoiler:And as of Chapter 930, he's about to use the Raid Suit his brother sneaked in his person.]]

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Quite a few guys are attracted to him. Duval and the two Fishmen who gave him blood transfusions are a few examples.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Knowing what is was like to nearly starve to death [[spoiler:twice]], Sanji will give anyone who is hungry food, be it friend or foe.

* FirstNameBasis: Makes absolutely ''zero'' mention of his surname willingly. It isn't until the Zou Arc that it gets spoken aloud for the first time- and not by him. [[spoiler:That's because he has sworn himself to never speak the name "Vinsmoke" again by his own father's instructions and he bears an undying hatred of the family itself.]]
* {{Flanderization}}: In Sanji's very first appearance, he was able to have actual ''conversations'' with women he was attracted to and attempted to woo. Now? [[LovableSexManiac Not]] [[CasanovaWannabe so much.]]
** He also went from generally suave and occasionally going gaga over women to going gaga by default and violent nosebleeds at worst after the TimeSkip, though this was a result of spending two years on an island full of transvestites.
** He's displayed some signs of ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat in more recent arcs however; though he still freaks out when talking to women far more than he originally ever did, he actually manages to talk like a human being long enough to leave a good impression on the mermaids, Viola, Carrot, and Pudding.

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:He proclaims that Pudding is his only "ray of hope" left after he's dragged into the mess that is the ArrangedMarriage between him and her and the implications thereof. But then he overhears her conversation with Reiju, where it's revealed that Pudding has concealed her true nature the whole time - one of a cunning, sadistic ([[BrokenBird and completely broken]] BitchInSheepsClothing who plans to have him killed during the wedding.]]
** However, things get better later on: [[spoiler:Pudding ''actually'' falls in love with him, and furthermore, becomes and invaluable asset in helping the Straw Hats escape from Whole Cake island.]]

* InformedAttribute: His [[spoiler: father, Judge]], mentions during their fight that he taught Sanji how to sword fight as a child, wondering why he's only fighting with kicks. This is of course justified, as Sanji then tells him that he'll only use his hands for cooking, which he has mentioned before.

* {{Invisibility}}: He wants the Devil Fruit with this power and isn't happy that the fruit's been claimed. [[spoiler:The reveal that his Raid Suit comes with stealth capability for his supposed epithet of "Stealth Black", he might have actually been designed with inherent power of invisibility if his mother didn't manage to undo the modifications.]]

* {{Irony}}: Sanji saw his dream of being an invisible man crushed after seeing Absalom had already eaten the Clear-Clear Fruit and yet [[spoiler: his Raid Suit gives him the power of invisibility. Sanji lampshades the irony that Germa 66, the organization he hates from the bottom of his heart, fulfilled his crushed dreams of having the power to turn invisible.]]

* LoveCanMakeYouGonk: He can make some pretty strange facial expressions when he's gushing over pretty women.
** The ''Yellow'' databook reveals that Attach, the photographer hired by the Marines to take photos of the Straw Hats for their wanted posters, was always trying to catch Sanji striking a cool pose, but every time Sanji would instead swoon over women and look ridiculous. When the guy finally got the perfect picture, [[CameraObscurer he forgot to take the lens off]]. Eventually he got tired of it and settled with a picture of Sanji looking goofy.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Sanji didn't know it, but [[spoiler:having Duval as his {{Doppelganger}} gave him protection from his abusive family, especially his father Judge who had been tirelessly searching for him with less than benevolent intentions in mind after Sanji ran away]]. Fixing Duval's face resulted in the Straw Hats gaining an ally, but that also meant [[spoiler:Sanji's family were able to easily find him now when new bounties were posted. [[FridgeHorror Imagine if Sanji was found by Judge before the Sabaody Arc happened]]]]...

* NotHyperbole: In the "Thriller Bark" arc, Sanji claimed that one day, he'd be the most infamous member of the Straw Hat crew. For a while, it seemed like just a delusion made up by his [[SmallNameBigEgo ego]], [[spoiler:but then, in the Zou arc, we find out he wasn't kidding as he's actually a member of the infamous Vinsmoke family]].

* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Both he and Pudding would be thrilled to be married to each other if it wasn't for the fact that Sanji would have to give up being on Luffy's crew, and possibly the dream of finding "All Blue."
** [[spoiler: This turns out to be subverted though when it's revealed that her entire character was a lie. After quite the DarkAndTroubledPast, Pudding became an accomplice in Big Mom's plans against the vinsmkes, willing to murder him in the wedding and follow it with his family AND friends' murders.]].
** [[spoiler: Ironically, she does fall in love with him after their "engagement" falls apart]].
* PersonalityPowers: He fights by kicking people, which is less barbaric than punching people, which also results in him becoming a DanceBattler, which also fits his (mostly) refined and cultured personality. Giving him [[PlayingWithFire fire powers]] was also appropriate since he is HotBlooded (when he isn't being TheChessmaster and a SpannerInTheWorks) ''and'' a SupremeChef who wants to cook even better once he finds the All Blue. His "Sky Walk" ability, {{Flight}} represents him running away from the okamas in Momoiro Island for most of the 2 years he's there.
* PlayingWithFire: His "Diable Jambe" technique involves lighting his effing leg on FIRE, [[FrictionBurn via friction]], and attacking with it. Interestingly, while Oda joked that his Hot Blood is what allows him to do it, it seems to be turning into a true ability, with him bursting into flames during his anger and characters commenting on it on enough occasions to make one wonder if it was just a joke or not.
** Confirmed to be canon in chapter 646. Sanji, [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum in some kind of way]], can actually ignite his entire body on fire by "thinking of those 2 years in hell" and then transfer that fire onto his opponent with a kick.
** This actually makes sense (or at least as much sense as you would expect in the world of One Piece). After all, Zoro's Asura technique is made possible through the use of his fighting spirit. Who's to say Sanji can't make flames via the same principle? This power of fighting spirit is very similar to the already established power of Haki, aka Willpower.

* PowerPerversionPotential: [[spoiler:With his dream of being able to become invisible restored thanks to his new Raid Suit, Sanji is now capable of going PeepingTom]].

* PunnyName: His name is a pun on the way the Japanese say "3 o'clock". However, the word Sanji can also refer to something that is a terrible, horrible accident that makes one want to avert their eyes and break out the BrainBleach. Veeeerry appropriate. [[spoiler:Chapter 812 reveals that he's the third son of the Vinsmoke family, adding to the puns, as Sanji can mean "third son."]]
** [[spoiler: Though it's not exactly a pun, it is a funny coincidence that a boy from the "Vin-SMOKE" family grew up to be a chain smoker]].

* RaisedByDudes: He was raised primarily by men who taught him to cook and fight. Which makes his foul mouth obsession with women a bit more... understandable. [[spoiler:The obsession with women is later revealed to be a {{Shared Family Quirk|s}} with the Vinsmoke family, though the foul mouth still seems to be from the chefs at Baratie]].

* RedBaron: His epithet, "Black Leg", comes from the kick-heavy fighting style Zeff taught him as well as the fact that he wears a black suit while kicking his foes to a pulp. [[spoiler:His epithet, besides his compassion, is another thing that sets him up as the WhiteSheep of his family - the Vinsmokes' Germa titles are written in katakana, and all designate their choice of weapon followed by their personal color (Poison Pink, Sparking Red, Electric Blue, and Winch Green); Sanji's pirate name "Black Leg" is the reverse of the Germa naming scheme, written in kanji like the rest of the Straw Hat monikers, and also a nod to his adoptive father and mentor - "Red Leg" Zeff.]] [[spoiler:We later find out his supposed epithet in the Germa organization: "Stealth Black"]]

* SpannerInTheWorks:
** ''Very'' frequently. His unknown at the time identity allowed him to rescue the crew from Crocodile's death trap in Alabasta, he trashed Eneru's airship long enough for Luffy to get back into the fight (and stop him from putting all his focus into destroying Skypiea), and his closing the Gates of Justice not only allowed them to escape Enies Lobby without being pursued, but significantly slowed down the pursuing marines during the chase itself.
** [[spoiler:In the Whole Cake Island arc, although he loathes almost all of his Vinsmoke relatives with a passion (the feeling is mutual), Sanji's compassion drives him to save his family from Big Mom. This ends up throwing a big wrench in Big Mom's KillEmAll wedding plans - [[BitchInSheepsClothing Pudding]], who was supposed to kill her groom-to-be once they reached the altar, has a VillainousBreakdown because Sanji [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe complimented her third eye]] ([[AllOfTheOtherReindeer something no one had ever done before]]), leaving her [[BrokenTears crying]] and unable to kill him as planned. Katakuri's attempts to kill Sanji with a jellybean ends up narrowly missing its target and killing the priest when Sanji bends down to try comfort Pudding, with the commotion at the altar alerting the Vinsmoke family's suspicions of Big Mom. MassOhCrap ensues.]]
** In fact, this is arguably Sanji's specialty in the crew, next to cooking. Sanji is a master saboteur and spy, and thus the only member of the crew that specializes in black ops skills besides Robin and, to a lesser extent, Nami. He's so good at it that for a long time, this skill set was unknown to everyone but the crew and a select few others, allowing him to essentially screw over many a villain's plan because they didn't know how dangerous he really was.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:All of his Vinsmoke siblings resemble him to some degree, bearing his trademark swirling eyebrows and PeekABangs. Reiju and Yonji in particular resemble Sanji the most, with Reiju looking like the end result if Sanji was turned into a woman, while Yonji is Sanji's splitting image (save for the hair) and has his perverted tendencies. In the case of Sanji and his brothers, it's later justified with the reveal that they're fraternal ''quadruplets'', born on the same day, which is why they resemble each other so closely]].
* StupidGood: A variation - he's not completely stupid (in fact, [[TheChessmaster he's far from it]]) but thanks to nearly starving to death as a kid, Sanji has no problem feeding a starving man. Even if that starving man and his crew of equally-starving pirates are obviously planning to attack him afterwards.

* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Notable considering half the Straw Hat crew have Devil Fruit powers and can't swim at all. Way back in the Arlong Arc, he held his own against a Fishman ''underwater'', and he was down there for several minutes.

* SupremeChef: Makes some of the best damn food you'll find on the Grand Line. And he joined the crew to fulfill his dream of finding some mysterious and awesome ingredients that can only be found in the All Blue, so he can cook even ''better''. A lot of the FoodPorn in the show can be contributed to him, ''especially'' in the G8 filler arc.
** Taken UpToEleven during the Totto Land arc, where [[spoiler:he perfectly replicated Streusen's wedding cake, including all the secret ingredients, through smell alone. And it's so delicious that a taste of it nearly kills the chefs who taste-test it (and makes others believe he secretly poisoned it before discovering the truth).]]
* SweetAndSourGrapes: He wasn't happy that he could never get the {{Invisibility}} devil fruit as the fruit's been claimed. [[spoiler:Come chapter 931, and it's revealed his Raid Suit comes with stealth capability for "Stealth Black".]]

** You can probably consider it a near miracle that [[spoiler: his wife to be, Pudding, is ''actually attractive''. In this case though, it becomes YankTheDogsChain when it turns out she's a massively broken BitchInSheepsClothing who faked being in love with him]].
*** [[spoiler: This eventually goes back the other way and Sanji is once again thrown a bone; showing Pudding genuine kindness and love despite everything she did causes her to fall madly in love with him- perhaps the first time his feelings for any woman have ever been fully reciprocated. She even ''kisses'' him in the end to seal it, much to his delight (though she does erase his memory of it immediately afterward).]]
** [[spoiler:After learning that the Clear-Clear Fruit, the one Devil Fruit he really considered eating, had been eaten by Abasolom, his dream of being becoming invisible apparently died. In Chapter 931, he discovers the Raid Suit he received from his brother actually had invisibility capabilities, reviving his childhood dream]].

** During his two years of training in IronicHell over the TimeSkip Sanji has become so fast that he can now [[LightningBruiser move at an absurdly fast speed UNDERWATER while maintaining his superior kicking power]]. He got the skill from running away from transvestites on that scary island for two full years. He also gained the skill to run on air. So, yeah, he can fly.
* TraumaCongaLine: To sum up, he was defeated by Kuma, sent on a island full of Drag Queens, is accidentally mistaken for a crossdresser by the inhabitants, chased along the whole island, forced to fight the "Queen" in dress and make up, humiliated and tricked into becoming a crossdresser himself. Thankfully, he got better.
** [[spoiler: The Whole Cake Island Arc has been one long trauma line for him, starting with getting forced into an arranged marriage, beat up by his brothers, put under the threat of having his friends and parental figure Zeff murdered if he doesn't comply, and ends up slapped and disowned by his beloved Nami. Even worse is that his fiancee - who ''appeared'' to actually like him and provided a HopeSpot - is really a shattered BitchInSheepsClothing who plans on murdering him, and that her family intend to kill both his biological and adoptive family and friends anyways]].

* UnderestimatingBadassery: He himself usually does not underestimates others but is quite regularly on the receiving end of this attitude due to him being an AlmightyJanitor:

** [[spoiler: The Vinsmoke-family was surprised and irritated by the prowess Sanji learned in the time away from them.]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: He's not shy about insulting or arguing with the male Straw Hats, especially Zoro, but he's also willing to go quite far in defending them despite claiming to only care for the women.
** And before he even joined, there was his relationship with Zeff. The two slung so many insults at each other and got in so many fights that the other cooks at Baratie were surprised to find out how much the they actually cared about each other.

* WalkingSpoiler: His past [[spoiler:[[BlueBlood when it]] [[DarkAndTroubledPast comes to his]] [[WhiteSheep biological family]]]] makes him this.

** [[spoiler:Sanji's WhiteSheep status is also reflected in his alias compared to those of his siblings. The Vinsmokes' Germa titles are written in katakana, and all designate their choice of weapon followed by their personal color (Poison Pink, Sparking Red, Electric Blue, and Winch Green); Sanji's pirate name "Black Leg" is the reverse of the Germa naming scheme, written in kanji like the rest of the Straw Hat monikers, and also a nod to his adoptive father and mentor - "Red Leg" Zeff.]]

* TheWorfEffect: Really the only reason he and Vergo fought was to build up the latter's threat level.

** The only worse offender of this than Zoro is Sanji. It happens to him once an arc, including freaking FILLER arcs. Notable examples include Eneru (couldn't even hit him once despite wearing shoes with rubber soles), Smoker (in the manga), Arlong, Blueno (after revealing Robin's intentions, Sanji had no use for holding back and still got beat), and Absalom (possibly a deconstruction, since it was really just a penguin fighting as Sanji, though the other zombies note he's quite powerful).
** In the Dressrosa arc he suffers this from BigBad Donquixote Doflamingo. While DD acknowledged his as being strong, Sanji seemingly did no damage with all his attacks and was immediately bested by his Parasite technique.

* WorfHadTheFlu: He might have won against Gin, but the wounds he sustained while Pearl beat him up while he was unable to retaliate due to Zeff being held hostage immobilized him at a crucial moment.

* WouldntHitAGirl: He always absolutely ''refuses'' to hit a lady no matter the circumstances- even if the lady in question is evil and/or trying to kill him. His strong feelings on this stem from his mentor Zeff; Sanji originally had no problem with hitting women as a child, but when he told this to Zeff, he got a kick to the head and Zeff's stern disapproval in response. So, in addition to his love for women, Sanji also sticks to this so strictly because he doesn't want to disappoint Zeff and become a man that he wouldn't be proud of. This trait even carries onto video game adaptations, with the ''[[VideoGame/OnePiecePirateWarriors Pirate Warriors]]'' games in particular programming his attacks always avoid hitting and/or affecting female enemies[[note]]Crew Strikes let him call in someone else to defeat them for him, but it's still such a problem the game flat-out warns you if he tries to start a mission containing female enemies[[/note]]; however, he ''can'' be made to hit a female enemy in some games, but he will [[ApologeticAttacker apologize with each attack]].
* YouOweMe: [[spoiler: While he does save the Vinsmokes from certain death at the hands of the Charlotte family alongside his [[WomenAreWiser sister]] [[TokenGoodTeammate Reiju]], he immediately lets them know that they're indebted to him and ''damn sure better pay him back'', silently demanding that they save his friends after they get caught. Judge glares at him in annoyance, but Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji quickly comply without complaint and ''actually listen to Sanji'' for once]].

* SpannerInTheWorks: ''Very'' frequently. His unknown at the time identity allowed him to rescue the crew from Crocodile's death trap in Alabasta, he trashed Eneru's airship long enough for Luffy to get back into the fight (and stop him from putting all his focus into destroying Skypiea), and his closing the Gates of Justice not only allowed them to escape Enies Lobby without being pursued, but significantly slowed down the pursuing marines during the chase itself.

* RedBaron: His epithet, "Black Leg", comes from the kick-heavy fighting style Zeff taught him as well as the fact that he wears a black suit while kicking his foes to a pulp. [[spoiler:His epithet, besides his compassion, is another thing that sets him up as the WhiteSheep of his family - the Vinsmokes' Germa titles are written in katakana, and all designate their choice of weapon followed by their personal color (Poison Pink, Sparking Red, Electric Blue, and Winch Green); Sanji's pirate name "Black Leg" is the reverse of the Germa naming scheme, written in kanji like the rest of the Straw Hat monikers, and also a nod to his adoptive father and mentor - "Red Leg" Zeff.]]

** [[spoiler: In Totto Land, Sanji escapes the near constant surveillance of the Big Mom Pirates to secretly formulate an assassination plot on their own territory.]]

* ThrowTheDogABone: After two painful years on an island of transvestites, Sanji finally meets mermaids, and they ''like'' him. He's even able to resist nosebleeds for a while to play with them.

* {{Invisibility}}: He wants the Devil Fruit with this power and isn't happy that the fruit's been claimed. [[spoiler:The reveal that his Raid Suit comes with stealth capability for his supposed epithet of "Stealth Black", he might have actually been designed with inherent power of invisibiliy if his mother didn't manage to undo the modifications.]]

* {{Invisibility}}: He wants the Devil Fruit with this power and isn't happy that the fruit's been claimed. [[Spoiler:The reveal that his Raid Suit comes with stealth capability for his supposed epithet of "Stealth Black", he might have actually been designed with inherent power of invisibiliy if his mother didn't manage to undo the modifications.]]

* FriendToAllChildren: While all the crew are friendly to kids, Usopp is the most openly helpful, giving advice and offering aid publicly, while the other main defender of children, Zoro, [[JerkassFacade cloaks his in a stern, emotionless facade]].

* BrokenTears: [[spoiler:Once, after he beats Luffy up and puts on a JerkassFacade to make the Straw Hats leave Whole Cake Island, which makes Nami ''[[ArmorPiercingSlap slap]]'' him. And once more, when he sees [[BitchInSheepsClothing Pudding]] laughing at how easily she tricked him, how stupid she finds him and how she is looking forward to see his reaction right before she kills him.]]

** [[spoiler:Later justified in Chapter 852; before Sanji and his brothers were born, Judge tried to weaponize them by experimenting on them in utero and completely removing their ability to feel compassion and empathy. Their mother, Sora, intervened by taking a drug that reversed gene-altering surgeries, but died saving only Sanji. His brothers can't understand why he still has his humanity and continues to act kind towards others, because they were programmed that way.]]

** In the Reverie arc, [[spoiler:Sanji discovers that Niji secretly gave him his own Raid Suit, which he assumes to be CondescendingCompassion on his brother's part. He angrily refuses to use his Raid Suit and denounces the use of science to make people stronger, [[{{Hypocrite}} despite knowing that Nami uses the Clima-Tact to fight her enemies]]]]. However, in the Wano arc, [[spoiler:he gets over it and prepares to use it against the rampaging Page One, knowing that [[CoverBlowingSuperpower he'll end up revealing himself as a Vinsmoke]]]].

** [[spoiler:Gets hit with it even harder when Pudding turns out to be a BitchInSheepsClothing, as he loses the one ray of hope he had left in this situation. Though when he calls her much-hated ThirdEye "beautiful", he sends her into a tearful VillainousBreakdown and leaves her unable to kill him.]]

* JerkassFacade: [[spoiler:Since he's being blackmailed by his family and Big Mom, he puts one on in order to get Luffy and Nami to forget about him and move on when they come to rescue him. He takes it ''really'' far too, cruelly insulting his friends nonstop and then brutally beating Luffy until he knocks him out. It actually works on Nami, who angrily disowns him, but Luffy sees right through it and makes him cry when he ''still'' refuses to turn his back on him]].

* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: [[spoiler:Platonic example; in Chapter 843, he turns down Luffy's attempts to bring him back from Totto Land because his abusive family blackmailed him into marrying Pudding, and if he defied his purpose, his loved ones (especially [[ParentalSubstitute Zeff]]) will be killed. Luffy understandably doesn't take it very well at all, to the point that he gives him a [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan face-wrecking punch]] to get him to come back to the crew]].

** In Chapter 832, [[spoiler:he ''immediately'' tells Judge that he's not her father upon seeing him for the first time in at least 13 years since the latter abused him as a child]].
** He later does it again in Chapter 870, [[spoiler:while the Straw Hat-Firetank Pirate Alliance are hiding away from the Charlotte Family in Bege's body; he angrily pulls down Judge so they could look at each other, ''eye to eye'', and reminds him that having his "weak" son die was ''exactly'' what Judge wanted, since "Vinsmoke Sanji" [[ThatManIsDead died at sea]]. In front of the Straw Hats, Jimbei, his siblings, and the Firetank Pirates, Sanji makes Judge swear that he'll never approach him or the East Blue again, which Judge surprisingly does]].

* CallingTheOldManOut: In the Totto Land arc.
** In Chapter 832, [[spoiler:he calls Judge out ''immediately'' upon seeing him for the first time in at least 13 years since the latter abused him as a child]].
** He later does it again in Chapter 870, [[spoiler:while the Straw Hat-Firetank Pirate Alliance are hiding away from the Charlotte Family in Bege's body; he angrily pulls down Judge so they could look at each other, ''eye to eye'', and reminds him that having his "weak" son die was ''exactly'' what Judge wanted, since "Vinsmoke Sanji" [[ThatManIsDead died at sea]]. In front of the Straw Hats, Jimbe, his siblings, and the Firetank Pirates, Sanji makes Judge swear that he'll never show his face around him or East Blue again, which Judge surprisingly does]].

** [[spoiler:He was supposed to be completely emotionless like his brothers, but thanks to his mother sacrificing himself for him, he was born a CheerfulChild. Unfortunately, his father and brothers saw it fit to constantly bully and abuse him for being weaker than them, which culminated in Sanji being thrown into the dungeons to rot. Reiju secretly rescued him, and helped him escape by directing him to a cruise ship heading for East Blue]].

* KingIncognito: Sanji is revealed to be [[spoiler:the third son of the Vinsmokes, a royal Underworld family of assassins that once ruled North Blue with an iron fist. In the world of royal politics, Sanji would be considered ''a really, really big deal'' - the Vinsmokes' exploits and brutality made them feared worldwide, and they have enough political pull to attend the Reverie every year and manipulate HQ Marines to do their bidding, enough to make an Emperor interested in their service. All of that makes them a couple of steps below the ''World Nobles themselves'' in power. However, while it seems like Sanji made a mistake in becoming a pirate rather than staying a prince, he actually has good reason - his father, Judge, tried to weaponize him and his brothers while they were still in their mother's womb, causing Sanji's mother, Sora, to desperately consume a very dangerous drug so her sons would keep their humanity. Only Sanji was saved, and for that, he was abused by his brothers (who literally can't understand their own cruelty) and laughed at by his sister, Reiju, who only pretended to side with her family in public because she feared for her own life. What made him run away from home was when Judge threw him in the dungeons and left him there to rot, only for Reiju to free him and direct him to a ship that was headed for East Blue, with the intent of helping Sanji find people who love him for who he was. Judge knew about his escape, but made him promise never to bring up his family name. That and absolute loathing of his family made him follow on that promise since]].

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Gives one to his entire family after they admonish him for defending a lowly cook, calling them out on their appalling behavior as royals (though it was more directed at his father and brothers than his sister, who was also in the same room as them). Judge's response is to blackmail Sanji into obedience by threatening the lives of the Baratie cooks, especially [[ParentalSubstitute Zeff]], while Sanji's speech completely flies over his brothers' heads because [[EmotionSuppression they literally cannot understand compassion]]]].

** [[spoiler:Charlotte Katakuri foresaw that Sanji would dodge the sneakattack of the weddingpriest but didn't anticipate that Sanji would be able to dodge Katakuri's immediate attack too.]]

* BigBrotherInstinct: Sanji is surprisingly protective and supportive of Usopp, even going out of his way to give him encouragement. This makes a lot more sense when you realize [[spoiler:Sanji can relate to Usopp due to being the weakest member of a group (The Straw Hats in Usopp's case, his family in Sanji's case)]].

** When meeting Sanji's older sister, Brook goes heart-eyed twice and says "So pretty." Shortly after Luffy sees her face and asks "Sanji?!"
* BlueBlood: [[spoiler: He hails from a bloodline which once ruled ''all'' of the North Blue, though he renounced his involvement with his family early in life due to his family's ''horrendous'' abuse of him]].

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Pre-timeskip, he was just a SupremeChef who happens to be ''really'' good at kicking. But during the timeskip, he discovered Haki and {{Flight}}.
