I'm confused by the three shadows bobbin saw. Two possibilities are capone or people from big mom. Capone seems to be likely, but his crew typically is in his body. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it still feels weird. Motive is lacking as well. For both bigmom and capone, there isn't a clear/direct reason to target Bobbin directly.
If for example Capone is with Kaidou, like Forikorder says, I can imagine the more likely target would be the wedding (prevent BM power increase) or the poneglyph, which seems to be an important asset.

i really doubt theyd bring a 4th faction into whole cake island and the vinsmokes are all acounted for

????

I'm confused, are you saying Capone isn't up to something that will go down in this arc?


Big Mom Vinsmokes Capon 3 factions im saying theres not going to be another faction unrelated to those 3 doing dastardly deeds

In that case, did you quote the wrong post originally, since I didn't say anything about an additional faction?

Honestly, this felt like forced drama. I didn't feel anything reading that scene. Probably because of the pacing and how there was not enough build-up. Robin had the entirety of Water 7 and half of Enis Lobby for her Oscar moment, Sanji kind of had a little of Zou and Whole Cake up until now. Also, I think there was a sense of mystery as to why exactly Robin left and whether she actually wanted to go back or not so when it was revealed bit-by-bit over time it set up the tension for her scene. With Sanji, we were able to see exactly what was going on his end of the story so this moment with Luffy in the rain was just confirming what we already know. Also, the other plots at play here really overshadow Sanji's internal conflict. I am quite positive that most people care more about the Raftel and Yonku plot-line way more than Sanji's character development.

So I guess because we have fast pacing and a strong main plot, this scene doesn't feel nearly as important as it should. At least for me anyway.

Also, I don't think there will be a Big Mom fight in this arc. I think Oda is saving that for the next arc when the crew will team up against Kaido - which will be the Oz fight from Thriller Park 2.0.

It's about the "but who knows" part I reckon. He's saying it's Capone for sure because adding anyone else is overkill at this point.

So in essence you agree.

i kinda agree with what you say, you didn't have an entire top tier build up until the famous moment of that last chapter with sanji screaming i want to go back, therefore it feels like it was rushed

Sanji's moment was weak and kind of forced. It had no real emotion or meaning behind it. It's also diluted by that we know that he will not leave the crew so there is no "moment" and that it has been diluted by all the previous exact same scenes..

In your opinions, sure.

The scene felt just fine, to me, and I really enjoyed it.

yeah i dont see how you can fault oda for sanji's scene having less "impact". we knew from the beginning why sanji was doing what he was doing and we all knew he wasnt actually going to leave in the end. you cant expect oda to magically recreate scenes like robin's when the audience already knows whats to come.

It's only vaguely like Robin's in that they share the theme of leaving to protect the crew.

both willingly go with shady organisation due to threats made by forementioned organization, crew raids island base of said organization only to find the rescuee resistant and trying to use mean words to get the crew to leave safely only for a heart to heart talk finally break down there resistance and they tearfully yell out how they want to go home

Apparently Forikorder doesn't know the difference between things being vaguely similar, and being exactly the same.

depends how much were gonna nitpick the details, the only differences is the poneglyph and sanjis family make the situation more complicated, plus the so far unknown conspiracy

the points you mentioned are literally the only similar aspects, everything else is different. if we were to compile a list of things that make sanjis arc different to robins there would be more differences than similarities.
look at the situations from a wider perspective. the main plot point for robins arc was cementing her status as a crew member. other things such as declaration of war on the world government, replacing merry with sunny and acquiring franky were side plots (though not any less significant).
in sanjis arc, rescuing sanji isnt what oda wants to progress in the grand scheme of things, its the strawhats' relationship with other yonkous and more vaguely the ongoing similarities between luffy and roger. sanji is just a plot device for the bigger story
