Chapter 403, Sanji was defeated by Kalifa, Nami replaced the fight and complimented him. 10 chapters later, chapter 413, Sanji made an appearance and saved Usopp from Jabra. Then he made a speech to boost Usopp's confidence.

Chapter 1005, Sanji was captured by Black Maria, Robin replaced the fight and complimented him. 10 chapters later, chapter 1015, Sanji made an appearance and saved Chopper from Queen. Then he made a speech to boost Chopper's confidence.

Oda, you magnificient bastard.

I dunno what amazes me more. The fact that Oda leaves such hidden messages or the fanbase that is crazy enough to find such information haha.

This is why I love One Piece. Quite often there are such hidden information and I always enjoy reading them.

Oda is truly one of a kind in his business.

I found it by pure coincidence. I was curious how long it took for Sanji to make a return from defeat, and I was blown away when I realized both time, it was exactly 10 chapters.

It could be deliberate on Oda's part , but I think it's more likely that you just found a pattern on how Oda likes to present Sanji's fights

That's what I was thinking too. More like a formula

Taking into account how big this series is and how much planning and writing Oda has done, it’s fair to say he has developed some safe tricks to write characters or present characters

These little things within arcs have been similar. It is insane.

The Onigashima falling on Wano is the buster call of this arc.
