I was browsing in the internet for the saddest one piece backstories (ranking) and found this side. I want to give my opinion so i made especially for this reply an account.
I totally agree with you. For me: 1st Sanji, 2nd Brook, 3th Chopper
Why Sanji Top 1?
Because he has 2 sad backstories.
The first story was quite shocking for me because i read the manga at a very young age so it was quite hard to forget. Sanji was stranded with Zeff on an island and had almost nothing to eat. Zeff share a little bag of food to Sanji while Zeff seems to have an even bigger bag with him. They werent on good terms, so Sanji thought badly of him. More than 2 months later , sanji starts to starve because the food was gone. He looked an Zeff and thought that Zeff selfishly keep most of the food to himself in the big bag. So Sanji planned to kill him and take his bag of "food" as his last resort, which wasn't a bag of food. It was gold and other treasure. Sanji looked and Zeff realizing his leg was gone. Why was it gone? He eat it! Sanji couldnt puzzle why he gave up all his food to him. Zeff had no reason to be kind to him on the contrary Zeff could have killed him or choose not to share his food.
Honestly, in Sanjis place i would have also thought that Zeff is a bad person at first and would cursed at him for giving me a little amount of food over his huge bag of "food". But after i discover the truth i would have so many emotions. Like gratitude for giving up all his food. And would feel guilt that he had to conduct self cannibalism and can't walk properly again. Or emotion like shame and embarrassment because i had mischievous thoughts about killing and cursing the person that saved me. Overall i would feel terrible because in the end you know that the worst person on that island isn't that one legged man, but you... And i think thats exactly what Sanji felt at that time. Some people dont know it because the anime is different than the manga. They change it because of the younger audience.
The second story is about his family and childhood. I will keep it short because the first story was quite long. Man.. its sucks to be Sanji... lmao. And of course his fathers Vinsmoke sucks too. That man "breeded" children with superpowers and treated them like experiment. Those children had early on super hard trainings. Sanji was one of those children, but was lacking. He had no superpowers like his sisters and the others two brothers. The big different about him and his brothers is that he had emotions. Well those emotions put him really to disadvantage i would say. All his life he had the feeling that he wasn't enough. Imagine that your family always compare you with your siblings or other children and you get never praised. If you know. Yes this feeling but worser. The only one who was on his side was his sickly mothers until of course she wasn't so he was left with nothing in the end. ( ill mothers die like 90% in anime. ) Thats not even all. His fathers also decides that he is worthless and looked him in his basement prison. Vinsmoke also force him to wear an iron mask because his father dont want to look on his face again. Reason? This man was ashamed of his son, his failed result.
Well. At least Sanji is now with the Strawhats, so no hardship. Imma right? Wrong! Who isn't finish with the Whole Cake Island arc shouldn't read further because of spoilers.
After years his family are at it again. At this point i would be also totally frustrated. His father force him into a political wedding. Yeah at first Sanji seems to really optimistic after seeing pudding (lol love at first sight classic Sanji) Why not? At this point he had finally accepted that he couldn't come back to the straw hats and he tought maybe being married was gonna be decent. But his fiancée spitted on his sincerity and mocked him. He witness this betrayal and cried in the rain. This was really hard to watch. And again... its sucks to be him. Despite that how his fiancee treated him. He was still kind to her. The biggest heart are those with to many broken moments.
Ok thats all i wanted to say. I wrote so much even tough he isn't one of my favorite one piece character. xD
I just can’t take that show seriously at all :(
Robin:- Since, her story was sad from the start.
I forgot all of their backstories
