Zoro & Sanji
Favourite Rivalry in Anime/Manga -

My favourite rivalry in anime would have to be Zoro and Sanji from the anime One Piece, the dynamic between the two of both being super alike to each other because everyone of the strawhats are friends so the type of rivalry they have isn’t with any bad blood. Zanji are always neck and neck with each other because of how similar to one another they are, Luffy’s crew always dreams to be the best so the two of them fight to be the better man by comparing bounties. This creates silly shenanigans they both do which at times can be just to out petty the other one which creates for hilarious moments with the two fighting, where it would start with one of them dissing the other with some funny joke and they’d start to duke it out. The comedy in One Piece never gets old for me just like when Brook says his classic line “But I'm already dead” and id crack up even though I heard it 100 times; just like when Soro fight they could have the same gimmick they diss each other than have a fight and it repeat for a few minutes and it would be hilarious. As the two characters are already very popular and well liked so seeing them fight to see who better makes for a comedic moment or some of the best scenes in the anime.
Not only comedy be used for their rivalry but also some super serious
moments that show that actually they are rivals because they have huge
respect for eachother like two fighters in a ring, that’s what the both
of them are. When the bells ring they fight but when it is over, at the
end of the day they show sportsmanship and honour to another; just like
when the Kuma android attacked, and they fought about who would
sacrifice each other which ultimately is Zoro and showed that Sanji
actually cares about him. That’s why they’re my favourite duo because
they can have rivalry that isn’t one sided or forced as it shows an
actual genuine competition between them. A good rivalry can be underdog
vs champ but also people who at equal strengths, that is what they have
and in my opinion that's the best kind of rivalry because sometimes they
fight and it’s a stalemate or one gets an upper hand on another but
overall you can never know for certain who is the stronger one in the
rivalry. Which makes it exciting and interesting being that way, and
they can be around one another without fighting 24/7 like some shounen
anime do and it gets boring after a while. They know when to fight and
it is in the perfect moment of the scene which makes it even more
genuine because it feels like two real people have an old fashioned
rivalry. It makes it awesome seeing two amazing characters push
themselves to get better by fighting, as from the outside it seems like
they are doing it for no reason but actually they are making a game to
see who gets stronger so that pushes them to go beyond their limits.
Which is why they both power up so quickly through having that
motivation to beat the other one when they next battle. Which is why
they are one of the best rivals in anime.
Thanks for Reading!
