Didn't even think we'd get this chapter, so very pleasant surprise.

Sanji - All you people saying he needs to hit Pudding need to stop. His stance on chivalry is a core values that makes him who he is as a person. Him refusing to compromise on that is one of the things that make him strong, its NOT a weakness. I'd be incredibly angry to see Sanji cross that line just because ONE female did him wrong. With that said though, those impersonations were heartless. I don't think we've seen Sanji be talked about by a WOMAN like that before, and this is definitely the new low point for him for the entire series thus far. There's been women who question the validity of his chivalry in the past, but never has one flat out called him less of a man for it. As far as how he responds, I'm expecting him to put on the tactician hat that we've all grown accusustomed to. Making waves isn't the way to go here while he's still got those wristlets on, so I see him playing dumb with Pudding while working up a plan to foil the wedding. Not sure how the plan is going to include his family, the Straw Hats, or the Sun Pirates, but I'm expecting nothing short of brilliance. I just want to see him shine now, in the face of all that he's had to go through for OTHER people's sake.

Brook - A little shocked at how many of you were expecting so little of Brook. He's still a Straw Hat, one of the main characters of the series, give the man some credit. I loved his speech about Sanji, its easy to forget how well he understands his crewmates given how little we've seen of him compared to everyone else. He really showed his maturity this chapter, which was a nice contrast from the jokester we've all come to know. I wouldn't have thought any less of him had a made a panty or dead joke this chapter though.

Pudding - Her memory ability to me only further confirms that this is who she truly is, rather than this all being some kind of elaborate act. Sure I can't deny that her disagreement with Big Mom over her dress or the Lola flashbacks leave an open can of worms as to what "other" intentions she may have, but it's pretty clear that she isn't a good person. She needs a beatdown, and right now it seems more appropriate to come from Reiju rather than Nami, but I'll be happy with either.
