Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, has finally revealed a surprising fact about Sanji’s ancestry in One Piece 1085. It was revealed that Sanji’s ancestors were among the members of Gorosei, with the first Vinsmoke being one of them. Who is this Gorosei and what is their connection to Sanji? Let’s find out in this review of One Piece 1085.
As we know, there is one member of Gorosei who stands out from the rest. He is the youngest member with blonde hair. It is believed that this Gorosei, named Saint Germain Venus, is the ancestor of Sanji, the first Vinsmoke.
Eiichiro Oda has given some hints to explain this. The name Venus is based on the names of the Gorosei, which are taken from the names of planets in the solar system. In Roman mythology, Venus is the goddess of love and beauty, which is very fitting for Sanji, who is often associated with love in terms of character and personality.
But why is there the name Germain in the name of Sanji’s ancestor? In One Piece Magazine Volume 3, Oda revealed that Vinsmoke Judge was originally supposed to be part of the Celestial Dragons. If we look at Judge’s initial design, he should have held the highest position in the Tenryuubito, aka Gorosei. Based on this fact, there is a reason why the Germa Kingdom was allowed to attend the biggest meeting like Reverie. Despite Judge’s involvement in the illegal research group called MADS, Judge was even allowed to change Sanji’s bounty from “Dead or Alive” to “Only Alive”. The question is, who controls and has authority over Reverie and the bounties of pirates? The answer is Gorosei. That means Judge has a special relationship with the Gorosei, or at least one of them.
Since the Ohara incident, the Gorosei have not aged, so it can be said that they are the same as Im Sama. Both the Gorosei and Im Sama have been alive since 800 years ago, or during the Void Century. However, the interesting thing here is that the first Vinsmoke Kingdom was formed 300 years ago. That means one of the Gorosei joined the group 300 years ago and he would have the youngest appearance. Therefore, the blonde Gorosei is a suitable candidate to be the ancestor of Sanji, the first Vinsmoke.
In conclusion, One Piece 1085 unveils Sanji’s ancestry as a descendant of the first Vinsmoke Gorosei. With this revelation, viewers can expect more excitement and plot twists in upcoming episodes of One Piece.
