In the world of anime, it is common for two characters from different anime franchises to share some similarities. The same is the case with Sanji from One Piece. Sanji has been part of the straw hat crew from the beginning. He is the chef and one of the strongest crewmates of Luffy’s crew who are on their way to find the treasure known as One Piece.
Sanji joined the crew during the Baratie arc, and since then, he has become one of the strongholds of the newest Yonko of the pirate world. He has not only shown exceptional skills in terms of cooking but has also made his name by fighting some of the strongest characters of the series. Also, the character is appreciative of every woman he sees and instantly falls in love with all of them.
Sanji may be unique in his way, but these character traits are quite common in the anime industry. In terms of Demon Slayer, Sanji’s personality is quite similar to Inosuke Hashibira, one of the main characters from the series. Both characters share a certain resemblance that may have been noticed by fans.
Sanji’s Character and Personality in One Piece
Black Leg Sanji is the fifth crew member and the Straw Hat Pirates cook. He was the fourth and third son of the Vinsmoke family when he was born. He twice disowned his family—once when he was a young man and again when he got back together as an adult.
His goal is to locate All Blue, the so-called chef’s paradise where the East, West, North, and South Blues converge with their respective ecosystems. Along with Zoro and Luffy dubbed the Monster Trio, he is one of the top three fighters for the Straw Hats.
The kind, composed, cool-headed, and collected way that Sanji carries himself is one of his most recognizable traits. However, he also is very strong-minded and always button heads with his crewmates, especially Zoro, and he is not afraid to smack his captain from time to time because of their silliness.
Similarities Shared Between Sanji and Inosuke from Demon Slayer
A traveling companion of Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado, Inosuke Hashibira, is one of the main characters of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, along with Zenitsu Agatsuma. He is a Demon Slayer in the Demon Slayer Corps as well. Inosuke is aggressive, irritable, proud, and short-tempered.
His constant challenge to most people he encounters and his desire for others to respect and acknowledge his skill make him seem like the strongest fighter in any given situation. He is quite similar to Sanji in terms of being a proud member of the group and when push comes to shove, being the first person to enter the fight to protect his loved ones.
Inosuke fights with swords rather than kicks, but he has a powerful physique that nearly matches Sanji’s. Although Zenitsu is the one with the shallower qualities of Sanji Vinsmoke, adopting the persona of a blond hero who is constantly pursuing attractive girls on a deeper level, Inosuke shares more resemblance with Sanji.
