"I came from Syrup Village"

"Is it a sweet village?"

"No, what are you talking about?"

"I don't understand... why would it be called (trails off)" 

This break is killing me! Revisiting random episodes for fun, completely forgot this filler arc, kind of cute actually. The newer arcs do not focus on Sanji's dream enough and his flanderization post time skip has been one of the worst aspects of One Piece's narrative despite still being incredible overall in the present day. He's great here! I really miss this version of his character. Sometimes it seeps through but the anime really overdoes it.
