Does Netflix's One Piece Need To Reinvent Sanji?

When adapting the anime series One Piece to a live-action show, Netflix may need to change the character Sanji’s problem with women. As a medium, anime has several well-known tropes, both for its plots and the character types that populate them. These can range from the idealistic hero to the strangely emotionless yet competent right-hand man. In particular, there’s an additional character, usually a man, who provides part of the comedic relief in anime as one who is deeply enamored with love and the opposite sex. This kind of character appears in many types of anime regardless of genre. Even if they have other personality traits and abilities, their love of love is always a defining element.
