Understanding the Jellybean Feat: A Short Guide for Dummies

⬇️Thread Below⬇️

To begin, it’s important to remember that observation haki necessitates a clear mind to use, and during the ceremony, Sanji had every reason not to be focused

In part it was because Pudding had fallen over in a mess of tears in front of him, which is normally the thing that would draw Sanji’s full attention

But on top of that, Sanji was under the belief that he would be shot by Pudding specifically

He shouldn’t be expecting a shot from behind by the priest, but despite these hindering factors, Katakuri still foresaw him dodging

This lead Katakuri to take his own shot, thinking that he’d be able to take Sanji out himself. MEANING Katakuri’s jellybean would have to reach Sanji faster than the point blank shot from the priest

However, Sanji was still able to dodge the jellybean attack, shocking even Katakuri, who is an expert in Observation Haki. If it was something anyone with average Observation Haki could do, Katakuri wouldn’t have this reaction, it would have been expected

And this same visual effect is used when Luffy dodges Flampe’s silent needle only AFTER he’s began to see the future since he wasn’t able to dodge the previous one

So unless you think Flampe’s silent needle attack is significantly faster than Katakuri’s jellybean, Sanji dodging the attack (without future sight mind you) should be considered similarly impressive

And honestly this visual parallel should’ve been enough to convey whether or not it’s supposed to be impressive or not, but like I said, this is a thread for dummies
