One Piece: How and when did Sanji get his Diable Jambe power?

Vinsmoke Sanji is best known as the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates in Oda's One Piece manga. He is the fifth member of the crew and the fourth to join, at the end of the Baratie Arc. Today, Sanji is an indispensable part of Luffy's crew and, over the decades, has displayed incredible powers and abilities. His kicks are known throughout the pirate world of Oda's One Piece, and he has developed many powerful techniques with his kicks. One of these is the Diable Jambe, and in this article, we will explain how and when Sanji unlocked this technique, as well as what it is.

Diable Jambe is Sanji's most powerful fighting style. In this style, Sanji heats his leg through friction and adds heat to his kicks, creating a small flame with which he can attack his opponents. In this form, Sanji has the ability to burn and even set his opponents on fire. Sanji is able to use Diable Jambe on one or both of his legs at the same time. Sanji first unlocked Diable Jambe before the time skip, and it premiered in chapter 415, or episode 298 of the anime.

In the rest of this article, we'll talk about Sanji and his technique. You'll learn about the Diable Jambe and how Sanji can use it in combat. The article will explain how and why Sanji can use the Diable Jambe and how he can use fire in the series, but it will also contain some spoilers, so we had to warn you beforehand.

Sanji activated Diable Jambe even before the time skip.

Over the years, Sanji has shown himself capable of some truly astonishing techniques, most of which are related to his kicks. And while his Black Leg style is unique in its own right, the techniques he's been able to develop using it are equally astonishing.

One of Sanji's first special techniques was the Diamble Jambe, which allowed him to energize his legs; he said he could do this because of his "burning passion," but this could have been a fanciful explanation. Queen was so surprised by this ability that he potentially speculated that Sanji might be a Lunarian, but this was later proven false.

Regardless, the Diamble Jambe technique debuted in chapter 415 of the manga "Heat Up," which was released on June 19, 2006. As for the anime, the debut took place in episode 298 of the anime "The Hot Kick! Sanji's Full Course of Footwork," which premiered on February 25, 2007. Sanji improved his technique after the time skip, adding some additional elements.

The Diable Jambe is one of Sanji's most powerful techniques in the series, although it is also one of his first.

Sanji learned a martial art known as Black Leg Style that the pirate Zeff apparently taught him, and all of his special kicking techniques, including the Diable Jambe, come from this style, so we wanted to introduce him to you.

All of his maneuvers come from his legs and feet, except when he uses knives to fight Wanze. This unusual martial art is apparently inspired by Brazilian martial arts, Capoeira, Korean martial arts, and Taekwondo, and may also be inspired by the Chinese art of Tan Tui.

Inspiration may also point to a French fighting style now known as Savate. Originally developed by French sailors, Savate consists of similar techniques that use the hands to support the body and add power to the kicks. It is particularly useful on a rocking ship.

Perhaps for this reason, most of Sanji's main opponents throughout the series were all martial artists with their own unique styles (such as Kuroobi from "Fish-man Karate", Bentham from "Okama Kenpo", Wanze from "Ramen Kenpo", and Jabra from Tekkai Kenpo).

As for his actual attacks, Sanji has a wide repertoire of kicks and specific techniques that he uses to fight. He doesn't call out the name of an attack every time he fights someone, except during important events and fights.

Most of his attacks are spoken in French and are usually culinary terms related in some way to the specific part of the opponent's body he is attacking or the nature of the attack itself.

The most common attacks are the Mutton Shoot (Sanji jumps, turns around, and kicks with all his might in the midsection or head of the enemy) and the Anti-Manner Kick Course (one of Sanji's most powerful kicks with which he attacks vertically or horizontally in a straight line towards a usually giant enemy, a typical finishing move).

Aside from Black Leg Style, during the Enies Lobby incident, Sanji demonstrated a new technique called Diable Jambe (French for "Devil's Leg," though it can also be interpreted as Devil's Wind), which involves spinning his right or left leg at high speeds, to the point where it turns red from the friction and becomes inflamed. In this mode, anything he hits with his leg will instantly receive an intense burn, regardless of the force of the kick.

Sanji used this ability in his fight against Jabra, in which his attacks were not as effective due to Tekkai (a defensive technique that involves making the body as hard as steel).

With the heat of this new ability, Sanji overcame his inability to break the Tekkai by burning Jabra in addition to the powerful kick. According to Oda, Sanji can use this technique thanks to his fiery passion, which is even hotter than his own attacks. After the time skip, Sanji is able to heat his legs without spinning and can set them on fire even in the depths of the ocean. Similarly, he can set his entire body on fire to further strengthen his attacks.

Before the time skip, Sanji would spin rapidly to activate the Diable Jambe, which caused friction that heated his leg. This method has been shown to have negative effects, and Sanji risks significant physical damage if he uses it too frequently or for an extended period of time. Here is a list of the methods Sanji uses:

First Hash
Blazing Shot
Extra Hash
Assorted Fries
Devil Sheep Shot

Thanks to his training and the activation of his upgrades, Sanji has further improved his Diable Jambe after the time skip. Sanji can now use his strategy to unleash new, more powerful attacks. They are:
