Surtr, a figure in Norse mythology, is either a fire demon or a primordial giant known as a Jötunn. He was the first fire giant to rule over the fiery realm of Muspelheim, where he served as its guardian, standing at its border with a flaming sword.
During the event known as Ragnarok, which marks the end of the world in Norse mythology, Surtr is fated to lead the fire giants in a battle against the gods. He is regarded as one of the two "supreme evils" in old Scandinavian myths, the other being Loki. Surtr's name means "Black" or "The Swarthy One" in Old Norse. The Jötnar, plural for Jötunn, are often seen as "the opposite of the gods" in Norse myths.
Some highlighted connections here:
- Fire demon
- Loki connection (Both Sanji and Loki are princes)
- Surtr’s name means “black” and Sanji have a black epithet.
- The Opposite of the Gods (Sanji is/will be a D?)
During their time at Thriller Bark, Zoro had warned Usopp that Sanji's anger might cause him to transform into something. In his battle against Queen, Sanji claimed that his flames were fueled by his passion, and thus, he could still increase their intensity even further, as his passion was unmatched. Sanji also mentioned that his newly upgraded exoskeleton and Armament training had allowed his legs to withstand the heat of his flames. This meant that he could fight for a prolonged period, although his legs might not be able to endure the impact and heat.
In Islamic mythology, the Ifrit, also spelled as efreet, afrit, and afreet, is a powerful type of demon associated with the underworld. They are often linked to the spirits of the dead and have been compared to malevolent geniī loci found in European culture.
As a personal theory, I believe that Sanji's Diable Jambe would be represented by orange/red flames, while Ifrit would have blue flames. The third stage, Surtr, would be depicted with black flames. This could be symbolic of Oda's use of the number "3" in Sanji's character, including the three stages and three flame colors.
