Do you know what exactly this "ジジ" means?
When Pudding says goodbye to Sanji, she calls him that.
It supposedly means "Old Man" but it's weird that she calls him that. So I wanted to know if maybe it means something else.
i have been like, puzzling intermittently over this for months, but what seems most likely to me is that it’s a sound effect, not dialogue from pudding? jijiji is a sound effect used to convey a sort of buzzing noise, like gathering power, so i could see this being the sound of pudding preparing to use her devil fruit power. it’s a little unclear, because it’s put in the same boxes as her dialogue here, which is why i wasn’t entirely satisfied with that as the answer, but it seems to be what the official concluded as well (it’s translated as ‘fzzt’ in the official translation).
jiji as a word does mean old man, but that doesn’t really make sense in this context at all. (i was trying to figure out if it’s ever used by wives for their husbands in an affectionate way, but i couldn’t find anything to indicate that it is.) it cooould also plausibly be a nickname for sanji? but if that was the case i feel like it would be really odd to have here be the first and only time we saw it used. so ultimately i think it’s most likely to be a sound effect.
