Usopp is often purely seen as a source for comedic relief. But Usopp´s character goes actually much deeper than that. Beside his role as a sniper on the straw hat crew, he also has a goal that is focused on character development. In every Usopp fight over the journey, Usopp develops a little further. This video takes a closer look if Usopp is on a good way to become a brave warrior of the sea. This also includes his role as Sogeking.

O'hara maybe he will be right hand he calls himself vice captain
I feel like he’s the human aspect in an otherwise otherworldly show.
Where did you get a copy of your op characters.theyre cool
I subscribed after watching this video. Keep it up!
You could have put a rick roll link in one of them
You forgot that he's a genius inventor. working alongside with Franky building new things for the ship, and inventing his and Nami's weapons.
A genius inventor, alongside taking care of a garden of plants he uses as his weapons post-time skip, is said to be one of the 3 back-up chefs(along with Nami and Robin) when Sanji can't cook during a QandA with the author, plus does most of the haircuts alongside Robin.
He likely does the most general care for everything on the ship, as Franky only repairs the ship itself, and Sanji only cooks.
@@Late0NightPC A true everyman
before franky he does ship building, like you said he does cooking when sanji is not around, he does inventing, he is comic relief, before brook he was the life of the party, always the one starting to sing and making people laugh at party, he was also supposed to be the vice captain when oda initially planned, meaning at one point he had zoro's job. he is captain ussop, so he had luffy's job too (no kidding, check his vivre card or wiki, usopp pirates is recognized).
he know first aid together with nami before chopper joined.
he was also main helmsman together with chopper before jimbei joined.
the only exception is probably robin cause he sure aint no archelogist thats for sure
Hell yea
@@ionmeth2031 If there's a chance that there will be a One Piece spin-offs series I would like to see and read the Usopp Pirates manga.
I love his entire character development, especially in Dressrosa, but what I'm remembering so vividly right now is that moment in Thriller Bark when I thought: "So. You're basically telling me that Sanji can break through a concrete wall with his leg but when he gets a little negative he feels the self worth of a flea? That Zoro can cut steel, but when he gets negative he's on his knees wishing to be dead? That Luffy, of all people Luffy, feels worthless when being negative? But Usopp feels negative 100% of the time and still manages to stand on his legs, exist, think effectively, stand his ground and even find the determination to put up quite a fight? Wow, RESPECT. That's pretty badass." It was really the moment I fell in love with him.
@@kos-3327 You know, you aren't obligated to like a character but it's just plain asocial to post a hate comment on a video lauding that character's achievements. Maybe grow up and we can talk then.

@@kos-3327 that's really not that good of an excuse
The fan art of ussop is sick....imagine that being future ussop
Agreed! I hope he looks like that.
JoHn YaRuKi I hope his design gets closer to an Elbaph Warrior since he wants to me just like them and have a similar sense of honor.
Came just for the art
Usopp be like, "You calling me a liar? Well I am and I'm going to keep it that way"
I hope he looks that *badass* when he carries the title "The Giant" or something similar as he will eventually become the bravest warrior of the sea!
Usopp has always been my favourite character.
He feels like a real person in the story, not just some overpowered beast.
Although he has monstruous defense (as he isn't dead after heavily injured by Mr 4 and Jabura), but him and Nami are representing human of SHP, that is why they heavily relied on their weapon
he is a beast his attacks are op stronger than a tank because he could just cover a tank in his plants i think
Bro he’s so overpowered he can’t kill people but he can give them everlasting trauma and PTSD.
+ And he can carry a gigantic 10 pound hammer.
@@AquilaMeno 10 pounds wow... thats like an entire cat... so strong...
@@YSleepish I used the wrong word but it's kind of true
Usopp, the man changing his lies into reality.
The opposite of many people in the goverment!
TENGU...
Thats what makes him a God!
Ikr i remember when he tild the girl from his village about the goldfish that was the size of aj island and he actually saw it when he met the two giabt warriors of elbaph
@bojack sheepmen it is a coincidence
"Can a man be brave when he is afraid?" "That is the only time a man can be brave." Could be Usopps tagline.
unfortunately Ned Stark did it years before
@@TicoHyuuga who is Nerd stark?
Usopp has the greatest haki ability which makes all his lies into reality.
He is the walking spoiler in one piece.
😂😂😂😂
😂 True 😂
He is one piece's Notrodame
"Walking spoiler"
can't wait for the day he actually commands 8,000 men and says the thing
He is part of the most OP Trio of Characters:
Go D. Usopp
Buggy D. Clown
Con D. Oriano
Lmao go d usopp
Yoo
CONDORRRRIAAANO!

Remember that. Dofy acknowledged him.
Fact
G O D U S O P P
He, more then any other straw hat, ruined doffys plan. It hinged on sugar completely. Not underselling what ussop did. Just pointing out why sorry was so pissed
Doffy felt his conquerors haki
hahahah yes😂
"When I was re-reading the entire story the other day" like it's no big deal lol
Lmao
When we talk about One Piece, I felt that!
Hahaha
So what? I re-read the story 4 times already. I'm at my 5th re-read atm, currently in the Dressrosa Arc.
It's literally like binge watching The Simpsons in a day.
Usopp reacts the way a normal human would react in a world as crazy as one piece, his ability to keep moving forward despite that makes him more brave than anyone else on the crew.
Usopp turns depression into a power during thriller bark. The man is a god for a reason
"BECAUSE I'M ALREADY NEGATIVE!" is to this day still one of my favorite moments in all of One Piece.
I’m a simple man. I see a video about Usopp, I click a video about Usopp, I like a video about Usopp.
I made a video on Ussop
Saves video of usopp to watch video of usopp later 💯
The straw hats reaction to fear:
Don't know fear:
Luffy
Zoro
Sanji
Robin
Franky
Piss themselves:
Nami

Brook
Should be feared:
Usopp
that's what I like to see
Brook: i would if i had a bladder yohohoh
@@Nehauon 'Skull Joke!!!!'-💀
didn't Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Robin get scared when they saw those giant sky shadows?
@@digdog66 yeah bro even if roger accidentally reach that giant , oro Jackson be like faster than kizaru
Can we talk about how Oda had to wright God Usopp out of the picture because he would have one shotted Big Mom on WholeCake island.
SkramDM .... guess he will get his chance now?
Wait, what?
Haha, right Usopp never missed! Big mum would have been single handed by him. First the picture of Mother Carmel, then whatever can slashed her.
So... Now he one shots emperors?
I could imagine Usopp and Bege working together as snipers.
Luffy explaining his crew to Ace, ". . . a reindeer. Oh, and a liar, too." hahah
Usopp and Luffy friendship is one of my favorite friend in anime.
For me it's the friendship luffy has with all of the crew. I'd give up the world for a group of friends like that...
For me its zoro and luffy. I just love how zoro comes off as the bigger brother always there to save his wild younger brother.
Wilver Angulo they totally dont have that relationship. Zoro is a friend with the same mindset, they rarely conflict in serious situations.
@@premium_chrome meh. It's a friendship built on massive respect for each other.
@@Elvin.M. very wrong. What the strawhats have for each other is way more then just respect. They are in a way a family. I mean zoro throw away his pride for luffy and got mihawk to train him. Zoro and the rest if the crew would die for luffy thats more then just respect. They love luffy.
Can't wait for the Elbaf arc. Zoro has the Wano arc now, Sanji had WCI, i think it's Usopp's turn with Elbaf.
If WCI was sanji's arc... then sanji definitly got fucked over by oda. Sanji kept taking L's i hope sanji will get his own "all blue arc" someday
@@cho9467 definitely. whole cake made alot of hate sanji
@@cho9467 You clearly did not understand that arc at all. It was full of fantastic character moments for sanji . If this is SANJI DIDN'T GET NO FIGHTS. One piece is about far far far more than simply beating the shit out of people. Some fans are way way way to over invested in a one piece as only a fighting series. This is not dbz, narrative is more important than the fights, characters are more important. Sanji got what is thus far the third longest arc in the series to revolve around him, saying that he got fucked over by oda is objectively wrong. Brook has never had a significant 1v1 fight and yet he is agreed to be mvp of whole cake island, because of his moments as a character. A segment of the fanbase places far far far too much emphasis on the importance of MUH 1V1s. One piece sets itself from other shonen with great characters, narrative threads, and world building. Most shonen are poorly written with bland characters that are all about simply fighting stronger and stronger enemies. It is a genre for 12 years olds boys after all. One piece has so much more to offer. Basically all great narrative art is great because of story, and characters, not mindless fighting. Bellamy vs luffy is often not seen as a great fight, but it is, bellamy may have been no match, but the fight is great being of the narrative, because of the context behind the fight. Usopp vs luffy is great because of the emotions behind it, usopp never was a match. Boiling down one piece to fighting is a fundamental misunderstanding of this series. I'd grown quite tired of sanji's gag, but WCI made me take him much more seriously as a character.
@@cho9467 if you think having a character focused arc means getting a lot of fights... then you just don’t get One Piece
@@Dr.Farewell everyone watches a show different.. just because you think my way of watching one piece is wrong doesnt mean i dont get one piece... jesus u realy think everything you do is how everyone should do it like shut up bro
To me Ussop is the strongest and most dangerous Mugiwara and has been for over a decade.
He is not classically strong; he does not appear strong; and physically speaking I am pretty sure everyone else on the crew is stronger than him; but he is mentally strong, He is a Jack of all trades. He pushes forward through pain and depression, and never is gobsmacked. It was Perronnas fight where I decided he was strongest. In One Piece the ability to persist is key. Luffy fell to sadness and Ussop never did, when his mom passed he never stopped and just adjusted his focus. Zorro required re-encouraging as a child to remain on his path. Sanji/Nami/Robin all let their weakened state emotions guide them as did Law. Chopper required Kureihas heavy assist. Franky has never come to good terms from his low point. Jinbei is rather stout in heart and mind, until you realize he runs from his true self and pours it all into others as he sacrifices himself.
Ussop always overcomes his own self doubt and anxiety; when he needs to.
Exactly! In OP terms, his willpower is outstanding! That's why I was pretty excited in Dressdrosa, when he awakened Observation, his will become so strong that it finally pulled through.
If no one transforms or use df usopp ain't the physical weakest he can beat robin , brook chopper and nami 100%
@@Isaac-cb8zq well, I dont really think so... even without df's Robin was an assassin, And Brook ( Considering we count him as still being able to move) Would still have his swordsman ship and speed (Oda himself stated that Brook is the fastest Strawhat), Nami Vs Usopp would be interesting, both arent physically strong, but clever and love to fight dirty. I dont know what Chopper would be able to without his df so I give usopp that one.
Jay Ryze yh but usopp prolly got mad stamina after running round the island bruh he used to be fat so I think he might have some more strength that we haven't seen bruh 🤷🏾♂️
@@Isaac-cb8zq haha well I didn't think about it that way bruh 😂 he really could have mad stamina, however I don't think it would help against assassination tactics 😅 however he earned some props from me :)
Being coward makes him a good strategist and adaptable in any kind of battle, that's why he is my favorite character in One Piece... He is also smart/intelligent in making weapons for battles that's why he deserves to be a crew member of the future pirate king...
All of his fears, in the latest part of the story, are also completely justifiable. He's not a superhuman and he knows that; when he was left alone facing Trebol, he knew that loosing would have meant not only the complete failure of the operation SOP, but it would have also ruined the only chance they have of defeating Sugar. The most rational choice was, of course, running away and wait for help; but Usopp just couldn't leave behind the Tontattas who blindly trusted him.
Sometimes people really should put away their "Shonen glasses" and try to understand characters' action... In One Piece we are used to see main characters escaping whatever bad situation, but Usopp doesn't know that he's in a Shonen, of course he'll be scared of facing someone like a top commander of one of the most dangerous men in the world. Just give him a break.
frr i really dont get the hate for characters that blatantly show their anxiety and is deemed cowardly in shounen terms, i think theyre essential to develop this realism bc we're so used to overpowered characters that sometimes people fail to relate to or even find a more in depth enjoyment to the story. it is pretty tiring seeing the same generic structure of characters nowadays so usopp's journey with the strawhats is so refreshing and ultimately became one of my fave fictional characters
It's more so people who want a power fantasy.😶
I agree. Usopp is the real presentation what human nature looks like. Luffy , Zoro and Sanji traits doesnt exist in real world. Only Usopp does
oi
Because people grew up on Dragonball Z and only rate characters based on their power and badassery rather than actual character development.
When you realize that ussop's hair is in fact an afro 😳
Afro😱😱😱???well that explains why he is GOD
@@ragnarlodhbrok1684 it's only one of the reasons
He really does portray what a normal person would be if they were faced with monsters and stronger opponents that his crew mates face every time. I’d freak out if I saw a seaking. Even if I know there are my friends who can take it out easily, I myself know I wouldn’t be able to on my own, thus freaking out. But I’m glad he got to have his moments to really shine and prove he belongs with the straw hats.
It's as Ohara just said in the video...Usopp is in actuall fact a brav warrior of the sea he just doesn't know it. And one day, hopefully closer to the end of the series, he will hear people talk about him or see it in the news paper - the headline - "God" Usopp - brave warrior of the sea!
hehe 69 likes. :3c
Yes and people hate him for crying and being so scared but I know damn well if I and people I know were put in his shoes we would be crapping our pants
The Dressrosa moment holds a special place in my heart for another reason.
Robin was completely forgotten, and therefore, Usopp's act of Bravery in Enies Lobby was forgotten too. At that moment, Robin wasn't the only one who disappeared, Sogeking was too. Because Sogeking existed just because of Robin. Usopp essentially lost a very important part of himself that day, a part of himself that represents his bravery and what he wants to be.
So him coming forth and taking on Sugar despite that is made even more impressive when you realize that Usopp was pretty much back at square one. He didn't only take back robin and the other toys, he had a personal reason to fight Sugar, to take back his Bravery.
Only the coward is capable of the greatest form of bravery
Yes.
In the entirety of One Piece so far, I only had 3 times, 3 times where I shivered out of reverence for a character.
The first time was in logue town where captain smoker held his monologue, talking about luffy, right after he escaped death.
The second and third time were on thriller bark where zoro jumped into the ball of pain
And when usopp faced against perona.
I felt a massive amount of respect for usopp for fighting against perona, because him being the only one who can fight her actually shows the unlimited amount of willpower usopp really possesses.
When everyone else were hit by the negative hollow, they were incapable of fighting. Even someone with as much will as zoro or fighting spirit as luffy, at that moment were utterly defeated.
People remember these scenes because of their comedic value, but I remember these scenes for the mad respect.
Being, as someone who suffers from massive anxiety and depression myself, I fully understand the extend of what it can do to you.
And seeing as people as stubborn as luffy and zoro were unable to stand up again, after they felt this fear, yet usopp, who always feels depressed, afraid and anxious fight on, truly shows that on a pure level of will itself, usopp is in fact the strongest nakama within the straw hats
And idk why there is some idiots who call him useless just bcuz of his coward personality
I'm in love with him. I'm 1000% agree with what you said and I really think he is the strongest character in one piece.
@@heavensdoor844 That's people whose only measured usefulness with how much they could fight enemies, probably they're the same people said that Chopper and Nami useless although both doctor and navigator are some of the most vital role on a pirate ship.
He was so annoying, at the start of anime. Now you cant imagine straw hats without Usopp
So true.. I would rather skip his parts or increase playback at start ..but now I am watching his parts are in RUclips again and again..after watching thriller bark and dressrosa usopp become my one of favorite
My only thing is I wish he was 'Serious' more often.
I never found him aweful, just comical and a "normal" person with fear and bravery.
I really didn't like him on first watch, but after everything that's happened I love early usopp on rewatch. I get him and his progression now, so seeing what he's like early on gets me in the feels because of how far he's come.
in hindsight, i realized that ussop is one of the most ''everyday human-like'' character in the crew - he displays emotions and feelings that any human would show whenever they feel inadequate in a group of people that are more able than him. however, despite that he still finds it in him to move forward and keep going. i respect that
Hmmm well bro u should go check out this guy potential unleashed video about him and read the comments bro....like literally everyone there hates him. U are a person that I can respect as much as usopp has done stupid things to piss ppl off....we can all agree that all the crew mates do sumthing to piss u off
As someone who struggles daily with anxiety issues and being afraid, I always felt drawn to Usopp for obvious reasons. His reasoning for leaving the crew in Ennies Lobby resonated with me. Usopp gets overlooked and left behind by many fans, but what you just stated and explained in this video really shows what’s great about him. Time and time again he overcomes his battles. Inner battles and physical battles. He might not be the strongest and will probably never be. He is a lot of comic relief often, but just like you said he is more than that. And I personally have been excited for the Elbaf arc, which I think is going to be Usopp’s arc, ever since Little Garden. Cant wait for him to become that Brave Warrior of the sea ;)
I love the variety of characters Oda implements in the straw hat crew...i can relate with every straw hat for different reasons...i can relate with Chopper's fear of making friends and the fear of being betrayed...i can resonate with nami's guilty pleasure for materialistic things but also very simple things like harvesting tangerine trees that remind her of her childhood...i can relate with Usopp's "this place looks too dangerous so i'd rather stay away from it" sickness etc
*To realise he was a brave warrior of the sea all along.
Ussop is Lowkey probably gonna have the biggest role in the final arc behind luffy and zoro.. I actually feel that his character is more important plot wise than sanji character and I love sanji. it just feels like that's the direction his character is going.
Yeah I could relate too.
I love these
usopp's awakening of his haki is one of the op moments that I'll never forget, i just cant explain the joy and how proud am i of usopp at that time, i really felt like, dude u did it. this time, u actually did it. damn, I'm so proud of you bro
Does no one remember when in water 7 the franky family beat him up and stole from him? He was ashamed of himself to the point where he told nami that he didn't know how he would face the crew after that. He even fought the franky family to get the money back. That was a truely epic moment
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt
I love the fact that your analyses of Usopp and Zoro are the most viewed. Glad people truly respect the two greatest (imo) dudes in the show.
Do we really need an analysis for him!!, I mean the name alone is more than enough.
Go D Ussop
YOU STILL WATCHED IT
@@LiSWAGG ofc I will it's him
Indeed
😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for this! I've been telling people that Usopp's character has progressed along the way but all they can retort is "He's still a coward!". They don't even realized what's the difference of his cowardice then and now. As a person who also deals with anxiety and always run away from my problems, I see where Usopp is coming from. I even envy him for overcoming it in the course of time. But at the same time, he inspires me to be courageous. I am amazed how Oda handled his character. Usopp is the most cowardly but also the most courageous. And what's more? These two aspects of him coexist well in him. Like how did Oda even do it? That if we think about cowardly and bravery, Usopp always come to mind. His character feels real cos in reality, people don't stop being scared. People always have fears, even if they overcome one, another fear will emerge. And Usopp is the representation of that one aspect of human nature.
oda does it by putting usopp in different situations, every time usopp overcomes a fear the next island it's always more dangerous , also by making his progress realistic tangible and slow, he doesn't completely change in 1 episode
@@eslamanwar1171 Exactly! Usopp and other strawhat's developments make more sense unlike other manga/anime whose characters change 180 degrees right after an incident that has major effect on them. Oda handled it better with Luffy tho. Luffy was depressed for his brother's death. His character that time took a 180 change. But that's natural for someone who witnessed his brother's death in flesh. However, Luffy didn't stay depressed and got angry in the world. He coped up quickly cos that's who he is. He can bounce back everytime he falls.
I also loved how Oda handled Usopp's character. Since Arlong Park, Usopp is always insecure of his role in the crew and anxious of his capabilities. And I'm glad Oda finally addressed his insecurity and anxiety in W7. Oda didn't suddenly put Usopp in that situation so that he can create an internal conflict. He built it up since Usopp joined the crew. The reason why the internal conflict is organic and isn't out-of-place.... and more heartbreaking. Oda is definitely a master in handling his characters.
Arguing with people that hate Usopp is like arguing with a brick wall. Most of these people seem to have some strange standard for characters that the only thing that matters is how strong they are in a fight, and that being a coward instantly makes them a shit character. I usually just end up feeling sorry for them. How can you appreciate more complex characters when you have such a childish way of viewing things?
He's really not the same character at all. He engaged demalo without even really understanding what was truly happening.
ussop: you don't need any weak members right luffy?
grand war arc
luffy: there are members in my crew that are not strong, but i still wants to travel with them
Usopp is the bravest because he has the most fear. Luffy, technically speaking, isn't nearly as brave because he's fearless lol
@Fluctuation he has fear sometimes, but generally not. Think of how many stupid, dangerous things he's done because he just dgaf. I legitimately think Ussop is more afraid of swimming than Luffy is. Btw, not slamming either character; I love them.
Fluctuation Luffy is absolutely fearless. He didn’t set out to see because he had to risk his life for a grand adventure, he wanted to have fun.
@@ImTheBluestBird I think "fun" is underselling it a bit. There also were promises made. with Shanks and with Ace.
But yeah. Luffy has basically no fear for his own life. He is afraid of losing others though. And to prevent that his monkey brain tells him to CHAAARGE in and beat up the baddy :D
For Luffy risking his own life is what it means to fly a Jolly Roger (He talks about it in his fight with wapol). And that is integral part of his dream.
I wouldn't say that Luffy is fearless. I get what you are saying, but in my opinion Luffy is just more willing to take that risk of dying in order to achieve his dreams, and on top of that he is abnormally resistant to physical damage because he is made of rubber.. Usopp on the other hand cant risk dying like Luffy can because he still yearns to develop his own character. While they both have something to prove, Luffy is already the man he is supposed to be, while Usopp still has to prove to himself that he can be a brave warrior.
Jordan Myers Luffy has fear, fear of losing friends. That's why he made sure he and his crews to train for 2 years so they wouldn't lose anyone thanks to Kuma for the lesson
When it comes to Usopp’s story, I can picture him eventually becoming a legendary figure, but the gag is that his hometown will remain clueless about it😂
I'm looking forward to when Usopp becomes a lot more than just a meme character in the community.
Eric Archavaleta he and Buggy are the two characters who are made into the most exaggerated memes.
@@thomasraines1396 your mom is overused u should replace her too
Sniping sugar was by far his best moment so far. That was at least a kilometer/mile away
And he’s a wonderful inventor responsible for some of nami’s weapons. He’s always been a useful part of the crew
I know Usopp is a really divisive among fans, but I feel like when you realise that he is trying to stand among the monsters on his crew and stand out as a warrior as just a normal human that is crippled with fear (as we all would be) when facing these kind of enemies that they can swat away, he truly is brave and a fantastic character. He subverts what a standard shonen character is in many ways. I love Usopp! Another great video! Looking forward to the next! ^_^
Zoro and sanji are just normal humans.
They are normal humans who trained to be strong. What you so mad about?
@Anal Jihad have to agree with old mate, they're still just humans. 🤷♂️
@@ashton7845 they aren't normal humans tho
@@ashton7845 they are called monsters for a reason either their bodies were born to become monstrous or their mental to train like hell they just have monstrous qualities so not just 'normal humans'
My absolute favorite character in the series. So happy for this video. I see Usopp as the most “normal” human character in the world of One Piece. The fact that he accomplishes so much is really great to read
Also is interesting that in dressrossa, when Robin turns into a toy Ussop forget about her this include the reason for Sogeking to born, so with the lost of this memories his character suffers a great regretion that has to overcome again
Fuckin factz
A creative weaponsmith (see his sniper ammo and upgrading Namis Tempo). He and Brook are two of my favorites. Nicely analyzed.
Come around kids, it's time to tell you the tale of the Great Mighty Usopp!
This is the story of how cowards become brave warriors. The story of how gods are made!

Ight. I see you Ohara. I see you.
GOD USOP|WARLORD BUGGY
Those two name are enough To shake the world in fear.
Honestly I'm proud of Buggy. He made it!! He reminds me of King in OPM, over powered because of how people think he's a monster and because of the Legend built around him.
Agree! Love Buggy and Mr 3 so much
That's why this series is the best!!
Buggy D Warlord
The brilliance of having Usopp and Robin leave the crew in Water 7 is just masterful. The crew is brought to their lowest point. It condenses the story perfectly while maximizing the stakes. First, the drama of Merry which brings the need for a real shipwright, a role Usopp had fulfilled to the best of his ability. Second, it contrasts the two crew members who left. Robin leaves because she fears she'll be thrown away by the Straw Hats because of the danger she poses. Usopp leaves because he fears he'll be thrown away because of his perceived weakness and uselessness. Third, it weaves in the World Government which up to this point was just a background threat that consisted of somewhat good guys with a sense of reasonable justice to our knowledge (Coby, Smoker, Tashigi) who were willing to work with pirates against a bigger threat. Could you imagine if Usopp and Robin leaving the crew had been broken up into two separate arcs in the story?
Usopp is a character we can all personally relate to. He’s one of the few characters that could be any normal person. Which is what makes him so intriguing and makes you root for him.
The scene where Usopp is told that the Merry can’t be repaired is such a powerful moment. In denial, he compares himself to the ship, speculating that it’s only a matter of time before he gets replaced too. Oda’s writing really broke the mold here as Usopp questions how much he will sacrifice to become pirate king. Even Luffy, a typical Shonen protagonist with relentlessly unchanging core values, is forced to rethink his choices. It is such a pivotal point in the journey of the straw hats which later helps reinforce the role of each crew member and gives Luffy a new perspective into what it truly takes to be a captain.
Loved the video, Ussop deserves the recognition. Everyone I've talked to about him judges him too quick and doesn't take the time to get to know him, when in reality he is such an amazing character and probably the most relate able character.
Usopp's biggest lie is the is the one he tells himself when he says he can't do this or that.
There's a message to be had in there somewhere.
Dude you’re a breath of fresh air amidst so many One Piece podcast channels. I love how precise your essays are, and the increasing depth of the topics. Gambare.
The fact that Usopp might just be like us normal humans, (ok he's beyond average but yeah) and also the fact that he is a member of the straw hat pirates that faces crazy situations, makes him truly braver than them, considering that normal people would definitely leave the straw hat pirates about how many scary places it encounters.
These videos are super good and are done better then other videos on similar topics glad I sub
This video needs more recognition. Ussop is one of my favourite characters ever and this video hit me hard
I fell in love with him after seeing what he did in arlong park, he's so breve, I really look up to him. I'm hopping to be as breve as him
Usopp reminds me of Sokka from Avatar. I think his character had it rough being a sniper in a 4 man Pirate crew. He had to fight outside his element and try o make it work. Now with so many members in the straw hat I can see Usopp having better fights.
Usopp is one of the Monsters of crew. Him, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji never been sick in their lives.
Also them 4 in movie heart of gold with the observation haki in heart of gold
I always thought Usopp drew a parallel between him and Merry with the root being that it originated and joined from the same place as him and that he had a special connection to her.
My favourite character. No competition. He even fires at Arlong earlier in that arc, despite knowing how fearsome he is. Can't wait to see what he does in Wano!
You make good points with Usopp and Luffy's relationship. I just finished re-reading East Blue and Luffy's got this great line before Syrup Village gets attacked "There's someone on this island that I care about." The whole "captain usopp" aspect of his personality is important because it gives relatability to Luffy's. He decided very early on to recruit Usopp mainly because he's Yassop's son but also because he totally likes him as a buddy. At that point Nami and Zoro were more like co-workers. Zoro has had moments where he expresses doubts Luffy's pirate-kingship, one of which being in water 7.
Usopp's speech to the Tontatta was a great moment in my eyes. Really does a good job reflecting upon Luffy's iconic "pirates not heroes" speech. It's honestly a shitheaded moment that rounds out Usopp's "somewhat decent guy" character.
I thought of him because you had him in the title. And usopp is brave because brave is not the absence of fear but overcoming it.
Edit: Oh damn I should have waited x)
There's even a scene at heart of gold where Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp sensed an approaching enemy while the other members doesn't seem to notice it. Though it's in a movie and probably wasn't canon, it shows how great Usopp had progressed
Usopp's always been my favorite straw hat and character in this series. Yeah I can understand that people find him annoying and weak but a lot of that is also what makes his character compelling and great. Can't wait to see what he gets to do in Wano.
Although sanji is my favorite character I think ussop is the best character because he is a afraid and physically weaker and more susceptible to injury, like in alabasta, so those moments of overcoming the enemy or obstacle using his strength and beating his fear has a lot of emotional impact and enjoyment
Great video hope to see you cover Sanji and Robin
yes yes please make a video for Nico Robin and Sanji, please!
Sanji should be next, if he is doing all of them in order.
@@spyfire242 You cracked the pattern!!!
Usopp is not just a comic relief. Usopp is the man!
I've been subscribed for around 2 weeks know and I truly believe this is some of the best one piece content on the Internet. Keep doing what you're doing.
Usopp went from being the biggest barrier to entry for the series to being one of my most beloved characters.
😂😂"when i was rereading the entire story the other day"😂😂😂😂😂stop cappin bro
@trandmain Keyword: reading. It takes a week, or even 4 days if you're that determined to reread the entire series
Usopp is the only character in One Piece who sings his own theme song/OST
Usopp really grew on me after watching the anime and reading the manga a lot of times. The more I go back, I notice how amazing his character is. Not that I did not appreciate his character from the first time, its just you see subtle things in the story that makes Usopp a wonderful character. A character not only there as a comedic relief.
He is currently TOP 1 for me. That's God Usopp for you!!
I'm also excited as to what will unfold on the current arc. Especially, since this will be his first official fight after dressrosa (I hope?)
God damn this is such a good video.
By the way, I'd also mention the moment usopp is about to shoot sugar with the scary painting, when he gets kind of a "flashback" into the future, which would make him scared but he just bravely shakes it off and then awakens his haki. That was a really cool moment
One of my favorite Usopp moment is when they realise Sugar's back in the fight and he immediately begins to get ready to snipe her.
“Your not just a crew member your our friend, and noone can replace that!”
... i just don't understand how one can even think that usopp a comic relief...
Because he is funny...?
Luffy is pretty funny. So are zoro, sanji, chopper, frankie, brooke and Robin.
still tho, i love how Usopp is so negative that the negative hollow gets depression
And that is why Usopp is my favorite Straw Hat. Sanji being right on his tail.
MY FAVORITE! He is the bridge character that connects readers to the story, because Usopp could be any of us, and despite this he always manages to live up to the situation in one way or another
There is a theory that Usopp is actually telling this story to his GrandChildren about the time he was a Pirate working for the (now dead) Pirate King and thats why it's so exagerated.
That's 100% what Oda is doing
That theory is more fitting for Brook since he's practically immortal. Imagine Brook telling stories to kids/people about the bravery of the strawhats pirates while playing with his instruments.
ShadowkillZ but it wouldn’t be as extra. If it was brook. Usopp is a liar. He is a storyteller. It makes sense that It would be Usopp
I like this theory, but wouldn't Usopp make himself look cooler from the start? Unless he realized as he grew older what we allready know: that it's not about being fearless but about facing and overcoming your fears. So in the story he eventually tells his grandchildren he actually portrays himself quite realistically.
And that's how he met their mother.
i dont know why although usopp's story actually moves me in tears...
Luffy is never afraid. He's always determined, always confident, never doubts that he *will* reach his dreams and overcome every obstacle in his path. Luffy is inspiring, but he's never afraid, and thus he never overcomes his fears.
Luffy is afraid. He is afraid of losing his friends. To Luffy the ultimate goal is not the physical treasure, it's the journey. As two dimensional as he may seem, one thorough look to his character arc is evident to show you how much he loves his friends.
2:00 my favorite example is in albasta when he battles mr.4 he starts to run away but when ms.merrychristmas makes fun of luffys dream to be king of pirates, usopp turns around and fights them saying that he cannot just run away after that
Ussop is my favorite character
Go. D Usopp. The will of D is strong with this one
1 like = 1 respect for our Lord and savior, God Usopp.
You mean Go D. Usopp?
@@3nu570 this comment made my day lmao
@@3nu570 Lol
Blasphemy!
Lol this is the most accidentally blasphemous comment I've ever come across. God usopp is one thing, after all any man can exalt himself to divine status by shewing forth these qualities. But Lord and Savior are qualities of one BEing. Just to say. Choose ya words.
Usopp is easily my favorite straw hat, especially pre time skip. He was hilarious.
I enjoyed usopp's character he seems the most human out of the bunch
Courage is not having no fear, it’s being able to act optimally in spite of being afraid. I’m so glad you understand this and explain it beautifully.
Does the same go for
Condorrriano
Condorriano is off the charts!
con d. oriano
Con D. Oriano
Wow. I never realized his character went that deep and complex. I’m simply speechless
Finally the love usopp deserve
He is my favorite character 😀
dude really did just change the title to "The God"
Loved the video, absolutely love that art!
This is the first time I've found a video worthy of a 'like'. Your character development analysis is fantastic. Good work.
I feel honored! Thanks a bunch
One moment o recently find out and understood the importance of is back in sabaody when the crew face Kizaru and Zoro is at his worst stage and about to being killed. Usopp doesn't doubt one bit to stood up in front of kizaru and shoot him to protect his friend, even if it did no damage, he overcame his coward self at least for one moment when someone else was in danger.
What I admire the most about usopp is that, for knowing fear so well, he knows exactly how someone's fears can be used as weapon. He oftens defeat his enemies using their fears! It's something that only he does in the entire anime, other than simply attacking physically
I can’t wait till the do my man’s usopp right! I love that character. His time skip design is soooooo fire. I know he’s going to become a badass at on point. Hope they kick his coward trait. Now imagine if we get a backstory to usopp’s dad and he’s was the exact same way. I love Yasopp as a character so bad ass so confident, when he told Luffy he can shoot an antenna off an ant, sooooo bad asss!
