Usopp ran in dressrosa because Robin had become a doll so all his growth as Sogeking never existed in his mind.
That's the best justification I've ever heard
In the end he didn't run away anyway, he just went around in circles until facing the enemies
More people need to realize this
And also he barely knew the tontatas. He had been brave for his crews and their dreams but it was rhe first time he risked his life for people he barely knew.
Never thought of it before Totally not Mark on his BLIND OP run made me notice. That actually makes sense
"learning how to fly cause hes afraid of gay people" is the greatest fucking description ive ever heard
To be fair he eventually embraces it and learns to fight from them
I genuinely cackled
@@justinlapicola8505 And to be even MORE fair, they were definitely trying to sexually assault him.
It took me a second to realize it was sanji
I could be misremembering, but don't the "guys Sanji is afraid of" literally chase him all over the island trying to molest him? And didn't Sanji have to essentially brainwash himself to maintain some level of sanity while he was stuck there? It's a very bad take to criticize Sanji for getting traumatized by objectively not okay people.
It's like: sure, he learned that they're nice people that he can get along with well enough...if he can just look past the sexual harassment.
no clue why he showed a pic of soge king when talking about usopp, but ok
Yeah that doesn’t make any sense
Yeah idk why, maybe he picked wrong picture of him, that's ok
fr
nah bro sogeking is usopps friend thats why he was up there
stfu
In defense of Brook, his stand against Big Mom and how he referred to her as "young lady" was really badass. MVP of Whole Cake Island.
Facts
Tbf, Big Mom is way younger than Brook. About 30 years I believe.
@@luckyman4906 that's what made it so funny and cool to me, it was as if Brook were saying: "Shut up and respect your elders, ojousan"
I remember reading someone wishing for Brook to call Kaido "spoiled brat" and dear God that would be also hilarious and cool.
He is also much more deep than people make him out to be. His characterization is really subtle, and the way his character is a commentary on death is really cool. Brook has so much heart and charm to him, he can have badass moments, amazing backstory, and a kickass fro. He's honestly my favorite character in OP (probably biased cuz i'm also musician with a fro lol) but I get that some people just don't resonate with him as much
@@luckyman4906 22 years younger, still a lot.
"Nami is the voice of reason"
Nami when she finds out a billion berries are in the stomach of a dragon: 😍
and that's how Kaidou died
What are you doing here sho chan?
@Tin Watchman if anything robin is the voice of reason
@Tin Watchman only when it comes to historical discoveries though
Robin pulls out sack with gems
Nami: I LOVE YOU BIS SIS
Oh, this might be an interesting perspective on the series. I wonder what he has to say.
"So number 10 is Brook"
I now understand how Garp felt when Sengoku was holding him back at Marineford.
I agree with him at he had cool moments in WCI but not enough for me to want to see him over other strawhats maybe I could put him at 9 or 8 but not any higher on my list
I just can't understand putting Jinbei out of bottom 3.
I mean it’s okay that you love a one note character. Bugs Bunny was a one note character.
@@nathanlevesque7812Why is Jinbei bottom 3???
@@samaustin8690 because he is pretty much brand new and isn't necessary
Whenever Usopp stood up to fight, it was always for his crew, his friends, in Dressrosa that was the first time he fought for people he didn’t really know, so I found it understandable and In character to run and not wanna deal with that, then turning around and deciding to fight for people he doesn’t really know, just for the right cause is a big leap forward towards being who he wants to become
Eh - it's a good thought, but Usopp has been willing to fight people outside his weight class since *East Blue*. Remember at the very start of the Arlong Arc, where he (*absolutely alone*) tried to fight a fishman one-on-one as soon as he saw there was Nojiko and a kid to protect?
(*Not* the actual attack on Arlong Park - I'm talking about the part where he and Zoro's old bounty-hunting pals arrive at that village Mohmoo destroyed.)
I agree, in the past Usopp was a terrified but level headed (when compared to the rest of the crew at the time) character. When he started running away from the fight in Dressrosa like he always did in the past, then he stopped himself and forced himself to go back and help was a huge leap in his character arc
My head canon is since he lost his memory of robin he lost most of his character development from around that time.
@@madmiles5288 Prob not "most" but some development yeah, and I don't think that is just headconon. I mean, since it wasn't stated directly it isn't 100% confirmed tbh, but I think that it's atleast fair to say that it did play a role in it.
I think it is because he forgot about Robin. Robin and the whole Enies Lobby arc was big for Ussop’s character development, and when he needed to be brave, he looked at Sogeking. But if he forgot about Robin, then his enhanced bravery, Sogeking, and all of his development during Enies Lobby is lost, which turns him into a coward again.
Jimbe has to have the most badass line in all of One Piece when he stares down Big Mom and goes "a man who will be part of the crew of the Future Pirate King cannot be scared by a mere Emperor of the Sea" LIKE BRO
Pales in comparison to anything that escapes Zoro's mouth

So what I'm getting from all this is...Everyone needs more focus and One Piece is too short.
I agree there’s not nearly enough episodes
@@therealshakinbacon manga
Well "About 5 more years" has been Oda's run-time for the last 20 years.... So there's that...
Nah too many side characters
Lolol, need more One Piece, at least 12more islands, 20 more years!
Zoro's backstory reminds me of simpler times, when a backstory didnt have to be a a 5 chapter long tearjerker (or an entire arc, luffy)
It's not JUST his backstory theres backstory for some other people in there.
I feel like the main character should get a backstory ranging an entire arc, especially for one of the longest animes ever, after all the main character is supposed to be the center of attention and you're supposed to relate to that character the most
And when people weren’t made of diamonds and are tougher than everything
The girl died from falling down stairs
@@keymanser2726 some people believe she k¡lled herself and that was a way of hiding it from the other children
I love Zoro as much as the next guy but I feel like he's lost some of his humor post-timeskip which is a shame
I love how Favorite Straw Hat lists vary so wildly from person to person, it's very rare for two people to have identical rankings... But Zoro is somehow almost always at the top.
I guess it’s because when it comes to zoro, he doesn’t really have too many flaws. As a character, his main gag is to get lost, which helps him evade plot till he gets into an important fight. his fights are often long and drawn out but he’ll always win. He’s pretty chill and doesn’t express a lot, which is pretty appealing
Zoros gag makes him more exciting and less trope than the others. He has shown up late, but not slept through, perved out, been too scared, etc. and Wano really let him stretch his legs after being out of the picture for a while.
Not for me
Zoro is definitely up there due to his fight against Kuma. Though I think Zoro was actually best in East Blue where he's just super laid back and enjoying life. One of my favorite scenes is after they defeat Buggy and the townspeople show up asking questions and Luffy just tells them "we're pirates". Zoro starts laughing hysterically. I miss that Zoro. Timeskip Zoro especially is boring. Some of his fights with Sanji are still funny (particularly their fight on Punk Hazard while Sanji's soul is in Nami's body), but otherwise he just works out and drinks.
@@demdem7946 I just went back through the East Blue arc. As far as I can tell, Zoro didn't have a bad sense of direction early on. I don't think he really started getting lost until Alabasta. Luffy was the one getting lost to begin with; he didn't even know which way was North when they met Usopp.
The one thing defending Usopp during Dressrosa for me is this: He lost his memory of Robin once she was made into a toy. Robin was the whole catalyst for Sogeking, which was where, to me, I saw the most of Usopp's devolopment. After the time-skip, it seems to me like Usopp has sort of become what he envisioned Sogeking to be in the first place, so when he lost his memories of Robin, he also lost his memories of Sogeking, and became the coward he was pre-Alabasta even.
Damn, that’s actually a really sound explanation
@@zaynthemane Thanks, it's not mine. I'm pretty sure Totally Not Mark was the one who first got me to think about it like this. Either him or Grand Line Review, I can't remember which
I don't know how true that is. No one else seemed to have personality changes at the loss of a memory of someone. My understanding is that you still remember events, but the person in those events just becomes a hazy mess you can't really seem to focus on. So Usopp would remember all of Enies Lobby, but not who he was there for.
Also, he came back and defeated sugar, so it's not like he abandoned the Tontatta's completely.
and even then: e buckles down, stops his cowardness and goes back to fight! he technically loses, but still won in the end.

@@JazzStation95 they were trying to force him into wearing a dress. Like I feel being like get the f away from me is fair.
Trapped in an island of homogenous people and culture forcing their views on him. How tolerant and neighborly. The germa days were hell, but at least he had mom and reiju.
I think the fact that Luffy, before learning Sabo was alive, asked Franky to eat the Mera Mera no Mi is pretty telling how Luffy feels about Franky.
It would be insane if franky was a user too. I hope 1 more straw hat gets a fruit by the end of the show. It would change things up like crazy. Imagine the possibilities.

@@thomasbertrand8204 he can already go invisible though via speed.....
"I like fat chonky Chopper, he's cute, he's kinda uggo" LMAOOO
the best part about zoro is the fact that he seems like a stoic badass who almost doesn't really feel like he fits with the crew, but occasionally you see he's just as goofy and weird as the rest of them. like when they get the modifications to the going merry to ride the knock up stream and his problem with them isn't how ridiculous they look but the fact that chickens don't even fly really, or how he insists you gotta do a tarzan/george of the jungle yell when swing on vines.
Skypiea was peak comedy
What about when he woke up from his dream and scared the whole crew or when he got lost with a litteraly compass right next to him😂😂😂😂
@@user-gk6nt5gi5n that is why he isn’t the navigator

Yohohoho music joke
Badum tss
"Ba Dum Tish"
Damn.
Consider my timbers shiverred
Zoro's loyalty is so top tier he was willing to throw away his whole dream of being the greatest swordsman, to sacrifice himself for Luffy when faced with Kuma after thriller bark and nobody has any idea he did it.
Well almost nobody. Remember thriller bark was when we first saw Brook. Brook knows!
@@everythinggaming9651 Plus Sanji and some of the people who were with Lola
He wasen't giving up his dream, he was so confident of his dream he will stare death in the face and say he will make it.
"By the end of one piece..."
Yeah sure, good joke
It’s ending in 4-5 years tho
@BEEG YOSHI I assume the Manga will end in 3-5 years but the anime is gonna end in 10 to 15
@BEEG YOSHI Yeah I know. But thats genuinely what I think
I like how Jimbei’s politeness plays off the other Straw Hats. Like Sanji gets mad at Jimbei and Jimbei’s just like “Oh, sorry, my mistake.”
ProZD: "Number 8 is a character I really like"
Me: "That's understandable, they're all great characters, and in such a group putting someone low on the list doesn't mean you hold them in low esteem."
ProZD: "And it's Robin"
Me: "Oh, so we're fighting now? That's why you made this video? Because you want to fight me? Bare-knuckle, no holds barred?"
But it's true though.
I love Robin, not as she is but for her potential. The only reason she's not in my top 5 is because there's not enough panel/screen time for her, and she got nerfed IMO.
She used to be stronger, but now she's like a boring damsel in distress that can't punch someone.
I'd say if he was to rate backstories, potential or importance to the development of the story, they'd all be placed differently. Robin is integral to finding Raftel because of the poneglyphs for instance.
@@Zeverinsen I agree. As much as I love One Piece and think it may be my favorite manga/anime, the story kind of repeats itself over time. They go to a new place, people are opressed, Luffy fights the most powerful person there, Zoro fights the second one, the rest of the guys do shenanigans to destroy the bad guys's empire, and then they move to the next place
@@caiorocha1049 I mean, you can see that pattern repeat, because at the end of the day, One piece is a shōnen manga, the ways it builds until the fights is different every time, but at the end of the day you can't leave a place without fighting a villain
@@Euas_ i mean log town and cake island disagree, they ran cause they couldn't win
She was my favorite Straw Hat after Enies Lobby
But Oda hasn't let her do anything since sooo... I'd make her #9 since Brook fuckin slaps
Sungwon Cho: *bored in quarantine*
ProZD: "Let's start a controversial argument in the comments"
did he really put robin at 8 and luffy at 5?...is this man insane?
@@razkable opinion-wise, maybe. In general, at least not on video lol.
Since I was a little girl Nami was always my favorite character, it just fascinated me how she sacrificed herself for the village, went through so much pain and fough so hard through all the years under the Arlong Pirates. I think a lot of times people really underestimate her strength and that she is one of the most devoted strawhats (These people see her like that because they aren't able to see behind the superficial character traits - that every strawhats has btw - and think that just because she is weak that she's completely useless). Eventhough in comparison to the other strawhats she is indeed physically weak, if there is someone who needs help she will not run away (I think Oda showed that many times like for ex. on Punk Hazard where Nami just coudln't bring herself to abandon the children). Under the surface Nami is actually really brave (just like the other strawhats, but I think it is more important to mention it when it comes to her because she is physically the weakest and for her it takes much more to put herself in danger). Nami is such a special character who is extremely skilled, unfortunately it isn't shown that much anymore but it is just like this with other characters too.
Edit: What's really important too, she is really undoubtely one of the kindest characters in One Piece!
Preach sis ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ
She’s kind in terms of saving lives. That’s not really a description of kind, more so of noble. She’s not in the ranking of top kind characters
Tbh i feel like you just summed it up about how i see her. Shes a very well written character which is why she deserves the #2 spot
I'm not very far into the series but Nami is easily at the bottom of my list for kindest strawhats.
I agree with everything you said nami has always been in my top 2 and sometimes 1 she's one of the few strawhats who gets development each arc
Tbh after Brook’s encounter with Big Mom he became a huge favourite of mine.
For real. I don't even understand how you could make Brook #10 after that moment. I'd sooner put Franky there.
@@MichaelHufnagleInIT i agree with the brook part but franky is SUPER
@@MichaelHufnagleInIT Franky got better after the Enies Lobby, his backstory really made me cry and having such a tough guy but a softy is such a fun character.
He's redesign tho... It definitely looks weird
yeah Brook adds an amazing dynamic to the crew. But honestly, he might be at the bottom as well for me. I really like Brook, but i think I might like the others even more. Although I might like Brook more than Franky. Hard to say.
For real, the huge panel in the manga where he's facing her down, makes him look so badass. Then there's the reveal after he's rescued that he got the fucking rubbings and just casually gives them to the crew like it's no big deal. I swear to god his balls in that arc were so huge that I can't believe he was still able to run on water... But wait he's a skeleton so he doesn't have balls. Skull Joke Yohohohoho!
Never thought I'd say it but you're right.
Zoro is a himbo
AxxL I looked at your channel and I saw a video called revealing my two girlfriends’ genders and that just made me go like 😐
who is the best villein in one piece?
Yess
i had to google what a himbo is, but i 100% agree
as a person from the male gender, zoro is one of the coolest characters i have ever seen
I really hate the term himbo. Look forward to it fading out of use.
I love in Thriller Bark arc how Usopp is litterally the only one who can defeat Perona because of his really really bad negativity. I love this combat so much!
2 things:
1. the main reason Robin sadly doesn't get much anymore is because her purpose in the story revolves in the ponyglyphs, which will most likely relate to the final arc
2. A little disappointed you didn't mention my favorite moment in the entire series, not just my favorite Zoro moment, and I won't spoil it if you haven't seen it but to summarize it: "what happened here?" "absolutely nothing"
Nooo that moment was 😭
i feel like pro likes characters to have more chunky plot armor, bigger fillers cuz one piece fillers unlike others are so suspenseful and emotional, and since they already each had such amazing backstories of course we'd want them to like continue, we know usopp's father is part of shank's crew so he'll get a backstory for that maybe, and overall just emotional and wholesome, one piece isn't all adventure and from the start was always this venture-fantasy explore and stretch-on thing for meh, every character is amazing in my opinion in their own way.
Hes aboviously seen the “nothing happened scene” if he mentioned jimbei and robin in wano💀💀
That's because nothing happened
I get the feeling that this upcoming arc in the manga will be the Usopp arc (as we get into more stuff with giants & Shanks's crew, which relate to Usopp's two big goals) and the arc afterwards will be the Robin arc (as we learn more about Laftel and the secrets behind the poneglyphs), similar to how Whole Cake was the Sanji arc.
With that said, I do agree with ProZD here for the most part. Even when arcs focus on single crew members, these are 100-chapter sagas, there really should be time for characters to get strong moments. Like Oda smartly cut out half the crew for most of Dressrosa & Whole Cake, presumably for the sole purpose of giving the others more time to shine, but like... Robin still felt lackluster in Dressrosa?

That hurt my heart EVEN THO I DONT HAVE ONE YOHOHOHOHOHO

In defense of Dressrosa Usopp. When he did that Robin was deleted from all their memories via Sugar's power. It actually led to a REALLY interesting and philosophical discussion about how deleting Robin from their memories means that his whole Sniper King arc was heavily affected. So while he was being cowardly, it feels to me that he was set back a bit on his arc.
Brook: "ProZD ranked me dead last. That's fine, no skin off my back..or at least it wouldn't be if I HAD ANY SKIN AT ALL!! YOHOHOHO"
One of my favorite theories about Zoro is that his family never abandoned him, he just got lost trying to go home.
Also, one of my favorite dumb moments with him is in Alabasta when the marines mention his terrible sense of directions and tell him to go north to the clocktower. When the other Strawhats arrive later and ask why he's on top of the building, he just replies
"they said to go north"
"So you went UP?"
In defense of Usopp, while he did run from the fight initially, he stopped and still went back, just as he's done in some fights pre-timeskip.
the way this makes too much sense-
Sanji reincarnation of joyboy
He just did that cuz the little ppl literal cried, thats ussop, if ppl its not dead or close to, and they dont cry help, he wont help, he is the worst in straw hats, his mentality is even worst than a lot of the villians of OP no jk.
well what if I tell you that zoro is actually dead, he died back at trhiller bark iland when he took all luffy pain, but he got lost on the way to afterlife so he back to the living world
I think he ran because he forgot that he needed to save those children and thought “OH SHOOT I FORGOT THE KIDS”
I have never thought of it as "Sanji learned to fly because he was scared of gay people" and it made me laugh so hard I spit out my coffee.
I thought the same. To me he was running because they very clearly wanted him to dress and do things that he really didn't want to do.
I find his saying that Sanji “hates gay people” to be very unfair. If you as a straight man were being chased at full speed by a very large group of ugly, (they’re drawn ugly) hairy, muscular men wearing dresses trying to put you in a dress while creepily catcalling you, what are would you do? YOU’RE GONNA FUCKING BOOK IT.
@@TinkLink1111 the way you worded it is perfection 😂
Especially since he clearly respects Ivankov and had a decent relationship with Bon clay, who isn’t confirmed to be gay but definitely hangs with the Okama squad
Varun Narayanswamy ...bon clay talks about how queer he is in Impel Down.
brook consistently does things that impress me. he's like a tactician. like early sanji/mr. prince shit. he's always making moves silently in the background to support the cause.
Breaking the portrait was really cool
i would see him more like this if he didn't have the panties joke or as much of the corny humor. I would've wanted him to be a more mature character and not self-deprecatory or pervy.
My favorite thing about Zoro is ever since he promised Luffy he’d always win after being beaten by Mikawk, he hasn’t really lost.
He lost by a hair to god and kuma
Aokiji tho
Yoooo thats cool
@@linkheroofspiritsakatrains4812 to be fair he never lost to aokiji or kuma..he did lose to enel though..oda kinda messed up there...and hody i guess
@@linkheroofspiritsakatrains4812 well maybe he meant he’ll never lose to a Swordsman again
"robin is the mom....franks is the dad" you are so correct. i mean, even her whole "oh god youre embarassing stop" thing about frankys weird ideas is so....mom and dad, i just cant describe it xD
Agreed. I think we're all just hardwired to accept "sensible capable mother/eccentric inventive father". There is truth to it, though. 😁
I'm pretty sure in an SBS, where Oda was asked if the Strawhats were an actual family what would their roles be, he listed Robin as the mom and Franky as the dad, so even the creator sees that dynamic lol.
Franky is the uncle. Jinbei will become the dad (taking over from zoro)
@Tin Watchman Not responsible enough?
*Franky Family:* Are we a joke to you?

How I see Brook is he is always upbeat and lighthearted because he sees his job as being funny and making people happy. That was basically the Creed of the Rumbar pirates, and they died singing. He survived those fifty years by laughing everything off, so he’s probably a little bit insane from that. That is also why he might come off as insensitive sometimes. He wants to always cheer people up.
Brook is kind of a broken man. He spent 50 years with the rotting corpses of his comrades with his last shred of sanity being his motivation to meet laboon again. He is so happy to actually see people who he can call a crew again
Hey, not a sanji fan but something I heard once regarding his nosebleed is that each of the big 3 have fatal flaws that are fairly surface level. Sanji demonstrates his weakness with women when the nose bleed becomes a real plot device instead of a joke. Zoro's terrible sense of direction is his weakness, and Luffy is too trusting of others.
Plus his weakness to food especially meat
I think a lot of them have that, especially the 5 from east blue Nami is very greedy, and usopp is a coward
I really like how the characters flaws make it so the other characters are important. One of the problems with say dragon ball is that a lot of the other characters are just not important. Like one of my favorite fights early on is when luffy is trying to fight miss goldenweek with the mind effect powers and luffy is unable to get a hot and NEEDS usopps intelligence to win
Luffy is really good at reading people, his IQ is his weakness as well as his bullheadedness in certain situations
@@wowisntitanamazinglyamazin9550 Yeah, but that part at Whisky Peak was kind of weird that Luffy trusted the people there he met that day over Zoro just because they fed him once
"Brook doesn't add anything to the Straw Hats"
Whole Cake Island would like to have a word with you
For real though, people are sleeping on Brook. He’s been one of the few Characters to become even better Post-Timeskip, and has totally proved his usefulness to the crew on multiple occasions.
The MVP of WCI
@@MoreColtraneChanges Yeah, on serious occasions he is a super dependable crew member. He isn’t like the coward trio who only act when cornered. And He is the only reason they were able to get the road poneglyph without a complete all out war. And also on dressrosa where he tricked and defeated Giolla and literally saved Nami, chopper and momonosuke. He is pretty strong and a worthy member.
he has by far the most interesting backstory?? maybe except jimbei, theyre all like I Went Through This Trauma As A Kid and yeah its cool, but people forget Brook is (and was) a whole ass adult when he HAD TO LOSE HIS ENTIRE CREW AND BECAME STRANDED WITH THEM WHILE DYING AND TURNING INTO A SKELETON IN COMPLETE LONELINESS FOR 50 YEARS
like bro everyone sleeps on his past ;-;
Ikr? he has the saddest story and is unnecessarily dependable.
My theory about Zoro is that he didn't lose that eye, he just scarred himself to look cool.
My theory is that he lost his eye because it has the same sense of direction as the rest of him and cut its way free and got on the wrong ship. Once they land of Raftel, they're gonna find it there waiting for them, wondering what took everyone else so long to catch up to it.
@@lnsflare1 damnit that is so much better then my theory!
Honestly, 100% a Zoro thing to do
once again following his captain.
You don't need to theorize, it happened on-screen. When he first started training with Mihawk at the start of the time-skip.
Honestly even my lowest ranked SHs would still be one of my favorite characters, one thing about OP is that it has alot of great and awesome characters so even characters out side my top like 25 I still love.
yeah..jinbei for example has like 4 great moments but he also has a weaker backstory and just recently joined...where as brook has like 2 moments but he had a top 5 backstory and he also has not been a focus/ around much
Tbh the okamas were trying to force him becoming one of them. And that’s why he ran, he was cool with ivankov and Bon Clay
i dunno... he respects them for risking their asses to save his crew's ass before, so he owns them for that, but wonder what happened to bon-chan magellan imprisons him after his sacrifice and man, I hope luffy someday breaks his out of impel down he was mvp of that arc he's chad, ivankov doesn't strike me as much except for being related to dragon, someday he reveals plot between luffy's father he's gonna be really cool probably a revolutionary arc coming soon
@@jinanren2026 I think Oda drew what happened to Bon chan after on the cover page. He basically took Ivan's spot in Impell down.
I think sanji just didn’t want to be kissed by them or forced to wear a dress. And since the okamas saw someone on their island they must have thought he was an okama so they wanted to “help” sanji express his hidden maiden. Like a cultural misunderstanding thing
That one scene in Wano were Luffy and Zorro run into each other and Luffy just jumps into his arms, that’s gold. It’s clear how much they love each other (as a family), and it gets me every time.
It's not like family theres clearly sexual tension in that scene no one can stretch luffy like Zoro can

I know that most people feel the same way about Chopper and Brook, and in general wish the crew had more screen-time together, but I think there's something to be said about the fact that everyone would love to see those characters developed.
Like, nobody actually dislikes any of the characters, and would actually love to see their least favorite characters more. That's something you really don't get from your average shounen anime.
Like imagine if we had a whole series dedicated to Sakura from Naruto, or Grey from Fairy Tail. Nobody really wants that. But an entire series based around Brook, Chopper, Robin, or Usopp? It's impressive that Oda's least developed main characters still are more likeable than some fully developed main characters in other shows.
Edit: Took out Krillin because apparently people do want to see a full series about Krillin.
I second this
I agreed on everything you said except for what you said about Krillin. I would absolutely love a slice of life series of him and his family.
ProZD's opinion on Brook is in the minority cause Brook is a fan favourite especially after WCI
@@erois6190 Idk about fan favorite but people definitely like him more because of it. Either way, every straw hat character has had shining moments post-timeskip (chopper with law on punk hazard, usopp's snipe in dressrosa), which is honestly quite amazing considering how the story has moved away from the straw hats and towards the entire world.
oh, totally!
Usopp is a scaredy cat ,but isn't everyone scared of death ?(I'm talking about normal people) The best part is that he is kind ,no matter how scared he is ,you will always find him standing up against the enemies for his friends , he'll be shaking like a leaf but yes he will be there ,the man is supposedly "weak" but he gets shit done when he needs to .I respect him for that .
Zoros "nothing happened" scene was one of the most badass scenes ever
Wdym? nothing happened during that scene
In terms of Usopp in Dressrosa, a lot of people are saying that it has to do with the fact that he forgot Robin, therefore he forgot Sogeking and what it was like to have courage, but I'm not seeing people mention the fact that the Tontattas were basically complete strangers that he met earlier that afternoon. In all of Usopp's major fights, he fights for specific reasons.
Syrup Village: He's fighting for the village that he grew up in and loves, also the Usopp Pirates and Kaya
Arlong Park: He's fighting for his own life
Alabasta: He's fighting for his friend's dream
Even in Thriller Bark he fought Perona for the sake of his friends, because he was the ONLY one who could fight her. I could go on, but the point is that every time he's forced to fight, it's for people that he loves and cares deeply about. Dressrosa is first instance where he has fight for COMPLETE STRANGERS, and with no emotional bond to drive him, along with forgetting Robin, he becomes pretty much more cowardly than we've EVER seen him. Don't get me wrong, I was really annoyed with his actions the first time I saw Dressrosa too, because he's by far my favorite character in the series, but the more I've thought about it, the more it makes sense.
Also this is the same arc where he develops Haki otr of desperation, He need it to save Luffy and Zoro from another side of the continent while being chased from having the highest bounty, That for me gives him a edge during that Arc.
Also this is the part where a bunch of morons think he's a god and he end up posing like Jesus on the cross while having his body beat it to pulp... Do I need to explain why's that funny?
At this point When I'm reading new chapters I've stopped questioning Oda's decisions and started just looking for what he might be off screening. Especially rn being the time in the manga being where it's at. Because often when I reread or wait awhile those decisions make more sense and actually help me appreciate the story more. Realizing just how much thought Oda's put into things.
Like Robin not fighting as much. It makes a ton of sense from a character stand point where she spent 20 years fighting daily from the time she was 8 all the way up till the end of Enies lobby. She is tired of fighting when she doesn't have too. But understands her goal will require to too fight from time to time and so she gets stronger. I think she is actually one of the strongest fighters if she has too but avoids it as much as she can. Which works because often the best time for her to go look for things like the Poneglyphs is when the fights are going on and the enemies are distracted.
@@UltraPaperGamer Yeah not too many people mention that moment oddly enough. Easily a top tier Ussop scene
But why was it written this way? Oda could have given a reason for him to care and be invested. Why put a character who needs emotional bonds in a position with complete strangers? Well, to make him a coward, to show that his true nature is self-motivated. And that might conflict with what some people previously thought of him, that he was a *selfless* coward, and people hoped he was developing into someone who would be more stout-hearted in the face of steep odds, not just for the sake of his friends, but for the sake of his friends' *ideals.* And if forgetting Robin, or not knowing the Tontattas very well, is enough to make him behave the way he does, the story isn't doing a good job of communicating that he is a selfless person. That says his ability to face enemies even when he is scared isn't part of him, it's something that Robin makes him do. And that is fine, I think that's still a cohesive story & compelling in it's own right, but *if* you were a person who thought Usopp was going one direction only for him to go another, you could justifiably be disappointed and drop his ranking a bit.
@@Kithara1117The thing is he is conflicted between being selfish and selfless. That is his character trait.
One of the scenes that made me love Zoro the most was when he took Luffy’s pain during thriller bark
Same!! That's when Zoro became my No.1
After just looking through random pages in the manga, and seeing a fight scene with Zoro, I fell in love with him 🤣 and it convinced me to watch the anime.
i think where zoro got to me was in bartie where he took the slash from mihawk, as a kid that was the coolest thing i have ever seen
One of my favorite recent Zoro scenes is when he somehow manages to get lost and separated from the crew *while riding the same giant dog as Luffy*
...but, nothing happened!
Usopp had the most character development in the series. The way he slowly turned from a coward and liar into a fucking god is EPIC. And the fact that Luffy during the dressrosa arc believed in him was just amazing.(the whole tontatto thing)
I agree with you putting Nami on the top cuz i really like her and she's on of the the starting members of straw hats, with zoro and luffy and ill always have respect for her. She's honestly one of the most realistic characters in the series with usopp who knows she is weak and knows she can't contribute to the team with her fighting, so contributes with her brain. Oda proved here with Nami and Usopp that not every character needs fighting skills to be awesome.
anyone who does not have usopp top 5 is lying...hes for sure up there with nami sanji robin in that 3-6 range..100%
For real. Whenever Luffy was asked about Usopp in Dressrosa, he'd always say "Don't worry, he's got this". GOAT captain.
Except the god thing was more or less just a gag, albeit a good one that I hope continues. People didn't know why Don Flamingo gave him such a high bounty, so people assumed he's insanely powerful and threatening. He is definitely less cowardly post-ts tho, and Film RED showed how competent he can be with Hakki. I hope we get something like that in the actual series more.
I feel like Usopp getting some muscles isn't that bad. He's still part of the weak trio but you expect him to have gotten at least this strong from 2 years of training especially since he has to not immediately die on his first battle in the New World.
What I didn't like is Franky after the time skip. He just looks too much like a toy. I liked pre-timeskip Franky way more.
Same the new frankly design is just a bit too goofy
@@thumbsup6042I feel that it's the hair that ruins post timeskip Franky. His hair was one of the funniest parts of his character, very Ace Ventura. They take it away and make his hair a joke, but he looks shit without it. Every time Franky has a haircut, like in Dressrosa, Zou or some of the games, he looks MILES better.
Ussop ran away in Dressrosa because Robin was turned into a toy, so he forgot about her and as a result also forgot about the events of Enies Lobby. So at that moment Ussop reverted back to his old cowardly self as the memories of when he found his courage were gone.
I appreciate this explanation. I was dumbfounded by that awful moment and it killed him for me. That explaination makes the scene work a little better for me.
Wow that makes so much sense thankyou
And when he went back despite having no one he held dear to defend, to become a hero for people he didn't know, that was his next step and his newfound willpower manifested in his actual willpower as an ability - the observation haki. God tier storytelling. I think Sungwon is completely off on Usopp.
Thank you
@@Allen-qs2xr also he forgot most of the Tontattas at that point, as most of them were turned into toys as well.
To be honest I love brooks humor so much. The part where he jokes about himself or scares people for example, not the part with the panties.
He also only does the panty thing like, the first time he meets the person and then hardly ever again. Unlike shit lord Sanji
@@Zorae42 Ay yo don't let me catch you disrespecting Sanji around my parts again
@@erois6190 I'll stop when Sanji becomes a respectable person. But given the fact that he's only gotten worse somehow, I don't think it'll ever happen.
@@Zorae42 Nah bro Sanji is more kind hearted and respectable than 80% of the characters in the series even with his perverted tendencies. Judging by your name you're probably a Zolo fanboy
@@erois6190 can u explain how sanji is more kind hearted or respectable than most people in the series? i see that you put the guy down for possibly liking zoro, so i will use zoro as an example. in water seven after the usopp fight zoro has a serious talk with luffy about how he cant let usopp just join back unless the very first thing usopp says when he comes back is an apology from his heart. zoro talks with luffy about this because since they are in the grandline everything is very dangerous, and zoro cares for the whole crew in that he doesnt want anyone getting harmed because people were treating being a pirate like a game. when usopp did finally come back to the crew and they were sailing off usopp tried making it all into a joke, while luffy and zoro, the person who said to not let him join back in the first place, acted like they couldnt hear him until he did say that apology and plead to be let back into the crew. zoro shows that he cares for everyone in the crew (other than fighting with sanji sometimes) and but with sanji on the other hand he disrespects the captain many times, and also treats everyone on the crew that isnt a women kind of like they dont matter.
He really said "I Believe In Zoro Supremacy" and he was right
when?
I absolutely agree about Chopper. I prefer his old design far more
The moment Zoro takes on all of Luffy's pain after Thriller Bark cements him as one of my favorites in the series. Interestingly, that moment is also one of my favorite Sanji moments, when he stands up to protect Zoro.
That moment rlly showed how even with all their silly and dumb bickering and fighting they truly cared for each other enough to give up their lives
I hate the Brook panty joke but he's one of my favorites. I think he embodies a sense of loneliness that you can't see in any of the other crew. It, unfortunately, doesn't have much of a place outside of his arc but he makes skeleton puns and angle jokes which might be considered cringy because he's so tired of being alone. He doesn't want his new friends to leave. I love his scene with Zoro at the grave and his backstory is my favorite. The song breaks me whenever I listen to it at one specific moment every time. When it transitions from all of Brook's friends dying while singing to the straw hats and newly freed pirates are being idiots and having fun singing. I always get the feeling from that scene that this will probably happen for him again and he knows it but he makes friends anyway in spite of this. There is also a line in the dub which breaks me almost as hard, "After all is said and done you'll end up a skeleton."
his panty joke is the best
I unironically love Brook. He has definitely been the GOAT of the Yonko Saga so far.
Could you imagine spending 50+ years alone in the exact same place where all your friend died.
As a bonus the sun never shines
As a bonus one of the only thing you have is a recording of your friends dying.
Scared of gay people might be a stretch, They were chasing after him, even though he didn't want them to. The people of Okama Island don't know that no means no!
Yes, but from a writing perspective the whole idea of Okama Island is engrained in homophobia and transphobia.
@@theashtray607 basically this, Especially when you see Sanji literally loses it over seeing “Real women” again on Sabaody, Im pretty sure Oda has took notice to this tho since we havent gotten a moment like this again since forever, not to mention Wano gave us 2 trans characters (Kiku and Yamato)
@@namelssssnake9466 he’s sexually attracted to sis women… that’s not a bad thing or transphobic. That’s how anybody would react after not seeing somebody they’re attracted to for 2 years . Also the okamas are badass in the show and they teach sanjibto fight. Also he ran because they tried to dress him up as a woman and take advantage of him.
@@justinlapicola8505 they didn't say it was explicitly transphobix just that the ideas and events were engrained in it
@@namelssssnake9466 dude like he's into what he's into, it makes sense that Sanji would react like that.
Being too badass is probably the most badass thing ever
Usopp having plant powers is not that random. It's a throwback to Noland being a botanist
Never noticed that!
What? did i miss something? did Usop relate to Norland?
@@kuteken6312 they are not directly related, but they are similar in a lot of instances. Was known as a liar, regarded greatly by the Tontattas, their supposed lies do came to reality
I love the theory that Usopp is descended from Noland, because all his lies come true and he lied about being Noland's descendent to the Tontatta. It's my personal headcanon lmao
broo wtf i did not know that! the small relations oda makes always amazes me
It pains me to see Robin so low but you’re right
I still have faith in her because in the long run she's one of the most important SHs narrative-wise. Yes she's been very neglected combat-wise but that's because a very OP fruit was introduced really early and she could beat most non-Logia opponents in anti-climatic ways if she was utilized properly. She is still really strong as she proved when she neutralized Hakuba, a pirate captain, without even breaking a sweat.
I love robin to death but geez she's been so bland after the time skip :(( hope oda does her justice in the future
AirKat, I’m pretty certain that Nico Robin’s Awakening Devil Fruit powers won’t be fully awakened until either the events of Elbaf or on Laugh Tale, and then she’ll be as strong or equal to either Gear 4 Luffy or Gear 5 Awakened Luffy since the only training that Nico Robin got during the 2 year timeskip was the Revolutionary Army, and she hasn’t fought as strong opponents as Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji has.
She is doing stuff in wano, all ima say
@LameDoodler wouldnt care about your opinion about his opinion either since you cant respect other people's opinions apparently
"especially considering, in my headcanon, he's gay for zoro" cRYING OMG
Same tho 🤣
when he said that I screamed cause that's my headcanon too
honestly, same tho
Luffy is easily my favorite Straw Hat. A bit of an underdog pick when you look at characters like Zoro and Jinbe in the crew, but honestly I've always loved the fact that he's so simple. He doesn't need 100 different multi branching backstories to be a character that holds his morals and beliefs in high regard, and he especially was solidified for me in Dressrosa when he held firm that he is a character that legitimately doesn't care about his own plot. He is literally only on the sea to be free and the One Piece is a catalyst to that freedom. Such a lovable personality and when he gets serious... ITS SO FUCKING COOL especially VS the types of people he hates the most.
yass!!
Same.
Luffy is hilarious and his serious moments are so badass and somehow it’s not completely out of character. And with how cool of a person luffy is you honestly just can’t help but root for the guy
When Sugar hit Robin with her power, Usopp's memories of her were erased, and thus ALL the memories and character development from Enies Lobby. So for all intensive purposes it WAS early Usopp for that moment which is why he was so wack in that instance
THANK YOU. I was just about to type this
*intents and
Yeah that’s a very good point
Yes thank you, I'm praying for more ussop in current one piece lmao I love his character
Thank god! I thought usopp was one of the coolest straw hats after the timeskip. Im happy that my opinion didnt change.
Luffy for half of the series: we need a musician
Prozd: brook is not needed that much
He's a musician man 😂😂
Didn't he said that he want a musician at the early episodes?
@@Rift_Harold Yes
@@Rift_Harold, Thriller Bark is still apart of the Pre-Timeskip Era, and the Sabody Arc is both in the Pre-Timeskip Era and Post-Timeskip Era, so yes Brook has always been a Strawhat Pirate since the very beginning of the series.
He plays some bangers too
@@Rift_Harold a musician was the first and probably only crew mate that Luffy specifically wanted. There are theories that Brook will be important in the end game and Bink's Sake has something to do with Laughtale and Joy Boy
On the Usopp thing, remember that Sugar had turned Robin into a toy at that point. Part of sugars power is that everyone forgets everything they know relating to the toy person. A huge part of Usopps Strength came from ennies lobby, and it's incredibly hard to divorce that from Nico Robin. So when Usopp forgot Robin, he also lost that crucial development. I think it was a very hard thing to see, but that's the logic that made me see that chapter in a new light entirely
Love this video, and love your explanations behind each character's rank.

I think people didn't really get why Usopp left the Tontattas in Dressrosa, and it's actually one of his best moments imo (And I'm not even gonna mention the whole "Usopp forgot Robin & his development" everyone else is already mentioning)
Usopp's entire arc in Dressrosa was about being a hero: He says he's Noland's descendant just so the Tontattas help them destroy Doffy's factory. In all of his previous fights, Usopp always fought for something or someone he cared about (Syrup Village, Luffy & Vivi, his friends, etc) but in Dresrossa, the Tontattas were complete strangers. He didn't have an emotional bond with them to justify fighting against 2 powerful devil fruit users that would sweep the floor with him (He had already forgotten Robin because of Sugar's power at this point) so it completely makes sense for him to escape. He knew he didn't stand a chance against Sugar and Trebol, so he thought escaping was the best course of action.
But here's the part I see nobody in the comments mentioning: *Usopp did come back!* Yeah, it was after the Tontattas asked him to, but he came back. And he didn't really have a reason to do it. Usopp was never a hero...until that point. A hero is someone who fights for people they don't know, despite their odds in battle, despite how scared they are. Usopp begrudgingly came back to save the Tontattas even tho he knew he was going to lose against Trebol & Sugar. And even if he did lose against them, he still managed to knock Sugar out, gain a lot of followers with the whole "God Usopp" thing and even acquired Observation Haki in a brave attempt to save Luffy & Law. Yeah, Usopp made a huge mistake by escaping and leaving the Tontattas behind, but he rectified that mistake and thus, his character grew a lot.
I understand ProZD and many other fans read One Piece weekly, so they most likely spent an entire week thinking Usopp escaped and left the Tontattas behind, but he did come back and had a big character growth in the rest of the Dressrosa. And even with this development, he's still going to lie & run away in the future. That's how Usopp is. What's important is that he doesn't leave anybody behind when they need him.
overall I completely agree with you. But there's actually one point of minor disagreement, if you don't mind me saying.
A hero is someone who shares meat with others. I know this because the man who will become king of the pirates said so!!
Holy shit u wrote an essay dude
@@ltrain7715 of course. I'm not gonna let Usopp libel go around like that.
Ur wrong man a hero is someone who shares his meat.
Beyond that I loved your analysis and Go D. Ussop is my favorite strawhat. I mean he is friends with Sogeking what more do you need 😂😂😂
Zoro was dropping for me for the longest time, but the moment he meets with Luffy again in Wano, he's just... SO... HAPPY. FINALLY he gets to be part of the goofy cast again in more ways than just getting lost or angry. Finally it feels again like he actually wants to be here.
Drinking game :
drink everytime he touches his hair or shakes his head
I miss a lot of the character quirks and interactions pre-timeskip One Piece had. It feels like a lot of the characters have been reduced to being one gag when it comes to stuff like comedy and how they interact with others. Sanji is a pervert, Brook makes skeleton jokes, Zoro gets lost, Usopp gets scared, etc etc etc. Plus I miss a lot of the intercrew dynamic the Straw Hats had. Post timeskip feels like they never get to have those small personal moments that pre timeskip has.
Well most of the time they've been separated from each other. Or are too busy during the arc for those small interactions we get to happen.
I mean they haven't been together for years in real time. Now that all ten of them are together in Wano act 3 the great interactions and attack combos are back
100% agree with this and it just makes me sad. I don’t wanna be all like Pre time skip op was better. But I’m kinda like that lmao. Maybe I just need to rewatch everything since its been a few months since I’ve watched One Piece
Pre timeskip was focused on the crew. Now it's more about actually finding the One Piece lol
Agree, but you know its new world.. its much tougher than pre time skip
THIS MAN OPENLY ADMITS HE SHIPS SANJI AND ZORO AND ROBIN AND FRANKY. WHAT A KIIIING. 😳
You are the Enemy Of Sanji and Zoro Fandoms
RIGHTT

Luffy is goofy and does everything on a whim but he does get serious when he needs to even before Ace died ,he never turned his back to people who needed his help ,hell he wouldn't even ask them whether they needed his help or not he would just help them , I've always loved him for that ,he was always there for his crewmates and was their savior ,I loved how he punched the shit out of that fking St Charlos or whatever his name was during Camie's auction .
Imo he gets serious when he needs to .The only difference I see is that One Piece has not been as humourus as it used to be (not dissing) so Luffy as well as others appear more serious now , remember how Zoro used to laugh and was goofy ? Yeah I miss that laughter but I don't mind I love my One Piece ❤️

PS: used he with an asterisk for Ivankov because his* gender is quite ambiguous and he* changes sexes often, so used masculine as he* was male at the moment.
Sungwon was too harsh on Sanji. He isn't afraid of gay people, he was afraid of the okamas turning him into one as well. They were literally forcing him into dresses and telling him that he's a woman, which he's not.
If anything, Sanji is extremely respectful, even refusing to use his full power on them because he admits that they have the hearts of maidens and even using the pronoun she/her on the substitute queen.

Me, clutching my Brook figure in front of my Brook bounty poster: STOP IT!! YOU’RE BREAKING MY HEART!!
not that you have a heart, yohohoho....
The great thing about One Piece is that it’s really difficult to rank the Strawhats. They’re all great characters, and even if there are shortcomings or little screentime for some of them, they are still a very important part of the crew, as Oda constantly reminds us.
Brook, who is at the bottom of this list, was the WCI MvP, saved the SH’s asses against Giolla in Dressrosa, saved their asses in Fishman Island and is doing a great job in Wano.
Even with all of these characters, One Piece still manages to make them relatable or to give them time to shine and develop.
Agree one hundred percent, odas a real genius with how he shows that in the end every strawhat is important to the crew and part of the family
Username checks out.
That’s true i don’t think any one piece fans genuinely hates any of the straw hats because they all have something going for them, but it’s definitely true that some are better than others lol.
I like brook, his backstory is fucking horrid. He had to watch as his friends die and then stay on a ship with his friends corpses for 50 years. Even without a ton of description that’s still a date worse than death
The inhabitants on Okama island aren't gay, they're men that choose to express themselves in feminine ways. They tried to put Sanji in a dress because the people that go to the island go there to be accepted by who they really are.
“I would love to see him in more silly situations, more moments with the crew”
That is true
Zoro's eye is either one of the following:
Design change by oda
Scar of training
He will open in the next time he will face mihawk
I could totally see that last one. As a penance for having to humble himself to his greatest enemy, and as a punishment for his 'loss' on saboady, he refuses to use that one eye (a real handicap for a warrior) until the time of their fated duel!
Kye Guard ikr!
Imagine the greatness he accomplishes in the manga rn in wano, and that then will be only by the half the coordination he can pull of with just one eye.
Then with the ultimate standoff when mihawk in the later parts of the story, zoro has grown with only one eye, and then uses both eyes... Oh boy
he is guts from berserk now. thats it
Honestly I don’t think zoro will fight the man who he begged to train him it’s simply not who he is. Instead I feel like his last fight will be shiriyu of the rain just bc he’s the sword man for the Blackbeard pirates
Philip Silva his goal is to become the greatest swordsman, and by the most logical means, he needs to defeat the current one to prove that he is better.
It will not be a clash of idiology, hate or conflict. It will be a clash of respect and promises.
Since you emphasized Zoros loyalty: Ive seen it argued that had he not met Luffy he eventually would have become a captain in his own right. Him fully embracing his role as number 2 and never resenting it is an integral part of his character. To him more than the others its an active choice to keep following Luffy and its a choice he makes each day with great enthusiasm.
I dont really see zoro as the leader archetype he's more like mihawk in a sense lone wolf kina guy
@@mynamedontmatter4796 Yeah but every second arc someone mentions how zoro would be a captain in his own right, were it not for how special luffy must be
Except Zoro isnt actually all that loyal. He had mentioned multiple times that he might leave. In water 7 he outright says, do X or I leave. In Fishman Island he mentions that he has a standard of strength he expects of Luffy and not meeting that threshold means he wont follow him.
This fantasy version of Zoro so loyal is so weird to me. He is literally the only strawhat that might walk off anytime.
@@shihoblade when you say do x or I leave I’m assuming your talking about how he said he would leave if luffy went to go get ussop. He said this to keep luffy in line. Even sanji agreed with him. And the fish man thing i feel like he said it as a way of being impressed
you do the best reviews man

@@lalboimanlun1230 be patient? Its been 10 years since the timeskip. 400 chapters. Its too late to redeem that.
she's too op, realistically she could clutch like 95% of all enemies and it probably makes it difficult to give her screen time
Personally for me Luffy is by far my favorite straw-hat and my favorite anime character of all time. I like how he can be so goofy and such a funny guy, especially when it's time for a banquet. When he gets all serious especially against someone he has actual hatred for, he becomes such a badass. I like how Oda kept a combination between silly, stupid, serious and super strong. I also like how he never gets scared and always cares for his friends (especially crewmates), his caring heart makes me wanna hug him. Luffy will forever be my favorite anime character.
Loved this list, especially your thoughts behind Usopp and Sanji
Brook literally MVP of every arc he’s been in. If it weren’t for him in thriller bark they wouldn’t have known about the salt and don’t even get me started on whole cake island... definitely top 3.
Not top 3 for me
@dadolf if not for brook in fishman island then, zoro, him and usopp would have all died, it is also partially his fault that they where in that situation in the first place.
Only in Thriller Bark and Whole Cake
It is his opinion
@@pickleanimation5374 So what?
Let them argue if they like.
"Let's rank the strawhats"
Are you trying to start a war?
First blood
lol
Everyone in the comments talking about this straw hat being a hero or that one. Um, excuse you all.
Do you know what a hero actually is?
A hero is someone who shares meat with others. (As in distributes it to others rather than holding a feast like a pirate.)
Name a time any straw hat gave meat away to an outsider....I thought not :P
Usopp was honestly my favorite character from dressrosa, and his scene where he unlocked his haki was super hype for me. I felt like dressrosa was the best thing for his character since sogeking
I was thinking the same thing, not to mention the go d. usopp jokes
I do feel like that haki moment redeemed him a bit but it was frustrating and disappointing seeing how he was given such little character development, even after the time skip. He does some amazing things but it's usually cleaning up after his own mistakes and they're brief, limited moments.
