Loud jokey coward character remains loud jokey and a coward until the end sees little development, is Usopp a PK level Sniper now? Wano he was underwhelming and forgettable in Egghead, let's put some caution in Elbaf being his arc
Money. Why do you think during every chapter review he promotes- "a new video coming next week so stay tuned." He didn't use to do that in the past. It really make me wonder how some of these channels on RUclips can revolve around one singular piece of media. One Piece is great, but how many videos can you make before it gets repetitive. The lore instead that damn deep and detailed it can sustain 20 years of videos. I've seen people doing this with Star Wars, Avatar, Bleach, Naruto. Being passionate and making cool theories about something you love is great, but when that passion turns into an obsession... you get nonsensical videos, misleading thumbnails and click bait titles. They're not beating a dead horse. They keep trying to reviving it, so they can beat to death some more. Money becomes the main goal, instead of quality content. If your wallet is financial drained, go get a day job like everybody else whose working on their dream. Go move back in with your parents and go to college for a degree you can actually use. Make some coin, save it, invest it, save some more, and then get back to work. It's easier said than done, but at least you're moving five steps forward instead of ten steps back.
Expectations: Usopp Arc, Lets GO! Reality: Usopp spends most of the arc in the background being comic relief and making funny comments, gets 1 or 2 chapters in the spotlight and maybe a 1 page speech in the middle of the arc's climax
Nah, he at least needs to be able to control his observation haki. It was teased in Dressrosa, and he's lined up to fight Van Auger, and he will need future prediction to counter his warp warp fruit
@@loladas9literally, at the least we are getting an upgraded usopp very soon. Idc if it’s even just better observation haki, or maybe even a different type of haki, would most love him getting conquerors haki ofc because it was foreshadowed but we will see. Always wished he could level up even more somehow maybe even a devil fruit 👀 let’s just pray. At the least usopp will get an upgraded weapon 😈
Nah, Oda didn't highlight Ussop in the last chapter while standing ontop of Dorrys hand for nothing nor to spend the whole series being scared just to not achieve his dream of becoming a great warrior of the sea
@@octavioouvrard4767 because that was a fan idea and never foreshadowed in the story. Sanji's spotlight was setup for a long time, and so is Usopp's. Franky needs no real further development
Fr, People had huge expectations for Franky on Egghead, but it was never met, I don't think Elbaf will be like that and it will actually hopefully give Usopp his chance to shine
@@FieFla that's why i said like 5 chapters because we have so many characters and lores which are more important than Usopp, Elbaf will be not Usopp centric arc but he'll get some great moments.
You can buy Usopp stock on the prediction market manifold if you are not just memeing. "h ttps://manifold.markets/memestiny/usopp-stock?r=QXhlbEFobHF2aXN0"
I really don't get why Morj insists that the Red hair pirates are still in Elbaf when Shanks literally said he was about to leave before one-shotting Kid.
Yeah. The purpose of showing Shanks on Elbaf was not to tease a confrontation between him and the Straw Hats in the next arc; I saw it as Oda indicating that Luffy is getting closer and closer to Shanks by showing Shanks at the very next place the Straw Hats will arrive. Instead of Shanks being a hundred steps ahead of Luffy, geographically speaking, he's now only one to a couple steps away.
@@dynamicglider4550That and we'll probably learn more about Shanks in Elbalf. I could see us getting a flashback similar to the Ace flashback in Wano. I mean we need more info on Shanks before the meet. It's not like Luffy is ever going to sit down and interview the guy. And learning about it after their encounter would be weird.
@@Yodah97 i don't know if luffy will ever meet shanks again, i have this weird feeling that luffy will get so close to meet him again but he won't be able to, and by consequence he will never return the strawhat
I've never said this before but Usopp is one of my favorite characters. If he doesn't get some kind of significant storyline in Elbaf, it's going to make the story of One Piece substantially worse for me... Please Oda, I'm literally begging you. Don't drop the ball on this one 🙏🙏🙏
Why is u never saying it supposed to mean anything?? Who cares what u want🤦🏾♂️😂😂 Usopp is a badly written character,Oda said it himself..u write yourself in a corner by making somebody a liar and a coward! There's only so many redeemable qualities and actions they can display without u completely undoing their entire backstory! He was a gag character and the public made memes about him being the strongest..hes not your favorite character and if he is its cause he's relatable and your a bad person🤷🏾♂️😂 yall let memes dictate your worldview and this is why I HATE sharing shit I grew up on with this new generation you're all dumasses bruh
Is it just coincidence that since Little Garden, every arc that has a significant moment for Usopp also has a giant in it? Water 7/Enis Lobby - Oimo and Kashii, Thriller Bark - Oars, Dressrosa - Hajrudin. Is it also true that giants are in the majority of OP arcs after Little Garden? Yea, but my point still stands lol
Usopp disagrees that the Samurai tradition is the best thing ever. Personally, I think he is just annoyed by the fact the samurai want to just die there and not let him help them. Luffy has the same logic, in Enieslobby he says to Robin "If you want to die just let me save you first then die later". Surprisingly, you can see a lot of usopp in Izo. After this quote Izo agree with what Usopp say because he has been outside Wano and is not really a round traditional samurai like he use to be. However, he chooses to die and sacrifice himself in the end. The meaning of these scene is'' to keep surviving until you have a reason to die, don't pointlessly dying"
I'm confident that this is what Oda wanted to show us. If Usopp unlocks Conqueror's haki, it will probably be due to him no longer being afraid of death
yep, i don't undestand those who criticize him for telling to nami to lie to ulti, like wtf he had no ways to save her, he tried the only path they apparently had, luffy and any of the strawhats would have complimented them if it worked (assuming ulti wasn't going to kill her anyways), luffy would not tolerate nami dying just to exalt his own name, she did it anyways and its a great moment as she showed pride and her loyalty, but it was a desition of her own to do that, most ppl does not understand that and shit talks usopp
Im so genuinely confused why i see so many people assuming Shanks and his crew will be on Elbaf. They were leaving when we last saw them, they almost certainly imo will not be there during the arc
Yassop might hang behind for some reason or another, but then again, he may not. That's about the only exception I could see. There is otherwise no reason for them to still be on Elbaf.
@@RutabegaNGelbaf is their territory they likely know luffy is coming there next shanks said he’s gonna meet luffy when he becomes a great pirate where else in the story are they gonna have a reunion
@@Benji30 I feel like most of those arcs and islands won’t have the down time to let that moment breathe because they’ll be heavy action without it kinda overtaking luffy and shanks reunion
I hate the hate for Usopp's character, but I also understand it. If I can relate to any of the Strawhats it's Usopp, which makes me feel uncomfortable. People criticize that Usopp backslides a lot along the journey but that is the biggest reason he's the most human of all the Strawhats. None of us grow at a steady ascent, we stumble often and sometimes have great falls. Usopp has more ups and downs than most characters and that makes his journey more relatable.
People who hate Usopp are just delusional self inserting power scaler. In the real world, people hardly ever change and always tend to fall back into old habits. This makes Usopp so interesting compared to most other shonen characters.
@@JamariBinns-f7q his character is just not my type of anime trope. Constantly running and crying. Weak. Not a strategist. It’s okay if it cool for some he’s just not for me
I really hope that Elbalf can deliver. I’m a huge fan of Norse mythology and one of Oda’s biggest influences for One Piece was Vicky the Viking which coincidentally also inspired Vinland Saga Mangaka, Makoto Yukimura.
I think you misunderstand both Usopp telling Nami to lie and Usopp's speech about clinging to life. Starting with what he told Nami, it's clear he said that because he didn't want Nami to die. While Usopp would (and already has) been willing to die to defend the dreams of his captain, he's not going to force Nami to live by those same standards. The entire crew already believes Luffy will be King of the Pirates, there was no need for Nami to risk her life other than pride. That's what makes Nami's moment so beautiful because it shows how much pride she has in her captain's dream, just like when Usopp did the same in Alabasta. In regards to Usopp's speech about clingling to life, in a vacuum it does come off as cowardly, but in the context of the scene itself and the broader themes of the Wano arc, it's about not giving up in the face of death instead of fearing it. The reason Usopp told Kin & Kiku to live was because they had a death wish and had essentially given up on life for the sake of it. Since they failed to save Oden, the Scabbards all resolved to die honorable deaths as a way to repent for their blunder, which goes against Oden's entire reason for saving them in the first place: to live. This is an example of something that's been reiterated in the story time and time again: that throwing your life away for the sake of honor and not anything substantial like your dreams is foolish. It's just like when Luffy stopped Sanji from sacrificing himself to repay his debt to Zeff. Interestingly, Usopp's speech seemingly parallels when Luffy told Brogy not to go duel Dorry after he got sabotaged by Mr. 3. Despite Luffy's warnings, Brogy chose to go into battle for the sake of his honor and nearly died because of this. Pretty interesting that Usopp wasn't there to see this. These two scenes don't indicate that Usopp is meant to conquer his fear of death, but it seems much more likely that they indicate that Usopp will challenge the nature of honor in both giant society and the pirating world. Since much of what Usopp believes to be brave is based on these principles, it could help change his perspective of what bravery is and help him understand his own bravery.
I'm not sure Luffy has much time left after he finds the OP with 2 Hormone Injections (-20 years) G2 blood pumping and the other gears above 2 will have taken their toll on his body could mirror Rogers end
I do. One Piece has always been criticize for its lack of character deaths but when they do it, they hit. Usopp dying to protect the crew will literally elevate the series.
@@DHworldwide185 I want the Strawhat that does to be Brook. It would be like him joining his old crew when he felt like he left them behind by surviving due to his DF. Usopp needs to return to Kaya and tell her stories that actually happened, that she won’t believe.
I agree. It doesn’t make sense for Usopp to die as he simply isn’t cut out for it. Him coming full circle and realizing that what he has done so far without acknowledgement from the giants already makes him a warrior (or alternatively that he is fine not being a true warrior) and being content with that would be much more cathartic
@@DHworldwide185 I don't think he will tho he doesn't have to die to prove himself as a great warrior of the sea. And it's quite the opposite the deaths dont't really hit either when Oda tries to get rid of some characters such as Izo and the pink dude which no one really paid any attention to. Oda also likes to keep the characters alive cus he wants the arcs to finish of on a happy end. The only one that hit was Ace and whitebeards the others have been dissapointing
This is completely different tho since usopp and elbaf have specifically been highlighted together for 20+ years and elbaf is tied to usopps dream. It’s the same thing with WCI and sanji being built up and sanji got shine there.
@@Oreocakesters123 my point is control your expectations, with elbaf being Nika related and with how oda is hammering all of this Nika stuff lately , don't be surprised if it's the main focus of the arc
@@cvox607 You know what bothers me the most? The arc can have a major development for Usopp, but maybe not as well. But people are starting to create gigantic expectations like Morj saying "it will be one of the greatest character arcs ever". Then, if it does NOT happen, people will blame Oda, and then proceed to say those who defend him are "Oda's dickriders" and that "we accept everything Oda does". I understand the hype, it's not like Oda DID NOT set this up, but just like you said, people need do learn to control their expectations. Most of the time, at least imo, people get mad at Oda because he did not made something the FANDOM WANTED.
@@cvox607 seems like you dislike nika huh. Whatever you think about it there is a 99% chance usopp shines because it is his dream. So don't be shy and make your expectations high.
I think Usopp dying in Elbaf would be perfect for his character on sooooo many levels as long as he smiles saying he's finally a brave warrior of the sea.
I think him returning to his girl is incredible important to completing his character arc. I feel like after one piece ends, it would be awesome for him to reunite with her, as an actual brave warrior of the sea, where all his stories are actually true.
I've waited 14-15 years for this Arc. Unlike Zoro or Franky, none of them ever declared the recent islands as the land of their dreams. This is honestly make or break for me when it comes to One Piece and I believe with all my being that, Oda will do us JUSTICE!
@@Leonkennedy19992 A and B plots are essential for stories especially one piece. In new world arcs we tend to get a cast of new characters, lore and multiple plots Usopp will likely have one along with luffy with nika but more importantly joyboy. Also Usopp and elbalf have been hyped up since little garden it would be a extremely stupid writing choice not to act on that hype. It's clear usopp will be a focus as he's ahead of luffy in the panel declaring their excitement to go to Elbalf
@@Leonkennedy19992 Overuse of G5 free of a cost thus far, Luffy DID die - Chopper found nothing suspicious after Wano now Egghead? Zoro's twice the pain later also seems to have been forgotten about
Morj, if you watch this video paying close attention to the things you're saying, you'll have the funny surprise that you are actually contradicting yourself 🤓 If we think about Usopp having to face the root of his failures and why his fantasy of a brave warrior is not exactly a good one, the logic step would be for him to have the strength to accept himself the way he is, not giving in to that "omagaaa I need to be fearless in the face of death to be a man"
ONE PIECE has so many great characters. Usopp is still my favorite. He is by far the most relatable. His fears, his insecurities, his actions and physical attributes
Great vid Morj. I will say I disagree with characterizing Usopp in Wano as a “bad look” or a “low point”. Usopp was used to counter the arguably toxic and nigh-suicidal mentality of the samurai. He’s willing to risk his life for his friends, but he still finds his life precious! Unlike the samurai, he fights to LIVE, not die. And keep in mind that he gives his speech after he sought the two of them out, came to their rescue, and was fighting off a mob to help comrades who both insisted on laying down and dying “honorably”. It’s easy to miss because Oda drew very little attention to it, but that was one of the bravest acts we’ve seen Usopp perform in the series. And even on panel that moment is framed as Usopp having made a strong point. Ultimately, Kiku and Kinemon survived the raid because Usopp valued all 3 of their lives. Usopp is afraid of death but that’s not a bad thing! It’s the very thing that makes him brave! Usopp’s fear of death is something that distinguishes him, but I don’t think it’s something that he needs to overcome per se. I think Usopp will come to terms with fearing death as long as he doesn’t let it deter him, which would be completely in line with his statements in Wano. His real problem, as you hinted at in your video, is his confidence. I think Elbaf will be more about Usopp’s self-actualization and his realization that he really has been enough the whole time. His version of a brave warrior may be different than Luffy or Zoro or an Elbaf giant, but will be a brave warrior nonetheless.
@@aleccampbell7707 I agree. I just don’t think that advancement has to be that he becomes a different person. I think Morj is right that Usopp is ripe for a haki bloom, but for different character reasons.
@@JamariBinns-f7q Its actually crazy how people are more upset about the AI than about how cringe it was and weird, specially for Morj's channel. It being AI or not doesn't matter lmao
NGL I respect the hustle but as someone who struggles to listen to podcasts and started listening to your videos because of your deep cuts and analytical takes, hearing you put some of those behind a paywall doesn't feel great. Whatever you hold back seems to not be super important to the point you're making so "its fine" but idk you've been dropping more lines like that in other videos and feels a bit manipulative. All good though, excited for your upcoming arc analysis. ✌
Usopp getting Conquerors is something many of us figured would happen. If he gets a shanks comparison when he unleashes it prepare for the online wars😂
As the literature legend Charles Dickens once said - “Great Expectations if misplaced can often lead to Great Disappointment” People thought the same for Zoro in Wano and Franky in Egghead- if your a StrawHat and your name’s not Luffy or Sanji then your character peaked pre-timeskip.
I don't think you really understand this my friend. Zoro in wano was indeed disappointing, tbh I didn't care much if franky got upgrades or something and didn't have any expectations. Now. There is a huge difference between usopp in elbaf and the other two cases. That is that elbaf IS where he will achieve his dream. Oda wouldn't fumble none of the SH dreams cause he has that planned since the beggining. If usopp didn't shine it would be the same as luffy not achieving whatever dream he has. Or zoro not fighting mihawk. If we indeed do not get any big usopp stuff in elbaf then oda just fumbled the entire series. I will trust him
This isn’t true. Tons of character moments have come after timeskip that’s a myth. But I think One Piece fans fail to understand these are largely static characters, with pretty only slightly round arcs. Characters aren’t supposed to grow drastically for the entirety of the story. At some point they become the people they will be until the end. I’ve only heard this stuff claimed for One Piece. None of the SHs are the exact people they were when we met them. Most of the biggest change has happened already. And Franky did get a lot moments in Egghead, it just was never his arc. His connection to Vegapunk is only passive.
Oda sensei has given spotlight to different straw hats in different arcs but yeah recently except the monster trio and robin, no one has got proper spotlight. So I hope Usopp, Chopper, Nami get spotlight in future
Usopp meeting his father will change him in a major way. All this "brave warrior of the sea" exists because of his father. Meeting his father will definitely bring some kind of deep trauma in Usopp.
I’m keen for Elbaf but also not getting my hopes up giving Wano was one of the arcs I was looking forward to the most and it fell short in so many ways.
Honestly that’s what makes Usopp one of the greatest characters ever written. Like you said in the intro it’s not what we as watchers / readers think, or what other characters think of him; the accomplishment of his dream comes down to if he thinks he did it or not. And that in of itself adds a whole other level to his character that is very rare to see anywhere else. Amazing analysis brother 🫡
Usopp dying and Brook awakening the Revive-Revive fruit, in order to sacrifice himself to resurrect Usopp would be amazing. Since Brook already had a prior Pirate life to begin with.
Blackbeard being responsible for killing Luffy's brother Ace AND his best friend Usopp would make Luffy vs Blackbeard the most personal fight of the story!
If you think of the adv. conquerors haki we've seen so far as conquerors + armament, it would be cool if Usopp was the first straw hat to get conquerors + observation.
I don’t know about you guys, but the first Usopp scene I watched was on Arlong Park, with Luffy saying he had a swordsman, a cook, a navigator and a liar. Seeing him cowering up and winning his cowardice, even in a cowardly way, set him as my favorite character from the get-go. So yes, he already have achieved his goal, even before entering the Grand Line
Ussop wants to be a brave warrior because he wants fear and insecurity to disapear. He doens´t know that the brave are the ones who fear, but do the things. He is already brave. If his fear disappears, he is no longer brave, he would just be suicidal.
One of the most fitting conclusion for Usopp's story arc, based on everything we saw in One Piece, is to die on a fight with a smile on his face to help someone else. It's the sign of a great resolve even for those who aren't D. (Oden, Hiluluk), it overcomes his biggest fear and it's the best death a nordic warrior can have. Doesn't need to be in Elbaf, can be close to the end of the story.
Two things Oda has to show us. 1) Usopp outperforming Yasopp in sniping, and 2) Observation haki sniping Van auger every location he teleports to, instantly getting smacked in the face with a snipe.
Oda generally doesn’t write arcs typically where 1 guy is simple the focus of the entire thing. This happened basically in Enies Lobby, Whole Cake Island and Arlong Park explicit, where largely it focused on the rescue of these specific characters and expanded heavily on their backstories and the like. I do think Usopp will feature heavily in Elbaf, as Oda has already had him speak to Dorry and Broggy, and has actually set this up for Usopp years in the making. But I think fans are preparing for letdowns with HCs like the arc will only revolve around him. This is a very large story, that’s unlikely to happen.
2022: Egghead will be the Franky arc, finally his big moment for character growth 2024: Elbaf will be the Usopp arc, finally his big moment for character growth
You know what bothers me the most? The arc can have a major development for Usopp, but maybe not as well. But people are starting to create gigantic expectations like Morj saying "it will be one of the greatest character arcs ever". Then, if it does NOT happen, people will blame Oda, and then proceed to say those who defend him are "Oda's dickriders" and that "we accept everything Oda does". I understand the hype, it's not like Oda DID NOT set this up, but people need to learn to control their expectations. Most of the time, at least imo, people get mad at Oda because he did not made something the FANDOM WANTED.
What makes one piece great for me is videos like this and all other supplementary media that is produced. If oda delivers on these or not is not known today, but i can visualize everything Morj said in this video and I am buzzing with anticipation as to how story will unfold
I'm curious if Saul is going to influence Ussops story line at all. He's a giant on elbaf who originally stated that he thinks the giants of elbaf act barbaric, I wonder if his perspective will influence Ussop at all
I commented this on another video but I feel that Usopp is gonna have a “David and Goliath” type of arc in Elbaf and hopefully get that Observation Haki that was teased back in Dressrosa.
Usopp is the most real strawhat by design and that even reflects in his dream, he doesn't desire wealth, fame or power but simply to consider himself a brave warrior of the sea his journey is more of self discovery and confronting his own internal struggles being that he views himself as weak and part of the weakling trio. A confident usopp is what it will take for him to control his observation haki and a confident usopp will be crazy strong. The reason luffy is so strong is because when confronted with fear he doesn't buckle but instead chooses to face it head on and bring the dawn, very similar to zoro as well doesn't matter how beat up he is, he'll fight till he's dead if he has to and always strives to be stronger and puts in the effort
@jackfloc33 I don't know if we're reading the same manga or not but as far as i know Usopp has been useless for the past four arcs(Zou, WCI, Wano, Egghead) do you know how many years ago Dressrosa was? In 350+ chapters Usopp hasn't accomplished anything. And he is supposed to be one of the "main characters"
@setemiliguanas you're kidding, right?! On top of being weak and not defeating anyone, he hasn't even had character development in the past 4 arcs. That's the problem, not his "power"
@@endofline2000 Usopp can deal with the fodder pretty well but is lacking for being the third crewmember and hasn't done much since Dressrosa 100% agreed- Robin had a joyous moment in Egghead with news of Saul, Nika overshadowing Luffy the rest had small moments in Egghead
14:50 I wouldn't be surprised if this situation comes to pass but only from Usopp's perspective. While someone else comes to "save him," reminding him that luffy isn't going to be king without him.
I hope we get a deeper dive into Usopp's psychology, especially his abandonment by his dad. He has experienced the loyalty of his found family, I feel like his perspective of Yasopp will be different compared to pre-timeskip. Seeing Yasopp's anxiety about meeting his son, and how meeting Luffy is bigger on the Red Haired Crews' is more central than one of their top commanders and his son, gets me thinking that Usopp is gonna see a different kind of cowardice when he meets his father again.
I swear half the ppl here don't even like one piece... No, criticism is allowed, and I have some myself for Egghead, but there's a fine line between criticism and "loda fails again" people don't seem to get. If the only dopamine you seem to get is from predicting oda will "fail" you again, and honestly think he's not good at telling the story anymore, why are you still reading/watching one piece?
Oda has failed to develop non-SHs/BB Worst Gens post-TS crews: Law Bepo Jean Bart Kidd Killer and..? NONE of the remaining Worst Gen can be PK or claim the OP, their crews simply not strong enough
THIS is what I needed to start getting hype for Elbaf!! Thank you for reminding me of the themes and writing that Oda has laid out to set up such a powerful storyline. It’s about to get emotional!
I honestly want a panel of Usopp punching Yasopp. Showing the growth of being a sniper, “bravery” for hitting a Yonkos crew, and giving that pay back for the abandonment. Plus showing how “tough” he is to his father, like the stories have made Yasopp think his son is

Money. Why do you think during every chapter review he promotes- "a new video coming next week so stay tuned." He didn't use to do that in the past. It really make me wonder how some of these channels on RUclips can revolve around one singular piece of media. One Piece is great, but how many videos can you make before it gets repetitive. The lore instead that damn deep and detailed it can sustain 20 years of videos. I've seen people doing this with Star Wars, Avatar, Bleach, Naruto. Being passionate and making cool theories about something you love is great, but when that passion turns into an obsession... you get nonsensical videos, misleading thumbnails and click bait titles.
They're not beating a dead horse. They keep trying to reviving it, so they can beat to death some more. Money becomes the main goal, instead of quality content. If your wallet is financial drained, go get a day job like everybody else whose working on their dream. Go move back in with your parents and go to college for a degree you can actually use. Make some coin, save it, invest it, save some more, and then get back to work. It's easier said than done, but at least you're moving five steps forward instead of ten steps back.

I really don't get why Morj insists that the Red hair pirates are still in Elbaf when Shanks literally said he was about to leave before one-shotting Kid.
Yeah. The purpose of showing Shanks on Elbaf was not to tease a confrontation between him and the Straw Hats in the next arc; I saw it as Oda indicating that Luffy is getting closer and closer to Shanks by showing Shanks at the very next place the Straw Hats will arrive. Instead of Shanks being a hundred steps ahead of Luffy, geographically speaking, he's now only one to a couple steps away.
@@dynamicglider4550That and we'll probably learn more about Shanks in Elbalf. I could see us getting a flashback similar to the Ace flashback in Wano.
I mean we need more info on Shanks before the meet. It's not like Luffy is ever going to sit down and interview the guy. And learning about it after their encounter would be weird.
@@Yodah97I don’t see why we wouldn’t get Shanks’ character during his arc

I've never said this before but Usopp is one of my favorite characters. If he doesn't get some kind of significant storyline in Elbaf, it's going to make the story of One Piece substantially worse for me... Please Oda, I'm literally begging you. Don't drop the ball on this one 🙏🙏🙏

Why is u never saying it supposed to mean anything?? Who cares what u want🤦🏾♂️😂😂 Usopp is a badly written character,Oda said it himself..u write yourself in a corner by making somebody a liar and a coward! There's only so many redeemable qualities and actions they can display without u completely undoing their entire backstory! He was a gag character and the public made memes about him being the strongest..hes not your favorite character and if he is its cause he's relatable and your a bad person🤷🏾♂️😂 yall let memes dictate your worldview and this is why I HATE sharing shit I grew up on with this new generation you're all dumasses bruh
Zoro in wano franky in egghead...
Is it just coincidence that since Little Garden, every arc that has a significant moment for Usopp also has a giant in it?
Water 7/Enis Lobby - Oimo and Kashii, Thriller Bark - Oars, Dressrosa - Hajrudin. Is it also true that giants are in the majority of OP arcs after Little Garden? Yea, but my point still stands lol
Alabasta didn't have any giants, but it did have Usopp's infamous speech about not backing down when someone insults a friend
Coincidence?.... I THINK NOT!

Oda is never gonna kill off a strawhat
Right bro like if Oda can’t kill Pell or Pagaya, no way in hell is he gonna kill Usopp.
Ai chat sponsor is crazy lmao
Usopp disagrees that the Samurai tradition is the best thing ever. Personally, I think he is just annoyed by the fact the samurai want to just die there and not let him help them. Luffy has the same logic, in Enieslobby he says to Robin "If you want to die just let me save you first then die later". Surprisingly, you can see a lot of usopp in Izo. After this quote Izo agree with what Usopp say because he has been outside Wano and is not really a round traditional samurai like he use to be. However, he chooses to die and sacrifice himself in the end. The meaning of these scene is'' to keep surviving until you have a reason to die, don't pointlessly dying"
I'm confident that this is what Oda wanted to show us. If Usopp unlocks Conqueror's haki, it will probably be due to him no longer being afraid of death
yep, i don't undestand those who criticize him for telling to nami to lie to ulti, like wtf he had no ways to save her, he tried the only path they apparently had, luffy and any of the strawhats would have complimented them if it worked (assuming ulti wasn't going to kill her anyways), luffy would not tolerate nami dying just to exalt his own name, she did it anyways and its a great moment as she showed pride and her loyalty, but it was a desition of her own to do that, most ppl does not understand that and shit talks usopp
Im so genuinely confused why i see so many people assuming Shanks and his crew will be on Elbaf. They were leaving when we last saw them, they almost certainly imo will not be there during the arc
Yassop might hang behind for some reason or another, but then again, he may not.
That's about the only exception I could see. There is otherwise no reason for them to still be on Elbaf.

Can't believe Morj is out here trying to rizz up ai Nami 😭
I hate the hate for Usopp's character, but I also understand it. If I can relate to any of the Strawhats it's Usopp, which makes me feel uncomfortable.
People criticize that Usopp backslides a lot along the journey but that is the biggest reason he's the most human of all the Strawhats. None of us grow at a steady ascent, we stumble often and sometimes have great falls. Usopp has more ups and downs than most characters and that makes his journey more relatable.
People who hate Usopp are just delusional self inserting power scaler.
In the real world, people hardly ever change and always tend to fall back into old habits. This makes Usopp so interesting compared to most other shonen characters.
Same with the hate the marines get I hope usoop dragon the admirals get justice

Are you stupid or something acting as if he is forcing you do so lol 🤣🤣🤣
It's a grift, I don't really care
I really hope that Elbalf can deliver. I’m a huge fan of Norse mythology and one of Oda’s biggest influences for One Piece was Vicky the Viking which coincidentally also inspired Vinland Saga Mangaka, Makoto Yukimura.
I think you misunderstand both Usopp telling Nami to lie and Usopp's speech about clinging to life.
Starting with what he told Nami, it's clear he said that because he didn't want Nami to die. While Usopp would (and already has) been willing to die to defend the dreams of his captain, he's not going to force Nami to live by those same standards. The entire crew already believes Luffy will be King of the Pirates, there was no need for Nami to risk her life other than pride. That's what makes Nami's moment so beautiful because it shows how much pride she has in her captain's dream, just like when Usopp did the same in Alabasta.
In regards to Usopp's speech about clingling to life, in a vacuum it does come off as cowardly, but in the context of the scene itself and the broader themes of the Wano arc, it's about not giving up in the face of death instead of fearing it. The reason Usopp told Kin & Kiku to live was because they had a death wish and had essentially given up on life for the sake of it. Since they failed to save Oden, the Scabbards all resolved to die honorable deaths as a way to repent for their blunder, which goes against Oden's entire reason for saving them in the first place: to live. This is an example of something that's been reiterated in the story time and time again: that throwing your life away for the sake of honor and not anything substantial like your dreams is foolish. It's just like when Luffy stopped Sanji from sacrificing himself to repay his debt to Zeff. Interestingly, Usopp's speech seemingly parallels when Luffy told Brogy not to go duel Dorry after he got sabotaged by Mr. 3. Despite Luffy's warnings, Brogy chose to go into battle for the sake of his honor and nearly died because of this. Pretty interesting that Usopp wasn't there to see this.
These two scenes don't indicate that Usopp is meant to conquer his fear of death, but it seems much more likely that they indicate that Usopp will challenge the nature of honor in both giant society and the pirating world. Since much of what Usopp believes to be brave is based on these principles, it could help change his perspective of what bravery is and help him understand his own bravery.
So well said!
Some of the most substantial Usopp points made I've seen!
I'm not sure Luffy has much time left after he finds the OP with 2 Hormone Injections (-20 years) G2 blood pumping and the other gears above 2 will have taken their toll on his body could mirror Rogers end
that ad was definitely something
I don’t want Usopp to die
Well that’s too damn bad!
I do. One Piece has always been criticize for its lack of character deaths but when they do it, they hit. Usopp dying to protect the crew will literally elevate the series.
@@DHworldwide185 I want the Strawhat that does to be Brook. It would be like him joining his old crew when he felt like he left them behind by surviving due to his DF. Usopp needs to return to Kaya and tell her stories that actually happened, that she won’t believe.
I agree. It doesn’t make sense for Usopp to die as he simply isn’t cut out for it. Him coming full circle and realizing that what he has done so far without acknowledgement from the giants already makes him a warrior (or alternatively that he is fine not being a true warrior) and being content with that would be much more cathartic
@@DHworldwide185 I don't think he will tho he doesn't have to die to prove himself as a great warrior of the sea. And it's quite the opposite the deaths dont't really hit either when Oda tries to get rid of some characters such as Izo and the pink dude which no one really paid any attention to. Oda also likes to keep the characters alive cus he wants the arcs to finish of on a happy end. The only one that hit was Ace and whitebeards the others have been dissapointing

This is completely different tho since usopp and elbaf have specifically been highlighted together for 20+ years and elbaf is tied to usopps dream. It’s the same thing with WCI and sanji being built up and sanji got shine there.
@@Oreocakesters123 my point is control your expectations, with elbaf being Nika related and with how oda is hammering all of this Nika stuff lately , don't be surprised if it's the main focus of the arc
@@cvox607 You know what bothers me the most? The arc can have a major development for Usopp, but maybe not as well. But people are starting to create gigantic expectations like Morj saying "it will be one of the greatest character arcs ever". Then, if it does NOT happen, people will blame Oda, and then proceed to say those who defend him are "Oda's dickriders" and that "we accept everything Oda does".

@@cvox607 seems like you dislike nika huh. Whatever you think about it there is a 99% chance usopp shines because it is his dream. So don't be shy and make your expectations high.
I think Usopp dying in Elbaf would be perfect for his character on sooooo many levels as long as he smiles saying he's finally a brave warrior of the sea.
I think him returning to his girl is incredible important to completing his character arc. I feel like after one piece ends, it would be awesome for him to reunite with her, as an actual brave warrior of the sea, where all his stories are actually true.
@@cheddarxdudex5310 I forgot about that, you're right
@@cheddarxdudex5310 True. Cuz she's actually waiting for him too
I've waited 14-15 years for this Arc. Unlike Zoro or Franky, none of them ever declared the recent islands as the land of their dreams. This is honestly make or break for me when it comes to One Piece and I believe with all my being that, Oda will do us JUSTICE!

Morj, if you watch this video paying close attention to the things you're saying, you'll have the funny surprise that you are actually contradicting yourself 🤓 If we think about Usopp having to face the root of his failures and why his fantasy of a brave warrior is not exactly a good one, the logic step would be for him to have the strength to accept himself the way he is, not giving in to that "omagaaa I need to be fearless in the face of death to be a man"
Exactly! I just posted a comment to similar effect.

Ain't no shot Morj spent more than 2 minutes on the sponsors site 😭 talking about hours 😭😭
ONE PIECE has so many great characters. Usopp is still my favorite. He is by far the most relatable. His fears, his insecurities, his actions and physical attributes
Oda give my boy the glow up he deserves. Future sight, conquerors, legendary hammer, an actual gun
Will be lucky to get even 1 listed - Gun would mean Usopp will be killing people is he capable of that?
Great vid Morj. I will say I disagree with characterizing Usopp in Wano as a “bad look” or a “low point”. Usopp was used to counter the arguably toxic and nigh-suicidal mentality of the samurai. He’s willing to risk his life for his friends, but he still finds his life precious! Unlike the samurai, he fights to LIVE, not die.
And keep in mind that he gives his speech after he sought the two of them out, came to their rescue, and was fighting off a mob to help comrades who both insisted on laying down and dying “honorably”. It’s easy to miss because Oda drew very little attention to it, but that was one of the bravest acts we’ve seen Usopp perform in the series. And even on panel that moment is framed as Usopp having made a strong point. Ultimately, Kiku and Kinemon survived the raid because Usopp valued all 3 of their lives. Usopp is afraid of death but that’s not a bad thing! It’s the very thing that makes him brave!
Usopp’s fear of death is something that distinguishes him, but I don’t think it’s something that he needs to overcome per se. I think Usopp will come to terms with fearing death as long as he doesn’t let it deter him, which would be completely in line with his statements in Wano. His real problem, as you hinted at in your video, is his confidence. I think Elbaf will be more about Usopp’s self-actualization and his realization that he really has been enough the whole time. His version of a brave warrior may be different than Luffy or Zoro or an Elbaf giant, but will be a brave warrior nonetheless.
Usopp seemed underpowered in Wano he needs some advancement in character or strength
@@aleccampbell7707 I agree. I just don’t think that advancement has to be that he becomes a different person.
I think Morj is right that Usopp is ripe for a haki bloom, but for different character reasons.

Ussop proving himself worthy of mjolnir is my theory
Usopp getting Conquerors is something many of us figured would happen. If he gets a shanks comparison when he unleashes it prepare for the online wars😂
That is not happening. 0% chance
As the literature legend Charles Dickens once said - “Great Expectations if misplaced can often lead to Great Disappointment”
People thought the same for Zoro in Wano and Franky in Egghead- if your a StrawHat and your name’s not Luffy or Sanji then your character peaked pre-timeskip.
Granted, here with all the build-up, the Expecations are understandable
I don't think you really understand this my friend. Zoro in wano was indeed disappointing, tbh I didn't care much if franky got upgrades or something and didn't have any expectations. Now. There is a huge difference between usopp in elbaf and the other two cases. That is that elbaf IS where he will achieve his dream. Oda wouldn't fumble none of the SH dreams cause he has that planned since the beggining. If usopp didn't shine it would be the same as luffy not achieving whatever dream he has. Or zoro not fighting mihawk. If we indeed do not get any big usopp stuff in elbaf then oda just fumbled the entire series. I will trust him
This isn’t true. Tons of character moments have come after timeskip that’s a myth. But I think One Piece fans fail to understand these are largely static characters, with pretty only slightly round arcs. Characters aren’t supposed to grow drastically for the entirety of the story. At some point they become the people they will be until the end. I’ve only heard this stuff claimed for One Piece. None of the SHs are the exact people they were when we met them. Most of the biggest change has happened already. And Franky did get a lot moments in Egghead, it just was never his arc. His connection to Vegapunk is only passive.
cornball do yall even like one piece?
“Usopp dying in Elbaf” is gonna be the new “the Raid will fail” won’t it…
Oda sensei has given spotlight to different straw hats in different arcs but yeah recently except the monster trio and robin, no one has got proper spotlight. So I hope Usopp, Chopper, Nami get spotlight in future
Usopp meeting his father will change him in a major way. All this "brave warrior of the sea" exists because of his father. Meeting his father will definitely bring some kind of deep trauma in Usopp.
I’m keen for Elbaf but also not getting my hopes up giving Wano was one of the arcs I was looking forward to the most and it fell short in so many ways.
Honestly that’s what makes Usopp one of the greatest characters ever written. Like you said in the intro it’s not what we as watchers / readers think, or what other characters think of him; the accomplishment of his dream comes down to if he thinks he did it or not. And that in of itself adds a whole other level to his character that is very rare to see anywhere else. Amazing analysis brother 🫡
Usopp dying and Brook awakening the Revive-Revive fruit, in order to sacrifice himself to resurrect Usopp would be amazing.
Since Brook already had a prior Pirate life to begin with.
I really like the script writing, and music and flow of your videos.
That is the most cursed advertizing I've seen... should be a sign.... time to get off youtube
Blackbeard being responsible for killing Luffy's brother Ace AND his best friend Usopp would make Luffy vs Blackbeard the most personal fight of the story!
If you think of the adv. conquerors haki we've seen so far as conquerors + armament, it would be cool if Usopp was the first straw hat to get conquerors + observation.
I don’t know about you guys, but the first Usopp scene I watched was on Arlong Park, with Luffy saying he had a swordsman, a cook, a navigator and a liar. Seeing him cowering up and winning his cowardice, even in a cowardly way, set him as my favorite character from the get-go. So yes, he already have achieved his goal, even before entering the Grand Line
The real vice captain

Dude, you gotta cut your videos length down. I like your theories but the repetition in your videos is hard to tolerate.
Imagine if morj had a low taper fade😢
One of the most fitting conclusion for Usopp's story arc, based on everything we saw in One Piece, is to die on a fight with a smile on his face to help someone else.
It's the sign of a great resolve even for those who aren't D. (Oden, Hiluluk), it overcomes his biggest fear and it's the best death a nordic warrior can have.
Doesn't need to be in Elbaf, can be close to the end of the story.
If Usopp dying finally opens the floodgates for severe injuries being fatal the OP cast will quickly be pared down
Two things Oda has to show us. 1) Usopp outperforming Yasopp in sniping, and 2) Observation haki sniping Van auger every location he teleports to, instantly getting smacked in the face with a snipe.
Why take this garbage ai sponsorship cmon man. You should have enough other sponsorship options
Oda generally doesn’t write arcs typically where 1 guy is simple the focus of the entire thing. This happened basically in Enies Lobby, Whole Cake Island and Arlong Park explicit, where largely it focused on the rescue of these specific characters and expanded heavily on their backstories and the like. I do think Usopp will feature heavily in Elbaf, as Oda has already had him speak to Dorry and Broggy, and has actually set this up for Usopp years in the making. But I think fans are preparing for letdowns with HCs like the arc will only revolve around him. This is a very large story, that’s unlikely to happen.
If Oda can’t kill kinemon,…. Why do we think ussop is dying
this talkie app is wild. In 5 minutes I had luffy jump into the ocean, admit he is weak, admit ace is a loser and now he's crying.
Man... Usopp will always be my favorite character, I really hope he gets written well this time
Honestly the top 1 thing I want to happen in Elbaf is a Sogeking comeback
Oda already said no strawhat will die till the last war.

You know what bothers me the most? The arc can have a major development for Usopp, but maybe not as well. But people are starting to create gigantic expectations like Morj saying "it will be one of the greatest character arcs ever". Then, if it does NOT happen, people will blame Oda, and then proceed to say those who defend him are "Oda's dickriders" and that "we accept everything Oda does".
I understand the hype, it's not like Oda DID NOT set this up, but people need to learn to control their expectations. Most of the time, at least imo, people get mad at Oda because he did not made something the FANDOM WANTED.
What makes one piece great for me is videos like this and all other supplementary media that is produced.
If oda delivers on these or not is not known today, but i can visualize everything Morj said in this video and I am buzzing with anticipation as to how story will unfold
Elbaf

great video morj but that ad read was a tough watch 💀
That ai stuff for the ad was creep af. That’s a level of detachment from reality I would rather not reach
I'm curious if Saul is going to influence Ussops story line at all. He's a giant on elbaf who originally stated that he thinks the giants of elbaf act barbaric, I wonder if his perspective will influence Ussop at all
mr morj try not to say 'fundamentally' challenge IMPOSSIBLE
The year of Usopp starts now
I think elbaf will be the arc where the crew will fully gain confidence as a yonko crew
I commented this on another video but I feel that Usopp is gonna have a “David and Goliath” type of arc in Elbaf and hopefully get that Observation Haki that was teased back in Dressrosa.
Usopp is the most real strawhat by design and that even reflects in his dream, he doesn't desire wealth, fame or power but simply to consider himself a brave warrior of the sea his journey is more of self discovery and confronting his own internal struggles being that he views himself as weak and part of the weakling trio. A confident usopp is what it will take for him to control his observation haki and a confident usopp will be crazy strong. The reason luffy is so strong is because when confronted with fear he doesn't buckle but instead chooses to face it head on and bring the dawn, very similar to zoro as well doesn't matter how beat up he is, he'll fight till he's dead if he has to and always strives to be stronger and puts in the effort
Knowing Oda, Usopp will remain a useless bum forever
When was usopp ever useless? Lmao without him the crew would die long ago
@jackfloc33
I don't know if we're reading the same manga or not but as far as i know Usopp has been useless for the past four arcs(Zou, WCI, Wano, Egghead)
do you know how many years ago Dressrosa was? In 350+ chapters Usopp hasn't accomplished anything. And he is supposed to be one of the "main characters"
@@endofline2000 one piece fans when there is a character without flashy powers and good fights:

@@endofline2000 Usopp can deal with the fodder pretty well but is lacking for being the third crewmember and hasn't done much since Dressrosa 100% agreed- Robin had a joyous moment in Egghead with news of Saul, Nika overshadowing Luffy the rest had small moments in Egghead
14:50
I wouldn't be surprised if this situation comes to pass but only from Usopp's perspective. While someone else comes to "save him," reminding him that luffy isn't going to be king without him.
If you think about it, it's not really him lying rather it's him seeing the future that is why he is saying those things. Advance observation haki
Nice vid morj, I like your point about him over coming death , this is much better writing then him dying thinking he is a true warrior
I hope we get a deeper dive into Usopp's psychology, especially his abandonment by his dad. He has experienced the loyalty of his found family, I feel like his perspective of Yasopp will be different compared to pre-timeskip.
Seeing Yasopp's anxiety about meeting his son, and how meeting Luffy is bigger on the Red Haired Crews' is more central than one of their top commanders and his son, gets me thinking that Usopp is gonna see a different kind of cowardice when he meets his father again.
The first thing Ussop will do when meeting his father is condemn him for leaving him and his mom and demand that he explain himself.
I swear half the ppl here don't even like one piece... No, criticism is allowed, and I have some myself for Egghead, but there's a fine line between criticism and "loda fails again" people don't seem to get. If the only dopamine you seem to get is from predicting oda will "fail" you again, and honestly think he's not good at telling the story anymore, why are you still reading/watching one piece?
Oda has failed to develop non-SHs/BB Worst Gens post-TS crews: Law Bepo Jean Bart Kidd Killer and..? NONE of the remaining Worst Gen can be PK or claim the OP, their crews simply not strong enough
THIS is what I needed to start getting hype for Elbaf!! Thank you for reminding me of the themes and writing that Oda has laid out to set up such a powerful storyline. It’s about to get emotional!
Oda has to follow through, Final arc could be thematically messy
If they just tell usopp he is already a brave warrior because of what hes done then he cries i'm throwing this whole manga away
Nothing annoys me more than hearing a statement followed by “ but you can get my thoughts…”
Been an Usopp believer since day 1. Cannot wait for him to have some great moments in Elbaf!
Usopps not gonna die when shanks has that role to fill.
I honestly want a panel of Usopp punching Yasopp. Showing the growth of being a sniper, “bravery” for hitting a Yonkos crew, and giving that pay back for the abandonment. Plus showing how “tough” he is to his father, like the stories have made Yasopp think his son is
Can't wait for usopp to become a giant
