One Piece General Discussion: Elbaph

not gonna lie, usopp really pissed me off during the whole sugar thing. His cowardice doesn’t usually bother me but just straight leaving people to die feels so out of character for him like we already went threw this all the way back in arlong park and it’s not like he has stuck his neck out for strangers before(saving genzo) plus Franky was literally distracting the executives so they could beat sugar so he almost screwed him over to. Overall just a terrible moment for long nose
 
No it don't. He's canonically a bitch
Usopp’s always been a bitch, yes. But one thing consistent to him is that he stepped up when his friends needed him to, in some form or another.

I would argue Usopp, at this point in his character development, shouldn't have run away. especially after being portrayed as generally braver and more confident during the early time-skip.

Bro was about to sell out Luffy to Ulti to save his own life and Nami didn't while he was bitching.

Usopp ain't never step up for nobody. He stepped up when forced to.

I haven’t gotten that far but that’s blantaly untrue. In arlong park he literally had the perfect out but decided to come back in and take out chew. Hell he literally saved genzo in the same arc when he didn’t even know him.

The Ulti moment is also something that SHOULDN'T have happened in the first place. Usopp went through a similar situation in Alabasta and flat-out starting yelling about how much he believed in Luffy's dream, despite being crippled JUST as badly.

Usopp's stepped up tons of times. Deciding to defeat Chu instead of faking his own death (Which would have worked), literally invading a government train and participating in the raid of Enies Lobby to save Robin, etc. Usopp doesn't step up when it's simply his ass on the line. He steps up because he actually, fundamentally cares about his friends. To think he's so self-serving that he only rises to the occasion when forced to is a misunderstanding of his character.

This is literally one of the most famous Usopp panels.

Go reread Syrup Village, and Arlong Park, and Little Garden, and Drum Island, and Alabasta, and Skypiea, and Water 7, and Enies Lobby, and Thriller Bark, and Sabody, and Post-War, and Fish-Man Island, and y'know what just reread the entire manga.
 
Go reread Syrup Village
When he lied his ass off every day for years and almost got his entire village killed, only with the Straw Hats saving his village and his biggest W was Kaya. Didn't do shit of relevance.
and Arlong Park
When he ran away from Chew and everybody else after getting a sneak shot and was forced to fight him.
and Little Garden
When he did nothing at all except get bodied by Mr. 5.
and Drum Island
When he did nothing at all.
and Alabasta, and Skypiea
He was in Skypiea to get bitched the entire arc. His best moment was scamming civilians for dials with a rubber band.
and Water 7
When he caused the largest piece of drama the crew has ever seen and didn't do anything. Showing emotion ≠ good or brave
and Enies Lobby
He fired at the WG next to his army of goons who would protect him. It's like me picking on a kid when my big brother and his entire gang of criminals are right behind me.
and Thriller Bark
Perona. That's 1.
and Sabody
Where he did nothing.
and Post-War
When he did nothing. He was there for 2 chapters and didn't do shit.
and Fish-Man Island
When he did nothing except fighting ******* Daruma and that was it
and y'know what just reread the entire manga.
Yeah.

You just named every arc, even arcs where he was irrelevant

Didn't even read this but know its cap
 
Usopp not being relevant isn't a character failing on his part tbh. It's Oda not giving one of his, arguably, better-written characters much time in the spotlight.

Doesn't help he was absent from the story for YEARS because of WCI.
 
Name me 1 thing of substance Usopp has contributed to the series in the past 13 years
You mean on purpose, right? That's a bit tough to remember, ngl.
Didn't even read this but know its cap
Ungodly amounts of cap, and probably just a bit of tomfoolery. But, I do think it's funny that Moron chose some of the worst possible arcs.

And, honestly, Usopp does get shafted a lot. If it wasn't for Usopp being in the opening, I probably would've forgot that he was in the Baratie Arc.
Literally none of the Straw Hats, besides Luffy, directly did shit here.

Daruma wasn't a legitimate threat, but he wasn't fodder.

Usopp pussied out for a bit, but he was legit one of the reasons Luffy beat Doflamingo.

Nami would be dead if he hadn't been taking hits from Ulti.

And of course, now he's sorta just manning the comms for the crew.

Facts lmao. Usopp is the worst Straw Hat imo and i aint changing my mind. Bro rly thinks Luffy is gonna run from Kizaru saying "Luffy you should run hes an Admiral" and ignores the fact Luffy took down Kaido. Hes stupid
 
I like starting conflict, so who's everyone's least favourite current (so not temporary allies, like Vivi) Straw Hat?

I don't have one if we're just going by canon material. If we're going by non-canon material, then it's Sanji.

My least favorite is Usopp.

Just because his fighting style and gags interests me the least, and all the other Straw Hats are better on-screen.

Well my least favorite (note: the least interesting) is Zoro
Hmm.....

Non-canon material is Sanji, canon is Nami cuz she's a meanie and double standarda aren't ok.

I still like all the Straw Hats.
