I have no words

Usopp + Robin = Parent abandons them to pursue a “dream” which their child then emulates + ostracized at a young age for reasons beyond their control.

Usopp + Robin = Trust issue central + Suicide Symbolism + Spending Water 7 in a full blown trigger spiral.

Usopp = Refusal to Accept Death vs Robin = Refusal to Accept Life

Usopp + Robin = Association with Giants

Usopp = Lies vs Robin = Secrets :: Usopp = Future vs Robin = Past

Forgot if I already said this yet or not, so if I already did sorry to those who don't like my theory/lore posts.

I tend to prefer to connect the Emperor colours to East Asian elemental concept, but the colours happen to match the Horsemen of Apocalypse too.

White = Conquest, Red = War, Black = Famine, "Pale" = Death.

(there is no such thing as a "Pestilence" horse/horseman, by the way, pestilence is actually just one of the many horrible things that the "Death" horseman brings)

Now in English the "pale" colour for death is not exactly specified, though usually coloured blue/green in paintings to look sickly. However, in the Japanese text, the phrase to describe "pale" (aozameta 青ざめた) specifically does contain the word "blue" (青 ao).

Maybe coincidence, maybe it means something, I don't know. I have no theories here. Just an observation.

Straw Hat Pirates Elbaf Outfit | One Piece Chapter 1127

[thegreatcaptainusopp]

Can I just say I am so fucking excited that Oda gets to showcase some of his biggest inspirations in this up and coming Elbaf arc?

We know of a few, such as DBZ, Astro Boy but two that really are going to shine this arc, and already have before and now, are Asterix and Obelix and Vicki the Viking. As the son of a French/Spainard, I personally grew up around the latter, so when I first started One Piece, it really came to mind, especially the color spreads.

Seeing Usopp wearing a Obelix's costume (as well to a degree Queen from The Beast Pirates but thats it's own thing) seems oh so fitting for an homage, as Obelix's entire character is kindness, and a strength of both physical and of heart. We also, the chapter before have a very similar design to Obelix, showing perhaps Oda had a favorite. (Not to mention the way Oda draws certain people seems to stem from some of these, uncharacteristic, designs.)

Than we have the Vicky The Viking insperation, which is absolutely undeniable and EVERYWHERE. From Kaido and his beast pirate uniform being clearly just Sven the Terrible, to a little boy wearing a very familar hat- right down to the barrel and dancing and singing, Oda clearly has taken the series to heart. I am BEYOND excited to see even more of this love for his childhood and comfort in his work.

To leave this post off-- have Zoro dressed as... Zorro.

usopp loving bugs and spiders is like my favorite thing about him and i absolutely love when characters have silly little contradictory traits, it makes them feel so much more real! guy who is so scared and has a degree in running away actually loves spiders and pets them gently
