Usopp and Luffy

I wonder if when Usopp and Luffy argue post-Water 7, Luffy has to hold back because he’s afraid Usopp will leave again. Same for Usopp (but I’d think he’d just lock himself in his workshop all day to cool off).

Usopp has a fiery temper, and Luffy’s bull-headed.

Hence their zodiac signs (Aries and Taurus) and they’re so alike but different.

Ah, Chapter 332: Luffy vs Usopp 😭😤

I may be upset, but I still appreciate mom Zoro telling Chopper and (I think) Nami to go to their rooms

i think a lot of the shanks-buggy dynamic is one of favorite-vs-unfavored siblings

I think we as a people deserve to see Usopp and Buggy in the ring, that would be the true event of the Strawhat x Cross Guild Davy back fight.

Their round would be about who could tell the most outrageous lie that would allow them to trip and fall upwards in life. And never before would we have seen two titans of their field go head to head like this.

People keep on wanting to see Sanji and Crocodile fight in a Cross Guild match up, and I want to argue a more interesting match up

Crocodile vs Robin

Robin just uses Gigante Fleur to grow a giant version of herself, spits onto Crocodile to moisturize him and then squashes him like a bug

Understanding Usopp's Perspective in Water 7

I still don't understand why people can't grasp that Usopp was only 17 years old during the Water 7 arc. People love to be "objective" and claim Usopp was wrong for challenging his captain, but Luffy wasn't entirely blameless either.

Usopp was the first to notice how unprepared everyone was for the New World, but the rest of the crew seemed in denial or overconfident. How could Usopp voice his insecurities when everyone else apparently had their act together? It felt like, "Yeah, whatever Usopp, you're just a scaredy cat," when, in reality, he was becoming more attuned to the fact that one of the strongest people he knew was starting to lose to the bad guys.

Critics say, "Usopp didn't know how to take orders from his captain," but that's not true. If Luffy was starting to lose, then how prepared were they for the New World? Usopp knew his own limitations and was unsure how to help, leading him to feel like he was losing control. He likely thought, "If everyone else has their act together, then who am I?" He channeled all that into Merry.

I believe Usopp's innate ability to sense danger started to manifest here. Luffy was overestimating himself—from the incident with Kuzan to punching Charlos.

Luffy took the crew, his friends, for granted and didn't realize how much he needed them until after Marineford, when Jinbe gave him a reality check. He couldn't empathize with Usopp because he failed to understand the consequences of being unprepared and powerless. Luffy thought his confidence would be enough for everyone, but it just put them all in danger. There was still some "playing pirate" nonsense going on.

Luffy was also 17 and deserves grace, but apparently, Usopp is the outlier who brings the crew down? Yeah, right. The unconscious bias shows. The privilege shows.

Literally just read a fic where the crew can’t stop beating it into Usopp’s f*cking head how much he “sucked” back in Water 7. Smh. What message does that give? Oh, keep telling someone they suck to the point they go and find the highest building to jump off of? Tough love works…to an extent. But without empathy? Yeah. What a crock of sh*t.

Just needed to get that off my chest.

THEY DON’T EVEN REMEMBER??? Luffy be walking out of this with LONG lasting trauma of watching all his friends nearly die and the others are just like. Man that was a nice nap! Luffy what are you doing on the ground sprawled out like that? Meanwhile Luffy’s internally having a breakdown because holy fucking SHIT what the hell did he just have to go through,

i know i made a chart about this but lucci is a dog in the way luffy is a dog. like zoro is a dog in the sense of homicidal loyalty and willingness to fall asleep in the grass, but lucci and luffy are dogs in that they are pulling at their leashes going nuts from opposite entrances to the dog park and if they manage to wrestle out of their collars (and luffy always does) they will fight and it will get them banned from the premises. lucci was made to sit in a window and growl at luffy whenever he walks by the house and vice versa.

to taper off the weekly wait for chapters, I started listening to a bunch of One Piece radio sessions where the voice actors would basically just talk to each other about behind the scenes work or what they usually do and it's been so fun

One Piece: Dub vs Sub?

I put in a comment yesterday on Instagram saying I watch One Piece English Dub (obviously not the 4kids English dub, that needs to be destroyed). I had so many people saying I’m not a real fan and I’m wrong about the Funimation dub being good. I’ve watched both dub and sub (long story about why I watch some in dub and some in dub but that’s a story for another day). The two are different. Sub is amazing but dub has some seriously great voice actors who do a great job. A lot of them are absolute VA legends. Here are some of them that may make you laugh a little when you see the characters with the same VA:

Luffy-Riza Hawkeye from Full Metal Alchemist (Colleen Clinkenbeard)

Zoro-Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z (Chris Sabat)

Law-Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan (Matthew Mercer)

Ace-Roy Mustang from Full Metal Alchemist (Travis Willingham)

Sabo-Ichigo from Bleach (Johnny Yong Bosch)

Koby-Yurio from Yuri!! on Ice (Micah Solusod)

Brooks-Worick Arcangelo from Gangsta (Ian Sinclair)

Usopp-Maes Hughes from Full Metal Alchemist (Sonny Strait)

Nico Robin-Handler from Spyxfamily (Stephanie Young)

Sanji- Nishiki Nishio from Tokyo Ghoul (Eric Vale)

Don’t write off the dub, it’s really good. And don’t hate people who like to watch dub over sub. Be nice!
