Usoppās standalone movie
I believe it would be fantastic if Usopp had his own standalone movie. The movie could depict him saving the day or the crew temporarily separating from him. It would be great to explore his backstory from Syrup Village, potentially involving a relative of Kuro coming after him or Luffy. I think it's important to have a good soundtrack and cool effects.
Even though there is a risk that the movie may not do well, I am confident that people would watch it, despite the fact that Usopp has a polarizing perception among fans. This movie could make up for his lack of focus in the series, giving us a chance to see him in sniper mode and using Observation Haki. Fans would be interested in seeing this unexpected side of Usopp.
The movie could also touch upon the Water 7 arc and his insecurities, and we might even get a Yasopp flashback. It would be a refreshing change, as it wouldn't be focused on the Monster Trio and other One Piece characters, but rather on a deeply flawed character that people very very often criticize, despite being a member of the Mugiwara crew. I sincerely believe he could carry a movie alone, though I may be biased. The potential for this idea is huge, and it would likely generate a lot of interest on social media. Usopp fans would be so happy! I know I may be overly optimistic, but a fan can dream.

One Piece fic rec ā¤ļøš£
This recommendation is centered around Usopp because his speech in the last part of the fanfic makes me cry every time. It truly encapsulates Usopp's role in relation to Luffy and highlights his true purpose in the crew. While I could quote Usoppās speech verbatim, I feel that wouldnāt do it justice; itās best to read the entire story from the beginning. However, I often revisit the fic just to experience that final part again. The story has received a lot of kudos, so Iām sure many people have read āSynthesisā by KBstories. It moves me to tears each time. Usopp really knows how to deliver an impactful speech. You should definitely check it out!

Usopp isnāt an Underdog (TL;DR)
If we really take the time to look at it, in a very practical way. An a**pull isnāt really an a**pull. Or whatever way powerscalers like to get red in the face for.
I think a lot of people and One Piece fans have been going about Usopp in the wrong way. If you feel you havenāt, thatās fine. But for the past couple of weeks when on my break, I came to the realization after reading a book (Iāll give the title later) that when considering the genre One Piece falls under and who itās catered to, it has indeed been a hindrance for Usopp, and even the writer, Oda. Why? Because Oda is as predictable as he is unpredictable. The same can be said for Usopp.
What do I mean by that?
Before I even get into how smart and great Usopp is, I want to state a point. A lot of people are right, Usopp is inevitably a target. Forget about the Sanji v Zoro rap sessions, or Gear 5's overpowered characteristics. Because copium or not, what Oda is doing to Usopp is intentional. When people say that Oda intended for Usopp to always be the weakest it sometimes bothered me. Not because I want him to be crazy f**kin strong. Or that my expectations are aimless. But that statement always bothered me because it seemed like those people were trying to make it a point to say that thereās nothing left for Usopp. Heās regressed and is fodder. Those two years spent on that island, Boin, with his quirky mentor Heracles was all for naught. Everyone else got these nice trainers, and Usoppās wasnāt as nearly cool. This pained me to even just think about it. And all this shade is something I'm quoting, I don't believe any of these bad things said about Usopp. I stress this.
But Iām actually starting to embrace this aspect. No, the haters didnāt cause me to resign to their stupid agenda or hate bon*r. But they made me realize (including the book I just read), that Oda is writing Usopp perfectly. I kid you not. It took a whole analysis on David and Goliath to really make me think.
For starters, in general, us mortals (or humans) have a really twisted way of looking at the odds, or the underdog. We often think that the Goliaths are these powerful beings. We think that when we find ourselves up against these stronger people weāre at a disadvantage. Despite the One Piece fandom having a vague idea of what Usoppās underdog status represents and how Shonen grades āweak charactersā, I think this brings forward that fact. Therefore, Usopp is a weak little a**hole no one gives a shit about, and if they do, itās to prove a point (very passionately indeed) that heās nothing but fodder and Oda has forgotten about him. But wait. Due to our twisted way of thinking, this is where Oda is challenging us. From the start we were at first under the idea that Luffy was at a disadvantage a few times when he was up against certain villains like Arlong or Crocodile, but Oda and Luffy proved to us a few times afterwards that this small Strawhat had what it took. He had balls.
But Usoppās journey is much more unique and complex.
I must admit, the Usopp haters sometimes get to me. Iām human. It happens. But after reading the book and a eureka moment happened, I understood that Oda was baiting the haters, HE IS BAITING THE HATERS. Heās baiting his audience. For the last three weeks, it was as though everyone couldnāt stop trash-talking Usopp, I started to go crazy. I spent 5 days straight arguing with this a**hole on YouTube who just wanted to prove and beat into my f**cking head that Usopp is āthe buttā of the crew. āHeāll never be as strong as Luffyā, āHe spent two years on an island and suffered from Obesity. A joke my friendā, and āNamiās even stronger than him. Heās useless and disloyalā. Ugh!!! Anywho, I understood after reading the book that a**hats like him are what Oda wants. Heās making fun of and light-heartedly taking advantage of Usopp getting sh*tted upon. One Piece is a Shonen manga, baby! But Oda isnāt a conventional writer (thatās what makes One Piece the GOAT).
So, Oda is taking into consideration how flawed humans are in thinking what a powerful person is. He knows we think the Goliaths are the ones who have a chance of winning, when in fact, the Davids are just as formidable. If he had Usopp ātake a back seatā in Wano, it was intentional.
When David stepped out behind that protective barrier to defend his people, King Saul stopped him and said āDude, thereās no way youāre winning this.ā Saul was wrong because he thought Goliath had this fight in the bag. And we know who really had the fight in the bag. And if thereās one thing to very strongly note, one thing to consider in the David and Goliath battle is that David was a projectile fighter fighting an infantryman. David was so talented with a sling that he couldāve shot that pebble through Goliath's head so deep it was practically a hot bulletāthe stone/pebble David used equated to a bullet during biblical times. And he did "stun" Goliath. The worst opponent for an infantry fighter is in fact a projectile fighter because infantry fighters require making close contact to land multiple blows on an enemy. But projectile fighters can counteract that quickly with just one shot. Therefore, Usopp is at an advantage more than we think due to Usoppās quick thinking and ammo as well. He just needs to position himself correctly up against the right opponent, and bang!
So, in this 20+ years journey, Oda has taken advantage of Usoppās character. He wants US to undermine Usopp so badly. So that when Usopp has his biggest moment, itāll break the fandom.
āNo way! How could Usopp win that?!ā āOMG. What a major a**pull!ā āDamn, he one shot the hell outta [insert future adversary]!ā
That finicky little word, a**pull made its appearance again. But nah, it wasnāt an a**pull.
Why?
Because David was never at a disadvantage when he fought Goliath.

It drives me nuts how Luffyās refusal to show grief for Merry or acknowledge Merryās importance is a big part of what sets Usopp off during the argument, only for Luffy later to pretty much do the same thing to Usopp at the end of the arc when he acts like heās fine leaving him behind.
Like. What was learned there. Way to prove Usopp right

I was literally just having a convo about Usopp and the Clima-Tact, and hereās the thingāUsopp is a mechanical engineer. Comparing Usoppās invention to Namiās use of it is like comparing Einsteinās Theory of General Relativity to Newtonās Law of Universal Gravitation. One built the foundation, the other redefined it.
Sure, people can say Nami made the most of the Clima-Tact, but to act like sheās what makes it relevant is wild. Thatās like suggesting she couldāve invented it herselfāor that her skill with it is purely about physical prowess, not the genius behind the tech sheās wielding. Letās not downplay the fact that the Clima-Tact couldāve ended up in anyoneās handsābut it didnāt. It was made for her, by someone who knows what heās doing. Respect the brain and the brawn. Right? Right? š
To put it simply:
Nami without Usoppās updates = someone swinging an outdated tool.
Usopp without Namiās use = a genius making tools that might never be field-tested.
But Usopp is the constant.
Because the Clima-Tact only grows because he keeps upgrading itānot because she does.
It's similar to the classic question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" However, I believe Usopp likely understands both the reason and mechanics of how the climatact works, while Nami only knows the mechanics.
Sure, I know what a bullet doesābut that doesnāt mean I could build the gun that fires it. š
how the climatact works
The Clima-tact
Yes, Nami absolutely maximized Usopp's invention, adding her own weather combos and battle-ready tweaks with impressive smarts and creativity. But let's not forget that it was Usopp who crafted the Climatact in the first place, and heās the one constantly upgrading itāfree of charge, might I add. If the roles were reversed, you can bet Nami would have an invoice ready. Usopp even enhanced it before Whole Cake Island, which directly contributed to her MVP status in that arc.
I don't mean to sound critical, but when some Nami fans downplay Usopp's role in creating the Climatact, it's like saying Steve Jobs didnāt make the iPhone. Sure, a smartphone is only as smart as its user, but without Usoppāour very own Steve Jobsāthere wouldnāt be a Climatact to trick out in the first place. So, yes, Usopp is the genius behind the hardware, and Namiās the savvy user who downloaded every app and just upgraded to the iCloud storage plan.
Let's not forget that the Climatact isn't just any pole staff. Usopp's craftsmanship is what makes it unique, tailored specifically to maximize Nami's abilities. If she could achieve the same results with any ordinary staff, then her contribution wouldn't be as impressive. But the fact is, she can'tāher abilities are amplified because of the specialized weapon Usopp designed and continues to upgrade.
Also, itās important to remember that Namiās weather techniques rely heavily on combining elements like water and other components. She can't do that without the Climatactās unique features. Usopp didnāt just give her a standard weaponāhe provided a tool that enables her to manipulate the weather in ways that would be impossible otherwise. His ingenuity is what makes her techniques feasible. So, without the Climatact, Nami wouldnāt have the same level of versatility and power in battle.
Itās kind of like finding the right blender. You can have all the ingredients, but if you donāt have the right blender, it just doesnāt work. The Climatact is that specialized tool for Nami. Without it, she wouldnāt be able to combine elements like water and lightning to create her powerful weather attacks. Usopp didnāt just hand her any old staffāhe gave her the perfect āblenderā that allows her to mix and match elements in ways that make her a force to be reckoned with. His craftsmanship is what makes her abilities possible.
Downplaying Usopp's role undermines the significance of his genius. Without his foundational work, there wouldnāt be a Climatact for Nami to trick out in the first place. Both their contributions are vital, but Usopp's craftsmanship is the cornerstone of Nami's success.
Let's give credit where it's due.

I don't hate yasopp because we really don't know much about him not his back backstory or his origin. Nothing at all.
Not to theorize or anything, but I feel like his backstory has something to do with his identity. Because when you think about it, almost everyone in the straw hat pirates we know their last names Sanji, Frankie's, luffy's (we're going to assume nami took Bellamy's last name) Even zoro's and we don't really know that much about his family.
Usopp we've seen his mother we've seen his father but yet we don't have any last name at all and also to point out yasopp has his name on a headband, tattooed on his arm and I think it was an animation error but it was also on his forehead at one time. I feel like his name has a really big significance to him and may also be a part of his backstory somehow.
Maybe he named himself it could be baby 5 situation or he doesn't know his given name or like Sanji and completely disowned that part of himself
Also, he was a famous sniper before he was on the red hair pirates and assuming before Usopp was born too he was still a young adult late 20s when he had usopp. Having that type of reputation and skill level at that age he must have started very young
My personal HC that yasopp is running away from something in his past he probably had a bounty before he became a pirate
I always try to remember the quote " kids who've never seen peace seen kids who've never seen war have different values" when analyzing One piece characters
Idk I'm rambling I always keep an open mind when it comes to one piece characters. Oda always seems to drop God tier lore on some characters you wouldn't expect to have that type of lore

The God of Lies Litmus Test
Hey everyone! š
So, I was daydreaming (as usual) and my thoughts wandered to Usoppāspecifically Usopp-centric fanfictionāand I thought: Wouldnāt it be fun if there was a litmus test for him?
This isnāt a purity test; itās just a guiding star for anyone who wants to check if their portrayal of Usopp respects his complexity, lets him be brave, messy, and worthy, and uses his strengths while keeping him fun. (Or you can ignore it completely and tell me to sit my a** down, lol.)
I actually use this to hold myself accountable when writing Usopp, and itās helped me see just how layered and interesting he really is. Feel free to use it, adapt it, or pass it along if you want your One Piece fic to give Usopp his flowersāwithout draining the joy from your story.
For Usopp: the Straw Hatsā Sniper King, liar, brave coward, and the man who can be a god.
1. Is Usoppās cowardice framed with compassion (not as cheap mockery or false self-deprecation)?
2. Is Sniper King used to uplift him as a human, not to shame him?
3. Does Water 7 conflict validate Usoppās feelings (or avoid reducing it to āright vs. wrongā)?
4. Is Usopp shown as a good liarāso good he can act like a bad liar?
5. Are Usoppās W7 choices framed as necessary for his growth, not as an āIcarus failureā?
6. Is Usoppās relevance not limited to shipping?
7. Is Yasoppās abandonment not used to portray Usopp as emotionally stunted?
8. Are Usoppās strengths used per canon, or extended in believable headcanon that fits canon?
9. Are Usoppās feelings validated by at least one Straw Hat, not overshadowed by āLuffyās wayā?
10. Does Usopp get at least one bada** moment (and maybe the last word) amid humiliation?
11. Is Usopp allowed to be seen as a āmonsterā or āgodā like his crewmates?
12. Is Usoppās hair mentioned as something he cares for?
13. Is Usopp heard and validated in-universe?
14. Is Usopp portrayed as worthy and strong?
15. Is Usoppās apology, if present, meaningfulānot forced to prove worth?
16. Is his lack of a Devil Fruit not seen as a flaw?
17. Does Luffy show concern for Usopp at least once?
18. Is Usoppās unreliable narration handled thoughtfully?
19. Are Usoppās traits used in a grounded, layered way (not just one exaggerated trait)?
20. Is Usopp allowed to get angry or irrational without being demeaned?
21. Is his lying explored for why he does it, not just condemned?
22. Does Usopp get a fair fight against an opponent?
23. Does the crew show that they need Usopp?
24. Does the crew actively lift Usopp up?
25. Is Usopp allowed to talk smack or poke fun at others without being painted as mean-spirited or lesser for it?
Use as a checklist while drafting or editing your Usopp fic.
You donāt need to check every box, but meeting more will often yield a richer, Usopp-respecting story.
If your fic is meant to critique how heās treated, you can intentionally subvert a few, but know why.
Iām inspired by this. Itās interesting and well-informed!

One Piece Daddy! Usopp x Mommy! Reader: Hanging By A Moment
I just rewatched Syrup Village with a friend whose just starting his One Piece Journey, so i felt Usopp needed the treatment he deserved.
youtube
----------------------------
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
It was no lie that Usopp was extremely nervous and very doubtful to be a dad. He didn't have much of a father figure growing up, and having a fear of you dying was always in the back of his mind.
You reassured him that Chopper had called Law to assist. So you were in the best care possible. Knowing that there were 2 doctors who were skilled and the best put one of his fears at ease. The other couldn't be rested.
You had a feeling you may need extra help. So you put in a favor Mihawk owed you, as you had him send a letter to Shanks. Specifically, Yasopp.
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
You received a letter back from Shanks, who said he would absolutely head in your direction. You decided to keep it a secret, but at least letting Luffy know. He was extremely excited but understood why you summoned them.
When they arrived, you had just gone into labor. Hongo helped Law and Chopper with the process. Yasopp looked over at Usopp. He watched him become such a nervous wreck. He approached him cautiously.
"Usopp, i know it's not my place as i was a lousy excuse of a father. Hell, im still not. But Hongo is the best doctor on our ship. (Y/n) will have the best doctors possible." He said in a reassuringly tone.
Usopp nodded. It was oddly comforting to him. He was mad at Yasopp for abandoning him and his mother, but he understood why. He eventually learned to let it go.
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now
Chopper emerged with a bundle in his arms. A boy who looked perfectly like you and Usopp. Usopp looked slightly relieved. "What about (y/n)??" He asked, worried.
Law emerged with Hongo. "She's okay, just tired mostly. She's resting right now." Law said.
Usopp finally felt his body let go of the tension he was holding onto. You were ok. The baby was okay. HE was okay. He debated on a name for his son.
"Thasopp? I think (y/n) would like that a lot." Usopp pondered
"I think its a great name." Yasopp said softly.
Usopp smiled at his fathers words. He was warming up to him. He agreed to start building a relationship, small and slow.
When he went to go see you, you had finally awakened. You were a complete mess, but he thought you looked extra beautiful to him.
"Hey there gorgeous, hows my wonderful wife doing?" He asked gently.
"Im ok, just tired. What did you name the baby?"
"Thasopp. It was my great grandfathers name." He said with a small smile.
"I love it. Its beautiful." You replied.
There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
Once you were able to walk around, you met Yasopp. You definitely scolded him for his choice of leaving Usopp, but welcomed him to your little family.
Yasopp told Usopp he liked you, that you were a fiery spirit. Usopp agreed very much, knowing what a fierce fighter you were.
Soon, the Red-haired Pirates had to leave, but Yasopp handed Usopp something. A piece of paper and the number to the transponder snail of the Red force.
"That's my Vivre card. So you know I'll be ok. And the transponder snail number in case you have father questions." Yasopp said nervously.
Usopp only hugged him in response. "Thank you for coming. I really needed this."
Yasopp hugged him back. "Im so sorry i wasn't there for you and your mother. But im proud of the brave man i can call my son."
Usopp teared up. "Thanks dad."
You waved at the pirates in response, holding Thasopp. You knew this was going to be a huge journey for both of you, but Usopp felt he was brave enough to tackle it together with you.
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

Hey! Thank you so much! š I canāt wait to publish more because I have so much planned for this fic. And no rush on your end; youāre always so kind! My sister was a fan of Dell and Eshe, and my mother liked Eshe too, but Iām glad you enjoy the characters you like! I plan to portray Condoriano as someone who plays the fool, but thereās definitely more to him than meets the eye. So, thank you, my friend. I just saw your ArtFight notification, and I need to make at least two contributions. I wonāt be too hard on myself since this is my first year, but I canāt help but feel that way. Thank you for always being so uplifting!
Fan art for my new Usopp-centric fan fic, āCould Be Something, Nothing.ā
Yes, yes. I'm starting a new ongoing fan fiction.
I'm sharing some original characters (three are not OCs). I included some of these characters in a potential art fight, and I wanted a good reference for the future while writing. The initials represent the arcs.
Premise, basically: Yasopp's enemies are targeting Usopp, but he is defended by 18 individuals who owe Yasopp a favor. These allies help Usopp fight off threats during each arc, both pre-timeskip and post-timeskip. Each person is assigned to a specific island or village, as illustrated in the accompanying image. The rest of the crew is unaware of this aspect of Usopp's life and journey, as he keeps it a secret. It's hard to predict how they would react if they learned the truth; his friends donāt understand him as well as they believe they do. Usopp is skilled at keeping secrets and doesnāt plan on revealing this to his crew anytime soon because, after all, Luffy's dream is what matters most, right? Find the story here.
Which character design do you like the best?

Loyalty Doesnāt Have to Be Loud š
So like⦠Iāve been thinking a lot about Zoro lately ā how fandom talks about him, how he gets portrayed in fanfic ā and honestly Iāve landed on two things that kinda help me process it better:
āA lot of people (and fic) make Zoro way meaner and more emotionally cold than he actually is.ā
āThe idea that Zoro and Usopp arenāt close ā or that Zoro never trusted him ā really feels more like a reflection of how Zoro views himself than it does any actual failure on Usoppās part.ā
Because like??? Zoro was the first person ready to help Usopp defend Syrup Village. Literally in Usoppās intro arc. He didnāt hesitate. That meant something. That was Zoro saying, āI see you. I got your back.ā
I swear, I can unpack Usoppās depression and self-worth issues for hours, but sometimes I think fandom paints way darker and crueler interpretations of these relationships than what actually exists in canon. Like not every dynamic has to be filtered through pain and betrayal. Sometimes itās just⦠quiet loyalty. The kind that doesnāt always show itself loudly but is always there. š«
Anyway. Zoro and Usopp are still friends. Always were. Always will be.

Why Hasnāt Usopp Gotten Standalone Content Yet? A (Not-So-Rhetorical) Question
Luffy is the main character.
Zoro is Odaās favorite.
Nami has books, a film arc, and more.
Sanji has a whole Food Wars crossover + his own saga.
Chopper is getting a cute little series.
Usopp? Crickets.
And Iām not saying this to accuse anyone. I just recently bought Sanjiās Shokugeki no Sanji one-shot, and it hit me: Why couldnāt Usopp get something like this too? A one-shot covering his deleted scenes ā Daddy Masterson, the Garp interaction, his time on the Boin Archipelago. Heck, give him a Wano side story where he performs rakugo and the frog on his bandana actually talks.
Itās wild that out of all the East Blue 5, heās the only one who hasnāt had non-canon or spin-off media focused solely on him. Not a movie. Not a special. Not even a light novel.
Maybe people think heās not marketable. Maybe Oda isnāt interested.
Or maybe ā maybe ā thereās something in store for him that we wonāt see coming.
Because if Beavis and Buttheadās creators could pass the torch and let Daria shineā¦
Then surely, Usopp deserves his moment too.
mic dropped⦠but Iām ready to pick it up again anytime

Fan art for my new Usopp-centric fan fic, āCould Be Something, Nothing.ā
Yes, yes. I'm starting a new ongoing fan fiction.
I'm sharing some original characters (three are not OCs). I included some of these characters in a potential art fight, and I wanted a good reference for the future while writing. The initials represent the arcs.
Premise, basically: Yasopp's enemies are targeting Usopp, but he is defended by 18 individuals who owe Yasopp a favor. These allies help Usopp fight off threats during each arc, both pre-timeskip and post-timeskip. Each person is assigned to a specific island or village, as illustrated in the accompanying image. The rest of the crew is unaware of this aspect of Usopp's life and journey, as he keeps it a secret. It's hard to predict how they would react if they learned the truth; his friends donāt understand him as well as they believe they do. Usopp is skilled at keeping secrets and doesnāt plan on revealing this to his crew anytime soon because, after all, Luffy's dream is what matters most, right? Find the story here.
Which character design do you like the best?

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism šš¾ you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
