Speculations Odalf is doing this on purpose

#27
Oda has to be doing to purposefully spite Usopp fans there is no way all of this is a coincidence.

Introduce Usopp to Elbaf by having him get neg diffed by a Cat then follow it up with clear foreshadowing by Luffy that he has to get stronger. He doesn’t get stronger at all in the arc. Spends the entire arc jobbing.

Introduce a Holy Knight whose entire power is based on using an opponents fears against them in Elbaf, the island which represents the culmination of Usopp’s journey to bravery. Furthermore give said holy knight an orange color scheme Usopp’s primary color. The Holy Knoght is a Zoro and Sanji opponent. Usopp never interacts with him.

Introduce the cultural heritage of the Giants in the form the Harley Mural and Text. Have Robin Chopper read the text and Franky visit the mural, Usopp never interacts with the culture of Elbaf.

Introduce the national treasure of Elbaf, a giant hammer just like the one Usopp constantly lies about. Usopp who used a hammer as a finisher of the majority of his Pre TS fights. The hammer is actually Loki’s and Usopp has nothing to do with it.


Oda clearly has it out for Usopp for some reason. This is not just poor writing, he is deliberately trying to hurt Usopp fans.
Does Big Daddy Saran Bridge the 1st and 3rd world by being covered by Franky in the middle?

Killingham being a Sanji fight is my strongest proof Odabis intentionally trying to spite Usopp and his fans. Not even I, as the number 1 Usopp glazer, could come up with a better opponent for Usopp to overcome his fears than an Orange wearing God’s Knight who turns Nightmares into reality in Elbaf, Usopp’s dream land. But instead Judge’s son is given yet another fight no one cares for

Usopp holding a legendary weapon or beating a holy knight was never going to happen because the entire point of Usopp’s character is that he’s a weakling.

he will still be strong in his own right. But that will probably be him defeating his own fear, whatever that might be.

And how better to defeat his own fears than fighting the literal nightmare manifesting man? It’s lie you people don’t even understand what you’re we already know Usopp will be stronger than Yasopp too.

You notice when Oda re-does the old Colorspreads, the rest of the East Blue 5 (Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Sanji) all keep their prominent positions. Meanwhile Usopp because a speck in the background with a member of the mid trio (Franky or Jimbei).


Very good catch. This shows us Oda doesn't give a rat's ass about him, he's a background character.

Don't lose hope, Oda rill redeem Usopp at the end of Elbaph.

However I have a feeling all Usopp will do is cry and yell at Luffy to do smth about it, and that's be his great contribution to winning in the end. Essentially being Luffy's motivator.
