Oda did a lot of mistakes with the character of Usopp. Heres a few things:-
- Lack of Usopp doing things in any arc bar DR. Usopp has no role on the ship....his only role is a fighting role, thus it makes logical sense for him to actually get more fights or at the very least have his marksmanship shown off once in a while. However all he gets is 1 fake gag fight all of post timeskip. A lot of his previous fights were gags...but at the very least they were long. No way you can say he had a fight with Sugar....cause that wasnt a fight. And of course all the times where his Marksmanship should be shown off....its his plants that take the stage. Which takes me to my other point.
- Plants shouldve never been incorporated into his fighting style. Plants was a complete rework on how his moveset was Pre Timeskip. This happened to other SHs....like Nami and Sanji. However in Sanji's case he got rid of the RS ( since he doesnt use weapons) and all the science boost he got was just stat enhancement, so it didnt take much from him. In Nami's case....Zeus is still related to weather and she very much has control it seems. However for Usopp, those plants are doing all the work....when it should be his skill in marksmanship. It should be him shooting down people....not those dumb plants eating or farting on people. His marksmanship has not existed post timeskip bar the moment he shot at Sugar.
It honestly doesnt feel like hes a sniper or marksman.....more like a botanist that uses plants to fight.
------
Honestly I feel like Kuro Kabuto or whatever that plant that eats Rubble shouldve been his only PU post timeskip. Everything else shouldve been his Pre Timeskip shit but reworked and made stronger.
I honestly hope his Pop green garden got burnt down and in Elbaf he goes back to his roots....and goes back to using Ammunition and Dials.
