Break Week We need to talk about Usopp"fans"

#1
If you're a member of this forum, you've probably come across a thread from a Usopp fan saying that, Oda is a bad writer, because Usopp didn't shine in this arc, because Oda forgot Usopp, that Usopp was wronged, but the real reason is because Oda didn't follow his pet character's headcannon. This character besides the monster trio (and Jinbei) was the only character that Oda bothered to give Haki, which even Dressrosa had the third highest bounty of the crew (lol). But what headcannon is this? Simple power level. Wano was the arc of power levels, DF awakened, Yonkous, calamities, Zoro exhaling CoC, Sanji with exoskeleton, ACoC everywhere, Straw Hats vs Tobiroppos. But what about Usopp??
-Well, I understand you didn't like the fact that it wasn't used well in Wano, I myself would like to have seen at least one more sample of your CoO, or because Wano is a country that uses seastone, see Usopp using seastone in the your ammo, and maybe, fight and beat a Tobiroppo (P1 would be the most plausible, for being the most fodder). But saying that Oda hates Usopp because he didn't make Usopp use his ACoC to defeat Kaido and Big Mom together and become the Pirate King(lmao), is just pathetic.
-It seems that some people forget that Oda doesn't work on Usopp's power level the same way as Luffy, Zoro and Sanji. Expecting Oda to make Usopp YC2 level from one arc to the next is ridiculous, not because Oda hates him but because that was never the way Oda developed the character's power level. Usopp, unlike other Straw Hats, was never said to be a combatant, and most of the time his strength was tied to his "coward" personality, even in the Straw Hats' biggest arcs, Usopp didn't play a big fighting role. It's funny because I remember seeing a thread from a fan of Usopp saying that he wanted Usopp to go back to being the "strongest" fourth of the crew like he was at the time of Arlong park and yes in Arlong park, Usopp is the fourth most strong, because the crew only had four official members and Usopp was the weakest (lol).
If you are waiting all the time for Usopp to show strength then:
- for you there is only Dressrosa, Ennies Lobby, Alabasta and fuck the other arcs
- you are addicted to PUs
-You're watching too much One Piece theory channels

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Usopp hater, I even think that if Elbaf happens, Usopp will be the main character, and we'll still have his fight against Van Auger that will probably be the best of the character in the entire series. But I just think that some Usopp fans are dramatic and expect things they know won't go the way they want.
Anyway, that was my thought. If you have any thoughts on this feel free to post them:cheers:

If you’re a fan of Usopp because you want him to get powerful, you should get a different character.

I think Usopp is the most creative character in One Piece with how he fights. And he’s hands down the most clutch and if there’s ever a character who works on Hax that overcome power, Usopps going to defeat them

He’s there to be the weak one that no one expects

When Sanji was captured by Black Maria every dumb ass Sanji fan was screaming Oda hates Sanji at the top of their lungs, Zoro fans believe he will kill Kaido and actually will rate this arc lower if Zkk never happens, but Usopp fans are in the wrong for wanting their character to shine or complaining about the way he's being treated, honestly you're better off sticking to powerscaling than you are in talking about Usopp

1- Just like Wano didn't make Zoro the "main character" or WCI made Sanji, Elbaf won't make Usopp "the main character". It will just be Luffy's show as usual.

2- Usopp's best fight will always be Usopp vs Luffy. The sooner you accept that, the more you will be able to enjoy whatever weird thing that will be Usopp vs Van Augr.

People wants Usopp to be like Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Jinbei, etc. who can keep up with the top fighters. But he doesn't have to. Usopp got his own ways of fighting and accomplishing great things. And him being served as "comic relief" in Dressrosa proves that.

Im sorry i cannot agree with this. Dressrosa in fact was the worst arc for Ussop in my opinion. His cowardice made Robin turned into a toy. Simply risking her to be erased from existence. I was really irritated with this, and the gag wasn't funny at all for me. And it was 100% pure luck that he could make Sugar fainted. Unlike pre ts where he showed great moment of bravery and being useful even tho he didn't fight like in Ennies lobby for example. You can argue that he become brave thanks to Sogeking mask but even in the previous arcs his shows similar kind of bravery without the mask. He simply become more Coward here in post ts. I feel sad for how Oda handle him nowadays.

obviously complained about the way he is being treated. Everyone wants to see their favorite character shine, there's nothing wrong with that. they might say the author your featured character you just because he doesn't hate your spotlight just wanted to say it's ridiculous
honestly you're better off sticking to powerscaling than you are in talking about Usopp
what the fuck do you mean by that?
1- Just like Wano didn't make Zoro the "main character" or WCI made Sanji, Elbaf won't make Usopp "the main character". It will just be Luffy's show as usual.
ok, I guess I shouldn't have used the word main character, but since WCI was the arc in which Sanji had the most prominence of all One Piece arcs, Wano was the arc in which Zoro had the most prominence in the entire series (more than Luffy himself). Elbaf will probably be the arc in which Usopp will be more prominent (I could be wrong in the future, but I believe it makes sense)
2- Usopp's best fight will always be Usopp vs Luffy. The sooner you accept that, the more you will be able to enjoy whatever weird thing that will be Usopp vs Van Augr.
meant in terms of hype and exploring the potential of the character

OK THE TITLE SCARED ME PRETTY HARD THO But tho I agree to many points of yours. I think that fandom forgets that even Oda said that Usopp will be always the weakest in combat from other SH and fact that he is a sniper. A Snipeeeerrrrrrr. Someone who is not meant to be in the main combat but rather be the guard angel of every other crew member that appears in the moment most needed, finding the greatest moment to shot at the right moment and place. God is made to protect, not attack... But besides that Usopp might be considered more dangerous because of his sharp eyes than a physical strength that might confuse part of the community.


Usopps only reason for existing rn is van augur
ALSO reasoning for existence of a sniper to beat the other snipers in my mind is kind of... dumb since I think oda won't put such obvious battle on paper for him... more like Daddy like combat if we had to put one like that
