Who would've thought we'd get an actual gem of an analysis on Usopp instead of just an April fool's joke.

"Being a hero doesn't mean not being afraid. It means taking action despite your fear." In that sense, Usopp probably is the most heroic person in OP.

Sanji's support of Usopp during Water 7/Enies Lobby becomes even more touching when you learn of Sanji's full backstory of him being abused and disowned by his family for being weak. I wouldn't be surprised if Sanji saw a lot of himself in Usopp during that arc. Sanji was like cool older brother looking out for their younger brother during that arc.

Usopp is a character that both embodies anxiety and the impostor syndrome, being convinced that he's a dead weight and the least capable of the group. That's beautiful, I love that character. But you made a mistake, sogeking isn't usopp, he's a hero from the sniper island (which is in your heart)

Usopp is a good hero, but he’s no Sogeking

The moment on Alabasta, where Usopp stood up after taking a 4 tonne bat to the face, was where i realised that Usopp wasn't just the comedy relief. Seeing him stand back up and consistently facing people who seemed so much stronger and still winning might've been plot amour but it was still rad as hell.

It’s rare to find people who actually understand Usopp

The scene where Sanji loudly proclaims the power of their Sniper is legit one of my favorites in all of One Piece!

This was a great analysis. You could've also mentioned the contrast of bravery back in Syrup village with Usopp and Kuro. Kuro was someone who decided to settle for less so he can avoid the troubles of a pirate's life. For he was a coward. Usopp stood upto his opposition and challenged it even though he believed there was no hope. For he was brave.

"Can a man be brave if he is afraid?" "That's the only time a man can be brave" A song of Ice and Fire Just saying Usopp's best moment was beating a little girl by exploiting her PTSD

Usopp has always been my favorite Straw hat member because he has always been more aware of his shortcoming than the other members. He's like the 1 normal person in a group of superheroes.

Usopp is my spirit animal.

Love the juxtaposition of Usopp and Spandam. Yet another reason Enies Lobby is a masterpiece.

What people fail to understand is that Usopp is a sniper and snipers are weak in a close distance, which is most battles taking place in one piece, if Usopp had distance in his battles, he could be a good fighter, we saw what he can do in the Enies Lobby arc with distance, even if they were just some generic marines. people just choose to believe that the only way a character is useful is if they are strong in close combat. Lots of people also ignore the support characters do, like how Usopp made Nami's Clima Tact and let's be honest, if Nami didn't have that, I don't think she would stand a chance against Califa.

Of all the characters' dreams in the entire series, Usopp is the closest to actually achieving it, he even might have. That's my favorite part about him, he IS living out his dream, which is a journey and not a destination. Even in his earliest ventures, I'd still say of all of them, just having the courage to fight his weakness already makes him a great warrior. He hasn't quite fully realized it yet, but he's certainly close.

Best moment when he start his speech about not let anyone laugh at your friends dreams.

I believe you're missing a "GOD" in the title of the video.

bravery is overcoming fear. if you have no fear, you're not truly brave. Usopp has the most fear. once he overcomes all of it, he'll truly be the bravest.

I would like to comment that Usopp only ran away from Sugar because he had forgotten all about Robin (literally) and he had no idea what happened to Franky. Usopp was the character who was willing to fight and protect his friends even at the cost of his own life, as we saw when he helped fight Kizaru to save Zoro (you even showed the clip). Dressrosa is an arc where Usopp couldn't allow others to bear the weight of his lies because he realized it was cruel so he forced himself to bear that weight in order to give himself courage. Otherwise, perfect video.

After having read/watched Water 7/Enies Lobby at least 5 times i would have thought that i caught all the underlines in the writing, and yet i NEVER realized the parallel between Ussopp and Spandam. Great video as always Crafts, can't wait for more One Piece.

Ussop hammer, ussop hammer, USSOP HAMMER!

It's hard to pick a favorite straw hat, but Usopp always had a soft spot in my heart ever since the Arlong Park arc, and that spot has been sealed since Little Garden and his promise to become a brave warrior of the sea and visit Elbaf. I can relate to him in a way since I am not the strongest nor the bravest person around, when compared to everyone around me. This video was great and really explains Usopp as a character, and his growth as a character throughout the series well. Other channels tend to hype up and focus more on the more prominent and stronger members of the crew, leaving characters like Usopp and Chopper behind. Yes. Usopp will always be one of the weakest, if not be the weakest, member of the crew, and that's all right. I really believe that Usopp's character can be fully realized once we reach Elbaf, and I finally get Usopp's character growth that I have been excited for since Little Garden. I kinda went on a tangent there- my bad lol. At the end of the day I really rely to his struggles and his character. After all, he is just human in a world where giants and other super humans exist.

Great video. I love Usopp's character because this type of character being as long-lasting and as permanent in a coming of age shonen manga is semi-rare. Although Oda is in general the absolute master of character development: not only are they relatable, he somehow manages to make them an embodiment of a certain idea or an ideology. And it's not like the Straw Hats are what all the "good ideas" are used on, making the villains/allies weaker. No, he just does it all. What a madlad.

I love this video. It always helps me to be like Usopp, to learn from one's mistakes and to become stronger. One day I will beat my depression and become what I always wanted to be. Thank you Usopp and thank you Craftsdwarf!

hey, im a huge fan of usopp. probably the biggest ive ever known. usopp means the world to me, and i love analyzing his character and his acts no matter how goofy he will get. hes probably my favorite fictional character of all time. also, on the whole "do what you can" lesson, usopp preached the same thing to chopper shortly after chopper joined the crew. it was something that chopper kept in mind throughout alabasta, especially throughout the mr. 4 and mrs. merry christmas fight. those words resonated within chopper, just like im sure sanji's words resonated through usopp. its funny how usopp had to be told something he knew well in order to succeed. never following his own advice. i relate to that heavily, too. thank you for this video, man! its wonderful to see people actually putting across who usopp actually is. i cannot express to you how much it frustrates me when fans write him off as annoying and useless, because he isnt.

I admit I didn't like Usopp when I was first introduced to him. However, after the Alabasta Climax, he quickly rose to be one of my favorite characters. He is a character who knows his flaws and weaknesses but does his best for those around him regardless. That is something we ALL can relate too.

You pretty much just summed up why Usopp is my favorite strawhat. I love that he's intentionally written to be the weakest strawhat; it makes his victories feel a lot more earned in my mind because with him there is a sincere chance of failure, more so than any other character. I relate to him because I know what it's like to feel like the weak link in your crew, simply because you don't understand where your true strength lies. Usopp isn't one of the monster trio. He isn't a powerhouse who can solve his problems by punching through everyone he meets . . . and he shouldn't be that. he's the guy for outside-the-box solutions and picking people off from afar.

Theres a strong theme with all of Luffy's opponents. They all have a strong dream and incredible strength and endurance. Usopp is one of Luffy's opponents...

Best One Piece content on youtube along Mr. Morj.

So many big one piece youtubers have such a low opinion of Usopp... It's was good to come across this video...

He breaks your heart and at the same time fills you with hope, laughter and curiosity.

Wow. I think this is the first piece of one piece content I've ever seen that dosnt pull the "We're all gonna pretend we don't know usopp and sniper king is the same person" and it kinda gave me whiplash for a second there 😂

The date of this video is so good because its usopp BIRTHDAY

Really loved the video. You pointed out basically what I admire in Usopp, good job! And the fact that this was uploaded on the 1st of April only makes this better

I now love Usopp more than I did before, have more apreciation for Enies Lobby and have a better understanding of Oda's writting. Damn.

Finally a decent Usopp video. You are the GOAT good sir.

Happy birthday Ussop : ) He was the MVP of Ennies Lobby, along with Franky. He saved Robin : D

Ussop Is one of my favorite characters in one piece because of his development.

I cannot explain why but for some reason this video really hit me in my feels. I can say Thank you very much for this video. So few people give Ussop his due that I truly appreciated this video. Recently (within the past 3 years or so), I have come to think of Ussop as the strongest Strawhat, you helped define my felling of this in a way I can tell others. He only has his wits, and well trained muscles and reflexes having no real nat talent outside of badass sniper skills. Yet unlike even Nami he is always limited by his items and wit having nothing else but when it came time for Dressrosa, who was seen as the largest threat by a seriously crafty and cool headed foe like Dofy... it was not Luffy or Law that had the highest bounty was it? No, Ussop was called God and given the largest Bounty. I am begining to think that he may acquire a similar feat in Wano...

April Fool's joke or not, I see Usopp in the title. Insta-like! Edit: awesome stuff dude. Good serious content on Usopp. Thanks for the video!

Amazing video elaborating why Usopp is a great character. Personally, I really want to see you tackle the topic of character development in One Piece. I feel that it would be an interesting one considering the flak One Piece gets for its supposed lack of it.

The best adaptation of Pinocchio :) He’s a Miles Gloriosus (TV trope)

These Viewpoints you presented are extraordinary and i never really look at ussops conficts and fights in this way. Im glad I watched this Video. Thanks!

I appreciate the analysis on Ussop in Dressrosa. A lot of people tend to overlook Ussop’s development in Dressrosa as a full on regression on his character and play it as part of the “post time skip doesn’t have any character development”.

-he was still someone who could be relied on, even if he had trouble relying on himself.

I live for these kinds of analysis videos. Great job!

Always nice to find a video about your favorite characters... Thanks.

Dude these videos are so GOOD. I just found out about them yesterday and already watched 4 in a row. These are BOMB

The way this video starts made me what to rewatch the Syrup Village arc again. It's very underrated.

You always blow my mind with your videos. Most videos I've watched only reassert my own observations upon a particular subject in the series, but your content never fails to amaze me with your fresh perspectives.

Low key usopp is easily most underrated adaptation of Pinocchio, the anime sucked asss but damn this manga fire

I never noticed that parallel between Spandam and Usopp but it makes a tremendous amount of sense

Great video, I never considered Spandam as a foil for Usopp, so that was a nice touch. Also, your braver then I am, because your actually able to upload a serious video on April fools.

Great summary of one of my favorite characters in fiction. Gonna send it friends who don't seem to appreciate him.

I'm loving all the videos today lol

Really nice analysis/summary.

So glad to see someone not hatting on him this is basically all the reasons why he's my fav character

This channel really needs more subscribers

This is the first video I've ever seen of yours and it might be one of my favorite one piece videos I've seen on KZfaq

Usopp is my favourite character. But I would've mentioned it was also relevant in Syrup Village that he felt partially responsible. Having said that everything else was spot on!

Can't wait for the Elbaf Arc !!

Great work keep it up man!

This was so informative. Thank you.

Great video man

really good video,you did a 180 on my impressions on usopp

Okay so I almost thought this was an april fisrt vid but Usopp deserves this appreciation. Thank you.

That feeling when you forget who you support on patreon, then hear your name at the end of what I thought was another video on my feed. Glad to see the one piece content coming, real good stuff!

I'm not sure if I feel like crying because I love usopp so much or I needed to hear a lot of this but thanks. Also you're pumping out videos really quick lately, they're still just as good but be sure not to rush yourself.

awesome vid man :D

One of my favourite characters in fiction. Definitely my favourite in One Piece

This is exactly why Usopp is my favourite One Piece character

Great video!

Usopp: The Hero we didn't know we deserved.

People aren't brave because they have no fear. It's overcoming your fear and facing it head on that makes you brave.

Great video

that's why Usopp is my favorite character in One Piece he's so relatable

You point out EXACTLY why Usopp is MY favorite One Piece character..... you, sir, have earned my subscribing!!

I legit teared up

This is actually super awesome wtf

Amazing video :)

This Video Is Worthy Of Usopp. What An Incredible Deconstruction And Reconstruction Of A Fan Favorite Of One Piece

Thanks for reminding me about what Usopp is going to do at the end of the story: return home to a hot noblewoman's bedroom and tell her stories of his adventures that are even more far-fetched than his lies.

This was a fucking great video on my boy USOPP! Definitely want more 👍

Amazing tier

A well deserved video for our lord and savior God Usopp

I really liked that you did not use some cheap music in the background. I always find that distracting.

That was dope

Gold as your tongue may be. you cannot convince me that ussop challenging luffy to own the ship which was already going to be abandoned was not pointless. he really could have just skipped the fight and took the ship. all he really did in the end,was get beat up over in inanimate object. putting said object over the lives of his crew. he was a fool who was in the wrong, he even knew this and still did it anyway... - that aside, really well thought out video,fantastic job!

Great video. Subscriber added

Fighting an impossible fight isn't heroic, it's stupid.

You should do more character analysis. They are quite good and enjoyable. New subscriber

Despite what it seems usopp is probably one of the smartest and realest of the straw hats apart from Nico Robin

Usopp has a farther reach than the Rubber man in the Water Seven Arc

Wait usopp was sogeking??!!

*only glances at video title* *starts crying*

I was waiting for the joke the whole time

That moment u think about the whole scenario behind his wanted poster. The rest is history.

Dressrosa is when I finally realized I like Usopp

I: cried.

Another scene in Enies Lobby that fits the theme are also Nami using her thieving abilities to steal a key from Kumadori even when she was outmatched or argueably Usopp swaying the giants to his side.
