Usopp is the Straw Hat Crew’s comedian..

(and everyone else just has good timing).

So, I came across a YouTube video a while back ranking the Straw Hats by who’s the funniest. Luffy was #1 and Usopp was #2. And look, the biased Usopp fan in me was triggered. I was like—wait a minute! Usopp is the comic relief! He’s had some of the most iconic funny moments in the series! But the more I thought about it, the more I realized—Luffy is funny too, just in a different way. His deadpan reactions, lack of social awareness, and occasional shady one-liners are hilarious in their own right.

But then it hit me—there’s a difference between being funny and keeping your audience entertained. Some characters are effortlessly funny, but Usopp is a performer. He knows how to hold a crowd.

It actually reminded me of a common sitcom trope: the main character and their comedian friend both audition for a comedy show or try to entertain a crowd. The main character, with zero experience, suddenly gets all the laughs. Meanwhile, the comedian friend flops and starts doubting themselves. But then comes a moment when the main character bombs—they can’t connect with the crowd. And it’s the pro—the comedian—who saves the day. Why? Because they know their audience. They've done this before.

Examples? In The Loud House, Lincoln temporarily takes over Luan’s comedy gig, only to totally flop when performing for a tough crowd—until Luan swoops in with her mime routine and wins them over. Or that Fresh Prince episode where DL Hughley guest stars as Will’s comedian friend. Will’s charm works... until it doesn’t. Then DL steps in and shows what seasoned funny really looks like.

So yeah—Luffy is funny. Several Straw Hats are. But Usopp? Usopp is the one who keeps the crowd going. He has performance chops. He’s a storyteller. He’s got cringe humor, self-deprecation, dramatic flair, and raw honesty. He’s not just funny—he’s entertaining. And to me, that’s a whole different tier of humor.

No shade to the other Straw Hats. I just want to remind folks why Usopp is in a league of his own.

Dear Oda, Stop Playing With Usopp’s Sniper Agenda

So, I was rambling to my sister again the other day (shocker) about Usopp underutilization. And here’s what’s been gnawing at me: since his sniper role is still treated like this mysterious side-gig in canon, did Oda actually plan that? Or did he just toss it in because (a) pirates used muskets, (b) every Shonen needs “the ranged guy,” or (c) guns were simply aesthetic in the 90s when One Piece was first cooking? Like maybe I missed some “Oda Said” in an SBS or interview, but I lowkey feel like the reason we don’t get more sniper shine is less about story and more about… whatever was trendy at the time.

And listen, okay, what really gets me pacing at 3AM is this: why can’t Usopp ever have those over-the-top sniper flex moments where he doesn’t even need to shoot? Just pure skill-check vibes. Show me him flexing his instincts, his awareness, his freaky ability to just know. We think we know how OP snipers operate, but Oda never sits us down and says, “Okay kids, here’s how a sniper actually works.” (Which is tragic, because you know Usopp would eat that spotlight alive).

Like, yeah, fillers gave us glimpses, but imagine if canon Usopp had scenes where he’s like: “Observation Haki? Cute. I already clocked that enemy sniper breathing weird behind a tree 200 yards away.” That’s what I mean. He doesn’t need Haki to do it. He just knows because that’s who he is.

And don’t even get me started on how fans only want to give him his sniper flowers when it suits their argument. Case in point: Egghead arc. Usopp notices the glowing red eyes in the water before anyone else, even the torpedoes, and Usopp fans rightfully went feral. But haters swooped in with the: “Uhhh actually that wasn’t Observation Haki, it was just his sniper eyes.” 🙄 Oh, okay. So now you admit his sniper skills exist when it’s convenient for your little victory lap? Y’all love to play both sides like it’s a buffet.

Anyway. What kills me is that Usopp could’ve been the poster child for why sniping is an art. Not just point-and-shoot. It’s prediction, patience, spatial awareness, reading a battlefield like a chessboard. Haki enhances that, sure, but even before he unlocked it, he was already ridiculous. That’s why I keep wondering when Yasopp popped his Haki cherry and why Garp (in that deleted Water 7 scene) hyped him up, saying nobody escapes Yasopp’s bullet…hence his epithet “Chaser.” That’s legacy.

Ugh. I love Usopp. Truly. But he deserves so much better. This is why fanfiction exists. Because if Oda won’t give my boy his flowers, I will. He’s got that insane spatial awareness, shoots with both eyes open like a pro, and can scout an area faster than anyone else on the crew because hello??? that’s literally sniper 101. Headcanon? No, babes, that’s canon he just hasn’t been allowed to flex yet.

Anyway. That’s my TED Talk. Thanks for coming.

By this point I'm honestly convinced that the jacket-without-a-shirt combo is a genuine male fashion trend in the OPLA world. That's just what all the young trendy and fashion-conscious male pirates and marines are wearing. Which is also why we barely see any of the Straw Hats wearing it because they don't know shit about fashion. And judging by Calico Yorki already rocking the combo some decades prior to the current time it's not one of those quick fashion trends either but something that's pretty much always in season. One of those "you can never go wrong with this combo!" things.

And despite Usopp's protests, Zoro is actually setting a daring new fashion trend here: The jacket-without-a-shirt-without-a-jacket combo aka the just-go-completely-shirtless-what's-the-big-deal style. Taking an old much-loved style and making it completely his own like the absolute pro he is!

Just realized Usopp most likely grew up not knowing how to take proper care of his hair. So now I like to imagine Brook kinda spoke up about how his hair looks a little damaged from improper care. Usopp is at first kind of offended but as Brook explains it he starts to understand better. Turns out he's not actually supposed to use just any shampoo, it's why his hair is so dry. And a good pro tip, Brook, said is to wear a bonnet to bed, too! It can help with the frizziness and split ends and ect he already has now! Eventually this leads to Brook doing Usopp's hair, too. And then the question pops up—how hadn't you learned this already? You're almost a man now, and you've gone all your life not knowing how to simply wash your hair without damaging it? Usopp sheepishly explains that yeah he didn't grow up with any parents or guardian to teach him stuff. His mom died, his dad left for his pirate journey—but he's gonna see him again! ....one day.. B-but! Well. No one in Syrup Village really has his type of hair. His mom had straight hair, it's from his dad, that's where his hair texture is from. But he wasn't around to teach him this stuff. And with the little time he had with his mom, she just used the same routine for him that she used for herself and that's the routine he's been using up until now. Which admittedly made his head itch a lot because of how dry it gets.

Brook is trying his best to hold back tears (wait where do the tears even come from?? He's a skeleton, he doesn't have tear ducts!). But now he's determined! He's determined to teach this young man how to take better care of his hair! And his skin for that matter, too. Oof. Did no one teach him how to keep better care of that either? Poor, kid, so many pimples. But nevermind that! He's got a bigger mission to prepare for! Mission: Make Usopp and Usopp's hair healthier and happier!

Picture this:

Luffy, Shanks, & Buggy all intersect on Laugh Tale. For plot reasons they decide to call a truce & join forces so that they can find the One Piece before everyone else as their crews hold off the other parties. As expected, Buggy keeps picking fights with Shanks & in return Shanks can't help but take the bait because it's too much fun. It's just like old times!

However, Luffy is not only immediately annoyed with them, but seeing Buggy be so mean to Shanks is pissing him off. So when Buggy drags Shanks off to a secluded area & he hears even more yelling he's decided enough is ENOUGH. He's determined to give Shanks backup in shutting up Buggy for good & walks over to where they are, itching to throw a couple punches......only to immediately turn back around and walk away. His face completely red, full of horror, confusion, & mild disgust.

You see, Buggy did indeed drag Shanks away to give him a peace of his mind. Shanks actually wasn't finding the incessant badgering funny anymore either & was truly irritated by now. Except that as soon as they are alone & they start yelling in each other's faces they start getting closer & closer. So close, in fact, that they can feel each other's breathing. Can look right into each other's eyes. Can smell each other. Their lips just centimeters away from touching....

So what does poor Luffy walk in on? Well, he unfortunately gets a very clear view of his father figure & who he believes to be the biggest loser of a pirate ever making out nasty. It's the heated, angry type of kissing. The kind where you can tell they're putting years of pent up energy into it. They're wrapped around each other so tight Luffy can barely tell them apart. Buggy is literally coming apart at the joints while Shanks is making a weird noise between a growl & a moan.

After an excruciating 15 minutes of Luffy having to process what he just witnessed, the culprits reappear trying to act like nothing unusual just happened, but they're noticeably more relaxed.

Luffy is trying not to notice how Buggy's makeup is smudged. Or that it seems to have mysteriously ended up on Shanks' collar. He's ignoring the way Shanks is softly humming a happy tune. He's avoiding looking at what seems to be the start of a hickey forming on Buggy's neck. He most definitely isn't noticing that they're walking a lot closer to each other now, their arms brushing against each other every now & then.

He's decided then & there that he's going to knock them out extra hard once they find the One Piece & the alliance is dissolved. He's gunna make sure it hurts. For causing him emotional distress.

Shanks hating himself for being born a Celestial Dragon just adds to Shuggy I just know it

Like capture the vision with me: if Shanks ever reveals to Buggy (if Buggy doesn’t already know by now) about the whole “treasure chest baby” incident Buggy’s legit reaction would be

“What? And you think that makes you special?? Some fucked up pedigree and I’m supposed to shake in my boots and call you a God??? Bitch I grew up with you, I know what your flat ass looks like when you are naked and nearly died daily to your disgusting dirty socks!!! You drink like a fish, eats like a boar and snores like Richie when he had the flu and wear sandals everywhere because you said “boots are itchy Blue” when we were 10 and the very next day a cannon ball dropped on your pinky and Crocus nearly had to take that shit off!!! AND I WASNT WORRIED ABOUT IT AT ALL YOU HEAR ME!!! YOU HAD THAT COMING AND I DIDNT CRY AND HOLD YOUR HAND YOU ARE REMEMBERING THAT WRONG!!! You ain’t better than me Red, fuck you! You ain’t no god, you are a dirty washed, flat assed, dumb ass pirate at best”

And that would legit just… heal something inside Shanks
