Okay But What If Yasopp Isn’t on Paper (tl;dr)

(possible spoilers 🚨)

Hear me out. I had another eureka moment and I really needed to get this out.

What if Yasopp isn’t rarely mentioned because he’s underwritten, but because he genuinely doesn’t have a bounty and was never recorded by the Marines at all?

I’m being serious here 😳.

I know some of y’all might immediately think, “Okay, but then why would Shanks recruit him?” And honestly, we don’t have that answer yet. But when you actually look at what we’ve been shown, certain things start to feel very intentional.

For example, in Syrup Village, no one says Yasopp’s name. At all. I went back and checked the dialogue. He’s never name-dropped by villagers. The only person who ever says his name is Luffy, and that’s because Luffy didn’t know the Red Hair Pirates by reputation. He knew them through direct interaction and familiarity. That distinction matters.

So when Shanks approaches Yasopp all those years ago and calls him out by name, I don’t think Yasopp was just surprised because some random red-haired guy sailed up to him and struck up a conversation. I think Shanks noticed him in a way Yasopp did not want to be noticed. Somewhere in the East Blue, Yasopp likely showed his marksmanship from the shadows, never intending to be seen, and Shanks being Shanks clocked it immediately without Yasopp realizing. That’s probably why Shanks went out of his way to find him.

This is where my whole idea of Yasopp being Shanks’ best kept secret or hidden gem really comes into play.

What Yasopp did at the start of the Elbaf arc reads very differently when you think about it this way. To me, that moment felt like Yasopp finally stepping out of the shadows because his observation haki told him the odds. Not in a flashy way, not out of cruelty, but because he calculated that letting Barto go would cause bigger problems for the long-term goal the Red Hair Pirates have been orbiting for years.

I’m not trying to oversell Yasopp’s Color of Observation, but it’s already been implied in multiple ways that his observation is exceptional. We haven’t been told he has future sight, sure, but if we take what One Piece Film Red hinted at seriously, his observation is clearly on another level. This is the same man who could detect Kid’s crew recovering from kilometers away when they were approaching Elbaf. That is not normal awareness. That’s insane perception.

So to me, Yasopp functions as the man in the shadows for Shanks. The observer. The contingency. The surprise. The one who delivers only when absolutely necessary. His role is to shoot and remain unseen. And I wouldn’t be surprised if he genuinely believed that staying unrecorded was a way of keeping his family safe. That anonymity might have been intentional, even principled.

Collectively, yes, the Red Hair Pirates are known. We saw that during the Summit War. But just like the Straw Hats, most crews don’t start out with bounties across the board. Yasopp could simply be so good at evading Marines that there is no formal record of him at all. He was never caught. Never properly identified. Never processed.

And if you think about Banchina, it also makes sense that she would simplify or withhold parts of Yasopp’s life from Usopp. A small child would not be able to process what it means for your father to live deliberately unseen because being known would put people in danger. I’ve talked about this in other posts, but Banchina protecting Usopp by omission feels very plausible to me.

What really seals this for me is that Yasopp has never been name-dropped by villains, no one has mentioned a bounty tied to him, and Usopp has never stumbled across a wanted poster with his dad’s name on it. Oda does not do that accidentally. If there were something to reveal, he would have used it by now. The absence itself is the information.

And I’m not saying any of this to downplay Yasopp, unhype him, or put him on fraud watch 🙄. If anything, this makes him more compelling. It makes him elusive. It makes him dangerous in a quiet way. And it leaves a lot still unexplored.

Maybe very recently, Yasopp has consciously chosen to step out of hiding. Maybe he understands that the crew can’t afford missteps anymore as their long game comes to a head. Shanks recruited him for a reason. And it is meaningful that an arc we’ve been anticipating for Usopp starts with his father pulling the trigger.

I’ve already written about there being more to Yasopp leaving, and I’ll link that essay below. But I truly think Yasopp doesn’t have a bounty. That scrapped Garp Water 7 scene may have been cut precisely because Oda didn’t want Yasopp “found out” yet. No one should know him on that level if he doesn’t have a record.

On paper, he’s just a guy with very good eyesight and aim. Harmless. Right?

We’ll see.

And yes, Daddy Masterson still wanting to duel Yasopp works under this logic too. He was a Marine who saw a pirate and challenged him. Nothing more. And Van Augur’s reaction at Marineford is also telling. When Yasopp pointed his gun back at him, that didn’t look like recognition. That looked like surprise. Like realizing the Red Hair Pirates weren’t just protected by Shanks, but by a sniper no one had properly accounted for.

So maybe Yasopp exists more as myth than man in the pirate world. A presence people feel but can’t place. And the scary part is that he actually has the skill to back it up.

He just hasn’t been found out yet.

As of now, Shanks is the only Red-Haired Pirate with a confirmed bounty reveal. Whether the rest have bounties or not hasn’t been clarified, but Yasopp’s continued absence from Marine framing feels especially intentional.

With the exception of Charmy, the male Mobian characters don't wear clothes or have pockets. So where does Espio keep his kunai and shuriken? Does he carry them with his tail?

When they almost didn't graduate after their mess-up, and were thinking about repeating a year...

I love them so much. I mean, I know I'm screaming and saying this everywhere all the time, but I really wish I had friends like that, that stick to you through thick and thin until the end.

I really appreciate the fact that Kazuomi and Kei both value and respect Yuzu and his worth so much that they're willing to step back for him to go forward. And of course, Yuzu would never accept that

Episode 0: The Legendary Rebels Meet Part 3

[miss0atae]

Khonthup has released the episode 0 of Doctor's Mine and I watched it so you don't have to. This episode is an introduction to the series and it gives more in-deep what we can expect from the series. It's an interview where the director, producer and the six main actors answer few questions about the series.

Doctor's Mine is the series version of two combined books "Gown and Gear" and "Extern" by I'm Mynt, with four main characters who are interconnected. In their way of wanting to show the diversity of teenage love, the producer decided to add two more couples in the series.

Both the director and producer said that there are a lot of BL nowadays and they are aware of this fact. Their inspiration for this series was to show the atmosphere of BL from before and to return to the basic (that's why we're seeing engineers again). They are targeting an audience who is nostalgic of BLs happening in a university setting and that focus on friendship, love and family. The story takes place in Chiang Mai, in the North of Thailand.

Long Lee is playing Knight, an engineering student. When dealing with his problem, Knight chooses to keep everything for himself.

Arm is playing Mild, a medical student. He is quietly stubborn and quite naughty.

Mon is playing Per, an engineering student. Per is a romantic person: tough on the outside, but soft in the inside. He is also serious and sincere.

Park is playing a medical student called Kan. He is someone who keeps his feelings for himself and he is afraid of speaking them out. He thinks he is in control of his emotions.

Top is playing Tum a medical student. Top said his personality is close to the character he is playing, but he didn't give more info about it.

Krismon is playing Tonklah who is another medical student. This character is confident and loves his friends.

The main couple Knight and Mild will share a love that is deeply rooted and long lasting. They are supposed to represent the idealistic love everyone aspire to have.

The second couple Per and Kan are more spontaneous and "flashy" (?). It will happen suddenly and they will fall in love without knowing when it began.

Tum and Tonklah are representing the good old friends-to-lovers trope. They will show what's happening when there are hidden feelings for a friend.

Finally, they gave some info about the GL couple which I believe is an original creation only for the series. They didn't have their name and unfortunately MDL hasn't updated the page, so I will just add what they said in the video. They will embody the idea that "if you hurt, I hurt too" kind of bond.

They didn't have a lot of time to shoot the series and there were many people to work with. So, they worked a lot to do all the scenes they had to make in Chiang Mai. They said they only had 10 days so no one took any breaks. It was challenging, but everyone was well-prepared.

They also talked about their partnership, the most memorable scene or performance in the series and they finally ended this episode with their hope that everyone will enjoy the series.

The Pilot Episode is a test/experimental episode and will be the only episode written in POV style and second person singular.

Pilot Episode is also a sequel of this Tumblr post, posted almost a year ago... The rest of the story will be told in third person, with occasional first-person inner thoughts + improvements. Descriptions in this episode are more detailed to boost immersion, future writing will be lighter in tone.

‼️ Trigger warnings: Wet sounds, claustrophobia, restrained/held captive, graphic descriptions, and a jumpscare at 9:36.

✨​ Credits : 🤎​ @shinyeclair – Writing, video editing, some sound design, asset searching, sprite linearts+colors+alt expressions 🧡​ @erineas – Base sketches for all sprites+alt poses+alt outfits, consultant, support and advice 💜​ @unnamedcrane – Consultant, support and advice

Fun facts about the episode ! (SPOILERS)

Fern’s tongue click is actually mine bc I couldn’t find a sound design that captured that specific annoyed tongue click.

The jumpscare honestly scared me so much during editing that I had to take a break...

I distorted some free sound effects to create Fern’s Gaster Blaster shot.

This video is my very first one made on CapCut. I’ve learned a lot since then while making Episode 1 !

I hated writing in second person. Ugh, never again…
