I wish Usopp have more fic. There are so many things that people can write about Usopp, like it so sad. Pls write some more of my beautiful man.

hey! i saw ur post about tr and I didn’t see the mikey and mitchy friendship matching usopp and luffy till now. and chopper and chifuyu is unexpectedly fitting too.

but i was wondering why you thought to compare mikey and mitchy to usopp and luffy when they don’t seem so similar at first.

sorry. i can’t word it right. i hope you get what im trying to ask. and i know this isn’t a tr sideblog but i didn’t expect u to mention tokyo revengers. n i didn’t expect u to make it about one piece too 😅.

Hey! Thanks for the ask. 😆

What’s funny is that my sister was the one who first tried to get me into Tokyo Revengers. she was watching the anime in the background, and when I asked what it was, she explained, “You know how One Piece is about pirates? This is basically that, but with gangs.” Then she told me the protagonist was “the Usopp,” the gang leader was “the Luffy,” and his right-hand man was “the Zoro.”

Naturally, I was annoyed by the Usopp comparison at first. It’s complicated whenever I come across an unconventional male shonen protagonist who gets immediately classified as weak. Plus, with everything happening in One Piece and Elbaf, I’d been too exhausted to get invested in another anime 🙄. So, I ignored her.

Then, while reading some fun Usopp discussions online, I found someone comparing Luffy and Usopp’s friendship to other famous fictional friendships. They mentioned Takemitchy and Mikey, and I immediately thought, “Wait. Aren’t those the two characters my sister compared to Usopp and Luffy?”

I went back to her and asked what their names were. In her very helpful way, she said, “Mitchy something and… Mikey?” 😭 Once I confirmed the names, I decided, fine. I’m reading the manga.

I finished it basically in one sitting and was crying by the end.

And yeah, I completely understood the comparison. (vague spoilers start here)

Out of everyone in the Straw Hats, Usopp is the only person who has genuinely fought Luffy and meant it. I honestly don’t think most of the others could bring themselves to do that. But I also think that, if Luffy ever truly needed to be saved from himself, Usopp’s will would be strong enough to lead everyone and say, “just help me get close enough. I’ll do what I have to do.”

Like Takemitchy, Usopp would admit that he was terrified. He would admit that he didn’t want to die. And then he would do it anyway

Takemitchy tells Mikey that he is his friend for life and that, no matter how many times it takes, he will keep coming back to save him. That is the kind of intensity I’ve always felt was possible between Usopp and Luffy. We see glimpses of it in Water 7, Dressrosa, and even a little in Stampede, but I wish their friendship was explored that deeply more often.

At the center of both friendships is this incredibly strong, charismatic leader who becomes attached to someone everyone else dismisses as a weak crybaby. Early in Tokyo Revengers, people (other gang member) constantly wonder why Takemitchy follows Mikey around and, more importantly, why Mikey allows it. Even the way Mikey casually invites him into Toman reminded me of Luffy and Usopp. They connect through dreams, and neither Mikey nor Luffy looks down on the “coward” beside him. They genuinely admire him. Like, even Takemitchy was thinking he going to be the leader of Toman one day, and that reminded me of Usopp’s captain bit.

making comparisons between the East Blue boys and the Toman members ended up being surprisingly effortless. The Black Dragon Christmas fight in the church especially gave me Arabasta and Skypiea vibes. Mitsuya felt like Sanji, a talented fighter who arrives at the perfect moment and helps take control of the situation. Takemitchy felt like Usopp, getting beaten bloody but refusing to abandon his position. Chifuyu felt like Chopper, loyal, supportive, and doing everything he could to protect the friend he believed in.

Draken also somehow helped me understand Zoro more. He is firm, takes the role Mikey gave him extremely seriously, follows his captain’s decisions, and will step forward for anyone who is too frightened to fight. Even their ridiculous, unserious sides match.

And Chifuyu’s friendship with Takemitchy reminded me so much of Chopper’s relationship with Usopp. Chifuyu’s loyalty feels incredibly genuine and human He believes Takemitchy even when everyone else doubts him, and honestly, I finished the manga wishing I had a friend like him. 😭

Chopper will always be in his own special category for me, though. Seeing how deeply he admires, trusts, and believes in Usopp makes me ridiculously happy every time.

I could genuinely go on forever, but that’s basically how my sister accidentally got me obsessed with Tokyo Revengers.

can you give me a hug rn?

the usopp slander and sh*tty takes is starting to get to me.

at this point is usopp just gunna get elbaf crumbs?

do you really think he has any more story left?

wes, as his lawyer, what's the verdict as of now?

guilty or not guilty?

yasopp isn't my favorite person but I'm starting to jump on the “don't hate yasopp” train too. i hate being this stuck. i feel so delulu rn. ugly. i reread w7 and then wanted to throw the last volume to the water 7 saga in the trash and pile dog sh*t on top of it. how are you getting through this? are u thinking of leaving the fandom?

(if u don’t answer this i completely get it. but your posts get me through these dark usopp times. because dressrosa happened a lifetime ago and people keep making it a point to remind usoppians that in a really ugly way).

- blu 💙

hey, blu. first off, you made me realize i’d accidentally turned off my DMs, so thank you for that. 😭 but since you sent this as an ask, i’m going to answer it here and respect the fact that you reached out this way.

come here. seriously. biggest hug. 🫂

i understand exactly where you are right now because i was there during my brief hiatus. the constant Usopp slander, the smug takes, and the uncertainty surrounding Elbaf can really start eating at you. but One Piece isn’t supposed to make you miserable, and spiraling over every possibility will only make this period hurt more. been there, done that.

so here is my official verdict as Usopp’s lawyer:

not guilty. never guilty. and he is not going to jail on my watch.

regardless of what Elbaf ultimately gives him, Usopp is still loved. there are still people who recognize that something feels wrong about how he has been handled and refuse to dress that discomfort up as anything prettier than it is. Oda never officially promised that Elbaf would be “Usopp’s arc,” sure, but that does not mean fans were unreasonable for expecting meaningful payoff after years of connecting Usopp to giants, warriors, bravery, and Elbaf itself.

and even if Usopp receives a major moment here, i don’t think his story can—or should—end with that.

i genuinely believe there is more left for him. Yasopp alone connects Usopp to unfinished business from Syrup Village, Shanks and Luffy, sniping, and Haki. Then there is Usopp’s Observation Haki, Van Augur, his dream, his lies coming true, and all the emotional material Oda has left untouched. People once assumed Brook’s story was essentially finished too, and Elbaf proved otherwise. One Piece still has room to surprise us.

Elbaf itself is not over either. This is the land of warriors, giants have been tied to Usopp for too long to dismiss, and his entire fighting style lends itself to a David-and-Goliath moment. Fans have also suggested weapon upgrades, Ragnir, or even Usopp staying behind to train. Those are not necessarily my favorite theories, but at this point, i am willing to keep the door open.

My point is that there are simply too many loaded guns sitting on the table. It would be genuinely awful writing to build all of that around Usopp and then leave it unexplored.

And if this truly is all Elbaf gives him, people cannot simultaneously laugh in Usopp fans’ faces and insist that the arc handled everything perfectly. If the payoff never comes, then Elbaf failed Usopp in a very specific and painful way. His fans are allowed to say that. Oda is a writer, not a god above criticism.

I’m not planning to leave the fandom, but I may step back whenever I need to protect my peace. Loving Usopp should not require sitting through people degrading him every day. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is close the app, return to the parts of his story you love, and let the fandom scream into an empty room for a while.

So yes, blu, this is a painful and exhausting period for Usopp fans. Your disappointment is valid. Your fear is valid. None of that makes you delusional or ugly. It means you cared, you invested in the story, and you expected the narrative to honor what it spent years building.

But Elbaf isn’t over. Yasopp still exists. One Piece isn’t over. Usopp’s story still contains too many unanswered questions for me to declare the case closed.

That’s where my heart lives.

So come grieve with me for a minute. We’ll grab the Kleenex, complain about how messy this has been, and then keep holding on together.

Here’s your hug. 🫂💙

Hc

Usopp really likes idol groups and stuff like that but hides it because he thinks it’s stupid. Sometimes it will come up in conversation and he’ll know just a lil’ to much about it but he’ll play it off. Everyone knows and just thinks it’s funny he doesn’t tell them (they have bets on it and everything).

He has merch and everything…..

[badgerhuan]

begging people to recognize that Zoro not stepping in anymore after seeing Usopp's reaction to the fact that Merry can't be fixed is not just because of his loyalty to Luffy, but also because he's honoring Usopp's autonomy to make his own decisions.

his silence is an active choice he made out of respect for both of them, not just Luffy.
