| Jesus that was dragged out so fucking much Still, Usopp used observation haki??? Finally they reach Doflamingo. Toei is trash. |
| Another episode for Ussop and his special bullet!!! Finally, Luffy and Law in front of Flamingo!!!! kekeke |
| Mostly everyone is accounted for now. There are some loose ends, like whatever the heck Burgess is doing and obviously the Big Mam plotline, but wow this is a climax. This entire episode was the final push. All the stakes were set, Sugar was the biggest threat imaginable, a little girl, that Law and Luffy both didn’t know, and whomst could take them both out in a single touch. If Law wanted to be safe, he should have just cut her in half and went back to her later, but he didn’t do that, and she did amazing. Her acting was on point, she went from straight psycho to an ugly crying baby in a second flat and she was pretty cute when she was pouting. I was questioning why she was taking so long but I suppose sudden movements may actually result in the Law cutting her in half to be a safe scenario, and without knowledge of God Usopp’s insane ability, she had nothing to fear. She played it safe and played an amazing character as well. While that was going on, we had everyone defend Usopp together while refusing to hurt the citizens, even Kanjuro joined in as Kin’emon’s ally and they stood together making a blockade. While this was happening and Sugar got closer and closer to Luffy, Viola and Usopp showed how amazing they were working together. Viola was able to give Usopp every single detail necessary to shoot something that far away. That on top of his Nami-esque ability to read the wind and put that information together, sporting a specifically made weapon with a long range launching shell, meant he had every tool necessary to do this. It honestly made me want her to join the crew, she has such an amazing ability. But that wasn’t enough, for Usopp to do this he needed to have courage, the moment of him shaking and nearly crying was a great addition because it reminded us that he’s human, that the pressure that if he misses this shot then they won’t even know they lost their hope and his friend was crushing. But before even tapping into what I can only imagine is observational haki, he pulled himself together on will alone, it was impressive. As for if that was observational haki, to fit with the consistent blue color palette, it made me realize that I bet every God sniper out there uses it, and it makes sense that now is when Usopp would tap in. He trained hard for two years, and further, haki comes out when people need it most when it’s innate and untrained. He tapped into it and saw the aura of the three and that was the final step as he fired his shot. Yet again Usopp-Sugar reminds me of Usopp-Perona in a sense. The other reasons have already been stated but even in this moment, Usopp was put in a situation where he was the only person who could fight against the opponent as the opponent has a skill that the others could not counter. A difference is this time was due to ignorance, not the negative hollows, but it still created the same dynamic. Further, the way Usopp took both Perona and Sugar out was by scaring them to the point of passing out, he traumatized Perona with cockroaches in a fake bowling ball and a huge fake hammer and he re-traumatized Sugar by having Kanjuro paint his face when he ate the spicy grape. That is such an amazing choice, to make the traumatized Sugar be more than a joke, but the second way Usopp took her down. Some people may have criticized God Usopp for his cowardice when Robin had turned and his win of luck when he first took Sugar down, I am not one such person, yet I hope here, as he took the 2nd round against her with pure skill, that people have come around to him. His role in Dressrosa is fantastic and the way he did this for Luffy, and everyone realized how amazing he was as they congratulated him and they got caught, no longer needing to fight, it was sweet. So sweet. Even if Luffy doesn’t know it, Usopp is so glad to have kept him safe. This led to the ramification of Gladius now being alone and surrounded by his opponents which is not good for him, and for Luffy and Law to progress. They landed directly in front of Doflamingo and Trebol, most of the executives are fighting the contestants, Diamante is busy with Kyros, Pica with Zoro, and it looks like we’re about to start this two versus two battle. The pose of Luffy and Law standing in the wind in front of the two, Doflamingo sitting and Trebol with snot pouring out of his nose was so dynamic and cool and this was just such a beautiful way to lead into this confrontation. These last two episodes have kept this sense of excitement strong. Edit: I just wanted to edit this post because this episode was so awesome and I didn't rightfully express everything. It felt too much like summary in retrospect. This represents how Usopp has lived up to both of his names, God Usopp and Usoland. How he's literally saved this country twice! As much as Luffy is Dressrosa's hope, Usopp is the glue holding Dressrosa together and he was recognized for that. I liked the little things, like Usopp saying he didn't want to imagine a sea without Luffy. Or the fact that his balloon etched into the palace wall, signifying that he's just left a mark in history, an odd face that few will understand but which represents his fight, humorously coming off as possibly a rebellious teens graffiti on the kings wall. The big moments of the slow shot flying through the sky gave such a sense of scale, it let us feel firsthand how shocking his sniping was. I'm sure a lot of this is my inherent love for Usopp but I think it's been well done and I'm just proud of my boy. I also love how hilarious Sugar passing out was after such a heartfelt and dramatic moment, once again meshing the humour to enhance everything else! |

| GO D. USOPP's HAKI FINALLY AWAKENS! What a great episode dude. Finally Luffy Law vs Doflamingo begins! |
| Wait, did Law not know who Sugar was? Also, the thought of Usopp with clairvoyance is really scary. It's cool that as a sniper, he's currently working with Violet as a spotter, but if Usopp somehow managed to get an ability to see long distances and predict movements, that would get pretty crazy. Edit: Oh, that glow was supposed to be Observation Haki? Well, okay then. That would do it. |

| Perhaps the coolest thing Usopp has ever done? Also, his character developed even further... finally using haki? Amazing. Ahhhh and getting to see Luffy as a toy, even if it was just an imagination. On a side note though, I really wish we could see Sanji and crew on the boat, it somehow feels incomplete with them not being there :( |
 |
| Seeing Usopp miss that one big shot made me feel immeasurable disappointment so I'm really glad that the whole unfortunate turn of events was all just in his head. Usopp acquiring Haki at the very last second and defeating Sugar was definitely one of the series' most epic moments and I'm impressed that he actually starred in 3 of the arc's highlights. |

| GOD USOPPP !!!!!!!!!!!! AAA I JUST LOVE IT WHENEVR HE GOES INTO THIS SNIPER MODE ASKHASKJD (the dreaming part of usopp made my heart stop though) BUT HE S COOL AS HECKKKK |

Dear anime viewer, do you yourself a favour and read this epicness in the manga, because anime butchered it so hard it's not even funny. You're missing the whole point of anime existence , theres no animation in manga , no voice , no ost , you cant compare anime and manga cause you're comparing 2 diferent things , even the story is diferent , some part are removed while some are added And in any cases , why ppl that want to watch anime would only read manga , they could use that time to do what they like the most , like watching more anime Make us a favour , stop watching anime , you're not made for them |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |

If anime that has benefits of animation, voice and ost can't portray the scene at least as good as black and white static images, then it failed and you're just making excuses. Check last week's episode to see how anime can surpass the manga in every possible way, because it is possible. This episode simply failed to do so. |

| Our buy Usopp turned on Hacks... Aimbot at its peak. Lets goo... |
 |
| Usopp's Haki :D From Usopp to sogeking to God!!!!! |
| The Sogeking theme song should be the Dressrosa national anthem. All #1000 versions of them! |
 |
| I love Usopp bro he’s the goat |
 |
| Usopp’s observation haki awakens. I am proud of him. Now time for Mingo buttobasu!!! |
| GOD USOPP HAS AWAKENED HAKI!! Luffy turning into the Luffy Bomber toy from Chopper Man is amazing too |
 |
| Omg i really thought Usopp was failed. God damn. Hey that's Luffy bomber from Chopper Man filler episodes LMAO GOD USOPP did it again!! USOPP used Observation Half?? |
 |
| That thing that Usopp made was absolutely terrifying. Oh my God. |
| GOD USSOP GOD USSOP GOD USSOP (holy cow, the pacing is atrocious for this arc) |
| Usopp is a damn good sniper ! Also did he just use Haki ? |
| I was so hyped I'm so happy for Usopp LET'S GO!!! |
| this epi can rival the frieza staredown pace of dbz. |
| I didn't think anything of it in the preview last episode because I knew Usopp was going to hit his mark. But the imagination moment did manage to get me. That brief moment of thinking "Oh shit! He actuallly missed?! before returning to reality. But Usopp finally gets a power up! Observation Haki for the sniper who will never ever miss :D Now we get Luffy and Law vs Doflamingo and Trebol (plus likely an unwilling Bellamy). As much as I want to see as much of that fight a possible and not have them stalling constantly, I still want to see the Zoro vs Pica fight come to a close. They already cucked Zoro by giving him so little proper screentime this arc and then didn't even give him most of the episode where he used his new attack. Let the swordsman have his limelight moment please. And something that's bugged me for a while now. What the hell happened with CP-0? I can't remember them leaving, and I was sure there was more to their prescence on the island than just announcing the resignation report as being an 'error'. Or did they seriously send the highest level CP group for such a menial task? |
 |
| Man what a peak Usopp moment. His best fighting moment. This was even better then what he did to persona in thriller barck. I did actually fall for it for a second and thought he missed. But he came through with some observation hacki it seems. When law and Luffy hit the top vs flamingo and the music played was amazing. Finally made it |
| GOD Usopp A S C E N D E D |
