| So we are 673 episodes into the series and this character is still as useless as ever. he never progresses or develop, in every single arc he acts like a little bitch; he never grows a pair. What is the point of having him the series? his cowardly antics were funny at first, but 673 episodes in and its stale as fuck, its down right annoying. After that time skip i had hopes that he might develop, but he is just as useless as he was before. All he does now is just take up screen time, i really wish he gets written off the series. |
| The weird noises and different yells he makes make me laugh. He usually takes care of business if running away isn't an option. |

Not to mention it having to go through his cowardly act every single arc is really tiresome. |
| Admit it, no matter how bad you hate Usopp, You always had that goosebumps whenever he done some shit right. |
 |
| Good for you. |

He is supposed to be a coward, i get that, but he has been through countless fights he should have had some development by now. |
| Yeah even though Usopp is my nigga since hes like one of only 3 black ppl in OP i gotta admit hes garbage and useless. how hes even alive still is beyond me |

If you're talking about the latest episode then I'll give some reason: 1. He just met with the Tontata less than 1 day, of course Usopp want to help them but of course not to the point to risk his own life since they're not even that close, he's not Luffy after all. 2. Tontatta is basically stronger than him, of course Usopp had this "They're stronger than me, they'll be alright" way of thinking. 3. He scared of Trebol. |

Usopp action in the latest episode is far more understandable if you ask me, there're lot more event when he's just gone all pussy far worse than this. He knew what he was getting into though, and still froze up and did nothing. He doesnt have to put his life on the line but he should at least do something. I mean the least he could have done was take that grape and fire it into sugar's mouth using his sling shot, i mean he is supposed to be a sniper right? but all he does is watch, even after all the training he went through for two years. |
| I try to think of him as a more realistic and level headed strawhat. If you watched today's episode you have to admit there isn't much he can do in the current situation and he is well aware of that fact. He might have gotten stronger over the time skip but it wasn't enough to fight head to head with top brass, so ihe runs away and relies on tricks to win his fights.If that doesn't sit well with you its understandable, but I wouldn't go as far as calling him completely useless and undeveloped. |

How is he different from pre-time skip? I am not saying he should be super strong and own everyone left and right like luffy, franky,zoro and sanji. But he should at least buckle down and use his tactics/marksman abilities to contribute rather than being a spectator. He could have served as a distraction for the tonttas or maybe he could have sniped the grape into sugar's mouth. He doesn't have to fight head on , but he at least has to do something. |

Well can't argue with that, I was expecting him to snipe the grape too. I'm still expecting him to take action and do something badass, its just that OP pacing is slow and it might take a while lol. |
|
| Out of the strawhats, as of late I'd have to agree. Definitely not in the whole show though. |
| Yeah I'd rationalize Usopp as the "if you were in one piece character" - the one normal human without any extraordinary strength besides being able to live throughout all the fights so far. He does have good reason to stay hidden and far away from trebol, but it's also pretty baffling that he doesn't even try to snipe that fake grape into sugar's mouth. Is he the most annoying character? Nah Do I wish he would have more independent strength? Yeah On that note, Nami and Chopper aren't that far from Usopp's position. |
Ahkrin said: I think his character is intended for some comic relief, though he say something notable ones in a while. yeah +1, he's the funny one of the whole crew. Expect some badass moments (and growth) from him in next episodes :) Oda put him on another level (higher than nami/usopp/robin) |

| I would argue that Robin is worse. She has awesome Devil Fruit powers, has an immense experience of being a criminal and agent, yet she does absolutely nothing. Heck, instead of stopping Sugar (I don't mention Trebol, because he is logia), she could just break her neck, the same way as she always did before. I don't know why she didn't do it. |
 |
| He's tied for number 1 with Sanji in that regard. |
| I see no problem with Usopp's character. So what if he is a coward. We already have a bunch of bad-ass characters in One Piece. He adds to the flavor of the crew. |
| He can be damn well annoying sometimes but he's by no means the MOST annoying. I mean c'mon this is OP for god's sake, there are 100s of annoying characters. Take Trebol for example. Or Buggy, or that annoying ass Mr. 2. The list goes on. |
| Hes actually my most respected character in one piece. He will develop in this arc, a badass way.. |
 |
| How can anyone still hate Usopp after his 10-ton hammer trick against Perona? |

| No, even if we just talk about the strawhats. Sanji and Nami are more annoying to me. |

He always gets a cool moment, but then quickly reverts at the beginning of the next arc. |
| Nami is the most annoying to me in the strawhat crew |

| No, Sanji is. Usopp is awesome in comparison. |
 |
| Usopp is the man. Those who hate him just tend to be jealous. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Actually you're not right. When it comes ot a crisis situstions Usopp save's the day with his stupidity. Remember in Thriller Bark? He was so negative that even the Negative Ghosts are useless. Remember in Enies Lobby?? When the Navy just toke Robin in their hands and then Usopp hit them from about 100 meters. He is not the best, but still he's not uselees. Well, that's what I think... |
 Dont say bad things about my Nakama...Ussop is God! |
 |
| The big problem here is not that Usopp is useless or not, it's that I don't seem to find the actual relation between being a coward and being useless. I dunno, he was a coward when he fought Perona as well... and that was useful, I think. Anyway, and as a manga reader, I can only say that you should keep watching, because Usopp does get focus here and goes through two -maybe more- very relevant character moments. The last one may definitely convert you to the Church of Nagahanity. |

| No, Nami is. Heck, she's basically become a fan service character. I don't remember the Nami I used to watch and love back in Arlong park arc. It's like all the development she got there just vanished. I don't really dislike Usopp. I don't like him either. I think just like jal said above me, I will prefer Usopp to be coward and useful rather than just a useless twat. I think he needs to have some development and become like say Jean from SNK. Jean's certainly not the most courageaous but he does his best to overcome his fears and ends up being useful to those he cares about. I hope Usopp becomes like that. |
Agafin said: No, Nami is. Heck, she's basically become a fan service character. I don't remember the Nami I used to watch and love back in Arlong park arc. It's like all the development she got there just vanished. =( I wrote something about that in the One Piece manga subforum yesterday. I think that Nami's contribution to the series has been largely understated and at least in one of the three post-timeskip arcs she has a very relevant role. If anything the series has been weak lately at showing the static aspects of the character (her jokes, her stock personality AKA being easily annoyed or loving money) but not the dynamic ones. She is still very empathic and that leads her to make decisions or to become more emotionally involved with things than other Straw Hats. A lot of Punk Hazard was about this and some of her scenes there are more significant in terms of emotional display than most of what has been delivered through the rest of the crew. Her scene with Jimbe at the Fishman Island arc stands out as well. I don't really think that the fanservice thing has got better or worse. It's pretty tame to me, just a girl in a bikini. And it kind of bugs me that she gets that much hate for something Robin is more noticeable and arguably much worse at (not just the fanservice but the character development thing). |

| Well, this topic is about opinion and everybody has one. For me, Franky is boring (i'm not fan of robots) and Usopp is cool. He is always acting so funny, even in battle is funny. He is strong in his own way. |

tsudecimo said: No, Sanji is. Usopp is awesome in comparison. Agreed. At least God Usopp wouldn't jeopardize a plan because his opponent is female. |
| to be honest he made me laugh around the first 130 eps or so but afterwards him being a coward and making weird noises just started to get annoying phus unneeded |
