Im not going to lie this shit deadass turned me against ussop for a minute. Even more than when he fought luffy this heated me tf up 😂.

LOCKKK ONNNNNN Love this moment for Usopp Whole time he's been living a lie to initially save himself and it kept snow balling into stakes he didn't except nor agree too And you can slowly notice it as he always looks for a way out But he came back because he couldn't accept to be fighting under the disguise of that lie And he'll shine as he is!!!

Let's not forget Usopp lost a lot of character development by forgetting Robin. The whole Sogeking arc.

For a group of people characterized by how gullible they are, you can tell how tired of losing hope they got if they reject the truth for once. But it's still a lie and believing in it is dangerous, which Usopp realized and came back to tell them. Now he'll be their hero

Gotta notice that some of those moments we thought he's running away he was actually running towards the tower and onto that ship. Or all of them. While he was talking to himself about running away, he was actually running towards the danger. In contrary to most viewers, I really liked that sentence of Usopp saying one thing while actually doing the opposite. While I was super frustrated as everyone were and was screaming "Usopp, turn around, right now!", I really liked the way Oda went for Usopp's behavior. We, as audience, gotta remember a few things. 1. Usopp and Nami are the only members of the crew who aren't monsters. They don't have a Devil Fruit, crazy technology, super tough bodies etc. But by being StrawHats they are signed up for dangers way beyond what normal human would survive. 2. Usopp does not fight to save all toys or Tontattas, he just came onto this island and got thrown into a crazy conflict of people he has no attachment to. He was there to follow Law's plan to destroy the factory, that's all. 3. He has a super soft, caring heart. He lives up to the stakes whenever his friends or loved ones are in danger (Usopp's village, Kaya, Vivi, Robin, StrawHats). 4. His motivation was that he was moved by the naivety and resilience of Tontattas. "They are gonna wait for me until they die, if I don't do that!". He came back to come clean to them about the lies, he couldn't stand that they can all die while stupidly believing a lie he has told them. At the moment, when they had an absolute faith in him, he felt close to them at a personal level and that was enough to sign them up in his books as a people important to him, that need saving. 5. The way he introduces himself as a person he is, with confidence and pride = chef's kiss. He's not Usoland, not Sogeking's friend, he's Usopp, a great sniper of StrawHat Pirates. No more, no less. 6. He is becoming the warrior of the sea he is aspiring to be! When he encountered giants' duel on Little Garden he said he one day wishes to stand before the danger and before he dies he's going to stand strong and say with pride who he is! That it's the coolest thing ever. Now he's doing it! Because such a way of living is a lot cooler than running away!

As an usopp stan, this part really erks me. Some people will say him forgetting Robin changed him, idk if I buy Sugars power also changing the personality of people who forget to that degree. Him running away from people getting hurt feels too forced for me. Imagine he ran instead of shooting Arlong who was attempting to kill Gen-san. He didn't. That was before Water Seven. If it comes down to him, he will help. I wouldn't mind him hidding at first. But running that far? Idk

Half a chapter of sporadic panels of Usopp versus 3/4th's of an episode where it's milked by Toei.

Sanji Joestar

This part of the story might seem controversial to some but personally i think it fits perfectly with Usopp thus far. And it's not just because of the unknown factor of how much he was affected by Robin being erased. Also I cannot stress this enough, the anime makes it seem worse by extending all of the scenes in this chapter/episode. Usopp was already coming back by the time Leo and the others got stepped on. The reason for this isn't just Robin/Enies Lobby. That may be a factor but in this arc it's minor. The real conflict here is regarding Usopp and his lie to save himself and Robin. Law's original plan was to just proceed with the exchange while the heavy hitters destroy the factory and the other group protects the Sunny. Everything went south real fast with Law instead having personal involvement, Luffy in the Coloseum, Sanji distracted by Viola, the toy situation and the Tontattas. It's not just Usopp not wanting to help, it's him being thrown in a situation where what was planned was thrown out the window and the lie he told kept growing bigger. Before he knew it he was in the middle of an underground revolution with a team of little people physically stronger than him, facing off a user with the ability to literally erase your existence and Trebol with his surprisingly accute senses and dangerous powers. Which is why they relied on trickery and the least amount of contact through the grapes and he let them proceed with their plan. In the end he was alone, without Robin, in a plan he's not on board with and against dangerous abilities. So his first move was to get away to Franky, the only ally he can think of. Just because he became more confident post timeskip doesn't mean he'll just jump head first. And acting in the face of fear is what makes him brave.

Sanji Joestar

Genuinely check the manga for this episode(ch741) You'll see he was already coming back by the time they were getting stepped on. Blame the anime honestly.

If Usopp has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Usopp has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Usopp has only one fan then that is me. If Usopp has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Usopp, then I am against the world.

Usopp isn't a powerhouse like the others, and with zero memory of Robin, he lost all reason to be down there. He's not a hero... And yet despite his cowardice, he still turned around and decided to fight. It's not his best moment. In fact, a lot of people hate his character for it and I don't think anyone is wrong for that. It's easy to look at Shonen characters and expect them to get stronger and eventually overcome all of their weaknesses, but is it realistic for a character like Usopp to suddenly be a hero among heroes who is afraid of nothing? Even though it kinda sucks, this moment is the definition of Usopp's character, without the glory and lies 😂

While I agree with a lot of what you’re saying right now when I originally watched this scene i definitely didn’t see it that way. Very similarly to when ussop fought luffy in water 7 I was far to overcome by emotion to see all of that so logically and I think that kind of thinking is only really possible with a full view of all of what ussop would do later in the arc. Much like how now when I watch luffy and ussop duel I can appreciate what it all meant in the story I can watch this and see much of what you’re saying. HOWEVER, The tontatas bravely talking about how ussop is a hero as they get crushed to death while we the audience are lead to believe that he heartlessly abandoned them pissed me off something serous lol.

Extra Crispy

Yeah I remember reading this later after I’d already watched it and see it was much less torturous in the manga.

Usopp would be a lot more tolerable to me if Oda actually went to the effort of showing the nuance of his inner conflict (*wanting* to do the right thing but being too scared to do so half the time) like he did pre-timeskip with stuff like Syrup Village or Enies because THAT'S relatable. Being a coward in a high-pressure/scary situation doesn't inherently mean you're a bad or selfish person - not wanting to die or get hurt is a very human reaction and fear comes from a lack of confidence that you can prevent yourself from being hurt or that you won't be able to handle the consequences. *I* definitely have that with some things, and I'm sure everyone else in these comments do, too - everyone's afraid of something. Self-preservation and managing our fear responses are our literal most important basic human instincts because it's what keeps us ALIVE. My issue with Usopp in this is that *all* Oda/Toei focuses on here is the selfish side of his thoughts: he has you believe until the VERY last second that Usopp is running straight out of there so when he actually DOES come back to do the right thing, I'm not even proud of him overcoming his fears - I'm rolling my eyes at the TV going "yeah, you BETTER, dude". Because choosing to the do the right thing when you're either guilted into it or have no other options left because everything hinges on you really doesn't ever come off that good - especially when he seemingly regresses back to being his overly scared self immediately afterwards every time. I'm not even talking about just this episode either - I'm talking all of the previous ones too where every inner thought we get is him just thinking about himself and HIS escape plan. Plus, Oda not bothering to show Usopp's inner struggle and thought process more and instead making it seem like he's basically *forced* to do the right thing here just because he feels guilty about it also results in what a lot of people are doing in the comments right now - coming up with our own reasons to justify his actions because we don't WANT to hate him but man does Oda's writing of Usopp make that really hard sometimes.

I COMPLETELY and VEHEMENTLY disagree with everything you just said, but good on you I suppose...?

Erica Wilder Boulter

Um.... okay? Do you want a cookie for having a different opinion, or...?

ImZeaT

Nah, I commented that because your comment mischaracterizes the writing so much it shouldn't even be considered an opinion, it's laughable and since I don't have the time to write a 8-paragraph long text, I figured I should still at least say that in good conscience...

Bun_s_Life

That is 100% true. When you're reading or watching this unfold for the first time you get so frustrated!

Erica Wilder Boulter

Ooooooh, so you're just an immature dork who can't handle seeing different opinions without seething into the void and *need* to assert you're the specialest of special boys by demeaning other people's thoughts for your own insecurity, then? Got it. "Say that in good conscience"? Lmao, it's NOT that deep or serious bro. I didn't commit a sin you have to "disavow" publicly or Oda won't let you into One Piece heaven when you die with all his other favorite white knights or whatever you think you're preventing from just ignoring an opinion you disagree with, especially since you're too lazy to even offer more than just "I disagree :3". Have a good life, I guess.

I understand every disappointment in this ep. They really stretched the part Usopp running away that it became unbearable 😭 They failed to show that he was running back right after the tontattas keep believing in him. Toei failed Usopp at this time 🤧

Jn Whalien

The inner conflict of Usopp is himself. Scared people don't explain why they are scared of something most of the time but they are just scared. Usopp's decision to go back and save the tontattas wasn't just his guilt but his resolved as well. It was just hard to watch because we know that the tontattas were already in pain.

Erica Wilder Boulter

"Scared people don't explain why they are scared of something" They do if they actually care about improving themselves (source: me, a scared person who is in therapy so I'm not scared of [redacted] or [redacted] anymore because I'm sick of how my fear is limiting my ability to enjoy things like I used to or form normal relationships again) which Usopp canonically says he WANTS to do, several times. He WANTS to be an actual brave warrior rather than playing pretend at one like he used to as a kid. That's what he says his dream is. You have to actually do things and put in the work to achieve your goals in life, no one can do it for you. My therapist doesn't give me all the answers - she asks me questions about why I do this or that that I then have to think about, or gives me tools to help me cope with certain stressors so I don't regress in my progress while I'm working to make the changes in my life that I want. I get nudges every once and a while on what I should do or what might be helpful, but it's still up to me to actually do those things. If I don't do those things and therefore the things I'm trying to improve don't actually improve, I'M the one to blame here and not her. (also P.S. "inner conflict", by definition, literally means "the conflict you have within yourself" so of course I was talking about Usopp overcoming his own mind/shortcomings - what else did you think "inner" means?)
