Going Merry Holidays 2024 (day 20): OP theme songs - Hero (Usopp)

Another project from my original youtube channel (monkeydluffy1992) was part of the "OP theme songs"-video which was supposed to have a collection of small songs that I thought would fit each Straw hat.

The reason I wanted to add this "countdown calendar" (or whatever you desire to call it :D) is not only that this song fits Usopp surprisingly good but also that after re-reading Water 7 and Enies Lobby and suddenly everything just made more sense in those arcs both characterwise and plotwise.

I wrote a bunch of thoughts about Usopp's character development and characteristics in the "Reasons to love Mugiwaras: Usopp"-post (which can be read here) but let's summarize it up: Usopp started as a very insecure youngster and after his important realization, (apart from the running gag "coward Usopp") he managed to grow over the ghosts of his past, found his worth and became stronger.

"Hero" by Nickelback reminds me of Usopp because he created Sogeking in order to have a "alter ego" so he could help the crew with Robin's retrieval. I think the disguise was because after the Luffy vs Usopp incident he wasn't sure would be he welcomed as himself but at the same time he really wanted to help.

Now to think about, I think deep down each of his crewmates knew who he was but they went along with the play because they didn't want to crush more of remains of his lost self esteem and they knew they would need his unique skills in this mission.

“I’ll do what you can’t do. You go do what I can’t do!!!” is one of my all time favorite One Piece quotes and I'm really am glad how Oda wrote that scene because instead of scolding his risky move, Sanji wanted to push Usopp because he knew Usopp' has potential on something no one else has in their crew.

Then in the end Usopp became the one who held the keys of the solution and saved Robin from the Tower of Justice with his sniping skills!

Originally I wanted to have Usopp's and Kaya's scenes as black and white or sepia effected (which is usually used for the flashbacks and stuff) but somehow it got forgotten but any case the focus is on Usopp thinking whether he'll be enough for Kaya as he is (or was at that point in Water 7 as a Sogeking) and for sure such long distance relationship (whether it was platonic or romantic) makes anyone wonder would it last.

They didn't have much time together in the series but they would definitely be cute together! Usopp simply wanted to cheer Kaya up just like he tried to cheer his mom up when she was sick (interesting parallel by the way). It's also intriguing to think about a possibility that Usopp might have "foreshadowed" his future when he was telling those stories to cheer Kaya. One thing is for sure in the end when they reunite Usopp will tell about his adventures and this time he doesn't have to lie! he might use a little crayon on it at times laughs*

Would you ever think of voice claims for the RnS characters? (Asking because I am god awful at imagining their voices)

I'm not the best person to ask about this because I choose voices based on songs, generally speaking? So I don't have like, actors or voice actors in my head for them. I can give you the songs I associate with their voices? If that helps?

Too much under the cut tbh.

Tanguish:

I associate his voice with singers like CG5, LeGrande. His voice to me is in the higher range, with a little bit of a crack/rasp to it, especially when he whispers or speaks in the lower register of his voice. He's expressive. He gets soft and loud and soft again, with a variety of pitches and tones. His stutter mostly appears on hard consonants, ts ds and ps, because when he's nervous his teeth chatter. He tends to downturn his sentences so they sound apologetic.

Songs: Give A Little [CG5, LeGrande], Run Little Hero [LeGrande], Dancing After Death [Matt Maeson], You're Not Welcome [Naethan Apollo]

Tango:

Sounds like Tangotek, though he's considerably more tired, especially at the start of the fic. I recommend listening to some of the late night Decked Out II streams for the vibe I'm thinking of. It's more calm than his YouTube videos, and he tends to drop his voice lower as the stream goes on.

Helsknight:

Helsknight is a little harder to pin down because I don't have a clear of a voice for him in my head, and I don't think he can sing? So all those song voice claims don't work as well. He sounds angry. He sounds like he yells a lot. His voice is deeper, and it growls. Man has gravel in his voice box. Think 90s alt rock singer growl.

Songs: Intro III [NF, a little too high in pitch, but this is the cadence/anger level I picture when he's shouting. This is how he and Wels argue.], The Wolf in Your Darkest Room [Matthew Mayfield], Hero [Chad Kroeger, Josey Scott], Had Enough [Breaking Benjamin], Somebody That I Used to Know [Jonathan Young].

Also, a bit of a left turn, but if you'd like a more feminine voice for Helsknight, my voice claim would be Wayfaring Stranger by Melody Gardot.

Welsknight:

Welsknight is NF to me. Pick a song. It's 110% because whenever I script Wels / Hels fights in my head, NF songs are the main ones I use. But he just Sounds NF to me now. Welsknight has a similar cadence to Helsknight, especially when he's angry. When he's not angry, his voice is noticeably higher and smoother. He hasn't broken it yelling quite so much, and he laughs easily.

Songs: Intro III [NF], HOPE [NF], All Eyes On You [Smash Into Pieces]. Head Up [The Score].

Martyn (Ofthearena):

He sounds exactly like Mr. Inthelittlewood. If the two ever stood in the same room, it would sound like there's an echo.

The Red King:

He sounds like? A wolf? Whenever someone has a wolf character, and their voice is deep and snarly. Stereotypical Big Bad Wolf vibes. I imagine his voice is kind of trashed because of the whole 'i was made in a ritual where someone chopped off my head' thing. Make him talk for more than a few minutes, and his voice turns into broken words and vocal disturbance. He coughs a lot during long conversations.

Songs: My Mother Told Me [Matthew K Heafy], Ó Valhalla [SKÁLD], Ride of the Valkyries [Brothers of Metal, the male voice is... perfect......]

EB: I don't really have a voice claim for EB :') he sounds like a vocaloid in my head. Deep cuts in fandom, but when Undertale used to do vocaloid versions of songs for the UT characters? There was a Gaster version of Echo that got really popular. That's the closest I really have to a voice claim. And then the dialup-style noise that plays during the musical breaks is generally what I think of when I think of his voice turning to static. It's just a bunch of garbled, chunky noises.

Uh! Hope this helps!

Author's Note: Forty-something year old Eric's playlist. This is the decade the gang makes fun for him for his music taste. To be fair, he kind of deserves it.

Bonuses:

"Hey Ya" by Outkast is Eric's default "let's embarrass the kids by blasting it loudly" song. "In Da Club" is another good one.

If I included 2010, he would totally insist he's got the moves like Jagger.
