#Usopp is the main character

[wesleysniperking]

When I tell my mother and sister about One Piece, it always has to do with Usopp. I kid you not. If my mother and sister asks a question that is outside my jurisdiction or not Usopp related, I have to think extremely hard and if I don’t know the answer I just say “Duh. I’m telling y’all the Usopp abridged version”, it’s The Usopp Show.

He’s the only Strawhat I talk about. He’s the main character, right???😂

But I’ve already given my twin sister a character to be a fan of. That character is Sanji. My sister likes to wear dressy stuff and cute pantsuits. She likes characters with his type of personality (regardless of his flaws). I even asked her how he can fight in a suit without getting it all dusty, and she was able to come up with a very reasonable answer. And she’s an INFJ (he’s an ENFJ…but still). So, I always say, “hey, if someone ever says they’re a fan of One Piece, you say you are too. And if they ask you who your favorite One Piece character is, tell them it’s Sanji.” I’ve even told her ways to defend him and his flaws. She’s a good student. I’ve trained her well. And she’s annoyed that I talk about OP and Usopp often to the point that she doesn’t listen anymore but she’s my best friend and she still lets me talk about Usopp anyway.

My mother is already biased towards Usopp. So, my job is done there. She likes the whole underdog thing and definitely puts things into perspective in her own motherly way. Especially when it comes to things like Water 7, Yasopp, and the polarizing fan reception Usopp gets. My mother’s memory is hit or miss, but when it came to OP and Usopp, she caught on quickly. She’s even looking forward to Elbaf. Plus, my mother’s military experience brings a realism to Usopp’s situation that I like. She always asks about updates regarding Usopp, and I get into ramble mode. But she listens anyway.

I love my mother and twin sis. ❤️

Sorry I'm gonna be ramping on the differences in the live action once again. This is where they just flopped so hard! It's crazy how they revamped this arc (in an actually cool way), but made Usopp a side character in his own arc!

You can see this stark contrast in the original. First off, Luffy and Zoro don't do ANYTHING and WOULDN'T have ever done anything if not for Usopp first giving his all to warn the village, being reduced to humiliation and tears for it, and STILL wanting to protect them. Usopp inspired them! And during the fight against the Black Cat Pirates, he commanded the situation! The others did as he said and moved after he moved. This example I have pictured here is when HE, despite being injured, still took command and directed the kids and Kaya away from the situation, saving them. Then we all know after this, he defeats Jango, saving Kaya's life and completely foiling Kuro's plan, and while Zoro got Usopp there, he stepped aside and just aided Usopp because he knew and believed that Usopp would win.

Luffy may have been the one to take down the big bad, but Usopp was the hero of this arc. They wouldn't have succeeded, or even begun, without Usopp. Usopp is INCREDIBLE and they screwed up conveying that in the live action!! and I'm mad about it! 😭

I can't fight this feeling anymore

For (late) @sanusoweek || Day 7: Reunion (posting it late but posting it nevertheless!)

Relationship: Sanji/Usopp

Rating: General Audiences

Tags: Post-Enies Lobby Arc / Sanji-centric / Pining Sanji / Fluff / Reunions / Light Angst / Mutual Pining / Not Actually Unrequited Love / Teen Crush (Tagging as such bc this one gives awkward teenagers so much) / Awkward Crush / Internalized Homophobia / Nosebleed / Religious Conflict (Kind of??? Sanji's POV should be studied)

Words: 5,038

Summary:

Sanji needs to get his shit together. He knows he should. He is being childish. Maybe Sanji is just young. And stupid. And he is a teenager. And being nineteen makes him want and want and want things he should not crave or long for. Like guys. Like Usopp. So it will go away. He tells himself it will, with time. The boiling pot will stop burning and the air will come back to his lungs without needing to have Usopp near. He is back, though. And Sanji can breathe. Just not properly. Never properly when he is near enough to cut his breath away. But he can breathe. He has missed Usopp so much that his body reacts instinctively. Because Usopp is easy to love. Easy to miss. Easy to want. Easy to hold. So, so easy to hold, it seems.

*stares at desktop background for a minute* holy fuck i could do a sanuso witchcraft works au <- wants to redraw soooo many screenshots

for those unaware, imagine a dude who is constantly a damsel in distress, and terrified a lot of the time but still does what he thinks is right. and a girl who is his stoic and staunch protector, very much down to flirt/get physically affectionate, puts the dude's wellbeing above her own, and is a witch who primarily uses fire and bursts into flames (also they were childhood friends but for some reason dude doesn't remember it). also the dude's got his own sorta fire powers and a lot of people are after him, but dw about that :)

one of the best things about one piece is that the mugiwaras are a crew of main characters who decided to follow the ultimate main character

[melonteee]

I just think they didn't do Sanji's eyebrows cause they couldn't make it work with the hairstyle they wanted, every Sanji actor looks like a cosplayer, which is not a bad thing when it comes to like live performances on stage or at theme parks, but they're SO clearly wearing wigs LMAO they do not look like "real" people that would exist since that hair (wig) is not natural looking at all (and we all know that Sanji would look wacky with both brows showing, that's why he NEVER shows them in the manga), Netflix is clearly going for realism and Sanji has "realistic" hair which is kinda ironic since One Piece and realism don't really go hand in hand but lol Netflix ¯l_(ツ)_l¯

This same goes for Usopp's nose too, but they have literally NO excuse for removing Sanji's little "beard", that shit should've stayed on since it IS one of the most realistic parts of his design lol but again it's fucking Netflix

Also hot(?) take: I think Oda just designed Sanji to have eyebrows like the spiral in narutomaki cause he found it funny, I think he added the Germa stuff to it later (I think he had a lot of Sanji's story planned out from the get go but judging from his comments he decided Sanji would have siblings much later so I think he also just added more meaning to the brows later)

Anon you cannoooot say "it's just unrealistic looking, all the other Sanjis wear obvious wigs" when Nami and Zoro are wearing the most obvious wigs ever. It has nothing to do with realism, Zoro's hair is bright green for god's sake. If a cosplayer on a $15 budget can add the literal key trait of Sanji's design, Netflix could've found a way to do it on a million dollar budget - possibly even with a more natural look!

I'm not going to lie I'm extremely sick of these excuses that everyone is just making up FOR Netflix, like can we just be in agreement it was honestly disappointing and lazy to remove a physical feature a LOT of people recognise Sanji for. A feature that is so easy to add. You can be excited for it while also going "Wow, that kinda sucks!"

Removing a feature of a character that he's literally recognised for in canon universe, that he gets nick names for and pointed at for MULTIPLE times, is just an extremely disappointing move by Netflix - especially considering it is currently story relevant in the original property right now. They just wanted to make him a conventionally attractive man without any of the design choices that actually make him stand out.

Sanji's eyebrows are also literally meant to be weird, if they look uncanny then that's kind of literally the point. It's why he gets made fun of for them.

Once again, this has nothing to do with the actors at all. They do not control their costumes lol.

Also my hot take here is, if you want to make a show with physical realism, why in the world would you EVER pick one piece to adapt for that 😭

[usoppictures]

can't find good pics of one piece usopp axe body spray, disappointingly enough. so have a 3-for-1 deal. another image!

[mugiwara-lucy]

The disrespect 🤣

[empress-hancock]

I’m sure they’ll going to make changes in the live action but I do hope Sanji still gets to beat that dude almost to death for spilling soup, like that’s hilarious. He almost kills a guy over soup. Me too, man, me too

[acreaturecalledgreed]

love of one piece aside i do want to smack oda around with a very large stick for several character design choices hes made and continues to make such as [gestures tiredly at usopp]

Me, after reading the past few chapters.

[beanghostprincess]

My Fem!Sanusona Ice Skating fic structure is extremely funny to me because it's at least 10k words of Usopp having anxiety, 5k words of Nami shamelessly flirting with Usopp and Sanji in front of literally everyone, 3k words of Sanji being all lovey-dovey to Usopp, and, Idk, like 1k words of them ice skating.

I'm about to nerd-out about the Fan Letter project:

The one piece fan letter project is so genuinely beautiful. I'm not even talking about the jaw dropping animation and the comeback of the art style. The very idea of this - the perspective of civilians, non-power/haki users and just random people in a world that's already so wide is so cool. And the way we got to experience the main characters of the main series - their impact on the world and the collateral. I particularly loved how they were still there but in the way their faves were obscured, never fully shown (other than the last scene) you could tell they weren't the focus even if the whole episode was a tribute to them and their fans.

(This is what I mean by the faces thing)

This entire scene is just the girl and Usopp (I can talk about the symbolism in colors and shading/the parallels of the marine literally casting a shadow on her while one of the strawhats gives her a helping hand, but I digress) - the focus is still on her, regradless of the speaker and the camera is only following her movements and facial expressions. We only get a clear view of Usopp's face a second before the scene changes.

This too, Luffy is the only one on the screen but we don't get to see him, not fully(even in the closer shots), because it's not about him.

I also loved how funny they made the power scalers in the bar (and he way we saw Zoro and Sanji interact with them. As they are probably one of the usual ones to be compared by dude-bros, it was like an inside joke for the fandom and I love it to bits!)

Truly amazing.

Or the little fanboying moments, so cute!

And I can't believe I'm just now hearing of the theory that Chopper's bounty is always this low because the mariens love him so much they don't want the high bounty to put him in danger!

There's so much to be implied/confirmed! For example, we get to see how many people love Brook because for some reason we keep forgetting he's a world-famous rockstar. He has his own merch, he started a trend with afros and those glasses he has on the poster, his fans picked up his puns,

It was also touching how Luffy touched lives without even trying (not that he usually does), as the marine brothers. Even though the older one claims he doesn't like his brother, he loves him enough to appreciate him being alive when he witnessed an entire war for someone else's. Even if he doesn't want to admit it, it's clear he cares about his brother deeply. It's just so amazing seeing it :''))

(Bonus to this is the little monologue Nami's fangirl has that adds so much about their relationship :))

I'm so looking forward to more ;;--;;
