Usopp has abandonment issues. His dad left him. His mom died shortly after. The only person his age that befriended him was dying just like his mother. His insecurities about being abandoned came out during this fight. He thinks because he's weak they'll leave him like the Going Merry. This was main channel worthy!
It’s character that people don’t appreciate and see sooner. Its these great characteristics that make these characters realistic and easy to connect to.
Luffy really grew from this point onward. It was evident by how he tried to play it off with fake optimism that he still struggled to deal with the harsh realities of the journey. When Usopp kept prodding for answers and became aggravated Luffy's emotions about the whole ordeal actually came out. After this point of the story Luffy no longer downplays the gravity of situations and breaks shocking news with ease.
Luffy wasn't "down playing " the situation. He was just glossing over it for ussop to not feel guilty of losing the money and luffy already went through all that grief of having to leave merry and repressed those.
Fun Fact: When Usopp said, "I can no longer keep up with your strength anymore," only Chopper didn't quite understand his words. That's because Chopper has seen his strength so often in Arabasta and Sky Island.
How angry zoro was at Ussop when he heard he wants to be back without apologise but he knows what sanji did there, doesnt need an apology and was the best move you could do while listening.
Uspopp's attachment to this ship isn't only the result of it being given by Kaya, but also because he sees the Merry as a crewmember. If Luffy can throw away beaten and useless crewmembers "this easily" then surely Usopp himself will be the next one getting thrown out, that's why he became so aggrevated, he knew he didn't live up to the expectation thus far.
As for why Usopp was so much more effective here, in most of his fights, he has to think on his feet and improvise, but here, he was able to plan things out and make preparations. Plus, he actually knows Luffy and what would be effective against him
After this Arc I really started Liking Sanji even more...he is so sensible and really kind and considerate. And it's also a very good detail how Chopper didn't see the situations as humans and he was just worried about Usopp just like how a innocent animal would....
Honestly the end of this arc is what cemented Zoro as my 2nd fave (I fucking LOVE Franky). He's since been bumped down to 3rd because someone else joined the crew I also loved Yohohohoho!
Sanji was definetly my favorite character for a while until unfortunately both Thriller Bark and Fishman Island came around, which is really a shame because it felt like he really had so much depth besides being the woman pervert guy (though i have to say whole cake helped a little with it).
@@ruimigs5560 Sanji was always fine to me, his perviness never really bothered me and his story was okay. Whole Cake and Wano though really expanded his character for me... the latest shit in the manga though is just pain (not Sanji related... just in pain from the chapter this week lol)
@@Roy___withoutanythingelseadded to be fair, Oda drew Sanji with a comically angry face while he was saying that to Jinbei. Same expression he makes when he's bickering with Zoro. This might be copium but I really don't think Oda meant that scene to be so serious, we just get shocked because of the words "kill yourself" but in japanese it's probably not as heavy when he's "just" telling Jinbei to do the traditional ritual of cutting your belly after doing something disgraceful. Like "show the extent of your remorse" and not straight up "you're better off dead" as the translation makes it sound.
This arc and Thriller Bark are the 2 arcs that have cemented Usopp as my favorite Straw Hat. It’s such a great emotional arc for him. His abandonment issues are on full display. He doesn’t want to lose the last thing he has left of his hometown.
I love that Zoro doesn’t pick sides because both are right in their own vision and only way to settle this was a Last Man Standing fight. It took Sanji some time to realize it but when he saw the determination of Ussop, even he stopped Chopper from hurting Ussop's pride
As someone who relates with Usopp, I will never forget Episodes 235 and 236. Those are some of the most impactful and emotional episodes of the entire series!
@@kamixakadio2441lol, ennies lobby, thriller bark, whole marineford saga. Yeah yeah, almost no pacing issues pre timeskip, gotcha. Even in east blue there are pacing issues with these long ass fights. Hello kuro hello kreig hello arlong. Whole east blue could be two times shorter, e.g. 24 episodes without losing anything but pacing issues.
this moment cements Zoro as Luffys true best friend and the most based man in the whole show. "This fight has to happen. The moment one of us can get away with questioning our captain, this whole thing falls apart." and then, when Luffy is crying "this is what it means to be a captain, don't lose yourself. if you waver, who can we trust?"
I don't know if you are going to read this comment but this moment was built from many arcs ago with small dialogues, where Usopp was the one who had to repair the boat but the key moment was when Aokiji appeared. At some point in that chapter, luffy gives them the order to retreat and wait for him to finish the battle with Aokiji, Sanji and Zoro understood it but Usopp didn't understand it, because even though it was a direct order from his captain, Usopp interpreted it as a friend, someone of the same level. Which is wrong in a crew. Also another key moment in that chapter was when Aokiji questioned luffy's position as captain, then when he went to repair the ship and Iceburg did it again about keeping the crew safe on an unseaworthy ship and finally Usopp when they argued about changing ships. Oda was slowly building this arc from way back. In the manga it's a bit more obvious because you have time to read the dialogues calmly but in the anime you miss these clues that Oda leaves.
Ussop was never going to win this fight if Luffy was treating this seriously would have ended in one punch. It was a fight of ideals. But Zoro was right and stepped up as first mate. Through this fight I felt like Chopper, who looked like in the middle of having to choose mom or dad. I think this is interesting analysis for Sanji, he knew to stop things before Luffy could say it. This crew is an amazing family.
Luffy treated it seriously from the first second. But like Usopp said, he knows how Luffy fights and he prepared for it. Whenever Luffy tried something, Usopp already had a counter to it. But just having counters is not enough in a fight like this.
6:08 In the comic, he kicked Luffy in the direction Nami was standing. Nami screamed in surprise, but Sanji was so upset and agitated that he did not notice. This would not normally happen. I can't write more because I don't want to spoil the story, but every time I see this scene, my tear gland is destroyed...
Water 7 Saga starts when Straw Hat Pirates needs to get serious now even more not only their Friendship or the Crew but also their Enemies they facing. 🔥💀
Usopp and Luffy both are right. He doesn’t want to abandon the ship because he was abandoned and feels Luffy will eventually abandon him when he does not need him. Luffy is right, as he doesn’t want to sail on a broken ship and risk all the crew life. That’s why I love this scene.
One of the best one piece episode...NO CAP!!! My top 5 arcs, including manga/anime 1. egghead island 2. water 7/enies lobby 3. wano 4. Impel Down/Marineford arc 5. Alabasta saga
@@gsorestes9933its just so good man, so many epic and sad moment, Vegapunk reveal, Vivi reveals, Saul reveal, Kid destroyed, Koby rescue, Law destroyed, Gorosei come to fight luffy and Gorosei fruit reveal, Kuma and Bonney backstory, Egghead just have so much lore, emotion and epicness😅.
Ussop did everything, but the shurikins previously his greatest strength is his intelligence. If he has information on his opponent, he can find the best way to win, just like with Merry Christmas and Mr. 4. He rarely gets the opportunity to get the info, though.
Episode 6 for me. When he's watching the villagers get slaughtered and doesnt give a single shit. Then says "I dont care about those who don't fight for themselves" Then he saves the dog because the dog is a real G. It shows who luffy is perfectly.
This episode to me was the ABSOLUTE TURNING POINT of what the tone of One Piece is gonna be. It is goofy and funny, but it's also depressingly have serious moments that will make you sob like a baby
Nickkkkkkkkkk you're finally here ...i've used to watch your one piece reactions the second they are out in patreon, and now due to medical exams , its been so long since I watched them, i'm so proud of you for coming this far, the story only gets better and better , be ready...oh and don't forget to prepare some tissues
Youre the same as me laughing awkwardly but hurting inside😂😂 thats how i react to most things. And regarding usopp this is the brave warrior of the sea version .5
One of the saddest part of this fight is the fact that eveyone who reacts to it asks why Usopp doesn't do all that during his other fights, but then you realize that he has all the knoledge about Luffy, how his power works and his fighting style, but he barely harmed Luffy even after using all his might and tools
A lot of great moments in one piece. For me. This was the one that elevated it to a masterpiece. Everything prior to this was a slow build of an optimistic knucklehead who could buckle down and kick ass when needed. But this was a fight Luffy did not expect to have to fight. He lost his cool in a way we've never seen before. It is a learning experience. Every time I think of these episodes. The aggravation usopp feels and how Luffy doesn't want to lose his friend but only knows to stay his course to be the king of the pirates. He grows and learns and shows depths we hadn't seen before. God I love one piece.
The best 2 moments on the first half of One Piece are the moments that show Luffy's growth in maturity due to reality check. The first time in Water Seven / Ennys Lobby and the second time after Marine Ford.
I kinda hope you upload both Water7 and Enies Lobby like the 7 hr Skypeia video lol. I know it’s a lot, but these are my favorite One Piece arcs and honestly, I’ve been waiting for your reaction to this part of the story since you first started the series. Glad you finally made it here, Nic!
I love when Usopp gets to fight his way. Near every one of his fights, he's in melee or mid range fights. Let him be the long range sniper/trapper that he is and he's as deadly as anyone on the crew.
I just wish he kept his impact dials. Like make a kinda armor vest out of it, so when a melee fighter gets in range they get hit back and Usopp can get distance between them in that moment.
i've watched this like 5 times, i cried the first time and now everytime i watched again almost the tears come out. THIS IS PEAK ONE PIECE... only those who are prepared can enjoy it. The only anime that can make you cry because of a ship and people keep trying to compare with naruto and other trash.
Usopp said that he was a useless friend, but when I think about how the Straw Hat Pirates might have been wiped out if it weren't for Usopp in the upcoming arc, I realize that there is no such thing as an unnecessary ability.
i feel like this is one of those big moments that catch people in the show. yeah you've got skypiea, alabasta, and all the other good arcs, but enies lobby as well as water 7 truly just encapsulate people due to the pure amount of emotion given by everyone
I know it's an unpopular opinion but f*ck Usopp. He shows on some rare occasions in the series that he doesn't believe in Luffy's goals 100%. For example when Luffy mentions his dream (we don't get to know what it is), Usopp says something like "that's impossible" and it's small moments like this that make him (only for me in my own opinion) the only crew member I could dispense with.
As someone whos already caught up, I can say that Usopp reacted a little bit too sensitive. Of course the ship, which Kaya gave him, meant a lot to him and he saw it as a crewmember and he was also scared that he would be the next crewmember whos been sorted out, but AFTER ALL Luffy IS still the captain and when the captain makes a choice, EVERYONE has to follow them. ( Of course not every choice is right even If its from the captain but thats another topic) I dont deny the fact that It was also Luffys fault, but even as the captain he is still HUMAN and he has his problems too and he is not just the superhappy and goofy person, which we always see. In this arc Zorro was the GOAT. He reacted like he should as a vice-captain and took over when Luffy couldnt. Hes just the best written character :) -> Zorros also a great example of how a person should react in such situations. He kept a cool head, tought logically and didnt let his emotions take over. ( This all is just MY OPINION and it dosent mean that IT HAS TO BE RIGHT; If u think different about it thats great but this if how I see it!!) ^^
Imagine a fight between them were Usopp has to predict with his [REDACTED] where Van Augur is going to appear, which would look to most like Usopp shooting into nowhere, but in reality it would stop Van Augur from having enough time to take aim. Since they're both snipers the fight should take over the entire island. What would be cool, could be if they were going to intervene in everyones fight, since they're all in range of those two. Imagine the final Luffy vs Kaido fight, but Usopp and Van Augur are there making it even a bigger mess.
This will happen again but luffy is more mature.. i dont even think i even remember watching the anime version, read it once and that's it. If you are wondering which one I'm talking about, its whole cake island arc.
remember me when i was middle school in 2009 i watch this arc on my tv national channel this eps is heartbreaking dude i can't hold my tear in my eyes 🥲
“What is he gonna join the team again and never do anything like this again”. Why tf would even say this, prewatched af lmao. That’s him rewatching this and realising he never this cool again lol
This is why it's really best to have a Angel's heart and a Devil's Mind..... Let me explain why I said it:- The scene where Luffy was about to say that like telling Usopp to leave the crew that's the scene where it proves Luffy's innocence even from mind....like he really was going say that and apologize later if Sanji would not have kicked him...and that's when he apologized asap..... that's the thing a person with Angel's Mind would do But if he had a mind of a devil means....he would have completely understand the situation and felt for usopp just like it happened but instead of going on a argument with Usopp....after analysing his side he would have faked more pain (the pain he was feeling for Going Marry) and would have never said that what caused all of this, what caused usopp to say all those stuffs afterwards and think bad about Luffy's character. Imo a little bit of manipulation like this is not bad at all.....but unfortunately that is so rare and that's why ppl go into arguments like this and break so many bonds 😞😞😫
Usopp uses shuriken machine gun like projectiles, gas, explosions, caltrops, various dials. WOW! i wonder how he will use these techniques in the future?! LMAO
Gotta remember usopp has always been this strong. You don't just end up on the strawhat crew and be weak, they're all absurdly strong in their own ways.
It's not just because of Kaya. Later on, Usopp described Merry as "terminally ill" after saying he knew what bad shape it was in. To use that wording... who else in his life abandoned a terminally ill person? I still think that Usopp's biggest lie is that he has no ill will towards Yasopp.
the moment u realize Zoro didnt raise a finger when his captain got kicked by sanji means that this is one of those rare instances where they agree on something
Bro,most people fall on luffy side just because him and zoro are more popular than usopp but imho usopp was right and luffy was an asshole for changing everyone home without consulting with them.
Usopp has abandonment issues. His dad left him. His mom died shortly after. The only person his age that befriended him was dying just like his mother. His insecurities about being abandoned came out during this fight. He thinks because he's weak they'll leave him like the Going Merry. This was main channel worthy!
Yep
so he rather leaves before anyone gets a chance to. I know that well..
That's why I really love my boy Usopp...
U make me fking cry man, never got that point. Thxs a lot.

@@Darur1308 bro censored that character name please
Zoro really steps up as First Mate during this arc/saga with how he deals with Usopp and keeps the crew in line during this time.
Fun Fact: When Usopp said, "I can no longer keep up with your strength anymore," only Chopper didn't quite understand his words. That's because Chopper has seen his strength so often in Arabasta and Sky Island.
Not true at all, ass pull
or thinks he is strong because he is a kid and always believes his jokes and lies
Agree, Chopper sees how usopp use his brain to beat his enemy without strength. Purely sniping skills and tactics over object around him.
And that Sanji kicking luffy really was a peak scene, that was so cold and I was already crying my heart out.
pre time skip Sanji was such a mom of the crew then
Yeah Agree
anime been making him too horny since pre time skip and it’s getting old
It's crazy how this show shoots up like 20 times for me when there's conflict within the crew
How angry zoro was at Ussop when he heard he wants to be back without apologise but he knows what sanji did there, doesnt need an apology and was the best move you could do while listening.

I know it's an unpopular opinion but f*ck Usopp. He shows on some rare occasions in the series that he doesn't believe in Luffy's goals 100%. For example when Luffy mentions his dream (we don't get to know what it is), Usopp says something like "that's impossible" and it's small moments like this that make him (only for me in my own opinion) the only crew member I could dispense with.
I never thought i would cry for a boat 😢
Im at work and i randomly though about where is Nick on One Piece. Then i opened YT and saw that. NoYCE :D Water fukn SEVEN !
Man, I can't believe this, even if this is just a reaction to this episode, I still cried to this, damn One Piece, damn...
i'm so crying at that moment
this arc made the series the top manga of all time for me
Mr. Oda has an ability to draw each character standing on their own perspective through background, humanity, etc.
Just not possible to watch this without crying
Even after so many times I have seen those scenes
Hence we see the birth of Sogeking, the mighty warrior of the sea.
As someone whos already caught up, I can say that Usopp reacted a little bit too sensitive. Of course the ship, which Kaya gave him, meant a lot to him and he saw it as a crewmember and he was also scared that he would be the next crewmember whos been sorted out, but AFTER ALL Luffy IS still the captain and when the captain makes a choice, EVERYONE has to follow them. ( Of course not every choice is right even If its from the captain but thats another topic)
I dont deny the fact that It was also Luffys fault, but even as the captain he is still HUMAN and he has his problems too and he is not just the superhappy and goofy person, which we always see.
In this arc Zorro was the GOAT. He reacted like he should as a vice-captain and took over when Luffy couldnt. Hes just the best written character :) -> Zorros also a great example of how a person should react in such situations. He kept a cool head, tought logically and didnt let his emotions take over.
( This all is just MY OPINION and it dosent mean that IT HAS TO BE RIGHT; If u think different about it thats great but this if how I see it!!) ^^
I don't think anyone predicted they would cry over a ship, but here we are. 😂
3:58 nic's hair looking like merry on the stick there.
Usopp is like Batman, he's a god when he knows his enemy and has prep time.
I swear if Usopp doesn't get a 1v1 fight in the final saga, I am going to riot! Van Augur, where are you?! Fall to the hands of God Usopp already!
Imagine a fight between them were Usopp has to predict with his [REDACTED] where Van Augur is going to appear, which would look to most like Usopp shooting into nowhere, but in reality it would stop Van Augur from having enough time to take aim.
Since they're both snipers the fight should take over the entire island. What would be cool, could be if they were going to intervene in everyones fight, since they're all in range of those two. Imagine the final Luffy vs Kaido fight, but Usopp and Van Augur are there making it even a bigger mess.
This will happen again but luffy is more mature.. i dont even think i even remember watching the anime version, read it once and that's it. If you are wondering which one I'm talking about, its whole cake island arc.
It makes me cry everytime 😢
Usopp feels useless in this moment and feels like Luffy will abandon him like he is doing to Merry who is now useless
remember me when i was middle school in 2009 i watch this arc on my tv national channel this eps is heartbreaking dude i can't hold my tear in my eyes 🥲
"We're not playing the pirates"
"I'm over here crying over a fucking ship!"
"One of us! One of if us" an entire fanbase
ODA DOES NOT MISS
"turn that shit into anger!" well, he did do that XD
Usopp felt like his only contribution to the crew was the marry
This fight was the first and only time one piece has made me cry
This arc was so hard and painful to watch but necessary for the gang's growth. I can't stop crying when I remember those episodes.
The top of my right arm sleeve tattoo is Merry. I loved that ship.
“What is he gonna join the team again and never do anything like this again”. Why tf would even say this, prewatched af lmao. That’s him rewatching this and realising he never this cool again lol
"where has thud usopp been?" friend this is usopp with prep time, something he never has with the straw hats fight on sight tactics
In an interview, Oda said that to this day, this fight is the longest Luffy went without smiling in the manga.
This is why it's really best to have a Angel's heart and a Devil's Mind.....
Let me explain why I said it:-
The scene where Luffy was about to say that like telling Usopp to leave the crew that's the scene where it proves Luffy's innocence even from mind....like he really was going say that and apologize later if Sanji would not have kicked him...and that's when he apologized asap..... that's the thing a person with Angel's Mind would do
But if he had a mind of a devil means....he would have completely understand the situation and felt for usopp just like it happened but instead of going on a argument with Usopp....after analysing his side he would have faked more pain (the pain he was feeling for Going Marry) and would have never said that what caused all of this, what caused usopp to say all those stuffs afterwards and think bad about Luffy's character. Imo a little bit of manipulation like this is not bad at all.....but unfortunately that is so rare and that's why ppl go into arguments like this and break so many bonds 😞😞😫
Usopp uses shuriken machine gun like projectiles, gas, explosions, caltrops, various dials. WOW! i wonder how he will use these techniques in the future?! LMAO
Wait until you see the Man with the baby suit will make you cry :)
Gotta remember usopp has always been this strong. You don't just end up on the strawhat crew and be weak, they're all absurdly strong in their own ways.
Sanji kicking now to Luffy: thank you sanji
Sanji kicking in 808 to luffy:
Fuck you sanji
Pre- time skip fr better than post timeskip. You never get scenes like this anymore.
It's not just because of Kaya. Later on, Usopp described Merry as "terminally ill" after saying he knew what bad shape it was in. To use that wording... who else in his life abandoned a terminally ill person? I still think that Usopp's biggest lie is that he has no ill will towards Yasopp.
Even after all these years... Still hurts😢
the moment u realize Zoro didnt raise a finger when his captain got kicked by sanji means that this is one of those rare instances where they agree on something
Bro,most people fall on luffy side just because him and zoro are more popular than usopp but imho usopp was right and luffy was an asshole for changing everyone home without consulting with them.
