You’re telling me Soge King is still out there somewhere? Where even is he?? It’s been so long since we’ve seen him since Enies Lobby I hope we see him again..
A more "classic lit" version of this would be the Dumbo treatment. Usopp asks Ms. Goldenweek to use her power to make him brave and strong, and she fakes it, but he believes in her enough that it makes him believe in himself and voila. Cut to comedic bit of Usopp declaring that he can't be frightened because of the symbol on his back and Luffy immediately pointing and asking "what symbol?" And Usopp goes right back to afraid for a moment before hyping himself up again by realizing "the bravery was within him all along." But yours is better.
@@ANunes06 I really like yours too though.. That'd be a fun scene, and I could see it totally fitting the general vibes and comedic timing of big Usopp fights..
I want to see a reverse Mjolnir where Giants and other strong characters try to pull back his slingshot, and realize that Kabuto needs an insane amount of strength to use
I do think there is a way for Usopp's Kabuto to get a paramecia devil fruit, because it is technically already a living creature. Being made out of a venus fly-trap type plant, it could potentially eat a devil fruit itself.
Blackbeard likely ate a Bai Ze devil fruit Its a creature in chinese mythology that kills an earthquake yokai and takes its power, it also has 3 souls and holds knowledge about a great deal of things, and has two faces on its sides, which explains Blackbeards jolly roger with the skull in the middle and the two coming out of the sides behind it Blackbeards laugh is "zehahaha" and if you notice, a lot of devil fruit users, in japanese, laugh like their devil fruit name, and Blackbeards laugh isnt "yamimimimi" Not every laugh is related to the devil fruit name but theres enough to make a connection about it.
Van Augur being hypnotized to become as negative as Usopp naturally is during their duel, through the use of color trap paintballs is my new favorite theory. its a long shot, but its just sounds too perfect of a scene with how smug Augur has been throughout the whole series.
Since a couple of the giants like Gerd and Rodo are shown with pets, I'd like to see Usopp with some kind of pet, too. An animal he can ride so he doesn't have to stand still when shooting. Maybe something like a giant beetle (which he totally should've gotten while he was in the Bowin Archipelago).
Of ways to upgrade Usopp’s arsenal I think what would be a great idea along with botany is to make Crossbred Pop Greens where by crossbreeding the various Pop Green flowers to then maybe make Pop Green with either a mixture of the seed’s abilities or even able to make all new abilities, but love you pointing out about Miss Goldneweek & also during Skypiea arc Usopp used hypnosis (kind of) with Usopp Spell

Going with the hammer theory. It could be how Oda explains the devil fruits. Usopp uses a hammer and has a will to use heavy hammers and long range weapons so due to his will he will find a fruit that gives him insane strength but can only channel it through a hammer/ any other weapon which will also allow him to use more haki abilities to improve this ability as we already know you can train how to improve this haki type Idk tho might not make any sense
This was a good video until 22:30 where you callously imply Usopp is Sogeking. Now this entire video makes no sense. It’s so obvious they’re different people. Sogeking wears a mask. Usopp doesn’t… case closed.
Hey this my 2:10 theory I think that usopp is going to get sogeking level two transformation we haven't seen him use sogeking at all in the post time skip I don't think he's going to get a devil fruit but instead something like a confidence boost in the pre time skip era usopp used sogeking as a way to beat his emotions and give himself the bravery he need to win so why not give sogeking a second and this time around make him op
Imu is a water dragon and Ussop will have his slingshot eat the Thor hammer fruit or Odens spear fruit, he'll be the only one that can wield it, and it'll become a legendary weapon
you really have the ability to make be believe the craziest shit, if you told me before this video that miss goldenweek would teach usopp how to use her hipnosis paint in elbaf and that rainbow ability could make a return of sogeking i'd call you crazy, and now its my headcanon
Remember how he beat Mr. 4 in Alabasta? It would be awesome if, when it starts raining, the paint wears off, and then he needs to be brave. So, he picks up the Mjolnir, with thunder and lightning in the background making him look menacing, and then he uses the Mjolnir as a slingshot bullet-just like he did with Mr. 4. Then, Van Augur teleports Mjolnir to the other side of the world, but it comes back, traveling across the globe to hit Van Augur. It perfectly fits the theme of Van Augur trying to change his fate by teleporting Mjolnir, but it’s his fate to be hit; nobody can change fate.
The Problem is People are expecting ttoo much from Ussop. But Ussop will always be the weakest member of the crew. Because his whole character is about Despite being weak He is still able to Pull through so much challanges. I believe he will become the real Sniper King till the end of the series. But If someone is expecting him to beat an Admiral Obviously that's never gonna happen. The powerUps He actually need are - 1. He needs an whole character development to be brave. Whenever he sees a stronger Opponent he Just runs away. If he can clearly think in front of a Stronger Opponent than He can create a very good Plan to defeat him. 2. He needs to master the same Haki technique He used against Sugar. 3. He needs to use Armament haki on his Bullets 4. Like you said He needs a better weopon and Better ammo. He already has great sniping skills but with these Upgrades, He will become stronger than Ban Auger or Yasoop.
1 - he already gone thro a whole character developemt and it's insane that you still ask him to have more character development to become more brave. there's no bravery without fear, it would be just recklessly. 2 - On that I agree, he must acknoledge that he's also a haki user and to fully start using it for his advantage. 3. - cannot do, you can't pass haki of any type to another living being, his weapon is alive and his bullets are alive. (Unless you talk about the method that Joy boy used with the strings) 4 - It's the giants Island, everything is huge in there so he would obviously get something soon, not only that. the vegapunks are on their way there too, so he will get an upgrade to the upgrade.
Tbh, Oda took away everything he accomplished for Usopp. Yes Usopp was weak. But he stood up, he stood in for his mates, and he was creative. Now he is mainly whiny and didn't even stand up to defend Luffys reputation, because he doesnt want to die. Didn't stop him when he was a way weaker guy back in Alabasta. I would prefer if there was just a few new characters per arc that get effective panel time and give the strawhats their growth again.
@@derpderpson8796 Yes I completely agree, Post time-skip In each arc Mostly Luffy and zoro get the emphasis and spotlight. Sanji rarelly gets any emphasis. Jimbei doesn't have any emphasis or spotlight. He was supposed to fight Jack in wano but ended up fighting a racist cat. In egghead , he got turned into a warehouse employee. Brook, Robin, Franky, Ussop have gotten spotlight ONLY a single time. Nami, chopper don't even have ANY spotlight. It's crazy when you realize that Post time-skip is more than 500 Chapters but crew-members aren't even getting any spotlight. This is also the reason I like Pre-Time Skip One piece more than Post-Time skip. Pre Time-skip, In each arc, almost each crew member used to get emphasis and spotlight. Remember the days when Ussop defeated character like Perona or Chopper beating a CP-9 agent.
@@amansharma4358 damn, that Who s Who fight....still the weirdest fight in OP history for me. Being in literal war: Ay Jimbei mate, you heard of that Nika sungod slavesavior guy? Damn really reminds me that one time this red haired freak ...*continues monologue*
@@amansharma4358 I'm waiting a bit for egghead since I watch english dub since it's easier to understand for me, and I was SOOO excited for jinbei and now I'm seeing people say he becomes a warehouse employee... it makes me so disappointed as since impel down I've always wanted jinbei apart of the crew, and now that he is, he's just a disappointment :(
I think a shard of Mjolnir as Ammo would be a great powerup. Basically one really strong piece of ammo he can call back again if needed. Gives great shenanigans for the (originally) most creative crewmember. Great theory overall!
Insanely good theory! Made me think that maybe, after the world thinks that the Straw Hats were defeated in a future arc, Usopp will be projecting something to the whole world using the paint? This might be the straw hats waging war on the WG, paralleling Usopp burning the flag in Enies Lobby, but with the whole world joining in this time. Could the sign be related to the X sign that Luffy and Vegapunk (showed 10 fingers) both made in the newspaper, or maybe the D initial?
Thinking it's going to be his observation haki getting kicked up to 11. Instead of the kind like Shanks, Luffy, and Katakuri that's sharpened to a scalpel, it'll be a shotgun where he can tell multiple possible futures and find weak points in things. It will make his accuracy go through the roof like the time he sunk a Jango and Fullbody's ships in a single shot on "accident". Usopp's whole deal is that he's been using his tremendous observation haki by accident i.e. telling the future on accident with his lies and smoking targets he really had no business hitting. On Elbaf, he'll learn to harness that ability consciously.
TBF I *reeeaally* don't want this power up to be true. I agree that Usopp should get a boost to his combat potential that isn't just a direct increase in power. But mind control just feels cheap. I always liked the idea that, in a big pirate brawl, Usopp would be sitting at the back on a high perch and supporting his crew by shooting enemies with debuffs and small cumulative advantages. But hypnosis/emotional control just seems either broken, because you instantly win the fight, or useless, because Oda will find a way to make haki users resist it. I would prefer a closer Noland parallel if anything, where Usopp doesn't get much of a new power up, but in general just becomes more proficient and creative with the plethora of tools and experience already at his disposal.
Very few abilities in OP are completely broken in a vacuum, and in most shounen hypnosis usually has some open counter. Perona for example held a very powerful control ability and Usopp himself was resistant. Sugar's abilities were some of the strongest we've ever seen, and Usopp himself was the sole counter. There's clear narrative framing with powers of control and Usopp tbf. Usopp needs and will likely get a power up. People don't like it but Usopp was pretty much always set up to leave his role as weakest of crew. He will still have the lowest AP likely, but both Yasopp and Augur are in the higher tier of their crews, and parallels exist.
honestly usopp is not that weak, the thing is that he is almost always in close ranged combat. I don't know the reason for oda to literally always put usopp to fight melee opponents but he needs so much some type of mobility power, like van algur with teleporting but something different, maybe running, jumping, idk he needs a power to get away from the enemies so he can snipe them.
Just for note, Ms Goldenweek wouldn't be forgotten because she's up in the LA like many others in season 2, as for the rainbow there's the bifrost in norse mythos. this will be an Usopp chopper esq arc
I don't think it'll be something like "paint" that will be the upgrade for Usopp. It's more so he discovers items that he then engineers into tools to compliment his fighting style. Think of how he's been upgrading to this point. Skypia - discovers the Dials and then engineers a new slingshot. Fishman - After discovering Pop Greens, proceeds to learn about them and then re-engineers his slingshot to compliment the new ammo. The key thing is Oda has made Usopp an engineer as well as a sniper (he engineered Nami's Clima Tact, remember). So more than anything, I believe Oda will have Usopp use his engineering skills to incorporate a possible tool/ammo/weapon/etc. he discovers on Elbaph into his arsenal that will give him new capabilities, whether it be firepower, mobility, utility, or even reconnaissance to compliment his sniper abilities. Also, looking up info about Vikings, they appear to have had no culture about wearing face paint or anything of that nature (except maybe some eyeliner). With that in mind, how would Usopp discover paint in Elbaph that allows him to hypnotize people? Lastly, Miss Goldenweek didn't have "magical paint". Her ability derived from her unique artstyle as a professional painter to hypnotize people. The paint itself had no special qualities, it's just plain paint that could be bought anywhere, it was Miss Goldenweek's painter skills itself that made the ability work.
Personally, like most fans, I think Usopp’s powerup will be a hammer; but in terms of how it would tie into his sniping, I see him either being able to aim & shoot lightning bolts with a Thor-like hammer, or likelier that he’d slingshot the hammer (like you mentioned) much like he did in Alabasta when fighting Mr.4 & Ms Christmas.
Usopp coating his attacks in haki and being able use kings haki to knock out weak people that get to close note dressrosa where unnamed people native to the island held usopp down when he was sniping sugar.
thats very interesting idea. thinking a little about it,seens that the popgreens itself arent beeing used to their fullest potential,with crossbreeding and new species. About the Hammer,if the idea of the Mjölnir is to become real,it would be interesting to see it used in the Kabuto,turning it essencially into a stationary canon [using the weight of the hammer to give more stabilty] to use heavier ammo [and of course the use of itself as a closecombat when necessary]
I just love usopp . Because he is mostly like human in that crew he gets afraid when he saw strong guys he ,he tends to fight back for his friends, he is honest ,etc.........
I think to go along with the paintballs, he should have a mask to show he is the true sniper king (maybe he gets it from the real sogeking from a contest) and acts as an upgrade to the goggles. Maybe the mask has illusion creation abilities using haki or maybe just a observation haki multiplier
Hey man, i got to say, i don't like your theories, never did. I'm not saying their not good, it's just my subjective opinion. But I keep watching your videos because I love the build up and the informations you provide, I always learn or see something from a different perspective thanks to you and how you think outside of the box. Even if I don't agree with your theories I'll keep enjoying your videos and the work you put in. Thank you !
I think Usopp main upgrade might be gaining significantly better command over his CoO, maybe by staying calm and being brave under pressure. I think op CoO could be very powerful for Usopp both as sniper and as strategist
I remember reading that Usopp made up a lie that he ate a mushroom and fell ill. I think that might come true based on this video. I'm early into the video so I don't know if that'll be pointed out lol
You have a solid theory with the paint. He could even use the paint as like battle paint to paint himself as a Brave warrior using the emotion paint kempo!
I think he's going to get a homing ability to his shots. I think his conquers haki will be just enough to coat a bullet giving it the ability to track his tragets no matter where they go/teleport. No one seems to think about the most important part of the sniper king song "LOCK ON".
I reckon Usop nose will be his upgrade he'll learn to combine future haki with smell with either sensory deprevation helmet or his father will share a technique durring a davy back with the strawhats
I do think Usopp will get Conquers Haki but he can only use it accidently when he's scared enough. Also I think he will use the craftsmanship found in Elbaf in combination with his engineering ability to make something that will be a great add on to what his big upgrade will be
This video is starting to make me think this is going to be the Alabasta Reunion. Vivi's active, the Alabasta 6 are on Elbaph, the crew that Crocodile's in have all the reason to target the Straw Hats, and somehow you managed to connect Marianne's cover story with Usopp's potential. If this actually happens, this is going to be the most awkward reunion to happen 2 years later.
Maybe in this arc it is revealed that either sniper island does exist or maybe snipers live on one of the realms and usopp gets a major upgrade there. Like a devil fruit for his kabuto.
I like the idea of paint ball but also because another extra theory. Failed smiles fruits make you smile, as the same as Ms Goldenweek did to Luffy. If we learn in Elbaf about devil fruits, and therefore about smiles and therefore about how them failing creates laughs, then everything has sense. The same substance is what Miss Goldenweek uses on her paint, the same substance that Django has in his mushroom and the same substance that Caesar/Vegapunk used to create S.A.D. Probably that also has relation to pyrobloin in someform. About that, i think pyrobloin is formed in Wano and then, flies towards Elbaf making them giants.
I think adam trees wood will be used in a new slingshot and mask, so he bedomes a true sniperkint and the slingshot can increase and decrease in force and capture energy mainly kinetic so when its pulled back the energy is stored and he can take logia energy and use it to make his kabuto stronger
Another hypnosis user is Porche from the foxy pirates. notably, she uses plants in the form of a bouquet of flowers to put her opponents into a deep sleep.
It'd be cool if he gets the "eye" Odin (or OPs Odin) loses. Odin removed one of his eyes for wisdom and perception in Norse Mythology, but he still had future sight. Maybe it could work like a superzoom/observation Haki. It's pretty out there and will probably never happen but hey it ties into the theme
I really want Usopp to learn hakoku (or ikoku?) it would be so hype to see him fire a hakoku from his slingshot and sink a ship on the spot. A marksman with the strength and courage to surpass his yonko crewmate father
The paintbrush on the end of his sniper! I'm betting on it. I had a dream about this so there's a chance it could be correct. I also dreamed about the Kaido fight years before it happened and even before I knew that One Piece existed.
something is up with that sword... maybe it can be a stand in for mjolnir and excalibur. maybe it can change forms, and maybe Usopp can wield it. highly unlikely, but I'd like to see it.
I mean, theoretically, Usopp could get a Mjölnir-like hammer and still make it about sniping. Imagine it's the size of MCU Thor's Mjölnir, so pretty small. Usopp could use that thing as reusable/returning ammo for his slingshot, that would be pretty cool. It also would be kinda stupid and funny, which is right up Oda's alley. They could even include some Odin-like enchantment to the thing, that only the truly brave can use this hammer, making it a symbol for Usopp's improvement on Elbaf. Or more fittingly, they could make the One Piece version of Mjölnir a weapon that ate a devil fruit. I still do think it is unlikely to happen, but it surely isn't impossible.
Imagine how hype it would be if Soge King came back to inspire Usopp to be a brave warrior of the sea just like him.
I miss Soge King its been forever since we last saw him
I hope we get to see soge kings real identity soon
You’re telling me Soge King is still out there somewhere? Where even is he?? It’s been so long since we’ve seen him since Enies Lobby I hope we see him again..

@joelbarr1163 He needs a hammer with a devil fruit that weighs nothing for him to carry But too heavy for everyone else that's super powerful
Never expected this Usopp video to centre around paint. Mihawk will be jealous unlike any other.
Usopp is going to steal his title of The World Strongest Painter.
This is a great take. Usopp already ate a mushroom. He said taste really bad and now he refuses to eat anymore.
He needs a hammer with a devil fruit In it that makes it super powerful and only usopp can pick it up
I do think there is a way for Usopp's Kabuto to get a paramecia devil fruit, because it is technically already a living creature. Being made out of a venus fly-trap type plant, it could potentially eat a devil fruit itself.
Conisding Yggdrasil has a realm for the dwarves(Svartalfheim), who are master builders, maybe Usopp can find these builders and upgrade his ammuntion.
Blackbeard likely ate a Bai Ze devil fruit
Its a creature in chinese mythology that kills an earthquake yokai and takes its power, it also has 3 souls and holds knowledge about a great deal of things, and has two faces on its sides, which explains Blackbeards jolly roger with the skull in the middle and the two coming out of the sides behind it

Idk tho might not make any sense
This was a good video until 22:30 where you callously imply Usopp is Sogeking. Now this entire video makes no sense. It’s so obvious they’re different people. Sogeking wears a mask. Usopp doesn’t… case closed.
Hey this my 2:10 theory I think that usopp is going to get sogeking level two transformation we haven't seen him use sogeking at all in the post time skip I don't think he's going to get a devil fruit but instead something like a confidence boost in the pre time skip era usopp used sogeking as a way to beat his emotions and give himself the bravery he need to win so why not give sogeking a second and this time around make him op
If usopp gets a mythological weapon i hope its Gunnir (odins spear that if thrown is garranted to hit its target)
uusop is the batman of the group ... no superpowers but really resourceful
I'ma be honest man. I may not always *believe* your theories, but I almost always want them to come true. This shit is gold. Give Usopp D. Powerup
Imu is a water dragon and Ussop will have his slingshot eat the Thor hammer fruit or Odens spear fruit, he'll be the only one that can wield it, and it'll become a legendary weapon
This was a really cool theory man
you really have the ability to make be believe the craziest shit, if you told me before this video that miss goldenweek would teach usopp how to use her hipnosis paint in elbaf and that rainbow ability could make a return of sogeking i'd call you crazy, and now its my headcanon
Remember how he beat Mr. 4 in Alabasta? It would be awesome if, when it starts raining, the paint wears off, and then he needs to be brave. So, he picks up the Mjolnir, with thunder and lightning in the background making him look menacing, and then he uses the Mjolnir as a slingshot bullet-just like he did with Mr. 4. Then, Van Augur teleports Mjolnir to the other side of the world, but it comes back, traveling across the globe to hit Van Augur. It perfectly fits the theme of Van Augur trying to change his fate by teleporting Mjolnir, but it’s his fate to be hit; nobody can change fate.
The Problem is People are expecting ttoo much from Ussop. But Ussop will always be the weakest member of the crew. Because his whole character is about Despite being weak He is still able to Pull through so much challanges. I believe he will become the real Sniper King till the end of the series. But If someone is expecting him to beat an Admiral Obviously that's never gonna happen.
The powerUps He actually need are -
1. He needs an whole character development to be brave. Whenever he sees a stronger Opponent he Just runs away. If he can clearly think in front of a Stronger Opponent than He can create a very good Plan to defeat him.
2. He needs to master the same Haki technique He used against Sugar.
3. He needs to use Armament haki on his Bullets
4. Like you said He needs a better weopon and Better ammo.
He already has great sniping skills but with these Upgrades, He will become stronger than Ban Auger or Yasoop.
1 - he already gone thro a whole character developemt and it's insane that you still ask him to have more character development to become more brave. there's no bravery without fear, it would be just recklessly.
2 - On that I agree, he must acknoledge that he's also a haki user and to fully start using it for his advantage.
3. - cannot do, you can't pass haki of any type to another living being, his weapon is alive and his bullets are alive. (Unless you talk about the method that Joy boy used with the strings)
4 - It's the giants Island, everything is huge in there so he would obviously get something soon, not only that. the vegapunks are on their way there too, so he will get an upgrade to the upgrade.
Tbh, Oda took away everything he accomplished for Usopp. Yes Usopp was weak. But he stood up, he stood in for his mates, and he was creative. Now he is mainly whiny and didn't even stand up to defend Luffys reputation, because he doesnt want to die.
Didn't stop him when he was a way weaker guy back in Alabasta.
I would prefer if there was just a few new characters per arc that get effective panel time and give the strawhats their growth again.
@@derpderpson8796
Yes I completely agree, Post time-skip In each arc Mostly Luffy and zoro get the emphasis and spotlight.
Sanji rarelly gets any emphasis.
Jimbei doesn't have any emphasis or spotlight. He was supposed to fight Jack in wano but ended up fighting a racist cat. In egghead , he got turned into a warehouse employee.
Brook, Robin, Franky, Ussop have gotten spotlight ONLY a single time.
Nami, chopper don't even have ANY spotlight.
It's crazy when you realize that Post time-skip is more than 500 Chapters but crew-members aren't even getting any spotlight.
This is also the reason I like Pre-Time Skip One piece more than Post-Time skip.
Pre Time-skip, In each arc, almost each crew member used to get emphasis and spotlight. Remember the days when Ussop defeated character like Perona or Chopper beating a CP-9 agent.
@@amansharma4358 damn, that Who s Who fight....still the weirdest fight in OP history for me.
Being in literal war:
Ay Jimbei mate, you heard of that Nika sungod slavesavior guy?
Damn really reminds me that one time this red haired freak ...*continues monologue*
@@amansharma4358 I'm waiting a bit for egghead since I watch english dub since it's easier to understand for me, and I was SOOO excited for jinbei
and now I'm seeing people say he becomes a warehouse employee... it makes me so disappointed as since impel down I've always wanted jinbei apart of the crew, and now that he is, he's just a disappointment :(
I think a shard of Mjolnir as Ammo would be a great powerup. Basically one really strong piece of ammo he can call back again if needed. Gives great shenanigans for the (originally) most creative crewmember.
Great theory overall!
I did think this was far fetched. But man once you mentioned miss golden week being shown during the Vegapunk broadcast.... You might be cookin
Insanely good theory! Made me think that maybe, after the world thinks that the Straw Hats were defeated in a future arc, Usopp will be projecting something to the whole world using the paint? This might be the straw hats waging war on the WG, paralleling Usopp burning the flag in Enies Lobby, but with the whole world joining in this time.
Could the sign be related to the X sign that Luffy and Vegapunk (showed 10 fingers) both made in the newspaper, or maybe the D initial?
Thinking it's going to be his observation haki getting kicked up to 11. Instead of the kind like Shanks, Luffy, and Katakuri that's sharpened to a scalpel, it'll be a shotgun where he can tell multiple possible futures and find weak points in things. It will make his accuracy go through the roof like the time he sunk a Jango and Fullbody's ships in a single shot on "accident". Usopp's whole deal is that he's been using his tremendous observation haki by accident i.e. telling the future on accident with his lies and smoking targets he really had no business hitting. On Elbaf, he'll learn to harness that ability consciously.
I reaaally hope this is the case, he deserves it! Also best doggy pfp
Dak is that guy.
TBF I *reeeaally* don't want this power up to be true. I agree that Usopp should get a boost to his combat potential that isn't just a direct increase in power. But mind control just feels cheap. I always liked the idea that, in a big pirate brawl, Usopp would be sitting at the back on a high perch and supporting his crew by shooting enemies with debuffs and small cumulative advantages. But hypnosis/emotional control just seems either broken, because you instantly win the fight, or useless, because Oda will find a way to make haki users resist it. I would prefer a closer Noland parallel if anything, where Usopp doesn't get much of a new power up, but in general just becomes more proficient and creative with the plethora of tools and experience already at his disposal.
That could work:0.
Ussop needs some Battleship Bag training 😤. Speed and agility to match Van Auger
Very few abilities in OP are completely broken in a vacuum, and in most shounen hypnosis usually has some open counter. Perona for example held a very powerful control ability and Usopp himself was resistant. Sugar's abilities were some of the strongest we've ever seen, and Usopp himself was the sole counter. There's clear narrative framing with powers of control and Usopp tbf. Usopp needs and will likely get a power up. People don't like it but Usopp was pretty much always set up to leave his role as weakest of crew. He will still have the lowest AP likely, but both Yasopp and Augur are in the higher tier of their crews, and parallels exist.
Slight correction. Sanji didnt want to wat bugs he wanted to their honey. Officials were very different.
He is back cookin
honestly usopp is not that weak, the thing is that he is almost always in close ranged combat. I don't know the reason for oda to literally always put usopp to fight melee opponents but he needs so much some type of mobility power, like van algur with teleporting but something different, maybe running, jumping, idk he needs a power to get away from the enemies so he can snipe them.
Just for note, Ms Goldenweek wouldn't be forgotten because she's up in the LA like many others in season 2, as for the rainbow there's the bifrost in norse mythos. this will be an Usopp chopper esq arc
I don't think it'll be something like "paint" that will be the upgrade for Usopp. It's more so he discovers items that he then engineers into tools to compliment his fighting style. Think of how he's been upgrading to this point. Skypia - discovers the Dials and then engineers a new slingshot. Fishman - After discovering Pop Greens, proceeds to learn about them and then re-engineers his slingshot to compliment the new ammo. The key thing is Oda has made Usopp an engineer as well as a sniper (he engineered Nami's Clima Tact, remember). So more than anything, I believe Oda will have Usopp use his engineering skills to incorporate a possible tool/ammo/weapon/etc. he discovers on Elbaph into his arsenal that will give him new capabilities, whether it be firepower, mobility, utility, or even reconnaissance to compliment his sniper abilities.
Also, looking up info about Vikings, they appear to have had no culture about wearing face paint or anything of that nature (except maybe some eyeliner). With that in mind, how would Usopp discover paint in Elbaph that allows him to hypnotize people?
Lastly, Miss Goldenweek didn't have "magical paint". Her ability derived from her unique artstyle as a professional painter to hypnotize people. The paint itself had no special qualities, it's just plain paint that could be bought anywhere, it was Miss Goldenweek's painter skills itself that made the ability work.
Personally, like most fans, I think Usopp’s powerup will be a hammer; but in terms of how it would tie into his sniping, I see him either being able to aim & shoot lightning bolts with a Thor-like hammer, or likelier that he’d slingshot the hammer (like you mentioned) much like he did in Alabasta when fighting Mr.4 & Ms Christmas.
Usopp coating his attacks in haki and being able use kings haki to knock out weak people that get to close note dressrosa where unnamed people native to the island held usopp down when he was sniping sugar.
I really hope it’s an upgrade to his goggles, like Odin’s eye of wisdom to know everything that is happening in the world
thats very interesting idea. thinking a little about it,seens that the popgreens itself arent beeing used to their fullest potential,with crossbreeding and new species. About the Hammer,if the idea of the Mjölnir is to become real,it would be interesting to see it used in the Kabuto,turning it essencially into a stationary canon [using the weight of the hammer to give more stabilty] to use heavier ammo [and of course the use of itself as a closecombat when necessary]
Ussop getting Kanjuro fruit would be sick 🔥🔥
I just love usopp . Because he is mostly like human in that crew he gets afraid when he saw strong guys he ,he tends to fight back for his friends, he is honest ,etc.........
I think to go along with the paintballs, he should have a mask to show he is the true sniper king (maybe he gets it from the real sogeking from a contest) and acts as an upgrade to the goggles. Maybe the mask has illusion creation abilities using haki or maybe just a observation haki multiplier
God dude you hit my One Piece vein sooooooo good. Keep em coming. Appreciate you.
Hey man, i got to say, i don't like your theories, never did. I'm not saying their not good, it's just my subjective opinion. But I keep watching your videos because I love the build up and the informations you provide, I always learn or see something from a different perspective thanks to you and how you think outside of the box. Even if I don't agree with your theories I'll keep enjoying your videos and the work you put in. Thank you !
LOL, Most his theories come true, like this one literally seems to be 2 and a half weeks later!
Damn gang you’re not gonna like this chapter 😂
Miss goldenweek's power clearly derive from the shapes and colours not some sort of magic paint like that's a wild assumption
I will love Usopp when he will do something.
I think Usopp main upgrade might be gaining significantly better command over his CoO, maybe by staying calm and being brave under pressure. I think op CoO could be very powerful for Usopp both as sniper and as strategist
I remember reading that Usopp made up a lie that he ate a mushroom and fell ill. I think that might come true based on this video. I'm early into the video so I don't know if that'll be pointed out lol
It's either something he made up or happened before he met the strawhats
This genuinely makes too much sense incredible theory
You have a solid theory with the paint. He could even use the paint as like battle paint to paint himself as a Brave warrior using the emotion paint kempo!
Maybe Usopp might eat a hito-hito no mi devil fruit model pinocchio, which could make him stronger through his lies and deception.
I'm watching this late after the reveal of the sunstones
I like how that all tied together
I think he's going to get a homing ability to his shots. I think his conquers haki will be just enough to coat a bullet giving it the ability to track his tragets no matter where they go/teleport. No one seems to think about the most important part of the sniper king song "LOCK ON".
I reckon Usop nose will be his upgrade he'll learn to combine future haki with smell with either sensory deprevation helmet or his father will share a technique durring a davy back with the strawhats
This was such a fun theory haha
But I don't think this is gonna happen...
Maybe Usopp could possibly shave down/breakdown sea prism stone into a power, mix with the paints for different traps or attacks?!
With what you said about Baroques Works agents returning I hope we see Mr. 6 & Ms. Mothers Day for the under the flag of the Cross Guild
You can say that this video is about Ms Goldenweek with a little Usopp on it. 😁
Kidding, Thank for the video. I enjoyed watching it.
I do think Usopp will get Conquers Haki but he can only use it accidently when he's scared enough. Also I think he will use the craftsmanship found in Elbaf in combination with his engineering ability to make something that will be a great add on to what his big upgrade will be
Solid theory, I actually hope it is true. I would love to see Usopp get that kind of upgrade
This video is starting to make me think this is going to be the Alabasta Reunion. Vivi's active, the Alabasta 6 are on Elbaph, the crew that Crocodile's in have all the reason to target the Straw Hats, and somehow you managed to connect Marianne's cover story with Usopp's potential. If this actually happens, this is going to be the most awkward reunion to happen 2 years later.
Maybe in this arc it is revealed that either sniper island does exist or maybe snipers live on one of the realms and usopp gets a major upgrade there. Like a devil fruit for his kabuto.
I dont even care for a huge power up I just want Usopp to realize he is a GOAT MAN
I had wished that someone would ask a question to oda regarding usopp's power up in the latest SBS!
I like the idea of paint ball but also because another extra theory. Failed smiles fruits make you smile, as the same as Ms Goldenweek did to Luffy. If we learn in Elbaf about devil fruits, and therefore about smiles and therefore about how them failing creates laughs, then everything has sense. The same substance is what Miss Goldenweek uses on her paint, the same substance that Django has in his mushroom and the same substance that Caesar/Vegapunk used to create S.A.D. Probably that also has relation to pyrobloin in someform. About that, i think pyrobloin is formed in Wano and then, flies towards Elbaf making them giants.
Crocodile isn't angry about being dressed as the pirate king, he's shocked and confused. He forgot his own dreams up until that moment.
imagine that one norse legend of the ring that infinitely duplicates itself, infinite ammo
Love the idea of paint balls. Hypno paint balls is INSANELY COOL
The Sniper King with Colors Trap ammo would be a cool idea, though I could see Oda build up his Haki.
I think adam trees wood will be used in a new slingshot and mask, so he bedomes a true sniperkint and the slingshot can increase and decrease in force and capture energy mainly kinetic so when its pulled back the energy is stored and he can take logia energy and use it to make his kabuto stronger
Another hypnosis user is Porche from the foxy pirates. notably, she uses plants in the form of a bouquet of flowers to put her opponents into a deep sleep.
It'd be cool if he gets the "eye" Odin (or OPs Odin) loses. Odin removed one of his eyes for wisdom and perception in Norse Mythology, but he still had future sight. Maybe it could work like a superzoom/observation Haki. It's pretty out there and will probably never happen but hey it ties into the theme
I really want Usopp to learn hakoku (or ikoku?) it would be so hype to see him fire a hakoku from his slingshot and sink a ship on the spot. A marksman with the strength and courage to surpass his yonko crewmate father
The paintbrush on the end of his sniper! I'm betting on it. I had a dream about this so there's a chance it could be correct. I also dreamed about the Kaido fight years before it happened and even before I knew that One Piece existed.
He could probably learn about these plants from Loki since Loki is the God of Mischief. Playing with people’s emotions is his thing
The paint could be a form of emotional haki that gets infused into it. Like how Luffy has emotional observation, perhaps its emotional infusion.
Usopp power up theories will never stop until oda will do something about it.😂
Wow, now I really wanna see Usopp use the Color Trap ability to paint the Bifrost bridge. Color me convinced!
something is up with that sword... maybe it can be a stand in for mjolnir and excalibur. maybe it can change forms, and maybe Usopp can wield it. highly unlikely, but I'd like to see it.
a bit outside the box? thats what Oda wants. Great video
Good job as always Dak 😁.
I really love this Ussop theory .
Seems almost kinda certain ❤
Did anyone else notice he didn't mention Zoro improving his haki, as well as his abilities, just him getting new swords?
Ussop is so talented can't wait for his power up
I mean, theoretically, Usopp could get a Mjölnir-like hammer and still make it about sniping.
Imagine it's the size of MCU Thor's Mjölnir, so pretty small. Usopp could use that thing as reusable/returning ammo for his slingshot, that would be pretty cool. It also would be kinda stupid and funny, which is right up Oda's alley.
They could even include some Odin-like enchantment to the thing, that only the truly brave can use this hammer, making it a symbol for Usopp's improvement on Elbaf. Or more fittingly, they could make the One Piece version of Mjölnir a weapon that ate a devil fruit.
I still do think it is unlikely to happen, but it surely isn't impossible.
Dak this video kicked ass. Very good stuff.
keep the vids coming boi
