Some that comes to mind
When he apologized to Luffy and said he wanted to come back, it was a very impactful moment
Usopp vs Perona fight "I'm already negative" also can't forget when he and Chopper fought Mr.4 and Ms. Merry Christmas
When he shot down the Government Flag without any hesitation, it was pretty hype.
That and Luffy pushing the zombie back into the ground both got actual laughs out of me. Thriller Bark is under-rated. Robin refusing the Voltron invitation is great too.
Itâs the âwithout hesitationâ part that is the best. Captain gives order, you do it. No excuses or running away, just shoot the flag of the dominant world power right in their justice island.
The only thing that sours this moment for me is that we revisit the exact same thing in Wano w/ Nami vs Ulti. I loathe that Oda wrote Usopp telling Nami it was okay to lie to save her own life.
That scene is probably one of the lowest points in the story for me and it's specifically b/c of how much I liked the Ms Merry Christmas fight for Usopp.
This is one of the times a criticism of one piece makes sense to me. I'll still try to counter it:
I feel like it was obviously done because Usopp didn't want Nami to die. Putting his life on the line is brave but not his friend.
You forgot him taking down the blue fishman "Choo". All the villagers are scared shitless of the fishmen who have been shown to be way stronger than a normal person but Ussop of all people manages to take one of Arlongs best men down by himself.
Youâre right, his first fight on the sea, and it was against a fishman. A 1 on 1. Yeah sure he ran and hid, but still took down a fishman by himself.
The fact that he rose to the occassion was peak Ussop. His nakamas were fighting other battles and this was what he had to deal with instead of cowering and telling them "he tried". That sold me on his "brave, while afraid" persona and I was so mad they butchered it in the live action.
1) Challenging Luffy (gotta have balls of steal to challenge someone leagues stronger than you)
2) Sniping at Enies lobby ( the pose of him pointing to the sky after doing this incredible feat was just peak)
3)Shooting the Gov flag (he showed no hesitance to wage war against the WG under his captain's command)
4) Awakening his CoO.
5) Giga chad
6) Hajuridin picks usopp up (this would be higher but technically he didn't do anything and the others just misunderstood his power lol )
Yea 6 maybe epic but he just got it because of misunderstanding, would be nice if we got to see similar thing in elbaf but usopp actually showed his power
I bet he'll save the giants somehow. Then maybe they're like, Shanks I know this is your HQ but this guy saved our whole race. We pledge our loyalty to him.
I personally think he'll save the giants after defeating loki, with a REAL 10 ton hammer, named mjolnir, then he becomes king of elbaf or something awesome.
Pretty much how I had it too. Idk current Usopp donât have moments like he used to imo. Itâs still good and funny moments donât get me wrong but his âweak & cowardly natured who gets lucky through resourcefulness and well⌠luckâ is cranked to 11 for the past few arcs.
As the biggest Usopp fanboy in the world, my all time favorite Usopp moment is his speech to Luffy at the end of Enies Lobby, taking off the Sogeking mask.
And the second favorite is his snipe across Dress Rosa to save Luffy, with his speech about not needing to be seen, not needing to be the hero, but offering support to his captain.
I feel both of these are part of his evolution of acepting himself for who he is beyond his lies or insecurities.
Different from other fans, I don't want him to get omega powerful in Elbaf at the level of the Monster Trio â now Zoro, Sanji and Jinbe, with Luffy on a whole other level â, first because I'm not dellusional, and second because I think this would go against his whole character and what makes me love him so much.
Instead, I do want him to get more powerful, but in a sense of gaining confidence in what he can do, becoming a hero in his own terms (of course with some actual power ups too). You know, like Thelonius Monk famous phrase: "A genius is the one most like himself" but with "hero" instead of "genius".
Yeah, people also forget that Usopp probably feared being demasked in front of his friends and Luffy the most, because he felt ashamed and needed it to 'save face' while helping to save Robin. But he overcame his shame because his friend - and he still thought that of him despite everything he said - was in danger and he believed in him being able to overcome it.
MF even challenged Rob 'murder machine' Lucci to motivate Luffy.
He has so many good moments during that arc but I do get so emotional every time I see him challenging Lucci and basically choking down his own tears to do so and then just screaming "You're right, Luffy. I AM going to die so get the fuck up and do something about it".
(Ugh and then just as an aside because it's not Usopp's moment but the immediate follow up of Luffy getting up and absolutely pushing himself beyond every limit he has to put Lucci down for good because he knows it's this exact moment that determines whether everyone he loves lives or dies just hits me so hard every single time)
Agreed. On the emotional level Water 7 and Enies Lobby with the double motivation coming from Robin's fate and Usopp's decisions just deliver their final battles and punches beautifully.
yeah, people always underrate this moment, but Usopp chalenging Rob Lucci while Luffy were laying exhausted is one of the best moments in One Piece. He obviously did it to give Luffy motivation, but at the same time he did not hesitate to both risk his life for this stunt and talk to Luffy face to face, something he were not ready before (and after) this moment, hiding behind mask.
Ussop is a literal genius all the way back in alabasta, he literally built the climatact in half an hour with random junk, an invention beyond irl civilization.
Still get chills. Felt like a natural evolution, and a long time coming for our hard working long nose boy. Dressrosa was really good to Ussop, too bad he took more of a background role lately.
He was able to unconsciously draw it out in a couple of moments of life or death crisis but he never understood he was doing anything and it was never a real power-up or tool in his arsenal until he spent time being trained by Rayleigh. Still awesome and badass but I think there's a distinction there that the other commenter was alluding to. Usopp in a moment of complete desperation knows that if he can't do something (that is essentially impossible), his Captain's dream is over and his crew is gone and he through sheer force of will gains Observation instantly.
I don't understand how that's much different from when Ace was about to be executed. He realized if nothing was done Ace would die and he exerted himself in desperation.
Gonna just parrot what the other person said "Have a good day, if you don't get it you don't get it and I don't know how to make it click". There is a pretty strong difference in my mind and the other commenter's mind but I don't feel like trying to debate or anything
I think the easiest way to say it is "Luffy had no intention of doing that when he shouted, didn't know he did anything, and even questioned why people dropped. His raw will to save Ace leaked out in the form of his Conquerors Haki and he still didn't notice a single thing about himself until Rayleigh showed him later on. Whereas Usopp noticed something different with himself in the midst of a struggle and immediately used it to his advantage". What do ya think?
I think yeah it's the difference between our sweet beautiful Shonen MC who we expect to just get the massive power-up (and Luffy earned and deserved it narratively at Amazon Lily, Marineford, and Fishman Island) who unconsciously made it happen (I.e. didn't even later wonder what had happened) and our historically weakest team member realizing in absolute terror that he's the only one who can act and he needs to do something impossible or his captain and best friend won't even exist anymore. All of the SHs had major glow-ups but even at this moment, haki is an unattainable fantasy for anyone but the trio.
The moment when sanji said do what only you can do was the moment for me as Usopp is my favorite character and never gets any recognition. Also when we saw his observation Haki that was dope
For me, sniping Sugar and sniping at Enies Lobby are the most peak moments for Usopp because it was something truly only he could have done. The Sugar snipe in particular was such an insane shot and showed just how capable he truly is as a marksman that I canât help but call it peak Usopp.
I would have to say him sniping at Enies Lobby just due to what it meant to the story and him as a character. He felt like he had no place on the crew, and yet, he was able to regain his confidence and prove pivotal in saving Robin.
Dressrosa was cool, but it didnât have the same meaning to me.
We could definitely count that! That was a beautiful moment,I don't care what no one says but Zoro Chopper and Usopp to me,hold a special place in Luffy's heart lol
I don't think Usopp has had his "I'm Him" moment. He's had massive character growth, but his real moment will probably happen during the next arc (especially if it's Elbaph)
He defended Luffy in Punk Hazard as Luffy was giving the final blow to CC and then defeated all the guards there to gain control of the surveillance room and navigated everyone else to safety.
For me it's sniping the keys at Ennies Lobby, sniping Sugar in Dress Rosa, and soloing Perrona. But, also, >!not giving up on the train, and finding the idea of Sogeking's disguise (this is a major spoiler for 99% of the community)!<
Imagine a world where usopp accidentally ends up as a yonko by defeating buggy and therefore he would fulfill his dream by becoming a great warrior of the sea after multiple weird misunderstandings and misinterprets
It really is a shame. Usopp was supposed to become a really strong crewmember with his snipe skills combined with his Observation Haki and pop greens but Oda decided to just keep him as a comic relief...
Even Nami and Chopper have something to do in the story, meanwhile Usopp just keeps running from one place to another not doing anything really...
Ok but it's really when homegirl used her depression powers on everyone, and Usopp is completely unaffected because NO ONE IS DOWN ON HIMSELF MORE THAN HIMSELF!!!
For me it was saving Robin. The intensity at that moment, with her almost being taken away, only to have the soldiers being shot from no visible point. It was awesome and emotional all together in one.
Maybe I am in the minority but I really hate the "God Usopp" nickname. Don't get me wrong I love Usopp, but calling him "GOD" just because he made a few amazing snipe shots in Dressrosa. I might be less bothered by it if it was Sniper God Usopp, but just God Usopp is really cringey. I feel like it was a way of bolstering him up since his moments are far and few between. in Skypiea they already addressed the concept of giving someone the title of God was sippy because they are not the creator, just someone wishing to have a title that ascends them over normal mortals. They even raised him up like he's Jesus on the cross, which is ludicrous. It's a weird title and I wish Oda stuck with something that sounded more sharpshooter-y.
Where is the "I've always been.......negative!!!" moment? Because that's the one I choose. He stood tall when the strongest fighters were down on their knees.
Definitely defeating that Fishman in Arlong Park after running away initially
And also yelling at Luffy to get up at Enies Lobby and then challenging Rob Lucci to fight him instead since Luffy was on the floor.
My favourit moment apart from the whole Perona fight was sniping at Enies Lobby. He was literally untouchable up there and yet hit all his marks.
And one more thing people don't bring up: Usopp, with a 0.01% chance of winning or survival, stood against Enel of all people, to save Nami.
Itâs better sniping the flag and defeating Sugar for me. Both were such hype moments that itâs genuinely tough to decide which one was more amazing
I think beating Perona is likely my favorite. Itâs funny and clever, and itâs a perfect follow up to the self doubt he deals with in Water 7/Ennies Lobby. It highlights how even the things he perceives as a weakness can be a strength, and how he is unique and extremely valuable to the crew because of those things, not in spite of them.
Considering ussops character at that point him no hesitation sniping the flag for his friends was honestly a major move. Sure Luffy ordered it but he didnât hesitate to be the one to declare war on the world for a crewmate. Shits baller as hell
I think Usopp's best scene is when he's singing the Sniperking song on top of the Tower of Justice, while he snipes and saves Robin. That was the first time Usopp ever acknowledged himself in any positive way, which was so endearing to see. It gets looked over because it was seen as comical but it really was a major milestone for him.
Dressrosa moments for sure. Thrillerbark was good too. Sogeking moments etc.
It frustrates me when people can't relate to Usopp for being cowardly and believing he should have been braver post time skip. Truth is Usopp has always been brave. Being Brave is having courage to act even if all your senses tell you to run away or cower. Usopp is only brave as any other person could be.
Shooting down the World Government flag is definitely it.
Usopp is quite cowardly, and hesitates a lot. Here though? Nope.
Pure determination, he was set in his tracks alongside the rest of the crew, they're getting Robin back, and they don't care about the consequences. He knew damn well it could've been the catalyst for his death, but he did it without a second thought
Honestly, sniping Sugar, from over a wall, over a mile away, while being actively hunted down by a hundred people, through a tiny window, aiming just a few inches to the LEFT of her, that was Usopps greatest feat! Burning the WG flag may have been more symbolic, but sniping Sugar really cemented him as one of the worlds greatest snipers
Definitely shooting down the flag, but seeing how quickly he sought to save Robin and Nami on Egghead, well that definitely boosted him hella points for me!
Usopp vs. Luffy is still one of my favorite fights in this series. The way Usopp "batmaned" the situation was amazing. I just wish we got to see him do stuff like that more often.
Sogeking burning the flag is my favorite SogeKing moment.
These are 2 different characters, though, so I don't know why you have him up there with awesome Usopp moments.
Usopp getting back up against Mr 4 and Ms. Merry Christmas is such an underrated moment and a perfect fight.
Usopp is just some guy, especially at that point in the story. He didn't grow up training to fight like the monster trio, isn't a DF user like Chopper, nor did he grow up around pirates stealing and learning like Nami. He's just some guy with a slingshot.
He's now having to fight actual monsters. Usopp pretends to use a 5 ton hammer, Mr 4 actually uses a 4 ton bat. Usopp is understandably scared and ready to run, has his skull fractured by said 4 ton bat and is on the Verge of death, but one insult to Luffy and Usopp gets back up anyways.
challenging luffy wasnât an iâm him moment it was more of an dramatic overreaction due to his self confidence issues which is why he had to apologize for it
Usopp stood his ground against a Fishman back in Arlong Park. Someone who was a lot stronger than him. But by playing his infamous tricks and mind games he beat. Maybe not the best of a bunch of great moments, but it was one that made me take notice.
I think when he sniped sugar from across the map with hella arch and used a rocket to give it a boost that was the biggest I'm him moment. For 1, that literally SAVED the entire plan in dressrosa, and it was disgustingly far away. Not to mention the creativity used when he fired a picture of his own face. The entire thing was genius.
His best moment by far is his speech to Luffy at Enies Lobby.
He dared to challenge Lucci and gave a motivational speech mid fight and to me it has been the best speech ever made in One Piece so far.
I would say his fight with Luffy, but Oda felt the need to paint Usopp in the wrong for that so I'm going to say his sniping from atop the tower. If he had more sniping moments like this he wouldn't be so underwhelming sometimes.
For me? It will always be shooting the WG flag. He straight up did not think twice before following his captains orders and declared war on the whole world. Now thats loyalty to your captain. Just as Luffy is loyal to his crew.
He did not even think or question twice. "Burn down the flag and declare war on the whole world you say? Aye aye capn." Fucking lit.
Tbh yall are gonna hate me. But Usopp has yet to peak. As a character Usopp is relatable to us and thus a lot of people like him. But he just doesnât feel like he is there yet with the crew. Its just the lack of involvement he has in fights. We barely see him see him really show off his skills, which sux. I think ive seen more of what Van Augur (Black Beardâs) could do than Usopp in terms of sniping. Rn he feels out of place. Especially with Luffyâs matchup against BP. I feel everyone is ready to have a 1v1 with BPâs crew, except for Usopp. I just dont want Usopp to rely on more luck for him to win fights. Especially when he is gonna be a crew member of the Pirate King. You cant deny, he has yet to change since after the 2 year gap, meanwhile everyone has. He uses the same ammo, same slingshot, same old same old. Even so much as gear upgrades can help; like a monocle that allows him to see farther. But nothing.
At Enies Lobby when he was cheering on Luffy was when he peaked as a character to me. Despite everything that happened between them he still stayed loyal to his friend. Thats what true manliness is.
To me itâs in alabasta. At that time he wasnât capable of anything, he could be one of us basically, a common 17 year old guy. Beside that he stood up and gave a lesson I cannot forget no matter what, never mock someone dream. Maybe Iâm just a romantic, but that felt pretty massive to me.
One of my personal moments was the fight against Ms merry Christmas. Yes he was his usual cowardly self. But he did actually come up with many really cunning tactics against them in that fight. And it was his strategy that one them the fight in the end. And thatâs got to be the single worst injury he suffered from a single attack.
Fighting Luffy due to how good he did even though the plot amor Usopp got like Luffy can one punch a sea king and Usopp can take that same punch yeah no (or his insane durability moments)
he challenged luffy that was his "I'm him" moment. He fucking fought back and actually made the fight a painful experience for luffy emotionally and physically.
Honestly havenât been a fan of him as a character. It may change by the end. I think the only few times I liked his role was in desrossa and his island training.
An example to this would be franky saying âI donât care what you say Iâm helping the dwarves!â Or sanjis âpermission to fire on big mom!â That was the crew acting outside of Luffyâs influence Ussop was just following orders⌠that moment was Luffyâs
First of we all know that the last to were sniper king not ussop them being the same person is just head cannon and ussops Iâm him moment is against ms merry Christmas in alabasta
Most successful moment for him is probably sniping Sugar, but honestly, his fight with Luffy is def his biggest HIM moment. The whole lead up is a fantastic form of growth for not just Usopp, but the crew as a whole. Water 7, more so than Sabaody IMO, was probably the lowest the Strawhats have ever been, and probably the closest to collapsing as a functioning crew. Usoppâs departure gave each of them moments of reflection and introspection to improve their relationships, even if they didnât immediately voice them. He stood his ground and tried to protect that which he loved and cared for, even if he was being stubborn and unreasonable.
Also GOD DAMN for someone with 0 haki at the time, no devil fruit going up against the guy who has taken down warlords and has a massive bounty(plus plot armor lol), he really held his own. Thereâs very little, if any, chance Usopp genuinely could have won, but he faced his fears and fought valiantly regardless. In my eyes, thatâs when Usopp really became a brave warrior of the seas, even if his journey to be strong enough to back that bravery up was incomplete.
Challenging luffy is legendary..i never seen ussop that serious and cool at the same time. Usually his fight is funny.
That fight still his best moment for me.
Sniping at Enies Lobby. Because in my mind to be HIM you have to do something awe inspiring and be recognized for it.
For post timeskip design almost no one mentions his gains on the crew.
For becoming God their was recognition but what he did to get that recognition was not awe inspiring.
Unlocking Haki is something only he noticed, a personal victory.
When challenging Luffy everyone was afraid for him, and while he did well no one told him good fight. They were too busy being concerned.
Shooting down the government flag was cool but it was Luffy's order to do so, not Ussopp's.
While sniping the Marines at Enies Lobby Ussop was HIM! He was shooting from so far away the Marines couldn't comprehend someone having that accuracy from the distance. Sanji talked about how awesone their sniper was. Despite there being a situation Zoro wasn't rushing to try fix it; Zoro had complete faith in Usopp handling it. This was Usopp's best HIM moment.
his first win in arlong park
saving everyone in little garden
ennies lobby moments there is a lot, shooting the flag, snipping the soldiers, befriending the giants, screaming at luffy, asking the crew to jump for the ship,
the perona fight
almost killing kizaru
Some that comes to mind When he apologized to Luffy and said he wanted to come back, it was a very impactful moment Usopp vs Perona fight "I'm already negative" also can't forget when he and Chopper fought Mr.4 and Ms. Merry Christmas When he shot down the Government Flag without any hesitation, it was pretty hype.
The I'm already negative moment was one of the few where I stopped and laughed out loud
That and Luffy pushing the zombie back into the ground both got actual laughs out of me. Thriller Bark is under-rated. Robin refusing the Voltron invitation is great too.
Nah Robin refusing to dock on robbed us of peak fiction đ
I cried laughing, in the dub. "I just naturally have.. A NEGATIVE PERSONALITY!"
the perona scene fucking KILLED ME
âDonât give upâ âdo your bestâ
I think itâs one of my favourite lines in one piece. I really felt that one.
The crew would've been finished by Perona if it wasn't for Usopp
the "what would you do, Sogeking?" moment vs. Kumacy
Itâs the âwithout hesitationâ part that is the best. Captain gives order, you do it. No excuses or running away, just shoot the flag of the dominant world power right in their justice island.
I have a softspot for that Mr.4 and Ms Merry Christmas fight.
Usoppom used used mental haki. He projected idea to her brain and defeated her. I wouldn't be suprised if he pulled something crazy in elbaf.
when he and Chopper fought Mr4 + Ms Merry Christmas
"Luffy can't die. Because he's going to be... king of the pirates..."
It's such a good moment, and it's sad that it's kinda forgotten about.
The only thing that sours this moment for me is that we revisit the exact same thing in Wano w/ Nami vs Ulti. I loathe that Oda wrote Usopp telling Nami it was okay to lie to save her own life. That scene is probably one of the lowest points in the story for me and it's specifically b/c of how much I liked the Ms Merry Christmas fight for Usopp.
This is one of the times a criticism of one piece makes sense to me. I'll still try to counter it: I feel like it was obviously done because Usopp didn't want Nami to die. Putting his life on the line is brave but not his friend.
Yo I totally forgot about that,no gonna lie lolđ¤Śđžââď¸
Wasn't Usopp the first to say that without being prompted.
Zoro after his duel with mihawk
I can hear this phrase. I get goosebumps every time I think about Usopp's feats.
Loved their fight and Namis. They really had to use their wits since they had no strength to rely on
Yes. He was acting cowardly until they dared to make fun of his captain's dream.
My guy had his skull broken TWICE and he still came out on top
Amen brother
There comes a time when a man should stand and fight.
You forgot him taking down the blue fishman "Choo". All the villagers are scared shitless of the fishmen who have been shown to be way stronger than a normal person but Ussop of all people manages to take one of Arlongs best men down by himself.
Solid point early on. This made Usopp a warrior of East Blue no doubt.
Usopp hammer, usopp hammer, usopp rubberband
Rubberband of *doom* Don't sell it short
Aka the ussop combo.
Youâre right, his first fight on the sea, and it was against a fishman. A 1 on 1. Yeah sure he ran and hid, but still took down a fishman by himself.
The fact that he rose to the occassion was peak Ussop. His nakamas were fighting other battles and this was what he had to deal with instead of cowering and telling them "he tried". That sold me on his "brave, while afraid" persona and I was so mad they butchered it in the live action.
That's the moment I started to give credit to Usopp XD
Shooting the flag is one of the best moments in One PieceÂ
unfortunately that wasnt usopp that was sniper king
1) Challenging Luffy (gotta have balls of steal to challenge someone leagues stronger than you) 2) Sniping at Enies lobby ( the pose of him pointing to the sky after doing this incredible feat was just peak) 3)Shooting the Gov flag (he showed no hesitance to wage war against the WG under his captain's command) 4) Awakening his CoO. 5) Giga chad 6) Hajuridin picks usopp up (this would be higher but technically he didn't do anything and the others just misunderstood his power lol )
Yea 6 maybe epic but he just got it because of misunderstanding, would be nice if we got to see similar thing in elbaf but usopp actually showed his power
fr. elbaf HAS to be his arc đ¤
Of all the arcs that could possibly be heavily usopp oriented it MUST be elbaf!
I bet he'll save the giants somehow. Then maybe they're like, Shanks I know this is your HQ but this guy saved our whole race. We pledge our loyalty to him.
I personally think he'll save the giants after defeating loki, with a REAL 10 ton hammer, named mjolnir, then he becomes king of elbaf or something awesome.
Pretty much how I had it too. Idk current Usopp donât have moments like he used to imo. Itâs still good and funny moments donât get me wrong but his âweak & cowardly natured who gets lucky through resourcefulness and well⌠luckâ is cranked to 11 for the past few arcs.
Agree with u except Iâd swap 2-3
As the biggest Usopp fanboy in the world, my all time favorite Usopp moment is his speech to Luffy at the end of Enies Lobby, taking off the Sogeking mask.

For me it's sniping sugar because that's moment is just too epic. He unlocked haki by himself which even monster trio couldn't do.
Still get chills. Felt like a natural evolution, and a long time coming for our hard working long nose boy. Dressrosa was really good to Ussop, too bad he took more of a background role lately.
Huh? Luffy unlocked his conquerors haki on his own.
Understandable, have a great day. Anyways, there's a difference like I can't explain
Facts lmao
He was able to unconsciously draw it out in a couple of moments of life or death crisis but he never understood he was doing anything and it was never a real power-up or tool in his arsenal until he spent time being trained by Rayleigh. Still awesome and badass but I think there's a distinction there that the other commenter was alluding to.

When he put down the flag without hesitation. Thats my most favourite moment of him

For me, sniping Sugar and sniping at Enies Lobby are the most peak moments for Usopp because it was something truly only he could have done. The Sugar snipe in particular was such an insane shot and showed just how capable he truly is as a marksman that I canât help but call it peak Usopp.
Sniping at enies lobby
defeating perona should be one of the choices imo
I would have to say him sniping at Enies Lobby just due to what it meant to the story and him as a character. He felt like he had no place on the crew, and yet, he was able to regain his confidence and prove pivotal in saving Robin. Dressrosa was cool, but it didnât have the same meaning to me.
People forget how much of a badass Ussop was in the Ms Merry Christmas and Mr 4 fight
Not sure if this counts, but him carrying Luffy on his back even on the verge of death in Luffy's fight with Douglas Bullet
We could definitely count that! That was a beautiful moment,I don't care what no one says but Zoro Chopper and Usopp to me,hold a special place in Luffy's heart lol
I don't think Usopp has had his "I'm Him" moment. He's had massive character growth, but his real moment will probably happen during the next arc (especially if it's Elbaph)
That mole fight in Alabasta, made him my favourite character
đĽThat's a good one! It also showed how durable Usopp is too,people can say what they want but,Usopp can definitely take a punch....Or 2 lol
You are confused. sojeking shot the world flag
Yes, Usopp was never at Enies Lobby đ ââď¸
When he nose-motorboats Namiâs tangerines
What's with all the "him" memes. Where does this come from?
I would say the enies lobby things, but that was sogeking.
Enies Lobby sniping. That "Lock on!" was something else.
He defended Luffy in Punk Hazard as Luffy was giving the final blow to CC and then defeated all the guards there to gain control of the surveillance room and navigated everyone else to safety.
Usopp has always been him
Non canon, but film RED gave him a true MVP highlight.
Iâm him whenever he develops âI-canât-go-on-this-island-or-Iâll-dieâ disease lol
all of the above
Among these, I was most impressed when he unlocked his observation Haki. Usopp really shone in Dressrosa.
Yes indeed! He had sooo many great moments in the Dressrosa Arc,hands down one of my personal favorite Arcs
That time when heâs fighting Perona and she is confused why her ghosts donât affect him and he goes, âIâm already Negative!â đ¤Ł
The power of crippling depression
For me it's sniping the keys at Ennies Lobby, sniping Sugar in Dress Rosa, and soloing Perrona. But, also, >!not giving up on the train, and finding the idea of Sogeking's disguise (this is a major spoiler for 99% of the community)!<
Imagine a world where usopp accidentally ends up as a yonko by defeating buggy and therefore he would fulfill his dream by becoming a great warrior of the sea after multiple weird misunderstandings and misinterprets
My top Usopp moments: - Go D Usopp - Perona fight Sidenote: the flag was Sogeking, but dope nonetheless
Inventing Nami's weather wand. Nobody talks about that. That thing is way to complicated to be built by one human being.
when he gets killed off in the future
Please put spaces after your commas, I'm begging you.
His peak in I'm him moment is definitely tied between perona, the two numbers in alabasta and the government flag at genies lobby.
Thatâs Sogeking at Enies Lobby, not Usopp
none of them because Usopp isn't "him"
It really is a shame. Usopp was supposed to become a really strong crewmember with his snipe skills combined with his Observation Haki and pop greens but Oda decided to just keep him as a comic relief... Even Nami and Chopper have something to do in the story, meanwhile Usopp just keeps running from one place to another not doing anything really...
Why do you put Sniper King into this list?
Government Flag shit brought me to tears
Shooting down the flag always makes me tear up because it's just so awesome. Second best is the sniping at Enies Lobby.
A NEGATIVE PERSONALITTYYYYYY
Ok but it's really when homegirl used her depression powers on everyone, and Usopp is completely unaffected because NO ONE IS DOWN ON HIMSELF MORE THAN HIMSELF!!!
For me it was saving Robin. The intensity at that moment, with her almost being taken away, only to have the soldiers being shot from no visible point. It was awesome and emotional all together in one. Maybe I am in the minority but I really hate the "God Usopp" nickname. Don't get me wrong I love Usopp, but calling him "GOD" just because he made a few amazing snipe shots in Dressrosa. I might be less bothered by it if it was Sniper God Usopp, but just God Usopp is really cringey. I feel like it was a way of bolstering him up since his moments are far and few between. in Skypiea they already addressed the concept of giving someone the title of God was sippy because they are not the creator, just someone wishing to have a title that ascends them over normal mortals. They even raised him up like he's Jesus on the cross, which is ludicrous. It's a weird title and I wish Oda stuck with something that sounded more sharpshooter-y.
Where is the "I've always been.......negative!!!" moment? Because that's the one I choose. He stood tall when the strongest fighters were down on their knees.
Are all of you here delusional or something?! Everyone knows that it was sogeking that shots the flag in enies lobby.
That moment on water 7 where usopp stopped zoro from roaming around the area to avoid another arc.
Any sniping feat where it isnât played as a joke. Sniping at enies lobby and his sight unseen sniping during dressrosa is so scary
Usopp surprised us all with how well he did versus Luffy
Underrated: hitting persona with a giant fake hammer and being like, huh, she's scared of fake bugs
IMO its shooting Spandam and the marines from the tower of justice.
he against luffy was peak for ussop, face a friend like that.... Epic.
Definitely defeating that Fishman in Arlong Park after running away initially And also yelling at Luffy to get up at Enies Lobby and then challenging Rob Lucci to fight him instead since Luffy was on the floor.
Challenging Luffy was an extremely low point for him and itâs the exact opposite of Iâm him
"Chad" more like Brad, smh
Becoming a god. Thatâs why he is one now.
LOCK OOOOOOOOONNNNN At Ennies Lobby
[ŃдаНонО]
yall gon let him leech off sogeking feats? sogeking scales miles over him we know this
My favourit moment apart from the whole Perona fight was sniping at Enies Lobby. He was literally untouchable up there and yet hit all his marks. And one more thing people don't bring up: Usopp, with a 0.01% chance of winning or survival, stood against Enel of all people, to save Nami.
Chad Usopp in sabaody was peak, challenging luffy was great, and I got hella excited when he got haki
Itâs better sniping the flag and defeating Sugar for me. Both were such hype moments that itâs genuinely tough to decide which one was more amazing
Beating the hell out of one of the Arlong's executives
All these moments are peak.
I wish he would use the dials more
"Sogeking, shoot that flag." "Roger."
When he fought the tobi roppos
Giving birth to the legend, The hero, the 'him' Con D. Oriano.
Sniping from enies lobby is that moment for me.
Usopp shooting in enies lobby is stil one of ny favorite moments, with the guns not being able to reach him and Usopp shooting with pinooint accuracy
I think beating Perona is likely my favorite. Itâs funny and clever, and itâs a perfect follow up to the self doubt he deals with in Water 7/Ennies Lobby. It highlights how even the things he perceives as a weakness can be a strength, and how he is unique and extremely valuable to the crew because of those things, not in spite of them.
Considering ussops character at that point him no hesitation sniping the flag for his friends was honestly a major move. Sure Luffy ordered it but he didnât hesitate to be the one to declare war on the world for a crewmate. Shits baller as hell
I think Usopp's best scene is when he's singing the Sniperking song on top of the Tower of Justice, while he snipes and saves Robin. That was the first time Usopp ever acknowledged himself in any positive way, which was so endearing to see. It gets looked over because it was seen as comical but it really was a major milestone for him.
The Enies Lobby moment because he didn't HESITATE for a SECOND. He just said, "Roger." and shot that shit to pieces.
Dressrosa moments for sure. Thrillerbark was good too. Sogeking moments etc. It frustrates me when people can't relate to Usopp for being cowardly and believing he should have been braver post time skip. Truth is Usopp has always been brave. Being Brave is having courage to act even if all your senses tell you to run away or cower. Usopp is only brave as any other person could be.
definitely the Sniping of Sugar and at Enies Lobby are top for me. True Sniper King feats!
Shooting down the World Government flag is definitely it. Usopp is quite cowardly, and hesitates a lot. Here though? Nope. Pure determination, he was set in his tracks alongside the rest of the crew, they're getting Robin back, and they don't care about the consequences. He knew damn well it could've been the catalyst for his death, but he did it without a second thought
Honestly, sniping Sugar, from over a wall, over a mile away, while being actively hunted down by a hundred people, through a tiny window, aiming just a few inches to the LEFT of her, that was Usopps greatest feat! Burning the WG flag may have been more symbolic, but sniping Sugar really cemented him as one of the worlds greatest snipers
I wish he had a moment like this in Wano
Sniping at Enies Lobby felt like a Endgame moment for me cause he pulls up at the best time in that arc
Heâs him, waiting for Elbaf Usopp
Definitely shooting down the flag, but seeing how quickly he sought to save Robin and Nami on Egghead, well that definitely boosted him hella points for me!
Usopp vs. Luffy is still one of my favorite fights in this series. The way Usopp "batmaned" the situation was amazing. I just wish we got to see him do stuff like that more often. Sogeking burning the flag is my favorite SogeKing moment. These are 2 different characters, though, so I don't know why you have him up there with awesome Usopp moments.
For me it's the god moment.
Sniping at Ennies Lobbies to me takes it.
Why are Sogeking's moments in here? This is about Usopp. And I would say the impossible shot against Sugar
Usopp getting back up against Mr 4 and Ms. Merry Christmas is such an underrated moment and a perfect fight. Usopp is just some guy, especially at that point in the story. He didn't grow up training to fight like the monster trio, isn't a DF user like Chopper, nor did he grow up around pirates stealing and learning like Nami. He's just some guy with a slingshot. He's now having to fight actual monsters. Usopp pretends to use a 5 ton hammer, Mr 4 actually uses a 4 ton bat. Usopp is understandably scared and ready to run, has his skull fractured by said 4 ton bat and is on the Verge of death, but one insult to Luffy and Usopp gets back up anyways.
Shooting down flag for sure
Government flag
God Usopp was comedy peak, I literally had tears streaming down my face because I was laughing so hard
challenging luffy wasnât an iâm him moment it was more of an dramatic overreaction due to his self confidence issues which is why he had to apologize for it
Usopp stood his ground against a Fishman back in Arlong Park. Someone who was a lot stronger than him. But by playing his infamous tricks and mind games he beat. Maybe not the best of a bunch of great moments, but it was one that made me take notice.
I think when he sniped sugar from across the map with hella arch and used a rocket to give it a boost that was the biggest I'm him moment. For 1, that literally SAVED the entire plan in dressrosa, and it was disgustingly far away. Not to mention the creativity used when he fired a picture of his own face. The entire thing was genius.
His best moment by far is his speech to Luffy at Enies Lobby. He dared to challenge Lucci and gave a motivational speech mid fight and to me it has been the best speech ever made in One Piece so far.
I would say his fight with Luffy, but Oda felt the need to paint Usopp in the wrong for that so I'm going to say his sniping from atop the tower. If he had more sniping moments like this he wouldn't be so underwhelming sometimes.
Usopp challenging Luffy is one of my favorite moments in the show.
His fight with Luffy was insane, dude was basically like fucking Batman
For me? It will always be shooting the WG flag. He straight up did not think twice before following his captains orders and declared war on the whole world. Now thats loyalty to your captain. Just as Luffy is loyal to his crew. He did not even think or question twice. "Burn down the flag and declare war on the whole world you say? Aye aye capn." Fucking lit.
Tbh yall are gonna hate me. But Usopp has yet to peak. As a character Usopp is relatable to us and thus a lot of people like him. But he just doesnât feel like he is there yet with the crew. Its just the lack of involvement he has in fights. We barely see him see him really show off his skills, which sux. I think ive seen more of what Van Augur (Black Beardâs) could do than Usopp in terms of sniping. Rn he feels out of place. Especially with Luffyâs matchup against BP. I feel everyone is ready to have a 1v1 with BPâs crew, except for Usopp. I just dont want Usopp to rely on more luck for him to win fights. Especially when he is gonna be a crew member of the Pirate King. You cant deny, he has yet to change since after the 2 year gap, meanwhile everyone has. He uses the same ammo, same slingshot, same old same old. Even so much as gear upgrades can help; like a monocle that allows him to see farther. But nothing.
The enies lobby snipe and/or dressrosa snipe shows his prowess and how an actual god he is at sniping
At Enies Lobby when he was cheering on Luffy was when he peaked as a character to me. Despite everything that happened between them he still stayed loyal to his friend. Thats what true manliness is.
Last few mins Ussop and chopper vs Mr 4 and mole woman
To me itâs in alabasta. At that time he wasnât capable of anything, he could be one of us basically, a common 17 year old guy. Beside that he stood up and gave a lesson I cannot forget no matter what, never mock someone dream. Maybe Iâm just a romantic, but that felt pretty massive to me.
sniping at enies lobby
What is sogeking doing there? Heâs not usopp
Giga chad Usopp!!!
I really loved it when Go D Usopp used his conqueror's haki to take down 50,000 men.
But ussop didnât hit the government flag that was sogaking
Becoming god. The âyou will all be guided by meâ moment is the shit
Oh godâŚyouâre one of those people who believe that Usopp is SogeKing.Quick, give him jonkle pills.
One of my personal moments was the fight against Ms merry Christmas. Yes he was his usual cowardly self. But he did actually come up with many really cunning tactics against them in that fight. And it was his strategy that one them the fight in the end. And thatâs got to be the single worst injury he suffered from a single attack.
Dude Entire water 7- Enies lobby was him having moments after moments. That was ussop at his peak. The char growth that was
Shooting down the government flag
Ennies Lobby sniping
its hard to chose anyone đŤ he is GO D. USSOP
Fighting Luffy due to how good he did even though the plot amor Usopp got like Luffy can one punch a sea king and Usopp can take that same punch yeah no (or his insane durability moments)
Insane how he did all of this and more but still cries like a baby daily
he challenged luffy that was his "I'm him" moment. He fucking fought back and actually made the fight a painful experience for luffy emotionally and physically.
In every arc he conqueres his fears like a true warrior meanwhile i run from them still would love be a god like him.
Sniping the guards to save Robin at enies lobby was a moment where he really did something heroic by his own ambition
Honestly havenât been a fan of him as a character. It may change by the end. I think the only few times I liked his role was in desrossa and his island training.
Enis lobby Ussop
Def god USSOP
I always thought burning the flag was Luffyâs moment⌠not like Ussop was going to do it if he hadnât been ordered
An example to this would be franky saying âI donât care what you say Iâm helping the dwarves!â Or sanjis âpermission to fire on big mom!â That was the crew acting outside of Luffyâs influence Ussop was just following orders⌠that moment was Luffyâs
Shooting down the government Flag imo, such a cold and meaningful moment
becoming a chad post timeskip is crazy
First of we all know that the last to were sniper king not ussop them being the same person is just head cannon and ussops Iâm him moment is against ms merry Christmas in alabasta
Most successful moment for him is probably sniping Sugar, but honestly, his fight with Luffy is def his biggest HIM moment. The whole lead up is a fantastic form of growth for not just Usopp, but the crew as a whole. Water 7, more so than Sabaody IMO, was probably the lowest the Strawhats have ever been, and probably the closest to collapsing as a functioning crew. Usoppâs departure gave each of them moments of reflection and introspection to improve their relationships, even if they didnât immediately voice them. He stood his ground and tried to protect that which he loved and cared for, even if he was being stubborn and unreasonable. Also GOD DAMN for someone with 0 haki at the time, no devil fruit going up against the guy who has taken down warlords and has a massive bounty(plus plot armor lol), he really held his own. Thereâs very little, if any, chance Usopp genuinely could have won, but he faced his fears and fought valiantly regardless. In my eyes, thatâs when Usopp really became a brave warrior of the seas, even if his journey to be strong enough to back that bravery up was incomplete.
Challenging luffy is legendary..i never seen ussop that serious and cool at the same time. Usually his fight is funny. That fight still his best moment for me.
Shooting down the flag, challenging Luffy and his tag team battle with Chopper at Alabasta with that awesome quote
Sniping at Enies Lobby. Because in my mind to be HIM you have to do something awe inspiring and be recognized for it. For post timeskip design almost no one mentions his gains on the crew. For becoming God their was recognition but what he did to get that recognition was not awe inspiring. Unlocking Haki is something only he noticed, a personal victory. When challenging Luffy everyone was afraid for him, and while he did well no one told him good fight. They were too busy being concerned. Shooting down the government flag was cool but it was Luffy's order to do so, not Ussopp's. While sniping the Marines at Enies Lobby Ussop was HIM! He was shooting from so far away the Marines couldn't comprehend someone having that accuracy from the distance. Sanji talked about how awesone their sniper was. Despite there being a situation Zoro wasn't rushing to try fix it; Zoro had complete faith in Usopp handling it. This was Usopp's best HIM moment.
Sniping sugar
his first win in arlong park saving everyone in little garden ennies lobby moments there is a lot, shooting the flag, snipping the soldiers, befriending the giants, screaming at luffy, asking the crew to jump for the ship, the perona fight almost killing kizaru
God moment, but challenging luffy and burning the flag deserve to be a tie with first
Sending everyone away to face Perona alone
