For those who have seen the anime or read the manga, you must have gotten used to Usopp being portrayed as one of the most fearful characters in One Piece, especially at the beginning. The character's fear has already caused the gang to have a major conflict throughout the story, but in the Netflix series it seems to me that they are portraying a braver and also wiser Usopp. Come check out this "new form" of Captain Usopp.
I'll be much appreaciated if you Votes, Reblogs or give any Tips. Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
The Most Human Character in One Piece
While in the rest of the Straw Hat gang the characters have some type of power, like Luffy who ate the rubber Devil Fruit, which allows him to stretch his body and have the properties of a rubber body, or some type of training like Zoro who learned how to duel with swords while he was a child, on the other side we have Usopp.
In his hometown, Usopp was always telling "lies" that pirates were invading the city, to the point that no one believed him anymore, even when it was true. In the rest of the series, Usopp started telling stories about great adventures he had. The best of all was when he tried to convince one of the giants that he defeated a large mole with a 5-ton hammer.
Even though everyone in the crew was stronger and more prepared than him, Usopp continued to accompany the band of Straw Hats, being one of the most human characters in the work, having fear at a time that you would also have, fears and anguish. The best of all is to follow each episode as he overcomes his fear and little by little makes each of his lies become reality.
This is one of One Piece's biggest Easter eggs in case you didn't know. Each of the lies that were told by Usopp end up becoming a reality and he ends up being known as a great warrior later.
The Wisdom of Captain Usopp!
This mix of fear and courage in the Netflix series has been portrayed very well, with emphasis on Usopp's dialogue with the giant, saying that even a great warrior feels fear and that he would never trust his life to someone who is not afraid. This was a big turning point in the story for Usopp who managed to save his companions who were trapped in the wax.
Now a moment of pure wisdom from our captain Usopp was in his dialogue with Vivi in the kingdom of Drum. In this scene, the princess begins to wonder what the kingdom of Alabasta would be like after being away for so long, especially after seeing the state the kingdom of Drum was in. At that moment, Captain Usopp's wisdom emerges, saying: "You can't carry the whole world on your shoulders. You can't solve everything alone."
This matched a lot with what I spoke to a friend today. There's no need to worry about what we have no control over. Just as Vivi cannot solve the problems of an entire kingdom, we cannot solve situations that are beyond our control. But this does not mean that we should be ignorant to the point of not trying to inform ourselves about anything else.
The right thing to do in these cases is to do as Usopp said, seek help, ask for advice and focus on what you can improve at the moment. Whatever you can do and that you can change, do it! But what is not within your reach, simply observe, but without worrying.
