I see plenty of people talk about how they dislike Usopp and they blame it on his cowardice. People that's mainly a comedic tool for the reader appreciate it for what it is and stop being so literal with the characters, Usopp has shown time and time again he's brave and willing to risk his life the sicknesses and stuff are just for comedy.

I figured I'd make a list(and feel free to add anything I forget) of all of Usopp's highlights that people should focus on rather than his joke personality.

. Stood up to the Black Cat Pirates alone.
. Defeated Jango
. Got the crew the Going Merry
. Maintained the Merry in sailing condition until Water 7
. Protected a village from Arlong's men
. Beat a Fishman pre time skip
. Provides Sanji with the time to free Luffy to beat Arlong
. In the original batch of SH wanted posters(technically, though it was via photobombing)
. Puts his life on the line and snipes the weather vein for Daddy Masterson
. Tanked a bat to the face and afterwards beat his opponents
. Figured out the weakness of Mr. 3
. Attacked Mr. 5 and his partner
. Stood up for Luffy's dream of being Pirate King
. Saved Sanji during Skypiea
. Was the reason Sanji could save Nami in Skypiea
. Only one thinking to bring home dials which are strong enough they hurt Luffy
. Stood up to Luffy for something he believed in, who else can say they stood up to Luffy, everyone eventually gives into his will but not Usopp not on this one.
. Not only did he stand up to him he went toe-to-toe with him.
. Invented Nami's weapon, any credit she gets Usopp should get residuals from.
. Improved her weapon with dials which leads to the power she has now
. Went against the WG to save Robin
. Shot down the WG flag without a second guess
. Turned down his dream of going to Elbaf to stay with the SH's
. Defeated a lot of the zombies on Thriller Bark
. Defeated Perona
. In Strong World Usopp shoots an attack into the sky which makes the lightning Luffy uses for his Thor attack.
. Usopp beat a Pacifista
. Helps save Zoro from Kizaru
. Beat some more Fishmen
. Beat Sugar

Not a lackluster resume by any means.

i dont dislike ussopp becuase of his cowardice, i dislike him because of his ignorance, how hes full of him self, makes gigantic claims, lies, and than after all those steps, he pulled a coward move, than somehow due to Plot he accomplishes something, and instead of being humble about it like most straw hats, he brags about it. i just think hes the least Strawhatish if that makes anysense.

speaking of usuopp. i just rewatched that part where hes about to ask rayleigh about onepiece, and than luffy yells at him(favorite part)...btw him asking is another side of him i dont like, its something the other strawhats didnt rly consider doing, besides robin(for good reaason, and she decided against it, with a humble smile on her face if i may add) after usopp got yelled at, he started spouting out excuses oh how he didnt mean to.

Has he bragged about it, hasn't he been unconscious since? I wouldn't go so far as saying the least SHish. He's willing to risk his life for his friends, He passed on his dream of Elbaf to stay with the crew that shows his loyalty, he challenged Luffy for his ideals which is very much like his captain. If tht's be anyone I'd have to say Nami or Chopper.

Usopp lies and goes with the flow because he lacks that natural courage and needs to boost himself up in order to keep himself moving towards his goal of not needing those methods anymore and truly being a brave warrior of the sea. Until then however Usopp will rely on embellishments.

i think giving up his dream is something most strawhats wouldnt do. there all about chaseing their dreams, i suppose we see it differently. nothing wrong with that.

I don't care about the hate... For me, he's the funniest in the entire crew (somewhat realistic/practical) and I love his bullshit stories :p
Wimpy coward, a liar and highly insecure... That's supposed to be his character, so I personally don't dislike what he does. The guy has to put up with enough shit everyday. xP

I feel like you are insulting god usopp-sama with this thread lol jk.

He is a very funny dude and he does what needs to be done but it just takes him a while. For example, when he got sugar it took him quite sometime but he did it.

I guess you put that he got the tonttatas to become allies of the SH hahaha Usoland

I personally really like ussop, I never even knew people hated him up until I started debating with fans of the series. I love how he over exaggerates about his abilites and whatnot, it really gives a feel of realism to his character.
