- This is the first in a series of videos where I'll be talking about various aspects of Season 2! One of my criticisms with the first season was how little we got from Usopp and Sanji, so I've been hoping they get a bit more love in Season 2! Let me know what you'd like to see from these characters and what other topics you'd like me to address!

As someone who watched live action first. I never realised how important Usopp and Sanji were like you mentioned. I kind of just saw Luffy, Zoro and Nami as the main characters and Usopp and Sanji as side characters that are there but don't do much. Watching the anime changed my mind completely and now Usopp is probably one of my favourite characters, especially after water 7
Currently on water 7. Ep 229
The ytber hearted my comment. Btw curently at water 7, ep 233
@@Fire.Fist21 where you at now?
Ooh! I hope they give us 10 episodes!
Is 10 enough to cover alabasta?
@@danielpinatecaballero2612
If every episode is roughly 1 hour long then that's 10 hours for the Alabasta Saga I think they could do it.
@@mrflithyslug9891 Yes I think they can. Most of the time spent in One Piece manga is the battles because it’s a shounen. The live action can shorten that time while still hitting all the beats of the battle.
1 episode = 2-3 months
10 episodes = almost 2 years to wait. 😩
@@danielpinatecaballero2612yes about so. season one covered 95 chapters in 8 episodes.
the alabasta saga is 117 chapters, and they also have the 5 remaining east blue chapters (logue town) to adapt, so they have 122 chapters to adapt.
two more episodes should be plenty of time. Little Garden can easily be cut down. And even though alabasta needs to be long, a significant portion of the second half especially is just right after fight for like 30 chapters, so the pacing will be quite fast.
As someone who has only seen the live action, Usopp's "brave warrior of the sea" came out of nowhere. A flashback to his mom? At first I thought he was lying and had a different motive he was trying to hide. It felt like I missed something.
it’s kinda like that in the original series too. he’s a coward for the whole of the east blue saga and then states he wants to be brave at the barrel scene.
the upcoming seasons will explore it a lot more.
@cwega2463 This is simply not true...just watching this video alone proves otherwise...his desire to become a brave warrior of the sea is one that was highlighted both overtly and subtly throughout EAST BLUE, he wasn't just " a coward" bro syrup village is ryt there did u miss all that???....hell he even blatantly says what he aspires to be in Arlong Park so by the time the barrel scene shows up it is WELL ESTABLISHED bruv idk what ur talking abt😅
The live action was decent but let's not pretend like they didn't butcher Usopp's character, how do u turn one of the most layered and complex characters into a caricature of himself...season 2 better fix him
I’m sure the writers are aware Usopp and Sanji got shortchanged in East Blue so they’re gonna get way more development in Alabasta
I couldn't agree more with the insights this video is given. Yet I still think the Water 7 saga is really where Usopp has his moments to shine, especially with the Going Merry being no longer in good use for him nor the Straw Hats. Then it leads to the fight between him and Luffy.
Those moments were so traumatizing enough for Usopp to grow and move forward as a character. Balancing both his bravery and cowardice. Can't be scared nor grovel all the time when things go sideways nor don't always go your way. Our favorite cowardly, pointy-nosed, knucklehead pirate warrior of the sea-in-training needs to evolve as we all know he has as the series currently progressed.
Hopefully those moments and the saga be adapted into live-action soon. Want to see how and what the writers and the actor, Jacob Gibson (who plays Usopp in the live-action One Piece) will bring to the table with those iconic scenes from both the anime and manga
Interesting! I just read the manga for the first time, and felt quite disappointed by the resolution to the conflict between Usopp and Luffy in Water 7, because Usopp ends up having to apologise to Luffy, even though Luffy demonstrated a clear contempt for weakness that felt very unsympathetic to my mind. This, to me, undermined Usopp's whole arc, because I felt that Luffy was at fault just as much as Usopp, yet he never apologised or shows any appreciation for Usopp's significant achievements during Enies lobby - only Sanji does. I came off the whole Water 7 saga liking Luffy a bit less than before, and feeling that maybe Usopp shouldn't have rejoined that crew after all, since hardly anyone there seems to actually appreciate his efforts, nor his huge personal investment in Going Merry.
@@Natsymir I noticed that. Good eye, man. I've always wondered if Usopp actually wants to move forward with the Straw Hats after what they gone through.
Well if they fixed the Arlong Park arc with Nami's backstory and motive in the live-action to make it made sense for the general audience then maybe they could do the same for the Water 7 (if the series moves forward to it).
Example: Like if Jacob Gibson's Usopp got into an HUGE argument with Iñaki Godoy's Luffy, That will be a highlight in the series as it will be very deep and heartfelt compared to the anime and manga. They fought then sometime after the fight with CP9 with Usopp's help (disguised as Soge King), Luffy will then realize what he has done due to his selfishness and greed as captain. That's when Mackenyu's Zoro or maybe Emily Rudd's Nami as well called him out on it, not to be so damn absorbed or arrogant rather than acknowledge the needs and dreams of his friends/crew by dragging them down to his power trip just to achieve his lifetime goal/dream while at the same time telling him to quit being so soft or ignorant when things go rough, especially when travelling over to the Grand Line as a captain of his crew. Bottom line/lesson: Don't be such an selfish, misguided, lousy captain!
Water 7 was the moment when all the characters actually grow as they need to stop acting more like pirates when certain situations called for it while venturing out in the new world. Of course, at the same time be a family.
That's my two cents on how it will make sense for the general audience in the live-action series. Since they made the Arlong Park arc and Nami's backstory make sense to fit, then they can do the same to Water 7. We'll see
@@Natsymir I think you misunderstood the root of their argument. When does Luffy show contempt for Usopp's weakness? If anything, he holds contempt for FRANKY for mugging Usopp. Unfortunately, Luffy destroying Franky's hideout in retaliation isn't what Usopp needed to feel supported in that moment. He connected with the ship and worried that Luffy might abandon him too. Instead of explaining this, Usopp got angry and accused Luffy of being the type of man who abandons his crewmates. Luffy, who values his friends for more than their strength or achievements, took this as an attack on his leadership and character. THAT'S why Luffy reacted harshly
Luffy not seeing the argument for what it was (a trauma response), was probably the biggest mistake he made. But he's not a mind-reader. He sees Usopp as a dear friend and valued part of the crew. Usopp's accusations were both unexpected and hurtful, but also came from a very raw and vulnerable place for Usopp. For Usopp, it was very much a "I'm leaving Luffy before he leaves me" type situation that's 100% understandable given Usopp's background and insecurities. But of course Luffy would never willingly leave a friend behind. That's the real tragedy of their falling out
If Usopp hadn't escalated things by challenging Luffy to a duel and quitting, they probably would have resolved the issue on their own. Of course, that's not what happened. But by the end of the saga, Luffy has ALREADY forgiven Usopp. He's ready to have Usopp back on the team, and he's clearly upset when it seems like Usopp might not ask to rejoin them after all
In the end, the argument isn't what Usopp had to apologize for. It was the duel. Even then, it was only because Zoro reminded everyone that they couldn't ignore the fact that Usopp had challenged the Captain to a duel, and that Usopp no longer wanted to live with the outcome of that duel. At that point, things go far beyond a typical argument between friends, and it needed to be properly acknowledged and addressed before they could all safely sail together again (something that SANJI, of all people, understood and agreed with)
@@symbological very good points! You might be right. But what really didn't sit right with me, and felt to me like contempt for weakness, was Luffy's comment like "as if you could ever defeat me" immediately after winning the fuel against Usopp. That, more than anything else, made me strongly side with Usopp in that conflict.
@@Natsymir "You know as well as I do, that you could never win against me," is another way I've seen that line translated. I think that fits the spirit of what Luffy was saying here. Basically, they BOTH knew it was going to end this way. Luffy is fully aware of Usopp's limitations in physical combat. And we know Usopp is aware of them too. Why else would he resort to underhanded tactics like pretending to cough up blood, if not to make Luffy hesitate and hold back in delivering a finishing blow?
Luffy isn't taunting Usopp or disparaging his weakness. He is frustrated that a close friend would challenge him to a duel, despite knowing it could only end with Luffy hurting Usopp -- which hurts Luffy too. This was not a fight Luffy wanted to have, and this isn't a victory he relishes in. But Usopp's formal challenge left Luffy with little choice. (The previous arc even hinges on this one pirate rule of issuing and accepting duels, which adds more context to what's happening here.)
In fact, it's clearly *Usopp* who can't accept his own weakness, to the point where he is the one who holds HIMSELF in contempt. Rather than trusting that his friends love him for who he is, he lashes out and leaves on his own terms before Luffy has a chance to discard him like Merry. Interestingly, Robin is in the EXACT SAME headspace for much of the arc! She gives herself over to the WG, because she'd rather die than suffer the pain of being discarded by the SHs for being a liability. It's a thematic parallel Usopp and Robin both share, which ties into the saga's overall thesis: "It's never a crime to exist. No one was born to be alone."
That's why I don't really see Luffy vs. Usopp as a conflict that the reader needs to "pick sides" for. Instead, it's a tragic byproduct of Usopp's fear of getting ditched like Merry, in the same way Robin's disappearance was a result of her own fear of abandonment. In both situations, Luffy wants to accept them back with open arms
By the end of the arc, Usopp learns to trust that Luffy won't abandon him and fearlessly puts himself (the weakest!!) in harm's way when it looks like Luffy's lost his fight with Rob Lucci. Usopp knows he'll only survive if Luffy gets back up...and that his wellbeing is all the incentive Luffy needs in that moment to keep fighting
Just like Luffy chose Usopp to be his cornerman during the Davy Back Fight, Usopp freely steps into that same role to help Luffy defeat Rob Lucci. Usopp is confident there are things only he can do, just like there are things only Luffy can do. He trusts that he can help Luffy be his best self by accepting that Luffy cares about him for who he is, not for what he does -- weaknesses and all. THAT'S how Usopp finally reaches a place where he wants to sail with Luffy again
The resolution to Luffy and Usopp's conflict tied the whole saga together for me, personally
the actors are just reallllly on pointtttt
I think they will cover Logue Town and Laboon at reverse mountain in episode one and have it be anywhere from 1hour 10 mins to 1 hour 20 mins. giving each arc about 40 minutes each. the perfect amount imo. since season one also had a slightly longer opening episode than the rest of the season, I feel like season 2 will as well, especially with the increased length of season 2.
Both arcs combined are only 10 chapters, it’s incredibly short. that’s easy to be done in that amount of time. and realistically they will cut out the whole part of getting stuck inside laboon and the whole robot aspect since it literally never comes up again.
I have been campaigning to play Chopper for a while and I often see Usopp and Chopper as the "Shaggy and Scooby" of the group, as in they're both scaredy-cats but they often face their fears together. Chopper is important in Alabasta when most of the crew is captured by Crocodile and Sanji is causing a distraction outside the casino. Not to mention all the injuries everybody gets and Chopper has to face the fact that he's the ship's doctor (he forgets at first) and patch everybody up.
Great video, I really hope Netflix gives the production team enough episodes to adapt Alabasta flawlessly, I think most peoples complaints about Season 1 could've been solved if it was longer than 8 episodes.
No need to put the entire Alabasta arc in this season 2. A great cliffhanger would be to end with the first Crocodile/Luffy fight, won by the corsair leaving Luffy to be swallowed up by the sand (before being saved by Robin at start of season 3). While the rest of the crew is stuck in the desert and the rebellion prepares to attack the capital. Maximum climax. And what's more, it would give more room in episodes to deepen the previous arcs (from Loguetown to Drum).😊
The cast believed they had made 10 episodes according to interviews,but Netflix edited it down to 8!
@@DONUTBUZZCUT well that explains everything
@@youtpfpm6097 I don't think it's a good idea to do that unless they can get a third confirmed season in advance. You don't want to risk ending the entire project on a huge cliffhanger like "Golden Sun," "Mega Man Legacy," or "ALF."
@@Compucles If there is no season 3, people will watch the anime. That’s all. Those who want to know what happens next.🙂
I expect at least four episodes to be devoted to Alabasta goings on; we are introduced to SO MANY CHARACTERS who are critical to the current arc and down the line, not the least of which are Ace, Koza, Toh Toh, Bon Clay, and of course seeing Crocodile (for the official first time). My only question about Usopp's activities during these adventures is how are we going to communicate the size difference between our two dueling giants and our intrepid crew. As for Sanji, I expect the same level of disarming smoothness and banger cuisine we saw in the first season... and the moment I'm most looking forward to, Mr Prince saving everyone's butts in the Rain Dinners Casino.
Live action inner dialog is a difficult thing to accomplish, unlike a thought bubble in the manga. Usopp's existential crisis and decision to change would, I think, be awkward at best in the live action version. The producers aren't using audible inner dialogs (thoughts) in the first season, and I don't see them chasing to use them going forward. Usopp deciding, when it came down to battling the fishmen, to be clever was a moment to cheer him on, and worked just fine. His declaration to become a brave warrior harkens back to his decision to participate in the fight rather than hide.
It's still unequivocally a MUCH worse iteration of Usopp's character by comparison🤷🏽♂️
Yeah I really liked the adaptation but I think cutting that scene was MASSIVE mistake because it's literally the start of Usopp's character arc for the rest of the series. Without that scene of him showing that he's scared enough to run away, it doesn't feel like true bravery when he doesn't end up running.
Zoro’s swords bent when fought captain morgan in episode one , would like to see more of Usopp too, even if it’s Usopp throwing a bomb with a slingshot for a split second
Hope they include mr prince call mr 0
I agree with everything you said. However, I unfortunately think all the great scenes you mentioned are things they will probably skip in the second season as well
During Drum Island they might not do that Chessmarimo fusion so I can see that they will have it where Chopper will fight Chess while Sanji fights against Kuromarimo, & as for Usopp maybe we will see him on the ship showing off his engineering skills by making the Clima-Tact
The thing about OPLA is that there are a LOT of problems with the series that includes the cinematographic choices, some character choices and less number of episode, but in the end the series as a whole is really enjoyable
most of the times this was caused to the pandemic (and netflix lowering episodes)
If they at least had 10. It wouldn't have been this reduced but somehow they made it work even if it's not the best they had in mind for Ussop and Sanji.
I don't understand how you don't have more subscribers yet.
I 100% agree
Bro there is no way season 2 is adapting all of alabasta! There's at least 3 arcs to go through before we even get there
I need season 2 ASAP!
I bet they’ll use the scene where Baroque works won’t know that Sanji is not here with the straw hats and he uses a fake identity to Crocodile by using a fake name Mr. Prince
What's going to happen to Sanji's Netflix development when they're on their way to Fishman island?
I doubt Netflix is going to keep his line where he says he's going to "eye-fuck the shit out of the mermaids" (going by the anime translation).
Netflix is trying to balance the quirkiness of the original whilst attempting to make it accessible to a regular audience who isn't comfortable with the quirks of Japanese culture that'd be a turn-off for many 'westerners'.
I really think One Piece has a overall decent live action adaptation (unlike others that shall remain unnamed) and personally cant wait to see how Season 2 is gonna play out. Personally, I kinda hope that they only cover the Alabasta arc that way they dont try to rush too much or cram too much in by having to do both Alabasta + Skypiea. Plus it gives us time to focus on the 2 new members of the crew Robin and Chopper (also I’m not ready to cry at Chopper’s backstory again)
as long as they do mr prince and ussop/chopper vs miss merry christmas/mr4 right ill be soooo happy
Nice vid! I've even made my own One Piece Season 2 trailer
Ya i wish usopp would of gotten more to do
The goggle scenes might not make it.
I thing the LA usopp vs chu fight is worst because it's pointless, he successfully pretended to be dead and when that's over he announced himself and then shot chu knocking him out, whicth made the whole running away thing seemed kinda pointless as he could have just knocked him out.
Usopp had to find or create an opening when Chu's guard was down to make the shot, otherwise Usopp would've just been killed in the process of blasting Chu. It was the same way in the manga and anime, just not as condensed.
@@Compucles I agree which is why doing nothing to utilize on his trick besides letting Chu know he was tricked then going into action felt wrong. if he aimed then called out to him then shot it would have worked .
Bananagator* not Bananadile.
:)
I don't know if they'll have time to adapt Little Garden unless they up the episode count for Season 2. They may have to skip it like the 4Kids dub did. They may also have to make some significant cuts to Loguetown to fit it into a single episode or spend a full two episodes there. Maybe they even skip Loguetown (aside from the prologue in Season 1), since the previous season ended at Reverse Mountain anyway, so then Smoker, Buggy, and Alvida track the Straw Hats to Whiskey Peak instead, where everyone ends up getting mixed up with Baroque Works.
Meanwhile, I think Drum Island really needs a full two episodes, and Alabasta itself still needs as much time as it can get.
logue town is literally 5 chapters in the manga, they could adapt that easily in about 30 minutes in the live action. forget the anime filler with Sanji Nami and Usopp. Logue town is super short. Episode one could easily be both logue town and laboon at reverse mountain.
but yes drum island will be about two episodes. alabasta itself will be about 4-5 depending on what they want to do tbh.
