After Elbaf, It’s Time To Admit Oda Has Ruined Usopp Forever

Throughout the last year of the story, one important aspect has been consistently overlooked: Usopp’s development. Because Usopp’s entire character is so closely linked to the island of Elbaf, fans naturally expected a lot from this arc. When Elbaf was announced, many hoped it would give Usopp the chance to grow, as his progress has stalled recently. Fans felt he needed this development to prepare for the challenges coming in the final part of the story. However, so far, the Elbaf arc hasn’t delivered for Usopp, and if this continues, it’s possible his character arc will end without fulfilling its potential.
