**Yes, I am an Usopp fan, that's plainly obvious, but I don't think my opinion is justified based soley because I'm a fan. If all you can see about Usopp is he is "a pansy that screams like a girl", what can I say, except I think you can't see the forest for the trees. There isn't a single protagonist in One Piece that annoys me. There are only three minor villains that ever did. I can see in just about every character, even the minor ones we aren't supposed to particularly like, the author's intentions and craftiness in their creation and purpose in the story. I find it disturbing and strange that a fan of a story can be so annoyed and apparently misunderstanding particularly by one of the MAIN protagonists.

Nonono, obviously that is not what all there is to Usopp in my opinion. After 370 or so chapters, I must have seen something else right… Usopp is a person who is a big coward but with much loyalty. His loyalty overpowers his cowardice at times, that enables him to be successful in his endeavors. The forest IS the trees. All the little things about Usopp add up and seriously, it isn't funny anymore. In big defining moments I have nothing against it, in fact I welcome it, when Usopp/Chopper show their true determination. I am annoyed but not misunderstood. Simply put, I am sick of the same old "humour" conjured by the Usopp character. Not only his courage, also his lying.. I do know his lies are to protect and not to cause harm, but what the hell, it gets tiring listening to him introducing himself as the great captain usopp with 3000 men or whatever. The number changes often doesn't it?
I think, for me, I have a somewhat short patience and I haven't really been seeing Usopp development, except in the rare occassions, whereafter he immediately reverts back to his former self later. I DON'T HATE USOPP. I WANT HIM TO GET STRONGER >_< not to mention less lame and braver, which this alter ego Sogeking has done, thus I am grateful for it. Will check out the link.
