Usopp gadgets

Deicide

I was trying to find all Usopp gadgets (not ammo or dials) that he used over the saga. Can someone help me? These are those that I can remember:

That grappling hook he used in Skypiea
Those octopus-feet he uses to climb walls (used to climb Maxim and to walk the outside walls of Puffing Tom)
Jumping boots (used to jump off Maxim, carrying Sanji with him)
Usopp Pound (used in his battle against Mr. 4 and Ms. MC)
Smoke screem used to escape CP9 in Puffing Tom.

Has he used anything else of his own creation?

With his Sogeking persona, I am thinking that Usopp will begin to use all those and other gadgets in order to strengthen his super-hero persona (much like Batman uses to make impressive feats).

Lieju

He made those diving suits out of barrels for Sanji, Zoro and Luffy, when they went underwater to investigate the ship that fell from the sky. Do those count?

Deicide

I think they count as proof of his resoucefulness (sp).
But I'm trying to find other portable devices that he may use to augment his weak physical abilities.

Sanctum

Pffft. by the end of the series, we'll be in a mech.
Are we counting the ones he's made, or the one he uses?
Because I suppose you could count the Climatact in the 'made' character.

Deicide

I'm counting the ones he uses. So, the Climatact is out.

Rai

Usopp used various new ones fighting Luffy, didn't he?
Like those shurikans.

boiga

but he somehow launched the shurikens from his slingshot, so that might count as ammo as well.

Tsuchirinhon

The shurikens were tied together in a string, then seperated upon launch. T'was called Hissatsu: Shuriken Meteor Swarm [or something like that].

Can't think of any gadgets that you didn't list, though.

KaizokuFan22

the kabuto…or does that not count?

Deicide

Well, we can count the kabuto, yes. I did not count it because we do not know what else can that thing do.

Let's see:

Intro arc: Kaltrops, panchinko, explode star.

Kreig: Nada.

Arlong: A hammer smokescreen, and rubberband.

Alabasta: Signal flare, chalkboard, Usopp Pounder.

Skypiea: Grappling hook (Usopp AHh!), spring shoes, octopus shoes.

Enies Lobby: Kabuto and dials.

I…think that's most of them, skipping some of the dial/not gadget moves. The "gadgets" are highlights since I listed them by memory.

G-Greato

what about the small board he uses for "Usopp Nooooooise" ?
It could be seen as a gadget, too!

KaizokuFan22

what about tabasco star?

Deicide

Thanks, One Moment! That signal flare "Red Snake Star" was cool and I totally forgot that. But I think the chalkboard (Usopp Noise) is just comic relief. =]

All think that is all, but anyone feel free to participate and add your comments.

I know you probably meant that as a joke but ever since Sogeking got introduced I thought of Usopp putting that so far in the future that his whole body will be covered in some sort of indestructable amo. Kinda like Iron-Man who by himself is not very strong but with the right amo belongs to the strongest of the Marvel superheroes.

I mean all those dials and the alter ego would make it possible to have two completely different guys at the end. So far Usopp and Sogeking are almost the same except that the size of their weapons is different. I wonder if that is some sort of subtle message about superheroes having the larger…well whatever.

murray24

in the kuro arc he used some sort of liquid (i don't remember what is was exactly) to stop kuro's crew to climb (but zorro got stuck in it).

I agree. Since Sogeking appeared, it seems that Oda plans to maintain Usopp a "weakling" by bolstering his Sogeking persona. So, while Usopp is cowardly and weak, Sogeking is full of resources and fakes bravery.

However, I do not think he will get an armor, though I may be wrong. I think he will use more and more gadgets, more like Batman or Blue Beetle than Iron Man or Steel.

Yeah, that´s actually even better. I´d really to see him to get actually strong with gadgets and everything as Sogeking (in a manner like he fought against Luffy) and still remains the Usopp he is to make him realise at the end that all those gadgets etc. he uses as Sogeking only make him that much better because he, the person that Usopp is, knows how to use them.

But to have that conflict and solution Sogeking and Usopp need to act different in a fight, otherwise there´d be no point for comparing the two with each other.

Deicide

Agreed. =]

Usopp needs a real freaking gun, or some projectile better than a childish slingshot type crap. Otherwise I'm going to start really not liking Usopp. GIVE THE MF A REAL GUN/ANY WEAPON DANGIT! lol

Gizmo

Usopp can shoot farther with a slingshotthan any normal gun can!

But if/when he does get a gun, it'll be a signal that he's a man. A big strong man.

lol no one cares if u like him or not

AnotherHero

His father uses guns so i can see him getting one sometime in the series. I can also see the two of them squaring off at the end.

onemoment

It does say something when Usopp can outgun people with a slingshot.

@ultimateclima:

I see this as the best reason for Usopp to get a gun. Not cause it's a "better weapon" but because of some coming of age experience.

It's been shown that Usopp's slingshot is more powerful they the average gun several times. That and, I'm not convinced that Usopp has the technical skill to make a gun that's stronger then his Kabuto right now.

I mean, the "Usopp needs a gun!" arguments are kind of lame, since they're all based on the idea that Usopp will kick more ass with a gun. It's like saying that "Zoro should have a gun!" since guns are inheritly superior weapons to swords. Every see Japanese history? Guns > Swords in reality. Of course, that's not where One Piece takes place.

Edit: Whoops, that should be Guns > Swords. My bad. Funny how one typo can change the entire meaing of your post…

ascalon

Guns < Swords in reality. Of course, that's not where One Piece takes place.

Yea sure. If you studied history at all, you'd know that the invention of the gatling gun decimated the Japanese forces. Seperate fantasy and anime from reality please .

I think usopp next upgrade will be sling too, since sling oredi usopp's trademark. from enies lobby arc usopp aready shown slingshot effectiveness. (navy bullet cant even reach usopp) in future usopp will have to prove that his sling - kabuto or upgrade version sling will own any sharp shooter that using gun. if not he wont deserve to be future pirate king's sharp shooter.

bad english hope u guys know what i trying to say.

What are the things on Usopp's hands in Chapter 450? I can't remember if they have been used before.

Ivotas

You mean on page 5? Isn´t that just his bag he´s holding up to protect as if it was a shield?

Ive never seen it before, so I think its a new gadgets we havent seen.

Weather or not its a shield or not, well, it doesnt look like much a shield.

Impel Down

Well, it's like putting your arms in front of your face. Your arms aren't much of a shield either.

Ivotas

@King-Of-Fools:

You still didn´t answer my question if that is the item you´re talking about or not. If yes, then this really seems to be the bag he´s always carrying around with him to store all his gadgets inside.

Okay Akon, calm down.

Impel Down

Usopp won't use a gun until he think's he's at Yassopp's level, I think.

@Impel:

I don't think he ever will because he doesn't need to. He's already proficient enough with the slingshot that using a gun would a step down for him.

Plus, you can't create smokescreens or shoot eggs or fire tobassco sauce with a gun

A bullet fired from a gun > a pachinko

I answerd that it looks like Air bags, not a shield. But yes it was on page 5.

It doesnt look like a storage bag either.

I hope we get to see it later on in the arc.

Ivotas

Are you serious? This is so his storage bag. Perhaps you should check a bigger picture but you can clearly see that it is the same bag he carries around ever since he first appeared in the story. Furthermore you can see that the bag´s belt is connected to his upper body and on top of that on the far right you can see a seam.

Oh I see it now thanks. I couldnt tell it was his bag at first because he usually gets ammo from his side and not infort of him. Thx for clearing that up.

Impel Down

He can just use an Impact Dial as a shield.

Gizmo

Is it possible to absorb a cut? I'm just wondering cuz iono i'd just think it'd cut the dial in half. If it is his bag that'd make since so he could have just taken whatever he could get out like the impact dial too though.

Impel Down

No, it would absorb the sword. The sword would just stop as soon as it touches.

No problem, if that´s really the only size you had then it really is hard to see since especially the part above his right thumb makes the whole thing appear as if it was something else.

*Meh*

I'm still waiting for the Usopp & Nami Killer Combo: 8000 Snipers. By combining Nami's Fata Morgana mirage technique with Usopp's mad sniping skillz, the effect against the enemy would be devastating. Plus, it's the quickest way to see Usopp get his eight thousand followers.

Impel Down

That would be fantastic, I agree.
