Shonentard
Which one has better character development?
Nicholas Miller
Brody Gomez
oh right, I have forgotten the tremendous background story that every protagonist has
such development here!
Asher Kelly
Is this what you OPfags consider character development?
Gavin Diaz
I won't say that one piece has a tremendous amout of character development, but if you believe it has none at all you clearly haven't been looking. Have you recently read through any of the older parts of one piece? I did, and there was a lot of stuff in it that I didn't appreciate 6 years ago. The most clear usage of character development probably comes from Usopp. When he fights Luffy for the Merry, he isn't just fighting to keep the Merry. The Merry is being left behind because it's weak. Then why shouldn't Usopp be left behind as well? He's very weak; what is his place in the straw hat pirates, but a burden? In the fight against that wolf boy, later in the arc, he decides to stand his ground and fight, only for him to be a burden to Zoro and to get beaten up. But then later, his sniping skills save Robin and he stands firmly next to the strawhat pirates. In the thriller bark arc he's the only one who can stand up to ghost girl and in dressrosa, he decides to stand up to superior foes, not by overpowering them, but by outwitting them. Even if he doesn't succeed the way the wanted to, he's ultimately rewarded for it. Because that's what one piece does: it rewards those who stand up for themselves and others, even in insurmountable odds. Usopp tried to be strong. He tried to be someone he wasn't, a super hero: Sniper king. But ultimately he's best of being himself and his character arc is about finding that out and finding a way to be useful to the straw hats. But of course, One piece doesn't have any character development and is a show for autistic teens etc. etc.

Uh, no. Why do you ask?
Kayden Kelly
I don't quite get your point you want to make.
Do you mean Zoro is the example or this particular page?

god, OP needed 900+ chapter for a minuscule development? fucking kek!

mixing character development with power up, plus Usopp has faced his fears and enemies since Arlong Park, so that's a no development
