Usopp

The Usopp card, identified as ST21-002, was released as part of the Starter Deck -GEAR5- [ST-21] for the One Piece Card Game. This set was designed to coincide with the high-stakes narrative arcs of the Wano Country and Egghead Island sagas, focusing on the evolution of the Straw Hat crew. The character design honors Eiichiro Oda’s long-standing visual aesthetic, specifically highlighting Usopp’s transition into his post-timeskip appearance while maintaining the tactical, support-oriented identity he holds within the game’s mechanics.

The illustration itself captures the adventurous spirit and strategic versatility associated with Usopp. Like other character cards in the starter deck series, this piece was crafted to offer players a reliable engine for board control and resource management. Upon its release, it was noted by the trading card game community for its accessibility to newcomers and its thematic accuracy, serving as a functional staple within the red and green color archetypes that define the -GEAR5- expansion.
