Usopp Gallery Pirates



Usopp Gallery Pirates (ウソップギャラリー海賊団) is a special tankōbon feature, introduced in Volume 5, that publishes select One Piece fan-art with "commentary" from Usopp.

The galleries are usually found at the end of each volume, though on occasion they may be used to intersperse chapters in place of an SBS column. Like the SBS, each one features a header drawn by Eiichiro Oda; these usually depict Usopp posing in some outlandish costume.

Overview
Submissions to the gallery—which may be virtually anything on a two-dimensional surface, including photographs of three-dimensional works—are collected at the same address as SBS submissions:

Per company policy, all submissions must list a name and functional mailing address on the back, or else be immediately discarded on receipt.

From Volume 6 on, each gallery has publicly recognized one grand-prize winner. The prize in question is a Luffy sketch from Eiichiro Oda, personally autographed.

(According to Oda, gallery works are chosen based on skill, interest of subject, style, and most importantly how well the address is written on the envelope.)

Translation and Dub Issues
Due to potential copyright concerns, the Viz manga does not reprint the Galleries wholesale, instead soliciting new art submissions to the following address:

Viz began printing its galleries from Volume 7 on. Due to low interest, the series was featured irregularly, and discontinued entirely at Volume 20 (notwithstanding a one-time revival in Volume 61).

Trivia

 * Kōhei Horikoshi, the creator of fellow Jump manga My Hero Academia, submitted a drawing for the Volume 23 gallery when he was younger.
 * The anime's last ending, "Adventure World", features a similar showcase of fan-art, rotating new submissions with every individual episode.
