Biography[]

Usopp Comforts Banchina

Young Usopp trying to comfort his dying mother.

Banchina was left by her husband to follow his dreams and go to sea with the Red Hair Pirates. However, this caused Usopp to grow up with a sick mother who became bed-ridden due to her illness.

Every day Usopp would tell the same lie, that his father had returned to take them away, hoping it would keep her hopes high and help her to recover. However, she knew he would never return, and before her death, she told Usopp that she was glad he had gone out to sea.[1]

Legacy[]

After Banchina passed away, Usopp continued to tell the same lie, even though he no longer had any reason to do so.[1]

Anime and Manga Differences[]

In one of the Loguetown fillers, Yasopp admitted that he was useless and could do nothing for his wife and child. After one of Shanks' men asks whether it was for the better, Shanks' men hoot and cheer like it was a good thing he left his wife and child.[4]
