History[]

Past[]

The Usopp Pirates were formed 5 years from the start of the story. Ninjin, Tamanegi, and Piiman joined Usopp in telling lies during that time.

East Blue Saga[]

Syrup Village Arc[]

Tamanegi was in Syrup Village when the Straw Hat Pirates arrived.[1] The Usopp Pirates later assisted Kaya in her escape when Captain Kuro planned to kill her. They did this mainly by running and hiding from Jango, whom Kuro sent to make Kaya leave everything to him in her will.[4] After Kuro's defeat, the Usopp Pirates had a tearful disbandment when Usopp decided to be a real pirate. The children decided to continue Usopp's lies of "pirates are coming".[5]

Arabasta Saga[]

Jango's Dance Paradise[]

After Usopp joined Luffy, Tamanegi, Ninjin, and Piiman found Jango in their village, so they chased him and forced him to run away.

Water 7 Saga[]

Post Enies Lobby Arc[]

Tamanegi, Ninjin, and Piiman reacted to Usopp's new bounty after Enies Lobby was raided. Even though it said "Sogeking" and he was wearing a mask, they could recognize him because of his nose.[6]

Fish-Man Island Saga[]

From the Decks of the World[]

Tamanegi, Ninjin, and Piiman read a newspaper about the Straw Hats' return.[3]

Whole Cake Island Saga[]

From the Decks of the World: The 500,000,000 Man Arc[]

After the events at Dressrosa, Kaya and the former Usopp Pirates were overjoyed to see Usopp's new wanted poster.[7]

Translation and Dub Issues[]

Tamanegi's name literally means "Onion", and the translation is used as his name in the English version.

Anime and Manga Differences[]

In Episode 17 the scene from the manga of the three boys returning home after the battle and getting scolded, Tamanegi's mother in particular scolds him from breaking his glasses again was omitted. As a result, Tamanegi replaced his damaged glasses at some point offscreen with no explanation.

Kaya and Usopp Pirates Read Newspaper

Kaya and the Usopp Pirates read the news about Luffy.

In the anime Episode 512, Tamanegi was seen along with Kaya, Ninjin and Piiman, reading the news about Luffy's exploits in Marineford, after the war, something that was not shown in the original manga.[8]
