Yasopp and Usopp: A Father-and-Son Display Built From Two Different Lines
Back in 1997, Eiichiro Oda opened One Piece in Weekly Shonen Jump with a small detail that still stings. In chapter one, a sniper named Yasopp brags to a young Luffy about the son he left behind. Nearly three decades later, the story still withholds their reunion. Because of this, collectors build it themselves. A single Yasopp figure placed beside the right Usopp does what the manga refuses to do. In fact, the best version of this display comes from two different lines, and the mismatch is the point.
The best Yasopp figure for a father-and-son display is The Shukko Yasopp from Banpresto, at roughly 16 cm, paired with the roughly 14 cm Usopp DXF The Grandline Men from Film Red. The two-centimetre gap lets the father stand slightly taller without any custom work. Additionally, a third option exists: the 2012 Film Z Styling Usopp adds an earlier-film variant for collectors who want a timeline.
The Reunion the Manga Keeps Postponing
What the Story Actually Gives Us
First, the facts. Yasopp left Syrup Village to sail with Shanks while Usopp was still a small child. Usopp’s mother, Banchina, later died of illness, and the boy kept shouting that pirates were coming. He hoped one of those ships carried his father. However, Usopp never turned bitter. Instead, he chose the same life and swore to become a brave warrior of the sea.
Meanwhile, Yasopp never stopped talking about him. Luffy confirms it during the Syrup Village arc, and that conversation recruits Usopp better than any speech. Still, Oda has kept the two apart ever since. As a result, the pairing carries more tension than almost any other family tie in the series.
Why Film Red Raised the Stakes
Toei Animation released One Piece Film Red in Japanese cinemas in August 2022. For the first time, father and son fought together, linked through Observation Haki across two separate worlds. Even so, the film never put them in the same room. In short, Film Red gave collectors the emotional beat and left the physical meeting to our shelves. Therefore, Film Red merchandise matters more than any other release for this specific display.
Which Yasopp Figure Should Anchor the Scene?
Yasopp in The Shukko Line
Banpresto built The Shukko around one idea: departure. “Shukko” translates roughly as setting sail, and the line catches characters at the moment they leave port. For Yasopp, that theme lands hard. After all, his departure is the whole wound. Consequently, the Yasopp The Shukko Figure carries narrative weight that a generic battle pose never could.
Yasopp The Shukko Figure One Piece | Banpresto
The greatest sniper on the seas takes aim. This The Shukko figure by Banpresto captures Yasopp, senior officer of the Red Hair Pirates and father of Usopp, in a dynamic painted pose that celebrates one of One Piece’s most legendary marksmen. Personally recruited by Shanks himself for his unmatched sniping reputation, Yasopp is a man whose name carries weight across the entire Grand Line.
The sculpt stands roughly 16 cm tall and costs €35 at Rare Inventory. Additionally, Yasopp merchandise remains thin compared with his captain’s. For example, Shanks receives new sculpts constantly, while his sniper waits years between releases. Therefore, any decent Yasopp figure deserves a serious look while stock exists.
Why Prize Figures Suit This Pairing
Banpresto produces prize figures for Japanese crane-game arcades, and the brand does not publish edition sizes. Because of this, nobody can promise a reissue. In contrast, premium scale statues cost several times more and rarely cover supporting characters like Yasopp. Prize lines fill that gap. Moreover, their modest price lets you buy both generations without flinching.
That said, check condition before you commit. Prize boxes are thin, and imported stock often shows corner dents. Similarly, paint on small prize sculpts varies from unit to unit. Ultimately, a clean box matters less here than a clean face print, because this display lives outside the box.
Usopp in DXF and Film Z Form
The Film Red DXF: The Natural Partner
The Usopp DXF The Grandline Men Film Red Figure arrived in 2022 as Vol. 7 of the film’s DXF run. It shows Usopp in his Film Red battle costume and stands roughly 14 cm tall. Most importantly, it comes from the one film where father and son actually cooperate. At €32, it is also the cheapest piece in this guide.
Usopp DXF The Grandline Men Film Red Figure One Piece | Banpresto
Add the Straw Hat Pirates’ legendary sniper to your collection with the Usopp DXF The Grandline Men Film Red Figure by Bandai Namco Holdings Banpresto. Inspired by Usopp’s appearance in One Piece Film Red, this collectible features detailed sculpting, vibrant colors, and his stylish movie-inspired outfit.
DXF The Grandline Men is Banpresto’s workhorse line for the series’ male cast. The sculpts stay upright and readable, which helps a paired display. For instance, a wild action pose would fight The Shukko’s composed mood. Instead, the DXF Usopp stands his ground, and the two figures read as one conversation.
The Film Z Styling: The 2012 Wildcard
Next comes the older option. Bandai launched Super One Piece Styling Film Z Special 1st in November 2012, weeks before the film opened in Japan. Each figure sold as a candy toy for 882 yen including tax. As a result, the Usopp Film Z Special 1st Super One Piece Styling Figure belongs to a different product category entirely.
Usopp Film Z Special 1st Super One Piece Styling Figure One Piece | Bandai
The Straw Hat sniper steps up in his most daring Film Z look. This Super One Piece Styling Film Z Special 1st figure by Bandai captures Usopp in his bold Film Z battle costume, weapon at the ready and that brave, never-give-up spirit that has carried him through every impossible battle on the Grand Line.
However, age gives it an edge. This sculpt is now well over a decade old, and sealed candy toy stock from 2012 does not multiply. At €40, it costs more than either Banpresto piece. Even so, collectors who want a Film Z era Usopp have few routes left. Candy toy scale also varies by character, so check the listing’s measurements before you plan the shelf.
| Figure | Line | Source | Approx. height | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yasopp | The Shukko (Banpresto) | Manga and anime | 16 cm | €35 |
| Usopp | DXF The Grandline Men Vol. 7 (Banpresto) | Film Red, 2022 | 14 cm | €32 |
| Usopp | Super One Piece Styling Film Z Special 1st (Bandai) | Film Z, 2012 | Candy toy scale, check listing | €40 |
Mixing Scales Without It Looking Wrong
Use the Height Gap, Do Not Hide It
Mixed-line displays fail when collectors pretend the lines match. They do not. However, this pairing forgives the mismatch. The Shukko Yasopp stands about two centimetres above the DXF Usopp, and a father who reads slightly taller looks intentional. In fact, the gap sells the relationship better than identical heights would.
Base design is the real problem. Different lines ship with different bases, and clashing plastic breaks the illusion faster than height. Therefore, treat the bases first. For example, a strip of dark felt or a shared acrylic riser unifies two figures instantly.
Three Rules for Mixed-Line Shelves
- First, match eye lines. Angle each figure so the faces point at each other or at one shared target.
- Second, stagger the depth. Place the smaller sculpt slightly forward, because distance exaggerates any size difference.
- Finally, light from one side. A single light source gives both figures the same shadows and hides differences in paint finish.
Beyond that, keep the pair away from larger statues. A 30 cm centrepiece nearby turns both figures into accessories. Instead, give them a dedicated shelf section with empty space on both sides.
How to Turn a Yasopp Figure and an Usopp Into One Scene
Scene One: The Near Miss
This is my pick. Stand Yasopp and the Film Red Usopp back to back, about a hand’s width apart. Each sniper watches a different horizon, and neither sees the other. Consequently, the display mirrors Film Red exactly: allied, synchronised and still separated. The pair costs €67, and nothing else at this budget tells a story this clearly.
Scene Two: The Face-Off
Alternatively, turn them toward each other. Leave a clear gap between the bases, because the empty space does the acting. This version imagines the meeting Oda keeps holding back. Still, it works best with the two Banpresto pieces, since their similar proportions keep the moment believable.
Scene Three: The Timeline
Finally, the three-figure build. Put the Film Z Usopp on one side, the Film Red Usopp on the other, and Yasopp behind them on a low riser. As a result, the shelf shows a son across a decade of films while his father watches from a distance. The full set costs €107. That said, only commit if you enjoy explaining your shelf to visitors.
| Setup | Figures | Total cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Near Miss | Yasopp + Film Red Usopp | €67 | Film Red fans, tight shelves |
| The Face-Off | Yasopp + Film Red Usopp | €67 | Collectors who want the reunion |
| The Timeline | Yasopp + both Usopp figures | €107 | Completists, wider shelves |
Editor’s Pick: The Two-Figure Core
Buy the Yasopp first. The Yasopp The Shukko Figure at €35 is the scarce half of this story, and Usopp sculpts are far easier to find. Next, add the Film Red DXF Usopp at €32 for the cleanest scale match. Together, the pair costs €67 and delivers the full scene.
Where to Buy
Rare Inventory stocks all three figures in this guide and ships from France to collectors across Europe. Therefore, you can build the complete father-and-son display in one order. Start at rareinventory.com and secure Yasopp first, because he is the piece this scene cannot replace.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Yasopp figure to display with Usopp?
The Shukko Yasopp from Banpresto is the strongest choice. Its departure theme fits the character’s story, and its roughly 16 cm height sits naturally beside a 14 cm DXF Usopp.
Do Yasopp and Usopp ever meet in One Piece?
No face-to-face reunion appears in the material this guide covers. However, Film Red came closest in 2022, when the two coordinated through Observation Haki from separate worlds.
Can I mix prize figures and candy toy figures on one shelf?
Yes, with planning. First, unify the bases with a shared riser or fabric. Then stagger the depth so the smaller sculpt sits slightly forward.
Are these figures limited editions?
Neither Banpresto nor Bandai numbers these releases. Even so, prize runs and 2012 candy toys carry no reissue guarantee, so availability depends on remaining stock.
