why uta is a well-written character
Tumblr media
reposted from twitter since i saw uta get a lot of hate on there. a lot of people seem to not get her character so i am writing this post in hopes of getting people to see the light. anyways here we go,
1. her motivations are well supported by her backstory. it all began in the tragedy in elegia years prior where shanks took the blame for the destruction of the city and left uta in the care of gordon. this led uta to being forced into a life of loneliness and isolation for the rest of her growing up years.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
these feelings accumulate while she studies music until she eventually finds a den den mushi to livestream her performance. here she learns of the harshness of pirates in the outside world and coupled with her resentment towards the red haired pirates for leaving her motivates her to revisit her old dream of starting a new genesis. this is a solid way of story cohesion between uta's backstory and her actions in the present. everything ties in very nicely & its easy to understand & empathize with.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2) i've seen some complain about how uta saying that she knew all along that she had caused the destruction of elegia & called it bad writing. this was actually her way of coping with the years of isolation but also her grief in shanks leaving her.
Tumblr media
i speculate that uta realized she caused the destruction of elegia when she learned about tot musica and when faced with this, she chooses to find someone else to blame because guilt ate away at her so she chose to continue believing the lie that shanks did it. so it isnt bad writing because we are given more context on her mental state at the time and it is meant to be a gateway for viewers to empathize with her more but i guess people missed that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. she is not entirely evil. yes she is a villain because she believes she is doing whats right in order to achieve her goal however she still has goodness in her heart. she could've easily kept people trapped in the song world after tot musica was defeated.
Tumblr media
but she didnt because she realized that what she did was wrong and she changed for the better. yes there's moments in the film where she does upsetting things like tearing shanks's hat but these were done in her mentally unstable state so it is unfair to entirely fault her for her actions. she is merely a misguided and misunderstood lonely girl with a dream so dont be so hard on her. she is good deep down.
4. her character is unique. already a given since we dont have that many music centric characters except maybe brook but even brook's powers aren't linked to music so uta is really special. also her songs carry so much meaning and not only does it set the mood for most scenes but it also adds to the story. i highly recommend checking out the lyrics of each uta song because they really tie in to the events of the story and you might just enjoy her character more.
Tumblr media
5. her canonity adds more flare to the story. oda recently confirmed uta to be canon and this means a lot to both shanks and luffy's backstory. it does not detract from their backstories but rather it gives more context like how we understand a lot more about luffy's dream and why he wants a musician in his crew thanks to uta.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
as for shanks, he now has more reason of being and we also got some clues to his lineage in the movie. this is really nice since most shoe horned characters have issues when they're added to canon.
alright so thats all. its been quite the long thread but i love uta and i want more people to appreciate her instead of hating or mischaracterizing her. if i missed anything do let me know. thanks and have a nice day <3

genuine question, I'm going through OP for the first time, I'm at Sabaody but I've heard of Uta and her whole thing with Shanks. but I thought the movies weren't canon? like I thought they were their own separate fun thing from the series?
You're right, the movies aren't canon and they are their own separate fun (sometimes not so fun. Sometimes they end up traumatizing you) thing from the series. However! Uta herself is canon. Luffy's past with her and Shanks' relationship with her are canon. Everything that happened in their past is canon, but the events of the movie (the concert and everything that happens in the present time) aren't. In fact, Luffy likes music so much because of her and he mentions to Brook something about the music that played Shanks' crew. He was so excited to find a musician for the same reason, because of Uta. So basically, if you don't want to watch the movie that's fine but the episodes that come before that and the flashbacks happened.

Decided to make a crochet wing shawl in Uta (one piece film red)‘S wing colours.
It’s been 3-4 days. I’ve only just started the second layer on the white half of the wing. I haven’t even taken the pink yarn out of the bag. Am I insane? Maybe. Is this going to become a big part of my wardrobe? … also maybe.

Scrapbooking OP Charas 7- Uta, Boa Hancock, and Alvida!! Featuring a decorated photocard of Uta (I didn’t realize the photo carriers were a bit smaller so I had to cut up the edge of her card a bit 🥴 it’s okay though since I had a dupe of this card soooo-).
The Alvida was for me and the two other fans of her ✊I LOVE THESE LADIES!! I’ll do Perona and Nami tomorrow, I think. I feel bad I haven’t done them yet considering I love em so much 😭

Okay I actually think that the official translation calling Saya by "It" makes a lot of sense for English
But I do love the Fan translation calling Saya by "he/him" and then her choosing to acknowledge herself with "she/her"

Film RED is a masterpiece
Tumblr media
One Piece RED delivered canon-levels of emotional
damage
 impact. The whole movie was a masterclass in animation and emotional weight.
HEAVY SPOILERS BELOW FOR FILM RED AND WANO !! 
1. The scene where Uta ripped Luffy’s strawhat. I KNEW that was a dream. I KNEW the movie wasn’t canon. AND YET !! AND YET..... Luffy’s screams.... His VA’s phenomenal voice acting.... the hat tearing apart... His inability to do anything about it.... That killed me.....
2. Luffy standing there arms crossed, observing the battlefield while his team was attacking Tot Musica and wind blowing throught his hair and gigantic hat. In my mind, I already knelt and called him my king.
3. Uta fighting to stay awake and free everyone, then keeping Luffy last to have a final conversation with him... apologizing for the hat and repairing it... them having that final conversation... the atmosphere... so calm... and so heavy... so warm.. and so sad... they both knew Uta wouldn’t make it alive.. Luffy knew... she knew... and Luffy was heartbroken again... please One Piece writers... stop making my baby suffer...
4. The Redhair pirates are everything we wished for and MORE ! A crew where everyone is a Haki user. FUCKING YASSOP ACTUALLY HAVING AN EXCHANGE WITH HIS SON !!! SHANKS BLASTING HAKI AT FUJITORA AND STOPPING KAIZARU !!!! And his final goobyes with his daughter... Then the funeral, and Luffy looking from a distance in solmen silence as Shank’s boat leaves with Uta’s coffin...
5. FUCKING GEAR 5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANIMATED GEAR 5 !!!!!!!!! LUFFY LOOKED FUCKING FERAL IN IT ! IT SUITS HIM SO WELL !!!!!!!!! ALL PRAISE THE FUTURE KING !!!!!!

AU in which Buggy actually formed a crew with Shanks and they're both co-captains (and boyfriends) and when they find Uta in that treasure chest they keep her and become inexperienced young dads who are not even married and already have a more serious relationship than most people. Buggy absolutely loves her. He does shows with her. They play pranks on Shanks. He does her makeup and helps her with her songs. Protects her to death. They take turns to watch the ship with her because she stays there whenever they fight other pirates, so that way she isn't alone. That's their little princess!! Buggy is more responsible and a bit more strict than Shanks and he's the one to scold them both when they do stupid things, because somebody in this family needs to have a brain. Shanks spoils her too much, and Buggy loves her a lot but he's the one to stop Shanks when it becomes too much. And the crew has to hold them back sometimes because touching their daughter means killing somebody and Benn has to take care of these things sometimes because otherwise they'll end up killing a whole crew because somebody bumped into the little girl once.
When she grows up she ends up having her own room, but she's still a kid and she always ends up sneaking into their room to sleep with them. She prefers to be in the middle of their dads!! And then she's the first one to wake up to make their early morning impossible to handle. She takes naps with Shanks on deck, and Buggy has to place the straw hat on her head to cover her pretty face from the sun because Shanks fell asleep before the sun began to bother them. Buggy and her play hide and seek and she always complains about him winning because his power is cheating, and he just tells her that she has to be more strategic and learn to fight against any sort of danger and cheating in the pirate world. And- And they're happy. Buggy does her hair and she loves her dad's hair too. Shanks kisses her forehead first and then Buggy's before sleeping.
And then the whole... Incident happens. But instead of leaving her there as Shanks says, they have a huge fight. The biggest they've had after Loguetown a few years back. But Buggy insists and honestly? Shanks doesn't need much convincing to take Uta with them to the end of the world. So they keep her. And she stays.
