    The demographic for shounen anime being what it is, it is understandable that a sizeable chunk of the fans would be dissatisfied with the "goofy" power up Luffy got. I don't think anyone should be chastised as "fake fans" for their tastes either. It is the way it is.
    But this power up is narratively perfect for a character like Luffy and an absurdist story about freedom and liberation like One Piece. I cannot put into words how much I respect Oda for doing what he wanted to do, instead of appeasing the fans. I believe that's what art should be. The canvas belongs to the artist, and the artist should have the freedom to say whatever they want using their art. Some people may not like it, we may loose some fans along the way even; but that's okay.

      Sorry but I disagree, If you are a real fan you can go back and imagine all of luffy's previous battle and imagine the toon stuff right in you've just never been able to see it. The fruits power is imagination NOT toonforce, when he awakens you see the world the way he wants to. You also see Luffy beginning to awaken the fruit with G3 Lucci notices it and so does Flamingo they both comment on how his fruit shouldn't be doing what it does. There are One Piece fans and then there are "fans" and it's great to see vids of long time self proclaimed Haters enjoying and having a better grip on Luffy's awakening then the so called "fans".

It's just turning him way too hyper and humorous for him to focus, almost to the extent of him being a little crazy. That's what they were trying to portray with 1071. Or an example I can give of what I mean is to me Luffy's new found power seems to just be the anime version of The Mask with Jim Carrey. With that in mind though here's something to think about: Was normal luffy always goofy and carefree or did he become that way as a side effect of eating the Nika fruit?

    Using the most realistic scene I've seen in one piece animation BEFORE Luffy activates gear 5 is an incredible contrast between the "gritty reality" of the dystipic one piece world, the face of a fighter for liberation who fully embraces his inner being and lets go of all inhibitions to his expression that leads into a new animation style where the old cruel world literally loses its edges as the librrator changes it as he himself changed.

    His Heartbeat is playing some Looney Tunes, I see. ANd it really embodies a Looney Tunes confrontation. You know Bugs Bunny is going to win. The idea is how entertaining his antics are...and how foolish he makes his opponent feel. No wonder why he keeps laughing at him. This boy is filled with joy.

    this 1 minute and 44 has every side of luffy on it, and IT is THE reason It's my newest and favorite scene from one piece so far. The color, the animation, fluid like he is becoming blurry and cartoony, felling all the things around him. He is not just joking around, but is listening to the voices of all things, removing all the bad feelings and suffering, and just being what he is.
    He is funny, but not for the sake of being funny. He is funny because that's the way to lighten a heavy heart.
    Momo, who lost his father the cruelest way possible, is watching. What could be better to him, than to see kaido beaten up by some funny dude? To be proven that Kaido is wrong, and that now HE is gonna lose?

    These sequences take so much time to pull off to this standard. The fact there are people in the comments accusing this episode of having AI generated animation. I didn't realise we could reach that level of ignorance. do your research before you accuse. "shaky" animation doesn't equal interpolated OR AI generated.

      @@redhotchikapepr8978I can confirm, I did not watch the anime. There’s nothing about it that seems worth the journey at all. This transformation seems unique, but unique doesn’t mean interesting or engaging. Gear 5 definitely isn’t something that will get someone into One Piece. Or at least not me. If I wanted wacky cartoon animation I would just watch cartoons. If I wanted such a light tone I can just watch Slice of Life. 1000+ episodes for an a moment that would make me feel nothing is not worth it. But my opinion doesn’t matter. Just enjoy.

    I think what's terrifying is that it almost seems like haki (one of the only ways to hurt devilfruit users) has no effect. Kaido has to be one of the strongest haki users in the anime, so to see luffy constantly bounce back from attack after attack after attack is bonkers.
