Damn . It's fire
Will you continue your devil fruit encyclopaedia series?
Love videos btw
Sgahnon I'm from Qld and if you want good crocodile you gotta cook it like pork with salt, lemon, pepper and msg.
@@2Bros-OVO funny 😂
I think my favourite hint towards gear 5 and the gum gum fruit not being what it seemed was just Kaido reacting to snakeman with "wait... rubber shouldn't be able to act like that"
As soon as the ribbon mechanic was explained it was pretty clear to me that at least G4 is an awakening
I make One Piece video
What is the ribbon mechanic ?
I also remember Luffy df appearing when he first went gear 4 in anime.
@Scroll62 are you really going to promote your TH-cam videos on another channels videos? You gimps have no shame.
@@fireblaze8491 i think the ribbon mechanic is that awakened zones have the ribbon effect around them when they tramsform into their awakenings
@@ChrispiChicken I've always called it the awakening mantle but that sounds better, thanks.
The one thing I have always been confused about Tankman. The only appearance of Tank man has a subtitle, full stomach mode, always made me assume that Luffy can use Tankman normally but a less large version, but we never saw it again
I never really saw tankman as a separate form, just gear 4th while he was fat which gave him the extra properties.
I think we've still yet to see the true power of Sun God Nika. We've only seen his "Full Moon" awakening. He currently has the same colouration as the Sulong form of the Minks. I think he'll truly awaken while the sun is at its peak and he has something like a golden form. Truly harnessing the power of the sun.
fun fact. the sun is actually white. the yellow color is cause by light reflecting at certain points. its the same way we can get a yellow moon. i mean why would there be a "moon" mode to a sun god devil fruit? especially if there is a chance that there is a moon god devil fruit.
You missed one thing about gear 5th. Now he can not just affect/enhance his body but also the environment and others around him. That is a huge step.
wonder what a rumble ball would do to luffy’s human fruit
GLR, this is the best One Piece video I've ever seen, props to you.
I’d like to add something that doesn’t detract from this, but rather supports this. The first time we saw a culmination of gears was in Thriller Bark, where Luffy needed to be fast enough AND hit hard enough to take out Oars(and eventually Moria). It’s easy to miss, but this is the first time EVER we see a combination of Gear 2nd and Gear 3rd for a finishing attack. (Which, when you think about it, is the basis for Gear 5. An ability that uses speed AND power-allowing him to access both in one Gear.) So that could also be attributed toward the step taken for awakening. But that’s just my opinion on that 🤷♂️. In terms of more gears, Gear 5 is supposed to be the “Ultimate Freedom”, so I think he’s hit the ceiling in that aspect. However, I do think he’ll find ways to adapt with it and do more with the power.
His full awakening is taking a fight seriously in his awakened form.
I make 0ne Piece videos
literally mad zero sense what you just said.
@@EiichiroOdaSensei bros cant understand read😢😢
My prediction is a gear Reverse. Something id imagine would counter blackbeards nullifying powers.
Always considered Luffy dieing during his fight with drunk kaido to be what pushed him to gear 5th. After the CP0 agent interferes, The narrator pronounces kaido the winner and momo can't hear Luffy anymore. But luffy's determination, as we've seen, awakens the full strength of the nika fruit to bring him back as the newly revived joy boy.
Gear 6 idea- turn everything else into rubber and control it
Best theory ever makes sense with vegapunk said about fruits being the dreams of people
I want to introduce a new theory. The Nen Theory. This theory goes as follows. Long long ago the world had a much more robust power system. This system was still called Haki, but it had a complexity resembling Nen. At the highest level this system grants the user an unique super power. Once perfected, these powers would be on par with a devil fruit awakening. The users of these powers were extremely rare and highly sought after. Eventually a process was developed to separate a power from its user and place it into a transitional vessel that could then be consumed to transfer the power to a recipient user. For this purpose fruits were chosen. An additional benefit to the process was that once the recipient user died the power would then transfer itself into a new transitional vessel. This allowed nations to stockpile these powers as weapons and reuse them as they saw fit. However there was a side-effect, along with a power the recipient users would be imposed with a weakness to the sea. Thus devil fruits were born. The true scale of Haki is part of the hidden history of the world. The government doesn't want the populous to know that anyone could have the potential to unlock powers on par with a devil fruit. However, some rare people still naturally develop their own Nen like abilities. People like Miss Goldenweek and King Elizabello. If I'm right, then the following prediction will come true: the Gorosei will each have a power on scale with a devil fruit awakening, but they will not have a weakness to the sea.
Havent finished the vid yet but from the first time it was shown I always thought jet culverin was an awakening move. Bouncing off of the air to increase speed and power. And with the cloud scarf pretty much being a proof of awakening I rest my case
I make 0ne Piece videos
i really wanna see luffy incorporating actual weaponry shenanigans - like his battle axe and spear attacks he's used sparingly throughout the series (notably leg attacks iirc, his arms use cannon or gun terms usually). i'm basic though. i think that'd be cool still lol
I'd love to see use his Df to make rubber toonie clones that are derpy and can do some real damage to opponents.
I've been thinking that G2 and beyond was subtle steps to his mind awakening faster than his body could, coupled by the drawbacks of g3 and g4.
I really see the next steps being G5 snake/tank/bounce man being implemented next and then hopefully some fresh new forms that really dial in what G5 is.
Great content my dude!
Thinking about the future battles of one piece being obviously Blackbeard and potentially Shanks, I feel we will see the next step passed Gear 5 in one of those matches. Example: we will see Luffy use Gear 5 to defeat Blackbeard, but he will have to dig even deeper to defeat Shanks. Or perhaps the other way around where Luffy vs Shanks is a Gear 5 usage, but at the end Shanks tells Luffy that he will need more than Gear 5 to defeat Blackbeard.
Ok, so it's evident that Gear 5 was white because of moonlight meaning Gear 5 reflects either sunlight or moonlight so I think the "last" step will be Gear 5 but yellow and stronger since it will reflect the sun so basically I think Gear 5 is even stronger in day since there is pure sunlight but slightly weaker at night because it is just the moon reflecting sunlight
As a wise man once said gomu gomu nika nika no no mi mi
My theory is that when you reach the One Piece, it reveals to you that you are inside a work of fiction, and this is also revealed to a character that dies. Luffy fully died. Once he realized that he was a character in a cartoon, the laws of physics no longer applied to him. After his transformation, he literally says “Do you really think death can scare me now?” When Kaido points out that this transformation will kill him from the energy he’s expending. In essence, Gear 5th is Luffy at his most free because he knows he’s the main character, can do literally anything and has plot armor.
I wonder if joyboy had Luffys fruit and that originally it was just the gumo gumo nomi and his will turned it into hito hito nomi model nikka. Maybe joyboy became the inspiration for the mythological god nikka instead of there just being a living god in one piece.
When I saw the UFC thing giving a decision to a white guy over a Hawaiian, I thought it would be Volk over Holloway, since, you know, you’re both Australian, but upon further inspection that’s Calvin Kattar getting the nod over Dan Ige. Strange choice Liam.
"Kidd and Law will be able-" Lol, you sure about that first 1 ? XDDD
Video 188
I love the videos and I hope your day was great. Keep up the great work.
Aye, I haven't been this early for any video. Keep up the great content Mr. GrandLine sir!
Now you're making me wonder what an Awakened Yami Yami No Mi user would be able to do
If.... Kidd is still alive... he could perfect is awakening.
don’t forget luffys awakening explains how he can conjure fire from nothing but Aces will.
When Luffy was fighting Kaido and using all of his gear 4 stuff all at once, that's what I thought his awakening would be. I was somewhat right but wasn't expecting the drastic change in look. The color pallet swap threw me since his gear 4 look was black and red.
I'm confused. I thought it was noted that awakening means you can affect your surroundings so how does anything less than gear 5 do that
We need hoodie variants of the merch!!
Shouldn't red hawk be a step too have fire be in his attack that come out of nowhere
Luffy's next step... Becoming Smarter
If both chopper and luffy have hito hito no mi devil fruit and luffy df is model nika is it possible that there is also a model for choppers devil fruit
I'm curious about the explanation for how gear 2nd works. I think it was Lucci theorizing about Luffy's increased abilities in gear 2nd iirc? I'm cool w the explanation that he's speeding stuff up in his body, but I'm unclear on, that's a zoan form, right? So if it's a form of his df, should we still assume that it works exactly as Lucci was speculating? Most importantly, is it still taking years off of his life as was suggested at the time? Like, does going heavy point take time off of Chopper's life? Or does dragon form take years off of Kaido's life? Or is it just for Nika fruit for some reason? I'm unclear on if that is official explanation and if it was just from Lucci, w out him even knowing that it's actually a zoan, can we trust it 100%? Or is it possible there is a detail or difference that may be revealed later, or that Lucci was unaware of? Though it may not matter bc of gear 5th, which really does seem to drain him more than previous forms so idk. My main questions for 2nd are is this the 'official' explanation, the "doping" thing Lucci said, or best we have? And is it still taking years off of Luffy's life?
I'm pretty sure Luffy died on the roof with the CP0 guy interfering in his and kaido's fight Remember the heartbeat afterwards.
Will u do a cross guild theory video about cipher pol and law maybe joining and potential agents of cipher pol like kuro and gin cause i think they'll be cp9 agents are just training captains who do things like cp0 and cp1 through cp8 is captain and vice captains with pacifista and assassins like cp1 jabra and nero cp2 kumadori and blueno cp3 gin and kuro cp4 khalifa and spandam cp5 6 and 7 have died this arc and cp8 is coby helmeppo and fukurou somewhere idk where exactly tho and maybe cross guild members and potential bounties like marco 1,745 billion handled king and queen awhile and could beat either in a 1v1 to set the bar for sanji and zoro and if kid will come back and with who like neo mads big mom pirates to fight blackbeard and recruit beast pirates and take elbaf after shanks left instead and maybe become a more calm and reasonable person and giants join his crew like saul blyue dory brogy and someone new or loki or atleast bege and sanji and franky upgrades and vinsmoke family power ups from caesar queen and judge or wano army joins him oden joined whitebeaed first and luffy will probs get a nightmare form of gear 5 that's like bounce man and gear 3 or katakuri then a new form that's more gear 2 and snake man or maybe use enel like moves then a final 3 forms 1 will be gear 6 in 2 forms then a final form which he can only use if he gets immortality the ultimate form that uses all his powers and imagination and haki at once
Extract the power of the sun and distribute it among ancient robots like the way it was
The first time I ever saw Gear 4th was in an image of 'Snake Man'. I thought Luffy had Awakened and embraced his "final form".
Monkey D. Luffy -> Luffy the Monkey
(Admittedly, it also gave me Dragon Ball flashbacks.)
Still, I can't say I'm disappointed by Gear 5th. It'll be interesting to see how things develop.
I can see luffy reaching aN uncontrollably state like monster point or the other mindless zoans. That might be what Vega Punk was warning about. If Luffy loses control. That could also be what shocks the world. It should be time for STRAW HAT INFAMY now
I make 0ne Piece videos
Why can I imagine luffy thinking
Luffy:(why don’t I try using different elements instead of just air?)
Luffy: hey Sanji can I borrow a spare lighter?
Sanji: sure
Luffy: thanks *sucks in air and puts lighter in his mouth*
GUM GUM RED INFERNO
(I’m sure you can guess what happens next)
Random thought i know is probably just me overthinking but couldn't luffy have pushed his DF to the absolute limit in WCI? when he was caged he spun his arms around so hard he nearly tore his arms off pushing his stretching to the literal max for the first time ever...then he healed up and fought katakuri not to long after again super pushing his DFs limits. to me the cage scenes over the top nature seemed important for some reason.
Gpod question. I don't think luffy will awaken again. I think luffys growth will continue with haki and unconventional methods to victory.
The classic case of Monkey see, Monkey do!!! 🐒👒
I would like to think that Luffy will manage to go giant anytime but only last so long like chopper after eating the rumble balls. This could have been teased for a long time, like in the filler when the giant girl grew inside Luffy that one time.
I make 0ne Piece videos
The way I see it.. if a fruit hasn’t yet had its _awakening_ , then it’s dormant. An awakened fruit is actually the _base_ form.
So what you're saying is luffys been cooking this entire time? Move out the way Sanji 😂
what if luffy ate a rumble ball on Drum island?
Theory: luffy’s body was caught up but the FRUIT wasn’t ready because it’s the SUN god nika fruit and the moon was out, not the sun
Ok but then how did he use the form at night fighting kaido
@@talon-xq6qh the fruit still had its powers it just didn’t have its FULL power
W glr
10:40 CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER
I don’t think Kidd is gonna be practicing with his awakening anytime soon.
I love the editing in this video so much! Hot take Big mom ...is luffys daughter. Good luck explaining this. Good day
Luffy is going to turn super saiyan
100% agree with the video. For the past few years I have stated this concept. My reasoning was ole Crocodile. Dude was out there draining water from ppl via touch, controlling vast areas of sand, and if I remember turning buildings to sand. Just the draining of water felt to me was a much larger scope than “I turn into sand”
Then there's the theory Crocodile was using his DF to cause the drought, so the second he was defeated the rain fell again
I make One Piece video
@@commonviewer2488 except that we know why the rain happened lol
Crocodile also trained his ability to be reflexive for defense rather than the Logia weakness of ambush or surprise. Not an awakening, but an example of Devil Fruits being rather flexible.
He was as weak to haki or water as any other logia and their own weakness. Katakuri isn’t even a logia and did it 100 times better.
I can't wait to see Luffy show off his gigantification he's learned to Dorry and Broggy. What a scene that'd be!!

@@Scroll62-Mangaso?
@@I_am_box he's commenting on every comment with this. He's advertising his crappy channel on other people's videos. Pretty much no shame
@@ladonmccabe oh. Well in that case it’s probably a bot that doesn’t have shame to feel
Or better yet, when he fulfills his personal promise to Laboon
I feel luffys final ability will be the manipulation of the manga itself. Imagine how cool it would be if luffy punches off of a panel and then 2 panels later his punch hits the opponent out of nowhere
i can definitely see oda pulling sonething like this hahahahaha
Would not make sense as he has toon force not 4th wall break.
@@TheDouble094 shut it nerd
@@TheDouble094 pretty sure with “toon force” you are able to break the 4th wall
@@TheDouble094 that is toon force. Off toons interact with the screen and audience. He doesn't necessarily have to acknowledge us just the panels.
I can definitely see Luffy use a gear 5th version of Bounce man or Snakeman in the future, and man would it look awesome
Gear 5 TANKMAN
Dumbest idea ever
Or Gear 5 Sunman
I make One Piece video
That's literally what I want... Gia Fifusu Bound-Man!
It baffles me that gear fifth isn’t super popular. It’s not only my favorite luffy form, but easily my favorite shounen form of all time! Shounen forms always see the protagonist getting more serious, and raw! But gear fifth really feels like we’re seeing pre time skip luffy but with the power to execute his insane ideas! Its cartoony, it’s iconic, it’s funny AND epic at the same time.
And do I think he can go even higher? I’ve seen some speculation that he can power up in the sun 🌞 and I’d love to see what direction that takes if it turns out to be true!
Let's see the anime community react to Luffy's true Awakening
I mean it's just a new form in line with the themes. it's always been that way so idk why this one is considered different
@@chasinghaze0962 It's his expression and body language, you see every shonen form has that dead serious look with ”I will kill you” vibe, cool fighting style and all
On the other hand Luffy's form always has a smile with goofy ideas of attack. I personally never experienced this so yes I very much like it.
I make 0ne Piece videos
@@Supriyo4048 That's fine and all but I am saying that Oda just did what he was supposed to do with Luffy based on the themes. That's what every author does. You can't ask an author to do goofy style when there is no place for it in the series. Every author does powerups keeping in mind the themes and context. it's nothing unique. It's fine if you like it but saying just because it's "different", it's the best, I don't agree.
I was not born when Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan but when Luffy awakened his devil fruit, I could imagine the hype of Goku turning into a Super saiyan.
I make 0ne Piece videos
I mean took about 300000 episodes but it was hype 💀 sadly we find out death is irrelevant in DB buy y’all get mad at one piece for not killing characters
Honestly its not even close... Super Saiyan was something very different. In an era where the transformation and power up where not expected. Aswell as an amazing trigger.
Meanwhile with Luffy, people have been predicting Gear 5 since the moment we saw Gear 2 😂
Dont get me wrong, it was still hyped, just no where near the original super saiyan transformation.
Seriously doubt it
@@ghostsotelo5191 it makes sense tho dragon ball is in the name
gear 5 gave me the weird thought of his DF not wanting Luffy to die, like how the elder stars said that zoan DF have a will of their own and Luffy's didn't want to lose him, probably way off but it does intrigue me
I make 0ne Piece videos
I can see it as also a reason why he awakened, the gorosei says that the fruits have their own will (not sure if it's exclusive for zoans only). The awakened zoans from the empeldown might be artificially awakened, similar to what chopper's rumble did to him, resulting to them having no control over it.
They lose their consciousness because the fruit didn't accepted them and or something
@@Amor_24 I thought it was more the will of zoan overpowered their own will and took control of their bodies. Maybe instead of luffys extreme willpower allowing him to finally transform it was the opposite - being unconscious finally 'knocked out' his willpower, allowing Nika to take control
It could just be the durability trait of zoans, you can't just easily Kill them, they are at their most dangerous when close to death or KO, and I suspect luffs first conquerors KO by kaido made him stronger then his actual training in udon, just a thought.
I've had this idea for a while but what if Luffy uses his awakening to inadvertently turn the whole red line into a giant rubber band, and using it as an attack similar to how kids will use a rubber band on their hands to prank others. it would be a fun Luffy-style attack that also had huge consequences on the world.
I think the next thing for Luffy's powers will be finding out if Gear 5 is the hybrid or beast form for his fruit. If it is just the hybrid form, which seems most likely based on the design, I'm very excited to see his beast form
Wouldn't normal and the previous gears be the hybrid? He's not Nika but not human when he's just "rubber".
@@Mantosasto not really since Zoans can sometimes give their owners base forms some features that are related to that fruits ability. Like chopper being able to talk in his reindeer form.
I make One Piece video
I guess the way I saw it was that since Luffy's fruit is a hito hito no mi, he didn't get new transformations but rather merges with them. Basically, he has only one form and that's his hybrid form, which he is permanently in.
That's like debating whether Lucci's awakened form is his hybrid form. Zoan awakenings grant a new, stronger, separate 4th form. That's what G5 is. Luffy doesn't have a full beast or hybrid form. He's a human who ate the human-human fruit model Nika, so more human-ness would've just been redundant. It isn't like the human-human fruit model Buddha or Onyudo where they both look significantly different than normal humans.
Well, maybe. We don't know what Nika actually looked like.
I think Red Hawk is another step in the Awakening staircase, I mean, fire, sun god? It kinda tracks
i truly believe he had to die to awaken , only in death did he realise he could even control his hart as rubber
I believe that when we see Enel again, he will have awakened his DF. The things he was doing in Sky Island with his DF were very impressive. He was the first person we saw to infuse Haki with his DF
how does this relate to this video
@@tylerhanks. the video talks about awakening fruits and how they can be enhanced with haki, were you just not paying attention?
About Chopper, his devil fruit is literally the Human-Human fruit. Perhaps this is why as time goes on, he is looking less like a reindeer and more human-like
i like to think that monster point is because giants are technically a race of humans.
I thought luffy had acquired all of his G4 forms in the 2 year time skip
He just used each form based on his opponent
Gear 5th has been my favorite transformation not only in OP, but Shounen Manga in general. The fact that he's had a vast imagination ever since the beginning of the series, and now his powers has awakened to where he can *LITERALLY* bring his imagination to life at simple thoughts. Oda's having so much fun that he doesn't have to worry about some super serious powerup-But he can literally draw Luffy doing whatever and it works 😭😭 If he ever shows his Giant Form to Dorry and Broggy, it'll be the highlight of my life
Well, I think a strange thing about the new information on Luffy and his fruit is that he’s a zoan right? Shouldn’t he have 3 forms. If gear 5th is either his full Nika or half Nika half human form, then isn’t there another transformation? Usually, the half beast form is the strongest, but I feel like gear 5th is the half transformation. I think the full Nika version is going to be the final “awakening”
Gear 4th has three forms, there may be more for 5th
I make 0ne Piece videos
I mean, chopper has 7 forms tho
Since Luffy has a Hito Hito no Mi (human human fruit) no number of forms matters since any variant of human added on top of his base (which is human) would still just be straight up human. It's the very same logic as no matter the times you multiply zero it's still zero's that's added.
@@tobiaswedin- Luffy rubber body is his hybrid mode and G5th is his full beast mode.
Luffys next step will be subscribing to the grandlinereview to receive injections of glorious one piece content in his youtube feed.
I honestly really like your take. Up until now I thought of Gear 5 as Luffys awakening but it makes a lot of sense that there is no lightswitchlike awakening. Especially considering the built up. Love your injections man, thx Liam
Another thing that gear 5 has is that it is also established that the awakening of fruits not only comes with training or understanding the fruit, but it is also done in rare and stressful cases
Luffy literally had to die, kaido is a guy who has gone through wars, an experienced soldier and fighter, he swore that Luffy was dead, that is, he really was, luffy was really dead and only at that moment after being beaten and taken away up to the limits to unlock it fulfilling everything that had been said
I love this explanation! Also, I got my Dogflamingo shirt yesterday~ Having watched him on your channel I’ve become pretty attached~ I’m too shy to @ you and take a pic though lol
What if in line with the whole copying attacks, the next step for luff is that his imagination allows him to freely imitate other devil fruit users.
My theory is that Nika had a choice once Luffy died. It could have gone back into the world as a fruit or awaken and revive Luffy. The journey that Luffy went on to that point convinced it to awaken.
Who else wishes GLR videos were a few minutes longer?🥹😬
I think a future awakening could involve him gaining some Logia-like ability. Considering his fruit was considered a Paramecia all this time to instead be a Zoan yet still has kept the rubber Paramecia aspect now. This means his fruit might be more than just a Zoan fruit. And also remember his Red Hawk. Logic has been its just air friction igniting his hand. But considering he does it UNDERWATER against Hody Jones leads to the thought that maybe his imagination led him to borrow a Logia ability, which might be a hint to him awakening further to gain Logia abilities to complement his imagination.
I always hate when Grandline says that Chopper "Mastered" his DF. He hasn't. He is a doctor and has an Understanding of how his DF works, in the same way that Caesar and Vegapunk understand DFs.
However for him to actually Master his DF, he will have to be able to go into his awakening without external help. Aswell as not have the drawbacks that the Rumble Ball currently causes.
Big difference between Understand and Mastering.
I do think there is a solid line between awakened and non awakened fruit powers.
For Zoans it's when your mind and body catch up with the will of the fruit, if your will is strong enough to persist you awaken and keep your mind, but if the fruit's will is stronger you awaken but lose your mind. It's a clear improvement to the physical strength of the zoan transformations. It's also an awakening of the Paramecia/Logia abilities some mythical Zoans have.
Paramecia fruits awaken when their powers begin to affect things other than themselves. We see this with Doffy and Katakuri transforming the environment into strings/mochi and with law and kidd they apply their magnetic poles/rooms to objects. If we include Luffy, who has paramecia powers due to being a mythical Zoan, he can turn the environment into rubber.
We don't know how logias work but it would probably be similar to paramecias.
The point is, there are no partial awakenings. You can get close to it, and continue to grow after it, but the actual line of being awakened is a hard, well defined line.
i think logia awakenings might also pull somewhat from the same principles as zoan awakening, like that giant tree form green bull takes and the giant electric giant form enel takes feel like awakening adjacent at the very least
though i'm also willing to bet that whatever happened on punk hazard between akainu and aokiji was the result of awakening
I don't think there is going to be a next step. He made it clear when he got Gear 5 that it was the peak of his abilities. I think his next (and probably last) power up will be Haki related. In the last arcs, he learned how to use Armament and Observation Haki to their fullest, I whink the next big step will be using his CoC Haki to the fullest. I predict it's either going to be drawing strength from or to his allies.
but he already kind of did explore advanced conqueror's haki. He learned how to imbue his attacks with it
Along with the fact that he already has advanced his CoC haki by infusing it into his attacks, he is a shonen protagonist. I suspect there is more he will learn to do with his haki, but there is no way he would peak right before the final boss of the series gets introduced. There HAS to be something more that will allow him to liberate the whole world from the world government.
Honestly though maybe his next adancements won't be with his devil fruit or his haki, but with his name. Something unique ability to those with D in their name and then maybe some way of combining that with all his other abilities.
In regards to Snake Man and Tank Man, I know there was an anime flashback showing Luffy and Rayleigh training with Bounce Man and how Rayleigh said its good for power but not for speed
And Tank Man was stated to be a variation when it appeared in the fight with Cracker
I want to add one detail hinting about awakening in the doflamingo fight: when luffy used the culverin, dofla mentioned it looked like there was no limit to his stretching. The thing looked kind of suspect to me at the time, like he was actually hinting that the move was a step toward awakening, and it sits rather fine with the theory in this video, especially considering that culverin is a very prominent move in the "next step" (snakeman). Also, if you say this is a stretch, you're also forced to say that the pun is totally intended.
Kaido says awakening happens when your body catches up to your mind and spirt
In the manga, Luffy has already shown his mastery of Gear 5th on Egg Head. We see him get angry and burst into flames, him creating a physical pair of goggles, and overall how he can slip into the form without much effort.
Luffy has been using his Nika powers the whole series in more subtle ways too. Like when he eats or sleeps to full recovery. These were always shocking to everyone around him, but we rolled as just comedy. Or drinking milk to fix his bones. These moments were all subtle hints I think
Or how Garp and Nami could hurt him without Haki. He BELIEVES they are strong and will hurt him so they do.
@Mute SpeakerJack that's kinda how cool of a fruit concept he made though. Even if it was recent, it ties so much together that you have to admit, it was an interesting way to do so
I think gear 5 fully awakened through actual death.
But yes he needed to crawl those stairs to get to that stage anyway
I think Luffys next step is gaining control over the gear 5th transformation. It was stated that zoan users can lose their minds and the will of the fruit taker over during awakening resulting in the impel down jailer beasts. I can’t recall if it was animal based zoans exclusively but I feel Luffys gear 5th’s uncontrolled laughter and unpredictable attacks are based on his fruit causing him to lose his own mind. If he can gain control that’s when we will see hear 5th be his “serious” mode
I think the next step is maybe understanding his power and developing more techniques
I think that his next step could be somehow connected to the voice of all things. It could be something similar to Bello Betty's devil fruit power.

I’m pretty sure Kaku still rivals Luffy in devil fruit creativity with how he was able to use his giraffe fruit. And that was his first day eating it! Imagine how many uses he has uncovered now 🤔
Yeah dude did the neck thing that Queen needed cyborg enhancements to do
I think you're right that "awakening" doesn't mean there's the next step and then you hit the sealing. Apart from the imagination, I would add that it is also based on how they understand their abilities. I'm not sure if anyone here has read manga/manhwa(?) called "Release That Witch". It's not an all time great story, but in there a witch's ability was never limited to one "awakening", since based on their understanding of their own ability was theoretically limitless, it could manifest and grow in many different ways,. I feel that DF would function in the same capacity.
I literally just reread all of one piece in fiveish months. Oda has most definitely been drip feeding is these hints. You can see Luffys unconscious (as in he doesn’t know he’s using it not like he’s asleep) use and development of his haki all the way back in syrup village and possibly earlier. Plus you have nika form foreshadowing all over the place with Luffy laugh at buggy’s attempt to execute him in rouge town and the party in Skypiea. I’d love to see you do a deep dive video on this.
Oda made that island elephant walk all the way and declare that joyboy has returned.
That definitely means that something extraordinary and final is unlocked.
Luffy may make more attacks but gear 5 is final.
Honestly im seriously hoping for a reverse gear.😅

@@Scroll62-Manga dude... just stop, please. you're doing yourself no favors
@@Jinx_Skeel it’s sad because his videos aren’t even that bad
luffy takes a bunch of damage, shifts into reverse gear and it just undoes all the damage.
none of what you said means that this gear is final bud💀thats just your lack of imagination mixed in with a bit of hate taking over you
Paramecium awakening is imposing or manifesting the properties of your fruit onto the world around you. Doffy explained this.
That’s how I knew what Luffy’s would look like.
If you look at the 2nd or 3rd Wano arc title video, you will see the water and earth rising and stretching in the area around him.
Luffy awakening
One Piece shows a new awakening of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, confirming that Luffy's version of this rare and powerful ability is absolutely unique. Kaku's awakened form shares an important future with the one shown by his CP0 companion, Lucci, highlighting how different Luffy's Gear Fifth appearance is.

I like the theory that the gears Luffy use are like the gears of a car. Since a car got 1 to 5 and a reverse gear, I think Luffy's next powerup will be a "reverse" power, maybe making things go back their original state or even blocking all his DF powers, going fulll haki or making him able to swin again.
I agree with swimming.
After we learn about gear 5 i started looking at gear 4 as the hybrid forms of nika
Putting limits on awakening is like putting limits on imagination.
