For those unaware (cause ive seen a total of 0 reactors catch it) the Chumbawumba line is actually pretty clever. Chumbawumba was a british band most well know for the song Tubthumping whereas the main chourus is "I get knocked down, but i get up again, aint nothig gonna keep me down". This ties in to "Get back up like its Chumbawumba" in ties to Tubthumping, but also into Slapstick style cartoon comedy of getting slapped tf around but still getting back up
The "You're here to listen to me" bit was amazing. I sure am, what a song. Also I'm here on a Luffy track reaction so gotta go with the Gear 5 transformation.
Bouncing Betty is also a type of grenade from the era of the world wars that bounces up before exploding. Probably a reference to that sense Gear 5 is just The Toon force in an anime
Gear 5 all day every day!! But tbh when it comes to G5 vs UI Ive never seen someone talk abt how they’re two sides of the same white-haired coin. Goku’s perfect calmness at his peak against Luffy’s hysterical joy, one the absence of emotion one the embracement. That to me is a much greater discussion, despite by biases
In my opinion Gear 5 is the best transformation out of any manga/anime aside from Super Saiyan. I love how Gear 5 is only as strong as it's users' imagination and is literally the embodiment freedom of which is the perfect final transformation for Luffy who had been showing off his imaginative ways to use the Gomu Gomu no mi since he was first introduced. So for me at least, without a doubt, UI is much worse than Gear 5
Love the rap and love your reaction, I like gear 5 for it's creativity but if we are talking about hype, Ultra Instinct's hype was unreal! People lost their marbles when the 2 episode special aired. Some people closed their shops early just to watch those episodes.
ULTRA NSTINCT IS STILL FUKING AWESOME ,the drip Goku got and how he got it , and just after he got it ,THE sheer disrespect he shown to Jiren IS ALWAYS THE BEST .
9:52 Dragonball fans gonna be mad about this one? Don't worry they can't even read or comprehend words. They only understand muscles, yelling and hair dye.
A week ago, I probably would've said Ultra Instinct but, these tracks man.. They just have this power within them. This goofy ah aura is getting to me dude.
3:14 i just googled it its a bar about belo betty who has a devil fruit that lets her hype people up making them stronger. Only if i kept watching for 5 more seconds 😭
Belo Betty with the pump pump fruit I think for the first couple of bars Edit: never mind, it was mentioned by twitch chat Edit 2: ~~Ultra instinct obviously~~ (joking light-hearted) nah but for real it’s gear 5. It’s so goofy, I love it.
I think both are really cool, but I'm gonna say Gear 5 primarily since that's something totally unique to Luffy... and feels like a proper transformation. A completely different state of being. I can't say that for Ultra Instinct. I'd compare UI to the Black Flash in JJK more, since both are really strong techniques that everyone CAN access but few actually do. That aside... nah, this right here is PEAK. DPS and Rustage at their current level and allowing themselves to be goofy af AND hard as hell on a track like this is an absolute treat for us listeners. Gonna have this one on repeat for a while.
For me its UI just because the pure excitement i felt when he came back then started fight head to head with jiren was absolutely insane then when he kept using it little by little till he finally hit mui absolutely amazing. Dont get me wrong. G5 had me feeling the same things, but personally, UI 💯 🔥
i always tend to see more reactors complaining about people complaining about stopping the vid than i do commenters actually complaining about it.. but i guess that just means them saying it is working ig lol
Ultra Instinct had the kind of hype for how unexpected it was, we had never seen anything like that in dragon ball before. Gear 5 was also unexpected in a way but when it got revealed everyone immediately wanted to see it animated. The Dragon Ball Super anime got to these events first so there wasn't anything to look forward to which is why I think people were so hyped when they showed it off while One Piece showed it off in the manga and it took a good few months I believe before we got these episodes so we had something to look forward to in that case. As to which is more hype probably Gear 5 for how stupid it is, it's essentially a gag that was pulled off perfectly while Ultra Instinct had potential and then they kinda ruined it later on.
The funniest thing with this song is that it is titled "Liberation". The word liberation is not said a single time in the song. As for which transformation is better, Gear 5 beats out UI hands down, but I would give more credit to the original Super Saiyan transformation by Goku against Frieza. The original super saiyan form was built up in the lore of the DBZ world and that first transform of Goku to beat Frieza was iconic, they just buried it with further transformations. Similarly, Gear 5/Joy Boy was built up in the lore of the One Piece world and the transformation was a fruition of that. The thing is, Gear 5 beats the original Super Saiyan because it is happening at the final arc of One Piece, letting it not be buried by further transformations like Super Saiyan was.
Gear 5 is definitely a more interesting and creative transformation. UI is huge for the series, and Goku's scenes were fire and iconic, but something about how unique Gear 5 is will etch it in my mind forever. Love the reaction to the "Bo-yo-yoing!" Bar. I was looking for that when I clicked XD!
Gear 5 embodies not just Luffy's character but his goal. Freedom. Gear 5 is literally Luffy as he wants to be, as he sort of thinks the world should be. UI is just a hype power up, nothing wrong with that. Just thats kinda all it is But the purpose and meaning behind gear 5 on top of the hype make it the best transformation in anime
i know it’s a joke but unironically Gear 5 is peak. I remember DBS fans were super salty when gear 5 dropped in the anime, how people overhyped it for saying it was a historical moment, but as someone who doesn’t even _like_ Gear 5, i know it was some kinda milestone just for the animation alone and how it was taking the most popular piece of of modern eastern animation and paying homage to the entire history of western animation. “Goku got his 7th super form and now he’s a different color” absolutely cannot compare. Also i know the algorithm’s a bitch but this so g really should have been called Toon Boss
"and i mean this. genuinely comment bellow which transformation you think is better. gear 5 or ultra instinct" as for answer to that question, gear 5 is obviously superior to everything. Also, luffy achieves toon power by going gear 5 so he can easily defeat goku with it :P
Ultra instinct had an incredible OST and Goku absolutely decimating Jiren was hella sick, but I have to say, gear 5 tops it off. Dragon ball has had too many transformations and Ultra instinct just does not feel as significant. In comparison, the whole drums of liberation, Luffy turning into a whole psycho cartoon and effortlessly beating up Kaido was just incredible. Also the transformation kinda symbolizes Luffy's ideals and some of the undertones of the entire show itself. Gear 5 feels like everything in one piece led up to that while Ultra instinct just feels like a transformation added for the sake of the plot. There's no comparing the two, Gear 5 easily tops it off.
I think Gear 5 is better than Ultra instinct just for the sheer diversity of abilities. All Ultra instinct does is give the user faster movement and a higher level of raw power. But Gear 5 can be used to do literally anything so long as Luffy finds humor in it
Dragonball fan here, like Hardcore, and when I heard that line I wasnt even mad, DPS can do no wrong and that shit was fire so yeah, I sing along even though it's against my creed lol. Ultra Instinct... but Gear 5 rewrites reality so hard to say UI would beat it. However as I mentioned: DB Fan so gotta stick with my fandom.
gear 5 is narratively better but for ultra instinct you HAD to be there. When Ultra Instinct happened the fight between goku and jiren was literally being advertised like a mma fight in south america lmao. I have never seen the anime community that engrossed behind a singular event in a show in the last decade
I've never seen one piece, and i've gotta say gear 5. Ultra instinct separates the mind from the body and lets it act on muscle memory without conscious thought and that's like... boring? What was he doing up until that point, thinking 600 punches ahead in the span of a second and updating those calculations as the enemy reacts? My guy could get lost on snake way, no shot.
Big DragonBall fan. Luffies has not been defined with a limit in that form yet. If it is without a time limit or energy consumption then Luffy, otherwise too early to tell for me
My hot take of the day: Ultra Ego isn't that bad, and I actually like it more than Ultra Instinct (and the nostalgia bait that is Beast Gohan). Gear 5 is still better though, and I'm saying that as a lifelong fan of Dragonball who doesnt watch or read One Piece.
Bruh the sudden rant about "YOU'RE WATCHING SHWABADOS" sent me into a laughing fit that was great.
Same here. That whole minirant was hilarious.
Had me cackling for a good bit. I needed a good laugh like that.
Bruh same
Facts, I -am- not here to hear music. I -am- here to hear Shwab
"YOU'RE ON SHWABADOS"
"YOU'RE NOT HERE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC, YOU'RE HERE TO LISTEN TO ME"
😂😭
For those unaware (cause ive seen a total of 0 reactors catch it) the Chumbawumba line is actually pretty clever. Chumbawumba was a british band most well know for the song Tubthumping whereas the main chourus is "I get knocked down, but i get up again, aint nothig gonna keep me down".

Shwab aint ready for that bo yo yoing
🤨
@@tigereK i said what i said
Ultra Instinct was introduced in an amazing way. But Gear 5 is just so mind blowing when it comes to abilities.
it's belo betty from the revolutionary army, her fruit pumps people up like she's a hype man
Bouncing Betty is also a type of grenade from the era of the world wars that bounces up before exploding. Probably a reference to that sense Gear 5 is just The Toon force in an anime
I thought it was Betty from Kung Pow if I'm being honest...
Betty Boop the really old cartoon.
With the context of the twitch reaction meta conversation happening recently, the “you’re here to listen to me” tangent hits different.
Drums of liberation 🥁
I think Rustage out did DPS here, probably my favorite Rustage verse in months.
Gear 5 all day every day!! But tbh when it comes to G5 vs UI Ive never seen someone talk abt how they’re two sides of the same white-haired coin. Goku’s perfect calmness at his peak against Luffy’s hysterical joy, one the absence of emotion one the embracement. That to me is a much greater discussion, despite by biases
The accent kicked in at 2:49 wtih that "You're on SwabadOOOOOS"
In my opinion Gear 5 is the best transformation out of any manga/anime aside from Super Saiyan. I love how Gear 5 is only as strong as it's users' imagination and is literally the embodiment freedom of which is the perfect final transformation for Luffy who had been showing off his imaginative ways to use the Gomu Gomu no mi since he was first introduced. So for me at least, without a doubt, UI is much worse than Gear 5
why did bro pull out the paragraph we know Gear 5's better tf
lol nah
Idk man the Hollofication transformation was pretty cool as well as the Final Getsuga Tensho transformation
Love the rap and love your reaction,
I like gear 5 for it's creativity but if we are talking about hype, Ultra Instinct's hype was unreal! People lost their marbles when the 2 episode special aired. Some people closed their shops early just to watch those episodes.
Gear 5, it recontextulized 20 years of manga.
Ultra instinct is super clean, but it could look better on someone else, but Luffy really makes Gear 5
ULTRA NSTINCT IS STILL FUKING AWESOME ,the drip Goku got and how he got it , and just after he got it ,THE sheer disrespect he shown to Jiren IS ALWAYS THE BEST .
Gear 5th had so much meaning within it along with the battle.
Chambawaumba has the song that goes “I get knocked down but I get up again cause your never gonna keep me down”
Ultra Instinct is hella sick, especially in the manga, but Gear 5 is so hilarious and just brings so much joy (lmao), I think I do like it more.
0:18 diggz and eddie rath were there when the super saiyan raps were the hype
9:52 Dragonball fans gonna be mad about this one? Don't worry they can't even read or comprehend words. They only understand muscles, yelling and hair dye.
A week ago, I probably would've said Ultra Instinct but, these tracks man..
They just have this power within them. This goofy ah aura is getting to me dude.
The goof will take over you. You will become goof. EMBRACE IT.
Both transformations go crazy. When the hair go white, the transformation never slight.
Ultra instinct
Literally heard the sing and could not wait for you reaction !!
3:14 i just googled it its a bar about belo betty who has a devil fruit that lets her hype people up making them stronger. Only if i kept watching for 5 more seconds 😭
The Sword Sword, Spark, Steel Grind line is actually dope but seemingly never gets brought up...
Yooooo swabs ain't ready for this
"Why is there furry in the description?"
Oh. Welcome to Shwabadi. You sweet summer child.
Gear 5 is peak. Both are comparable but I personally feel that Gear 5 is the longest awaited power in anime history.
I honestly love DB and everything my man's said is straight facts. Gear 5 all the mf wayyyyyy
Belo Betty with the pump pump fruit I think for the first couple of bars
Edit: never mind, it was mentioned by twitch chat
Edit 2: ~~Ultra instinct obviously~~ (joking light-hearted) nah but for real it’s gear 5. It’s so goofy, I love it.
Ultra Instinct doesn't go boiyoyoing
GEAR 5

Dont get me wrong. G5 had me feeling the same things, but personally, UI 💯 🔥
Comparing them isn't really fair. The tone and context of the transformations is too different. They're both GOATed for their time.
Gear 5 for sure. Was way more fun and felt more deserved
Im a dragonball fan but god damn I love gear 5 lol the middle finger line got me laughing lol
Shwabadi: "listen to a song all the way through to appreciate it"
Me: *pauses a dozen times cause I can't get through bo-yo-yoing without laughing*
Gear 5
Gear 5 🔛🔝🗣️
6:05 gonna save that for when I need a laugh
I can't even imagine being mad at a reactor for actually reacting... especially when they are a rapper catching bars
Gear 5 my guy
2:12 🔥
i always tend to see more reactors complaining about people complaining about stopping the vid than i do commenters actually complaining about it.. but i guess that just means them saying it is working ig lol
Ultra Instinct had the kind of hype for how unexpected it was, we had never seen anything like that in dragon ball before.

Haven’t seen either, but from what I’ve gathered being in the community… it’s probably heat 5
Gear5 bc thus form makes me think of times where i had natural highs 😂
Gear 5, not even close!
Gear 5 is definitely a more interesting and creative transformation. UI is huge for the series, and Goku's scenes were fire and iconic, but something about how unique Gear 5 is will etch it in my mind forever.
Love the reaction to the "Bo-yo-yoing!" Bar. I was looking for that when I clicked XD!
Gear 5.
Gear 5 embodies not just Luffy's character but his goal. Freedom. Gear 5 is literally Luffy as he wants to be, as he sort of thinks the world should be.
UI is just a hype power up, nothing wrong with that. Just thats kinda all it is
But the purpose and meaning behind gear 5 on top of the hype make it the best transformation in anime
GEAR 5 ALL THE WAY
Shwabadi having a full rorschach moment " you're not hear to listen to music you're heare to listen to me"
Gear 5 is better. Tons more build up to it
I think the original Super Saiyan transformation sits at a peak that can't be reached. But Gear 5 stomps Ultra Instinct no def.
g 5 baby!!
i know it’s a joke but unironically Gear 5 is peak. I remember DBS fans were super salty when gear 5 dropped in the anime, how people overhyped it for saying it was a historical moment, but as someone who doesn’t even _like_ Gear 5, i know it was some kinda milestone just for the animation alone and how it was taking the most popular piece of of modern eastern animation and paying homage to the entire history of western animation. “Goku got his 7th super form and now he’s a different color” absolutely cannot compare.
Also i know the algorithm’s a bitch but this so g really should have been called Toon Boss
Bo-Yo-Yoing !!
gotta be Gear 5
Ultra Instinct without a second thought! Theme Song alone is enough to exceed Gear 5 presence...
Ah damn, I hate to say it but Ultra Instinct is my preference.
Gear 5 or Ultra Instinct..?
If I speak I'm in big trouble, and I don't want to be in big trouble..
"and i mean this. genuinely comment bellow which transformation you think is better. gear 5 or ultra instinct"
as for answer to that question, gear 5 is obviously superior to everything. Also, luffy achieves toon power by going gear 5 so he can easily defeat goku with it :P
Gear 5 the best transformation imo and i made it to the end
MUI
Gear 5 on top

Ultra Instinct wishes it had the narrative weight of gear 5
obviously gear 5 is the GOAT
Gear 5 my dude.
Where did the lyrics go? DPS devoured them.
Ultra Instinct is a bit flat, but that Gear 5 do be bouncing different.. XD

SSJ 4 FTW. Reason is because Goku achieved transcendence on his own. No Gods. No Angels. No BS. Stay mad.
Boyoyoing
Rustage was very funny. Dps was fun too.
You should react to dps area 51 rap.
Gear5
Gear 5 for pure aesthetic of goofiness
Gear 5 is so much more interesting than Ultra Instinct.

Top 3 is dizzyeight DPS and 954 mari.Rustage #4 tho
