From some reddit guy : it's speculated that a DF can only be awakened if the user's intention match with the intended purpose of fruit, Luffy is a guy who's willing to sacrifices himself for the sake of other people, so when Kaido killed him his fruit attained the awakening stage.
The funny thing about this scene is, here in germany "muscle" is called "Muskel" but is often nicknamed "mucki" / "muckis". So I have a feeling oda was borrowing some words here. He often mix in differen languages. Even in german the term "muckis" is usually used in a funny / not so serious context. Usually when complimenting someone or when someone is showing off. Though it would be interesting to know what Oda actually thought of or where he got it from. Muscle in japanese doesn't seem to sound anything like that. At least all variants that google translate can come up with.
@@Bunny99s muki muki is the onomatopeia sound for muscles in japanese . Usually used when someone is very muscular . Japan uses them a lot , some devil fruits in One Piece are named like the that , for instance Whitebeard fruit is the gura gura wich is the onomatopeia for something that is wobbling or shaking .
I loved this cartoon animation in this episode, it was something new that matched luffy. At the same time i hope they go back to the one before so we can literally see what’s going on.
It's mindblowing that back in Skypiea during Noland flashback, Calgara's village was said to worship the Sun God! And when Straw Hats were dancing with the wolves, silhouette of Luffy looked exactly like that of Sun God Nika. Oda said few years ago that Luffy dancing with wolves in Skypiea was his favourite scene in OP & it hinted at Nika. CRAZY foreshadowing! This makes Skypiea even better retrospectively! Sun God was also mentioned during Big Mom's flashback in Elbaf! Peak!
@@pentheclicketythere's a pretty compelling theory that Long Ring Long Land is connected to Joyboy. It would explain why everything is so... Long. Their shape was changed by the previous user of the Nika fruit. I also am a fan of the idea that when Luffy and Shanks fight, it'll be in the form of a Davy Back fight.
My only minor issue with the Nika reveal is that I think Oda should've hinted the name a bit earlier. The "Sun God" tease in Big Mom's flashback was a good one, but I think Wano is the first time we've ever heard the word Nika. Maybe a scene during Hancock's flashback or Fisher Tiger's where we could've heard the name Nika (but not with any context, of course. Not that early)
@@pentheclicketyin that arc we got to see afro luffy and Davy back fight which can be a major important concept in the future story. And also it has a great comic value, I don't understand the complaints. But that is just me, it my opinion. I have unpopular opinions for my favourite arcs too, my favourite arc being impel down along with marineford and skypiea, at first I loved skypiea just for its comic value and the romanticised story of no land and kalgara,and finally the inscription of Gol D Roger on the golden Bell of shamdora.
Oda always said he wanted Luffy's power to be goofy and lighthearted. Nika's power is said to make everyone around him smile. And here we all are, laughing hysterically along with him as he pummels Kaido into submission. Mission success.
It is Luffy's awakening. He just decided to call it "Gear 5". It implied that Joyboy is the previous user of Luffy's devil fruit. It's also possible that Joyboy is a title not someone's name but who know. Well I'm glad you enjoyed the episode😊
Yeah Joyboy was the last person who awakened the Nika fruit….it’s why Zuneisha thought he heard Joyboy when Luffy woke up because the fruit changes the users heartbeat and everything once it’s awakened.
Luffy’s devil fruit is the Human Human Fruit Model: Nika. A Mythical Zoan. Basically the fruit’s ability is limited only to the user’s imagination. The power to turn imagination into reality thus Luffy turning the entire fight around him into a average episode of Tom & Jerry.
No other author could pull this off except Oda. Luffy's imagination has always been his greatest weapon in the way he's manipulated what he thought was only rubber powers, like that time in Cocoyasi's village where he created an attack from his fascination in Genzo's pinwheel. Rubber is only one of his devil fruit's properties, and yet he's gotten this far, I love Luffy!
Theres this theory that because he believes his fruit is a paramecia to him an awakening means being able to fully control rubber and apply it to his surroundings cuz the other paramecia that was awakened that luffy knows is katakuri which does exactly that. And so since his imagination turns into reality this is why he uses the ground as rubber. He can do way more technically if he wanted but his limit right now is the fact that he believes to be an awakened paramecia like katakuri
It hasn't been mentioned anywhere that the fruit's ability is to turn imagination into reality. All we know about it is that the way they fought was literally ridiculous, as in nonsensical. Technically Luffy is still rubber and the awakening lets him affect his surroundings like other awakenings. But the fruit also seems to have other effects like turning cartooney and even affecting other people within the vicinity. We're still in the process of getting more info about the fruit's full ability besides being rubber. And we know there is more to the fruit since the World Government was hell bent on erasing it from history.
@@fgjah It's been mentioned literally everywhere that Luffy's power is to do whatever he wants. The Gorosei quite literally say that the user of the Hito hito no mi model nika can fight in whatever way they fancy. If Luffy was smart enough to know this then he'd be able to do WAY crazier things than what he's shown, but we know what the Gorosei is true because Luffy literally turns his hair into a pair of goggles/glasses ins his rematch against Lucci.
@@1nnovaI dunno, to say “however he fancies” equates to “literally anything” is kind of a stretch. Especially since the Elders did say his body is just made of rubber. The goggles thing is weird but we’ve seen Paramecia turn buildings into string and generate mochi out of thin air, Luffy’s may be something like that.
13:34 It makes me happy to see that Gear 5 made you laugh, as Oda intended heavily. I am so happy to see Luffy stop struggling and now be fighting with a free joyful spirit. NEXT EPISODE WILL BE EVEN BETTER-!!!!!
I am Japanese. It is said that the original story of the character "Joyboy" that appears in One Piece is the character "Joyboy" that appears in "The Mysterious World of Illusions and Imaginations". It is said that Mr. Oda started drawing "One Piece" when he was in the second year of junior high school (1989, 14 years old). This book was released in 1989, and it is presumed that there was an idea to draw a character called Joyboy from the stage when he started drawing One Piece. In addition, hints about Nika are also stretched in the Skypiea arc.
I think it's just an alias/epithet that was given to the last person who awakened the nika fruit because of the effect they had on other people. Zunesha saying joyboy is back is basically because he's associated the drums of liberation with the person they referred to as joyboy, so hearing that again it was as if joyboy is back
That would imply that there has been more joyboys before the joyboy that lived 800 years ago and we don't know that. The theory that joyboy is actually a title is not been confirmed and its not a solid one. Luffy probably inherited joyboy's will and the hito hito no mi model nika [being a zoan] avoided having been found for 800 years until the right moment came to find a new fiting user. Anything else is speculation, time will tell.
@@keepwishin99 I mean it’s possible, blackbeard could get his hand on the time-time fruit and give it to one of his crew. They awaken it allowing them to possibly go back in time. At laugh tale blackbeard and luffy fight and luffy goes back in time or something. Who knows
You laughing is EXACTLY what you're supposed to be during during this transformation. It's Toony and Crazy. Ment to bring JOY. I love watching the reactions and seeing people laugh with Luffy.
Your commentary at the end hits the nail on the head. It was actually Oda that commented how he came up with Gear 5 being cartoony because he wanted to tone down the seriousness that was starting. Especially because after the Wano arc he plans to make things even darker, but Luffy (and all of the Straw Hats) will obviously bring the fun and laughter in :D
Jamiuwu laughing at Luffy going "Muscle Muscle!" gives me so much joy. Fun fact, the anime added that part. In the manga Luffy just sort of gets muscles in the middle of spinning Kaido around, I think. The anime added the bit where he tightens his belt to "puff up" his upper body, which is such a cartoony touch that I LOVE it!
11:47 Yes, this is his fruit's awakening. Luffy calls "Gear" to gis own power levels to differentiate. Up until this point, Luffy has fought using JUST his Mythological Zoan's passive ability of making his body Rubber. Now, he is basically FREE to fight HOWEVER HE WANTS.
It's Luffy, but kinda not. Luffy is technically possesed by sun god Nika, but i guess Oda probably didn't want to throw away a character like Luffy, so it's kinda inbetween. It's Luffy and Nika at the same time.
Can he also turn anyone that he touches or anyone who touch him to rubber? Because it looks like it does when he first grabs Kaido and punch him around 😂
This is just the Gear 5 introduction episode, now we have the climax of Wano in the next few episodes. Director said expect nothing but high quality for Gear 5 eps
When the blast is hitting wall before bouncing it back, it shows like it went through the wall. Not to mention u can't even tell there was a wall until end.
yea the manga did this alot better im not a fan of the recent animation you cant tell whats happening half the time its just flashy bright lights thats it @@qbuw
Jami has such a wonderful and genuine reaction to this and you can see how much she loves Luffy’s growth and how happy she is for him. Glad you managed to catch the episode!! Can’t wait for the next one 🥳🥳🥳
Oda nailed what he was trying to do, make the fans laugh with this transformation. Yes it is cartoonish and looks like for kids but that’s the whole point of it lol. Such a genius lol.
16:00 That split second of Luffy with his eyes bugging out, with the vivid red circles seemed like a direct homage to the Looney Tunes animation style this episode borrows.
Best reaction I've seen on youtube!♥ I really love your laugh and joy, I also did in this way when I watched it. xD And I also suppport LuNa, I love the relationship and dynamics of them.😊
Every reaction I watch, everyone is just laughing the entire 2nd half of the episode. It's insane how meta it is that joyboy brings smiles to everyone's faces in the verse and us as a viewer. It's like we're along for the ride.
Hats off to Mayumi Tanaka, she has been luffy's voice since the Beginning of one piece and she nailed every bit at Luffy's Gear 5 may she continue being luffy's voice until the end ❤🎉
It’s amazing to see how far both Eiichiro oda and toei animation, come with this anime/manga series. From a wannabe pirate floating at the sea in a barrel to fully realized pirate already taking an emperor at the peak of his power. I’m honored to have witnessed it all. Also, I love how Gear 5 is a tribute to looney tunes cartoons.
Personally I prefer Luffy & Hancock. I wouldn't mind if Nami ended up with him though. Regardless of who he ends up with I hope Nami and Sanji never become a thing. I'd rather her end up with some rando than Sanji.
@@SailTheShipwhy do people hate sanji x nami so much? And why tf do people ship nami and luffy? Nami and luffy shows no romantic interest yet somehow you like it better?
@@megat6054 Because Sanji and Nami have a very annoying simp/goddess dynamic. Treating your girl right is one thing. Treating her like a goddess and being willing to let her step all over you is another. Nami needs someone who will call her out on her BS and treat her like an equal, which Sanji won't do because he's her doormat. As for Luffy and Nami, I specifically said I'd rather see him and Boa. What I was saying is that if Luffy and Nami got together I'd at least be fine with it compared to Sanji and Nami. Not that I like the idea. And there isn't any romance between Sanji and Nami either. She has no romantic interest in him. She just occasionally uses him for the doormat that he is.
@@SailTheShipHonestly I also don't mind sanjixnami not happening but I hated how luffy x nami is even a thing. Bcs honestly nami doesn't deserve to be with luffy . Luffy is also doesn't give a f about romance yet somehow people likes the idea of the ship . And you'll probably say somethin like but nami is like luffy loyal companion or somenthin when zoro and sanji are more loyal towards luffy.
Your reaction made me so happy. You can tell you are a true One Piece fan, loving every second of this. And when you said this embodies everything Luffy is I smiled ear to ear. To answer a few of your questions. Luffy is basically Joyboy's reincarnation in present day. Joy boy likely had the same fruit when he was Alive. And the drums of liberation is the sound of Luffy's heart, which Joyboy's heart also made that sound. And yes , One Piece has always been fun before anything else. I'm so happy to see your reaction ❤
out of probably 50 reactions you're the only person that didn't get that he made the ground rubber as well and that in addition to pausing and rewinding stuff 😂😂 unbelievable
When Kaido did blast breath luffy turned the ground into rubber and used it as a shield and deflected it back at Kaido in case any of y’all are wondering
Thank you, people been hating this GEAR 5, But I’m freaking love it I thought I was wrong but you just give me the moment I want, you loved it too, seeing you cry is actually made me cry too, Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
It's not even remotely close to Ultra Instinct other than the white hair. Honestly Ultra Instinct has silver hair so it's not even similar in terms of design
And hearing that line, "make people smile," or in the manga it was, "bringing smiles to faces far and wide." When you back through the story, you realize he had been doing this the whole time. Not just when he saved the day, but little things, like his interactions with the women on Amazon Lily. How by the beginning they were closed off, hated men, and wanted nothing but to see him dead, turning into them all loving him and not wanting him to leave. Even bringing a smile to Boa's face, who hadn't genuinely been that happy in god knows how long
the transformation and episode did exactly what they needed to do, cause i laughed and smiled the whole episode. nika breaking the fourth wall and even bringing smiles to the viewers faces. ya gotta love it.
That was so funny and epic! This was the episode that I laughed so much that my lungs are getting hurt! I was so surprised when I heard the true name of the gomu gomu fruit and I become the Enel's face, but the fight was so funny that the attacks were inspired by the classic cartoons like Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry. Kaido's shocked face was the scene that I laughed so much. Also Hiyori was incredible. She was right about it. Even she was hungry and living in the poverty from twenty years, she proudly keep her surname Kouzuki and Orochi was truly a insolent and pathetic scum who doesn't deserved to be entitled as Shogun. Like in the previous episode, Nami has made Luffy to awaken his devil fruit and make the drums of liberation. Thanks to her, Luffy is alive!
Nice shipping Luffy and Nami is the only right option. 💪 Now that we're on the final saga Oda is making it more and more obvious. At least in the manga. Also, I don't wanna say anything regarding Luffy fruit awakening, just know that we'll have it explained later on where the theory about Nami being the catalyst for his awakening has more merit. It's a very popular theory right now for Luffy's awakening.
Oda's original dream when writing OP was to make people smile. He had Gear 5 planned for a long time. And now everyone can't help but smile and laugh along with Luffy. His VA, Mayumi Tanaka, did an amazing job in this episode, giving Luffy such a contagious laughter. It's crazy that we just watched the realization of Oda's dream. Thanks Oda!
I'm glad you enjoy this episode Jami, especially the "muscle muscle" part:). For me this episode really does make me happy as a manga reader. I've been waiting for gear 5 to be animated and it is worth to wait!! There are some people who don't like this episode because maybe they expect gear 5 to be something epic and vicious, but in fact it's not hahaha. Because funny fights full of laughter will continue to go hand in hand with gear 5.
I was here. Lmao; as a one piece fan of a few years this is epic. First real super hype episode that I’ve been able to watch in real time. Love this episode so much I was laughing like an idiot.

@@authorias2532 Oh wait for the next ep, you won't be disappointed 😂
@@authorias2532 ye Kaido was rubber in that moment he wouldn't be that jiggly then
5:47 nope, Sanji is the first one who felt Luffy is alive because he have the best observation haki down there. They showed him first intentionally :)
This is just the Gear 5 introduction episode, now we have the climax of Wano in the next few episodes. Director said expect nothing but high quality for Gear 5 eps
You have NO IDEA how long us Manga readers have been waiting for you all to experience this!
Over a year and it was well worth the wait.😂
Luffy picking up the ground to backfire kaidos blast breath was hilarious
there’s so much happening in that scene. if i hadn't read the manga, i wouldn't know what luffy is doing after he puts his arm on the ground
When the blast is hitting wall before bouncing it back, it shows like it went through the wall. Not to mention u can't even tell there was a wall until end.
yea the manga did this alot better im not a fan of the recent animation you cant tell whats happening half the time its just flashy bright lights thats it @@qbuw
@@MantisM8 i actually liked the animation, it’s just the thing... what’s it’s called.. pacing??? i don’t know the term lol
It's the moon walk style he did while holding the group was the bomb lol
Seeing odas childhood dream animated is a huge inspiration to everyone that anything is possible, just like luffys power!❤
The best gear 5 reaction exactly what Oda imagined our reactions to be
Jami has such a wonderful and genuine reaction to this and you can see how much she loves Luffy’s growth and how happy she is for him. Glad you managed to catch the episode!! Can’t wait for the next one 🥳🥳🥳
This transformation is CRAZYY!!!
Actually the effect of Luffy laughing has been called that his heart sound is very funny
His ridiculous strength made him even stronger
I love how she thought that joy boy was possessing Luffy 😂
@@RaziExI subscribed to the ‘Luffy’s awakening is resin’ theory .. it was so solid 😂
@@RaziExtbf Luffy gear 5 looks like Hanuman
@@haseoxv9508well he has monkey in his name plus his biggest attack's name is bajrang gun
She is not alone with this theory
Oda nailed what he was trying to do, make the fans laugh with this transformation. Yes it is cartoonish and looks like for kids but that’s the whole point of it lol. Such a genius lol.
That was great, What pisses me off is people hating on it for no fckin reason
16:00 That split second of Luffy with his eyes bugging out, with the vivid red circles seemed like a direct homage to the Looney Tunes animation style this episode borrows.
Best reaction I've seen on youtube!♥ I really love your laugh and joy, I also did in this way when I watched it. xD And I also suppport LuNa, I love the relationship and dynamics of them.😊
Finally, the reaction I was waiting for the most😂
Every reaction I watch, everyone is just laughing the entire 2nd half of the episode. It's insane how meta it is that joyboy brings smiles to everyone's faces in the verse and us as a viewer. It's like we're along for the ride.
OMG YES! I said to myself, “I wonder how Jami would react to Gear 5 on her videos” and you did.😎🎉
6:01 "JOYBOY, please save from jami's one piece theories"
14:06 Im glad you enjoyed this part too, this was my favorite part lol
All I can say is all the audience laughed when they watched the fight and thats what make Gear 5th and OP special❤
That's how Joyboy should be, just makes people laugh and smile all the time😁
The funniest part of Luffy saying, "muscle muscle" is that he's actually saying it in English! 😂😂😂
He is speaking German! Thank me later mucki mucki
@@beatecordes6693 its actually japanese muki muki means muscles or buff verh similiar to german tho
Such an amazing,funny and enjoyable episode this was😭🙏
Hats off to Mayumi Tanaka, she has been luffy's voice since the Beginning of one piece and she nailed every bit at Luffy's Gear 5 may she continue being luffy's voice until the end ❤🎉
It’s amazing to see how far both Eiichiro oda and toei animation, come with this anime/manga series. From a wannabe pirate floating at the sea in a barrel to fully realized pirate already taking an emperor at the peak of his power. I’m honored to have witnessed it all.
Also, I love how Gear 5 is a tribute to looney tunes cartoons.
Luffy really is bringing joy to everyone’s face
I love how she couldn’t stop laughing, I think this is what Oda wanted when he created gear 5
Joy boy made me smile with all my heart throughout his fight 😄😆
The reveal the gum gum fruit is actually a mythical zoan was such a great twist that took 20 years in the making!
That's joyboy to you, he gives smile and laughter to the readers and watchers
I´m so happy to see Jami just vibing, laughing, and loving the scenes... I´m guilty too, I ship Luffy & Nami 😂
Personally I prefer Luffy & Hancock. I wouldn't mind if Nami ended up with him though. Regardless of who he ends up with I hope Nami and Sanji never become a thing. I'd rather her end up with some rando than Sanji.
I ship luffy and Nami too but I luffy and Hancock ain't bad either but I feel that Nami can keep luffy in check if they get together in the end
@@SailTheShipwhy do people hate sanji x nami so much? And why tf do people ship nami and luffy? Nami and luffy shows no romantic interest yet somehow you like it better?
@@megat6054 Because Sanji and Nami have a very annoying simp/goddess dynamic. Treating your girl right is one thing. Treating her like a goddess and being willing to let her step all over you is another. Nami needs someone who will call her out on her BS and treat her like an equal, which Sanji won't do because he's her doormat. As for Luffy and Nami, I specifically said I'd rather see him and Boa. What I was saying is that if Luffy and Nami got together I'd at least be fine with it compared to Sanji and Nami. Not that I like the idea. And there isn't any romance between Sanji and Nami either. She has no romantic interest in him. She just occasionally uses him for the doormat that he is.
@@SailTheShipHonestly I also don't mind sanjixnami not happening but I hated how luffy x nami is even a thing. Bcs honestly nami doesn't deserve to be with luffy . Luffy is also doesn't give a f about romance yet somehow people likes the idea of the ship . And you'll probably say somethin like but nami is like luffy loyal companion or somenthin when zoro and sanji are more loyal towards luffy.
6:12, you missed the loud "WTF!" but not the little "wtf" xd
Your reaction made me so happy. You can tell you are a true One Piece fan, loving every second of this. And when you said this embodies everything Luffy is I smiled ear to ear. To answer a few of your questions. Luffy is basically Joyboy's reincarnation in present day. Joy boy likely had the same fruit when he was Alive. And the drums of liberation is the sound of Luffy's heart, which Joyboy's heart also made that sound. And yes , One Piece has always been fun before anything else. I'm so happy to see your reaction ❤
6:13 I like how you said it, then bleeped yourself the second time you said it lmao
Man if Hancock ever sees Luffy go Gear 5 and use that "muscle muscle" form she's gonna pass out lol
13:34 jami had me dying from her laughter
out of probably 50 reactions you're the only person that didn't get that he made the ground rubber as well
and that in addition to pausing and rewinding stuff 😂😂 unbelievable
Who's Who's and Jimbei's fight discloses a little bit about Nika.
We got bounceman, we got snakeman… now we got rubberhoseman! I love it!
Saturday is gonna be insane! Can't wait to see the animators flex their skills on the Luffy vs. Gear 5 fight.
Thanks
You felt the meaning of Gear 5 , great reaction.🔥
I don't even watch One Piece, but I knew I had to come to Jami's channel for this milestone episode
Easily my 3rd favorite anime transformation so far this was pure 🔥
ムキムキー！ムキー！（muscle×3）
jamiに釣られて笑いが止まらんw🤣
Does "Muki" means muscles in Japanese?
@@Ringoroadagain6yes！『MUKI MUKI』＝『Muscular』
@@HandZawa thanks
When Kaido did blast breath luffy turned the ground into rubber and used it as a shield and deflected it back at Kaido in case any of y’all are wondering
This is the beginning of the onepiece version of Tom and Jerry.😆
I need to watch this episode again. The fight scene was so hectic that I couldn’t follow what was going on 😂
Thank you, people been hating this GEAR 5, But I’m freaking love it
I thought I was wrong but you just give me the moment I want, you loved it too, seeing you cry is actually made me cry too, Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
This is peak reaction! Next episode will be 🔥
11:47 Luffy have no idea this is awakening of his fruit. And Luffy being Luffy, he just called it Gear 5 😂
Jamie has a good Taste. Luffy x Nami.
And the episode was more than amazing.
Been waiting for your reaction all day! Let’s goooo!
In my own thoughts, 5th Gear maybe has some similarities with Ultra Instinct and the new form makes Luffy look like more than an Emperor.
0 similarities other than maybe the white hair lmao
it has nothing similar to ultra instinct besides design. they are so different its crazy
It's not even remotely close to Ultra Instinct other than the white hair. Honestly Ultra Instinct has silver hair so it's not even similar in terms of design
And hearing that line, "make people smile," or in the manga it was, "bringing smiles to faces far and wide." When you back through the story, you realize he had been doing this the whole time. Not just when he saved the day, but little things, like his interactions with the women on Amazon Lily. How by the beginning they were closed off, hated men, and wanted nothing but to see him dead, turning into them all loving him and not wanting him to leave. Even bringing a smile to Boa's face, who hadn't genuinely been that happy in god knows how long
'' luffy is a FREAKING GOD? WTF'' im deaaaad, i loved your reaction as usual, keep it going queen!
the transformation and episode did exactly what they needed to do, cause i laughed and smiled the whole episode. nika breaking the fourth wall and even bringing smiles to the viewers faces. ya gotta love it.
2:11 oh no she noticed that 😂😂🤣😵💫🔥🔥
That was so funny and epic! This was the episode that I laughed so much that my lungs are getting hurt!
I was so surprised when I heard the true name of the gomu gomu fruit and I become the Enel's face, but the fight was so funny that the attacks were inspired by the classic cartoons like Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry. Kaido's shocked face was the scene that I laughed so much.
Also Hiyori was incredible. She was right about it. Even she was hungry and living in the poverty from twenty years, she proudly keep her surname Kouzuki and Orochi was truly a insolent and pathetic scum who doesn't deserved to be entitled as Shogun.
Like in the previous episode, Nami has made Luffy to awaken his devil fruit and make the drums of liberation. Thanks to her, Luffy is alive!
2:28
JamiUwu: why are we getting a crotch shot?
Oden: First time, huh?
Nice shipping Luffy and Nami is the only right option. 💪 Now that we're on the final saga Oda is making it more and more obvious. At least in the manga.
Also, I don't wanna say anything regarding Luffy fruit awakening, just know that we'll have it explained later on where the theory about Nami being the catalyst for his awakening has more merit. It's a very popular theory right now for Luffy's awakening.
Luffy doesn'tshow romantic interest in nami yet somehow so many people ship them.
the 4th wall break is that when they say he brings smiles and laughter to everyone who sees him, they mean EVERYONE viewers included
Oda's original dream when writing OP was to make people smile. He had Gear 5 planned for a long time. And now everyone can't help but smile and laugh along with Luffy. His VA, Mayumi Tanaka, did an amazing job in this episode, giving Luffy such a contagious laughter.
It's crazy that we just watched the realization of Oda's dream. Thanks Oda!
It is so nice how luffy spreedes so much joy that he even makes us laught
Yeah this episode genuinely made me laugh out loud, thats exactly what the animators were going for
@@rachitdev7915 yes defenetly
I'm glad you enjoy this episode Jami, especially the "muscle muscle" part:). For me this episode really does make me happy as a manga reader. I've been waiting for gear 5 to be animated and it is worth to wait!! There are some people who don't like this episode because maybe they expect gear 5 to be something epic and vicious, but in fact it's not hahaha. Because funny fights full of laughter will continue to go hand in hand with gear 5.
I was here. Lmao; as a one piece fan of a few years this is epic. First real super hype episode that I’ve been able to watch in real time. Love this episode so much I was laughing like an idiot.
Your reaction of tears of joy is watching luffy fight is literally the essence of joyboy and sun god nika's existence.
