The way luffy speed blitz lucci actually made luffy look like an emperor fighting. It gave the same atmosphere as when kaido fought luffy and gave this menacing smile with red eyes
Luffy used G2, G3 and G4 for 7 biiiig arcs, that was worth. However we probably are going to see more about gears, because nika takes too much energy from luffy.
Yep. Not only is he protected by plot armor as the main hero but now he has the power of toon force on his side . Which makes him pretty much virtually unbeatable . He can never lose now . Not that he ever could to begin with He’s the star. Stars don’t lose
@@DamontheDemon7Meh no plot armor. It's literally his powers are that good they seem like plot armor at this point when you really think of it. He's a Looney toon at this point what better way to keep anyone from saying plot armor than to make his power THE PLOT ARMOR lmao
WE ARE LIVING ENDTIMES JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK. DO NOT GET DISTRACTED GET RIGHT WITH HIM RIGHT NOW. SPREAD THE MESSAGE. NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND. AS ONE SOLDIER TO ANOTHER. BIBLE IS ALL REAL AND TRIBULATIONS ARE CLOSE. WARRIORS OF CHRIST RISE AND GIVE GLORY TO GOD
I love how we as the audience got to see this from Lucci's POV. One moment Luffy is way over there, bouncing around and laughing. An eye blink later, Luffy is right in front of him with his fist already cocked back, no longer laughing, and staring at Lucci with those glowing eyes.
For those who live in misery Nika shall be the one who brings back their laughs. For those who put others into misery Nika shall be a walking nightmare laughing and fooling around while totally destroying them.
this is why i love Vegapunk's description of Nika so much. "The warrior of liberation, the person who plays the fool and fights as he pleases. Sun god Nika!" You can really see that in luffy. he plays around hitting when he wants to hit slowly chipping away at the enemies sanity and making them somehow drop their guard because of his stupidity and then smash them in the face when the facade drops for the fraction of a second that only the person who is seeing it head on can notice. it's almost poetic consider this has always been luffy's way of fighting and it just got turbo boosted

You really have to be the unkillable Kaido to stand a chance against what Luffy becomes in Gear 5. It's actually incredible Kaido took as many blows as he did from this form.
@@ivanteoh930 If we really wanna do the brass tacks of the thing in berries Kaido fought essentially almost 15 billion berries on the roof. (obviously berries aren't always used for power but you can use it in this case) Luffy in Gear Fifth is what finally turned the tables over powering Kaido. It's difficult to say if both were fresh if Gear 5th necessarily would win outright one on one vs Kaido... but if Kaido could fight that much off - That's what Luffy is capable of now if not greater. Which seeing how Luffy deals with Kizaru and Lucci starts to make a lot more sense. He's on a completely different level.
Why are you counting their bountys after the fight? You would say you beat ronaldo, a multi billion dollar footballer (because you did when he was 5 and you were 16) ?
"Luffy is about to have an exciting fun battle with lucci" Cue luffy crushes him like a bug then decided "oh he's alive, guess I'll hold back now, that was a bit much"
Man the fact that Lucci looked at this form and said it that "It looks very fun" shows that they share weird bond. To everyone else is just ridiculous, but the fighter in him sees that this will be very enjoyable
You guys don’t get it lol, lucci thought it would be a good fight and that he’d stand a chance, he had no idea he’d get shat on so fast, it’s why he was so shocked when luffy appeared in front of his face outta no where
They concentrated too much on luffy budgetwise. Lucci ‚this is going to be fun‘ 10 sec later ‚you are annoying‘ they must have spent weeks on the transformation and the punch that they forgot what lucci said 10 seconds ago
Honestly, this first Gear 5 transformation where he taps into it willingly for the first time might be better than when it first happened in Wano. Love this scene, it looks like a movie *EDIT* For the people saying this isn't the first time he willingly tapped into it, you're technically correct, but he really just temporarily fell out of Gear 5 due to exhaustion, and then quickly tapped back in against the same opponent. This is the first time we've seen him do it against someone not named Kaido, and it had a special feel to it.
@@lazylonewolf Not really, if you read the manga. The anime is catching up, so fast. Aside from the fact that oda is taking a lot of breaks nowadays. Which is good for him.
did you seriously change his surname? Robu is his last name not first :D Rucchi is is name and its nowere close to Robert :D (in Japanese they always say theire last name first :) )
To me the thing about gear 5 for opponents is that upon first encounter they don't take Luffy seriously on account of him laughing and smiling constantly. It throws the opponent off that their guard is lowered ever so slightly. You saw it with Rob Lucci just now and you saw it with Kaido. The first time Kaido was thrown off by the powers of a transformation that he himself stated to be "absurd". After the second transformation he was weary about gear 5 and took it seriously giving it his all up until the end. I believe that in Luffy's head when he is in this state that he completely serious but just can't express it in any way other than joy and comedy. Like a person that ate a SMILE fruit.
What i like most about this is how Luffy doesnt ease Lucci into Gear 5 by doing Gears 2-4, he just goes in hard and Lucci is completely caught off guard.
I think the most interesting thing is that Jinbe seems to know exactly what is going on and knows what that form is when no one else does, not even Luffy.
Mayumi Tanaka, the voice of Luffy here, is a true living legend. I first found her name of her voicing Krillin in Dragon Ball Z, and now she voices the next most influential character next to Son Goku. And the way she laughs here! is so frighteningly awe inspiring!
Man imagine a fight of luffy vs goku where they're both equal Complete goofyness vs the seriousness of ultra instinct And also two voice actresses that have been together since OG Dragon Ball
His transformation is phenomenally animated. Makes him worthy of the Emperor title. With this, I can see him getting the same reaction by marines as Whitebeard did during the paramount war. "That man has the power to destroy the world."
I kinda get where you’re coming from..........I mean, one look at those eyes, and you just know..........that if he was real, and looked at you with those eyes, he would absolutely *see* you down to your soul; all the while pinning you in place with but a stare. Add in the contrast of the pink/red with the white, and it’s just striking in a way you don’t expect. 👀 As a side note though, I will admit that it kinda also reminds me of animals with the same coloration in the same places, having a white body with red eyes..............can’t remember exactly what the condition is called though............I *want* to say albino or albinism, but I’m not sure. 🤔
@@erickchristensen746 I'm caught up in the manga. And I wouldn't call that tesming up as much as "trying not to get blown up in unison", lol. It lasts all of like 1 or 2 chapters anyway. Altho after 1111 I think Lucci is having a mid-life crisis with Kizaru.
Bro Gear 5 Luffy is legit terrifying. This man has nearly complete control of almost every surface around him to a literally comical level, and is having the time of his fucking life as he beats you into the ground. Lucci should have worn his brown pants
Dude, watching this scene without subtitles or the Toei watermark is a whole different experience. I gotta learn Japanese cause this felt like a freaking movie
if you look really really closely you can see that while it looks like luffy is jsut messing around hes preparing his attack. at 2:03 you can see him circling his right arm in preparation before jumping up and down on the ground to get momentum going.
What I like about this is how there's a moment of subversion, Lucci smiles back and for a moment, you're under the impression he's actually going to put up a harder fight.
@@drunkenskunkproductionsdsp8094 that’s actually low tier him claiming he has the best defense is bs the best defense and durability we have ever seen was kaido and luffy.
im now realizing when luffy falls on his back at the end of this clip he's actually turning the dust cloud he created into rubber and bouncing off that. that's crazy.
I completely agree, ive read about 200 manga titles or so but this is on point, I couldn't imagine a better power up for luffy, because of what Nika represents in the one piece world but more than that, what one piece represents to our world, which is a show that since the beginning was meant to be a nonsensical comedy shoe that makes us laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@wiccabessa It's also the ultimate realization of why Oda gave his hero rubber powers, "So no matter the situation there's always some levity in the battles".
Hmmmm. Naruto is the martial arts flick. Bleach is the Death Metal Album covers come to life. Uhhhhh yeah, One Piece as an acid trip works, Mushrooms is also an acceptable answer, it can be very psychedelic.
IMO, Gear 5 is Oda’s artistic expression/interpretation of the primal joy we experience as humans whenever we feel reconnected to the carefree spirit of our monke ancestors. However temporary that joyous mania might be in reality, it’s still extremely delightful.
how can i fucking get goosepumps every fucking time i watch this, grown ass men growing up with dragon ball bleach ken etc its aways catch me. One piece was worth following all along
other characters in their greatest forms: "i have acquired more power, enough to defeat you, villain." luffy in G5th: "how it chews to gum 5 feels...?"
1110 has to be one of the best episodes in the whole show for me, with the gear 5 vs lucci's awakening power and the straw hats learning the truth about the gum gum fruit
Lucci really thought he could fight against a yonko? lmao dude probably can't even survive a hit for kaido like luffy's first battle BUT GOD DAMN IS IT STISFYING TO SEE LUFFY TAKE OUT A "strong(?)" ENEMY IN ONE HIT, LIKE KAIDO DID TO HIM
Anyone else notice Luffy’s shoes changed when he went G5? He was wearing the Egghead boots but when he transformed he switched to his signature sandals
I was just watching clips of the original fights between Luffy and Crocodile, then came back to watch this. The key thing I noticed is that when luffy fights someone at this stage, it feels like HE is the boss fight now. The roles are completely reversed, he's truly an emperor now and both Oda and the animators know that. Holy moly.
If Luffy was sort of a sadist & monologuing type, then from 2:11 it would be something like this: 2:11: Luffy: Aaahhh.... Wanna hear a KILLING Joke? 2:16: 1!2!3! YOU'S DEEEAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the motherfucking drums man......im so glad to have been reading and watching one piece for the last 16 years of my life so i can really feel the emotions these current episodes are giving me.
Advanced Haki, Gear 5, Toon Force, and hero plot armor. Imu is going down by the end of One Piece. Koby will play a main part in the reform of the marines and the world government. Pirates will be given bounties based on actual crimes instead of who Imu wants dead. (A lot of depictions of Imu show them as a man but I think they're a woman. Not that it changes much either way. Just what I think.) Luffy will be pardoned for every crime he did even though most were negligible. The One Piece needs Joyboy to be activated and is most likely a weapon or defense mechanism of some sorts, or I could also see it being a giant ship that is hilarious for some reason or another. I mean if it's a giant ship, they have Zunesha destroy reverse mountain then park the Island right there and no devil fruit users besides Luffy can go there. Luffy would be pretty much invincible and it would be pretty funny. (Imu can't access the Island because Joyboy created the island and sets the laws on it. So he barred devil fruits users from being able to access it so Imu would have a lot harder time getting a marine crue out there. Considering the most powerful marines aside from Garp are always devil fruit users. That's also why they wanted the Nika devil fruit so bad because they know something about the One Piece. That's what leads me to believe the One Piece is something very powerful. The reason Roger couldn't use it or take it with him is because it needs Joyboy to be activated.) Luffy will destroy reverse mountain with Zunesha, allowing easier access to the Grand Line and Fishman Islanders be free to come to the surface. Luffy is considered the hero of the world, pirates are kept in line by followers of his morales and a reformed marines.
@@parodyze Oooh yeah. There's still so much to cover by the end of the anime. I know Oda said he wanted to wrap things up in 5 years or so 2 years ago but I think the manga keeps going for another 5 years from now and the anime probably takes 7 years to finish.
He also said that he wanted to wrap things up quicker before the end of Wano Arc and Egghead arc dropped. I think One Piece has become more popular than ever since those arcs. I mean Wano was my favorite arc so far and Egghead is shaping up to be just as good.
It would be much better if Oda used a new form of Gear 4th to fight Lucci instead of Gear 5. After all not everyone is Kaido. And Lucci will never be able to have a power like Kaido. It's like Oda acknowledge that Lucci has a fighting level of a Yonko when Luffy used Gear 5 on him.
This isn’t it at all. The fight between them is a total beat down. Luffy needed an opponent to test his new abilities on, like in Fishman island where he fights after a timeskip.
@@WaffleOnWafffle I know, I'm upto date with manga. What I'm trying to convey is that new form of Gear 4th is much better than using Gear 5 on an opponent whose power level is nowhere near Yonko powerhouse. Lucci =/ Kaido
@@incognitomc5431 I understand that, but like I said, he hasn’t had time to test gear5. He only had time to train and use other forms. Also, why would he make a new, weaker form?
@@WaffleOnWafffle Not tested? Dude he fought with that form with Kaido for a long time, don't compare normal humans to them. Luffy should already be familiar with his power. It's a body instinct for genius fighters. And do u think that his gear 4th has only 3 forms? There are countless animals in Ruskaina island. He should had forms for all counter effective on different creatures. And besides it's like you will fight a weaker opponent with full level account. It's a shonen show, most protagonist fights with enemy with the same power level or MC power level is below the opponent, then he power up after losing. You get what I meant?
I love how lucci essentially respects luffys strength but will never admit it like like “I fucking hate you and hope you die but I’ll give it to ya, you’re strong”
