It’s funny to me cus secando in Spanish means “to dry” or “it’s drying” …so when I watched this first time and my mom overheard it she was like “what’s drying?”
I mean its the initial step towards awakening his Devil Fruit. So of course its to set up big things. Gear 2 focuses on his Blood. Gear 3 focuses on his Bones. Gear 4 focuses on his Muscles. Gear 5 focuses on his Heart. It's all part of the progression.
@@akshaykannan98 No idea. Somehow the focus is no longer on the impact of the scenes, but only on the effect. I remember the Straw Hats split by Kuma, so much impact without big effects, just pure emotion. Nowadays, the anime just seems like "Hey look, we have a lot of budget and we have cool animation, you can hardly see anything through all the effects and the aura, but it was expensive."
This is probably my favourite arc in One Piece, everyone in it evolves so much. Sanji, With Diable Jambe and Zoro with his 9 Sword Style. And finally Luffy with his first transformation of the series, Gear Second
@@cond.oriano3264 Wano also has an upgrade to each straw hat to be fair - Longer monster point chopper - Sanji's new biology - Zoro's King Of Hell Style - Luffy's massive multiple upgrades and.... you know - Robin's new form - Robin's clim-e-tact upgrade to zeus the only members who don't upgrade are Franky, Jinbe, Brook, and Usopp sadly but still.
Fun fact : Luffy using gear 5 power in the beginning cause , why rubber become Pink and be steamed ITS not make sense unless you imagine it with The power of gear 5
I like Luffy's speech when he introduce 2nd Gear. Luffy: "...I need to get stronger to protect my nakama...Because I have nakama much weaker than me who I want to be with! (like Ussop) If i don't become stronger than everyone...I'll lose them all!" "I thought of a way to become very more powerful. So that I never lose anyone. So that I can keep them by my side!"
@@andywilliams2082 i said that since they have a fight prior to this that leads to Ussop leaving the crew and he said to Luffy: "You don't need weak nakama, right?"...sorry if you're offended...
People who say that this isn’t the first time Luffy used gear 2nd because he used it in movie 7 and people who say goku used super saiyan against lord slug for the first time and not frieza give off the same energy.
Guess what There both non cannon and never happen in the manga Goku turned ssj against Frieza and luffy used gear 2nd for the first time against blueno
@@jacobbruen9231 False Super Saiyan is a Fan term, it's actually Toei's design of what they thought Super Saiyan would look like before Goku actually gets it in the Manga
When I thought of starting One Piece I got intimidated by the length of it. I decided to go ahead with it. Started to binge the manga near the beginning of February 2021 and I’m glad I did, it has now become my favorite manga series to read currently. Two months later and I made it to this exact scene in the manga. I felt proud because I thought that I have finally made it with everyone else and then I realized I’m not even close to halfway caught up :/ Has been a blast so far though! (Water 7 is my favorite arc so far) 2 week later Update: I’m on Impel Down now so far my two favorite arcs are Water 7 and Saboady 3 Week Later Update: I’m on the first chapter of Marineford 3 and 1/2 week Later Update: I officially finished Part 1 of One Piece. Can’t believe the journey is halfway over. To the new world we go! 4 Week Later Update: I’m on the fishman island arc 1 Month Later: I’m on Punk Hazard. I think Fishmen Island is heavily underrated not my favorite but I liked it 1 Month and 1 Week Later: I’m now on Dressrosa 1 Month and 3 weeks later: I’m on Zou (I really Liked the first half of Dressrosa The second half was pretty good too but not as good As the first half but I did like the fight against Doflamingo and the ending) 2 Months Later: I’m on Whole Cake Island. I really really loved the Zou arc :) 2 Months 1/2 Week later: I’m on Reverie Arc which is the arc before the current arc Wano omg I’m really here :D (Thoughts on Whole Cake: Almost everything before the tea party was top tier I loved it. The escape was definitely dragged out way too long it could have been cut in half. BUT it also contained some of my favorite things too like: Nami taming Zeus, Carrot transforming, Pedro death, Sanji and Pudding, Luffy vs Katakuri which is now my favorite One Piece fight. So while it did drag on and it bought the arc down a bit it still had some S tier stuff and the story and characters were amazing enough to make this arc one of my favorites. They made Nami and Brook which are characters who don’t get much spotlight become MVP’s of this arc which I love it made me like them more as Strawhats. Snake man is my favorite Luffy transformation, Katakuri one of the best villains really respectable also the best villain design, Pudding’s character arc was sad but amazing, Big Mom is also great and terrifying, I love Sanji even more. Probably my favorite island so far. Really great stuff. Amazing arc I think it helps that I’m able to binge it and not wait weekly.) Also Luffy has 1.5 Billion on his name LETS GOOOO!!! Few Hours Later: Since Reverie is a short arc I decided to finish that one too. Which means... *puts on kimono.* I made it... to the Land of Wano! 2 Months and 3 Weeks Later: I can officially say that I’m ahead of the anime! (Chapter 985 to be exact at the moment I’m typing this) Wano is hands down top 3 favorite arcs! I love it so much! I’ll update when I get to chapter 1000 and when I’m caught up to the current chapter. One day after the previous log: I am on chapter 1000! What an achievement and what a journey. I’m glad I am able to read one of my favorite stories ever ;) 2 Months and 3 1/2 Weeks Later: Well it’s official. Almost 3 months since I first made this post and I’m officially done with my One Piece binge. I am caught up with the current chapter. Got to say, I am both ecstatic and extremely sad. Binging this story has been one of the best media experiences I’ve ever had. A plus at least is that I can avoid any and all spoilers now that I’m on page with everyone else now. It took me about 6 Months (half a year) to catch up to the current chapter of One Piece. Now I have to experience the pain of weekly chapters :’) 10/10 Story. Wano so far is my favorite arc in One Piece. It has everything I love in One Piece to its highest degree. On top of that it had so many twist and unexpected developments and very high stakes where people are actually dying. Also Yamato for Nakama is my purpose now. All she needs is a backstory and it’s guaranteed. I will still be postings this log but only when some really major development happens or an arc comes to an end and I will give my thoughts. It’s been a blast binging One Piece and can’t way to see this series to its end! Episode 1000 came out a while ago but I can still note about it. Really liked it, it was a nice celebration of the journey so far. Also looking forward to the next episode tomorrow (episode 1003? I think.) It looks hype based on the promo. (Manga Spoilers) Also the Sanji and Zoro fights are also hype and about to wrap up and I am looking forward to how Luffy vs Kaido will go down. Can’t wait for Roof Piece in anime! Soooo chapter 1043 came out… Joy Boy incoming! It was so hype!!! My theory is that “Joy Boy” is a Spirtual thing passed down through the will of D lineage. The people with the will of D have the potential to awaken Joy Boy but you actually have to meet the criteria of Joy Boy, and Luffy in fact does.
Anyone ever wonders what gear second original use was for me personally believe it wasn’t for speed but to melt aokiji ice gear second was the beginning stages of luffy making a counter to beat aokiji
@@lebronjames5555 well if he can use either snake,bounce or tank man with a increased gear two then it every possible plus If his color of arms stronger or increased like Katakuri then he can by a good chance but that is just what I think
@@miketube6986 Snakeman is essentially Gear 2-ified Bound man, as Snake man increases his speed to be on par with, if not slightly faster than Katakuri's own physical ability. Since, y'know... Luffy kind of suffered a lot before fighting poor ol' Katakuri.
@@cptcarlos583 no cause luffy said in dressrosa that gear four is neither gear 3 nor gear 2 so o can't happen and snake man is just a more agile luffy it is not a gear 2-ified bound(bounce) man
@@LordTenma lmao kenshin Have a great day! God Bless! Stay strong, stay safe and take care of yourselves! Wishing everyone the best! Jesus loves you! May the Holy Spirit guide you! 😇 💗🕊 Cheers to a better year buddy! 💞🥂🍻
@@noobako7164 Nah, I’d say Alabasta was the arc that delineated Luffy as being stronger than Zoro. There was a significant gap between Crocodile and his first mate Daz Bones with Luffy and Zoro beating those two respectively.
@@bulletium5163 Spoilers for chapters 1043 and above for anyone reading this. You still need to practice applying your thoughts in a real life situation, thinking it and actually doing it are two different things. For example, I know how to do a backflip in my head, doesn't mean I will actually be able to do one in real life. Furthermore, it was implied that luffy didn't have a complete picture of what his gears will look like until he saw CP9 use sky walk which was less than a day before he used gear 2nd for the first time. Meaning he had very little time to develop his gears in a real word practical application. Well chapter 1044 addresses this because one of his fruits powers is to make luffy's imagination into reality. Meaning he imagined what his gears will look like and thanks to his devil fruit he was able to make them real.
I love how out of all the gears, Gear 2 is probably his most serious. The way he is being quiet but also menacing at the same time isn’t something even gear 5 can never do
I absolutely love that like other animes, one piece doesn't show the whole ass training and learning process of power ups. They just add it out of nowhere.
My respect for Luffy became greater after this episode. Being strong for his crewmates somehow awakened Haki from within him when he didn't even know about it or even trained for it just like when Zoro went to Mihawk to train him to protect his comrades even if it meant that Zoro had to beg. Another moment that changed not OP but Zoro for the better. I thought they were using it this whole time in smaller amounts like when Luffy broke free from within 2 buildings.
Bro, this debut really shows how smart luffy is, he can act dumb, yeah, but he really thought "Hmm.. these guys are fast, so what if i.. juat become fast?? :0" AND DID IT?! Really shows his creativity in action.
If an ordinary human does that, they'll just die in the next few minutes since the body is too solid and cause cardiac arrest. But Luffy's body is elastic so his body can handle increase of blood pressure (and probably clean up his vessels in the process) as his heart and lungs and bones are elastic enough to not cause any hypertensions and any complications.
i was amazed at all the Gears but for me the one that caught me off guard and amazed me the most was Gear 4's introduction and that cliff-hanger, the way screen turns black and he says "Gear Forth" and the end... I was like Damnnnn son :D
When luffy says he has nakama to protect,we could see his crewmates pictures,with usopp being the only one to face backwards referencing to their fight
pro tip to those who wanna keep motivated for watching one piece: you can watch those epic scenes without any context and make it a goal "oh shit i wanna reach that moment and feel the hype" i did it and now im fully caught up with the manga
A detail I really love is that Mayumi Tanaka doesn't deliver "gia... sekando" in the bombastic way she reads Luffy's gum-gum attacks or how an archetypal shonen hero would scream their power up transformation. Just determination, grit and clarity, reflecting how this isn't a moment of cocky assuredness for Luffy (he's had so much of that ripped away from him this arc) - it's all drama. This is about his friends and how seriously he wants to protect them.
Who else came to rewatch this after seeing the Unbelievable Power of Gear 5 But This was still so epic kinda like when Goku first turned SSJ fighting Frieza
"What amazing physical ability." This might sound like a cope but Oda really has been dropping hints since the very beginning. Knowing that zoans have amazing physical abilities it was right in front of our eyes.
Even more is when Lucci explains how Insane durability and Adaptability Zoans have - the same fight where Luffy showed him both of this quality to be above his... a zoan.
@@jellymatsuryuka6853 read the current manga it's stated even by oda himself the gomu gomu no mi or the rubber devil fruit is actually hito hito no mi:model nika aka sun god when awakened and showed it's a zoan type since it's can transform the user to another form and strengthen they physical ability (in luffy case since it's a very special fruits it's only changed his eye color alos if I not wrong make him can fly even tho i still a rubber)
His physical abilities are because of his grandpa basically subjecting him to some of the harshest trainings. I would assume you’re tough if you get dropped in a jungle and are made to survive
It's Luffy after all everyone thinks he is just funny and dumb guy.......But eventually he know more about his friends and he has to get stronger for them....😁😎
Second Gear Probably his Best Transformation !!! The most Iconic One eventhugh we all know how powerfull Gear 5 is accprding to Imu and 5 Garrosei . Particularly when he used it on Time Skip Haki + Gear 2 vs Pacifista ..
i hope am not talking out of my ass when i say that this moment probably brought back fans who liked this show and gave up and brought new fans as well cause i used to watch one piece .......4kids dubbed so i gave up but then one time late at night i saw this clip baked out of my mind and i knew i had to rewatch this series .....even got my homie enrique the dude that gets all the girls someone who doesnt even like anime and now so far he has rewatched one piece 4 times
I just reached this arc and I know about gear 5 because of spoilers and it's amazing to know that when Lucci tells the Star Hats that Zoans get stronger over time and the reveal of Luffy's fruit, makes me realise how strong Luffy is and will get.
@@araflyzakiradjagaoe2198 his df makes shit work when it shouldn't. Pumping your legs and spiking your blood pressure doesn't speed up your metabolism, and the bottleneck is how much air you can take in, not what you can deliver to your muscles. It's not fifth gear but its related.
