Snake Man Luffy vs Katakuri | One Piece 

I still can't get over the fact that Katakuri has a Donut Form. He's so dignified and serious, and his strongest attacks are all donut-based. And he does it all without acknowledging the silliness of it.

When people say Luffyy isn't smart, hes actually super creative. After learning Haki and Gear 4 he learned how to use Haki to fly

I love that even after Luffy shows off his new form, it's not a complete wash against Katakuri. Like he keeps up and mostly trounces Luffy until the very end, even with his new form. It's kind of refreshing to see a new form that isn't a perfect counter to an opponent's abilities

The real reason why Katakuri lost was because the Gum-Gum Fruit possesses the properties of both rubber and gum.

Imagine Hancock saw this fight, she would go CRAZY thinking that Luffy named the transformation after her😂

Imagine if Krispy Kreme made an advert about Katakuri eating their doughnuts, and then attaining ultimate power. 🍩

Katakuri has to be the most evenly matched opponent Luffy has ever fought till he met Kaido. All of his power mimic Luffy’s to an extent, and he pushed all the way to the end

1:19 the way Katakuri stomps at the ground, destroying it by doing that is just pure badassery

Never get tired of seeing this fight. *Praise the donuts* 🍩

I love how even with this new form kataguri was still outclassing him.

Love how Luffy talks to his attacks like they have a mind of their own lol

"HE TRANSFORMED HIMSELF INTO A DONUT?!" - Uzumaki D. Khan "King Of The Reactors"

Luffy’s best OP fight so far.

I remember to this day when I saw this clip in my recommendation tab, and right after watching it, I started watching One Piece. Today, more than 1 year later, I reached this episode and must say it, totally worth it ;)

At 0:44 you can tell that Luffy's giving it his absolute all, just like in his fight with Rob Lucci. That's the "just *DIE* already!" tone that escapes your lips when your tank's nearly on E and your opponent still looks as strong as ever.

Honestly i feel Luffy had FAR more trouble with Katakuri than the likes of Doflamingo. He pushed him to his absolute limit and beyond.

The man who never falls against the man who always bounces back Oda is a genius

Man, I wish that Watanabe was a One Piece regular, specially with the new art style. Easily one of my favorite animators out there, his cut in this fight was imo the best one

It’s kinda refreshing to see a main character pull out a form that only makes them relative to their opponent. Even after luffy pulls this out he’s only barely keeping up and usually only trading blows

i think that cr realized people are stealing these scenes and get millions of views lolz, best to make the money they missing, this been out for a year over 5 million views thats nearly 5k dollars

You just now released this scene? This is one of the greatest moments in one piece lol...

0:45 I just love that shot. Even though he’s just shown us a new form, the effort he’s still putting in to beat this guy is insane.

I think my favorite part about this was, unlike what happens so many times in shonen anime, when luffy broke out his new form/power/level, he didnt just obliterate the bad guy. No, he was still behind, but now he was capable of at least doing some damage and bringing it to more of a battle of will.

It's actually incredible to me just how detailed the animation work is on this fight - truly a masterpiece!

You know the animation‘s good when the ground turns into squares.

The best part of this fight was seeing Luffy's growth happening mid battle. He was constantly adapting and learning from the fight.

This dude can predict whole seconds into the future and can barely react because Luffy is THAT fast in Snakeman form, jesus

Son: "Dad, why is my sister called Rose?" Dad: "Because your mother loves roses." Son: "Oh okay, thanks dad!" Dad: "No problem snake man luffy vs katakuri."

0:40 Doesn’t he know this road? There’s a sharp turn after this curve...NANI?! Katakuri Dorifto?!

The beginning of the clip was made by Tu Yong Ce, the rest of it was Koudai Watanabe and the end of it was Masami Mori. Thanks to this great animators we have this amazing scene.

It’s a shame that the “Buzzcut mochi” didn’t actually buzzcut Luffy, would’ve given him an excuse to wear his straw hat more

1:16 The Kaido before the Kaido

A moment of silence for those who dont watch one piece because they think it's a waste of time.

This is truly the fight of ONE PIECE pre-Wano

I don't think people really understands how devastating Luffy's punches really is. Him in base form is already bad why? Try getting hit with a fist sized rubber bullet and try recovering from it... Imagine if that fist sized rubber bullet is now propelled at jet speed... Kudos to all those who have ate Luffy's attacks they're really strong.... I don't even wanna dive deeper into gear 3 and 4 attacks and armament haki... Just do the maths

Katakuri was an absolute menace

One of the greatest fights in one piece no discussion

0:38 Whole Cake Zone - Act 2

Idk why I’m watching this when I’m only on episode 60😂

Took me 2 years to get to this episode 😭 loving every minute of it!

Imagine how fast Katakuri has to be if snake man could barely keep up with him

When the animation wasn't a light show.

Man! Katakuri was such an unbelievably tough opponent for Luffy to defeat. The guy just kept coming and coming back for more until he completely passed out from exhaustion! He's gotta be Admiral-level for sure. I hope we get to see much of the same from King.

the first time i was amazed by what one piece animators could really do.

a legendary fight the man who never falls vs the man who always gets back up

Other villains: "Oh no. The protagonist uses a new fighting mode for the first time. I am so doomed." Katakuri 1:08: "BUZZ CUT MOCHI!!"

Crazy how this almost a year old and I remember when this fight first came out like it was yesterday

0:20 imagine if this fight had that animation the entire time

Man people forget the age difference between the people luffy fights he’s like 18-23 (idk his age) vs 40+ age characters. Imagine him at 30

Luffy's worst enemy: spiked blunt weapons

0:16 Beautiful art style change 😍 Oh and the animation of course 😅

0:57 not anymore bud 😂

Lets be honest, we probably got spoiled all the gears but it always be epic no matter what.

Snake Man is finally back

This would of had more views if Crunchyroll released it sooner

The animation and art style of this fight was truly just awesome It feels like I'm watching Luffy go 2nd gear for that first time again, only better.

Damn one of the best animated fights do far hope we see snake man again in the series soon

0:02 the skills from pinball game is showing off

luffy had biggest plot armor ever seen in one piece this fight

The reason why this is my favorite fight is because Luffy isn't winning due to plot armor or anything like that, I like how he constantly gets beaten during the fight which shows the true danger of him losing and dying, and how he just keeps getting back up to fight an enemy that is stronger than him and ends up winning through willpower and determination, plus this fight was amazing

more simplistic title: rubber guy is a fan of snakes and battles food man at high speeds

Katakuri won this fight physically, but mentally lost. He didn't have the will to keep going like Luffy. Katakuri knows that Big Mom loves her crew and their crew is like family, but there is definitely something "wrong" about how Big Mom does things, and that didn't match up with the purity of Luffy's ideals and him wanting to save Sanji, so mentally Katakuri gave up the win.

This fight is well written, Rayleigh asked what Luffy would do to overcome enemies who are stronger than him and can see into the future for which Luffy answered "It depends on the kind of person/opponent" which goes to show why Luffy actually won (and therefore foreshadowing), it all depended on the person Katakuri was before and during the fight and how he was re-discovering/redefining his identity by shedding away his persona (hence he stabbed himself in front of his so-called fans etc. and gave Luffy the win as he lost mentally).

What was actually amazing to me is Gear Four is flexible. It's not like Gears Two and Three where they are speed or strength enhancements where Bounce Man is balanced out while Snake Man is Attack Speed and Strength focused. Tank Man is the same where it's more for absorbing the hit and recoiling them so hard they're sent flying

Best fight in One Piece 🔥

Why is it posted so late lol this fight is a *one masterpiece*

a man who never fell vs a man who always gets up in a mirror dimension. Oda is a genius

Me who is on Thriller Bark: yeah i understand whats happening

To me it's adorable hearing luffy and his child like imagination tell his arms named culverin to go catch the enemy, attack, be faster. 🐕

The fact that Luffy was able to put up a fight against someone who's Devil Fruit and abilities outclassed his own is impressive in its own right.

One of the reasons why I like this fight is that it is not about power ups. Katakuri made it clear from beginning that he is far superior in strength and speed so therefore, the fight becomes all about strategy. It is raw, involves clashing of two similar powers and in the process, involves Luffy depending on creativity to ensure he does not make a detrimental mistake. Luffy only used gears as his final move, like when he figured out Katakuri's weakness he turned into bounce man.

0:46 😭 so goooooooddddddd

Luffy vs Lucci is still my favorite One Piece fight, and in my opinion it’s the best in the series, but the animation team was in their pocket with the Luffy vs Katakuri fight.

Seeing this after the spoilers to chapter 1043 CHANGES EVERYTHING 😭😭😭😭

Who thinks that mochi buzz cut is just the coolest thing in the world

Only in one piece can you say a fight between a donut man and a rubber man is hype and really cool, oda is just an amazing writer

Lets be real katakuri gave up because he wanted to fall on his back to an honorable person plus he asked if they will fight again. Luffy could’ve gotten killed if he decided to show him no mercy at the end.

0:26 this dodge was so clean like fr.

1:23 It's like the first battle between Luffy & Kaido (at the end).

even with the new amazing wano animation, this and episode 1033 are my favorite fight scenes in one piece

This fight is defitenly better than Kaido's fight on anime.

Katakuri is my favorite one piece character by far. It’s nice his fight is the best in one piece too

Came from ep 1049 to say that Snake Man is as cool as ever

it's crazy to watch the first one piece episodes and see how much the fight scenes have improved.

I think luffy needed this fight more than any other. This is the one that pushed him over the edge and forced him to break his limits. His Haki wouldn't be near what it is now if he hadn't fought kata. Haki only strengthens in the heat of battle, right??

Damn, didnt know that Gintoki had dough like powers, maybe those years of eating sweets payed off

By the end, Luffy earned respect and recognition from Katakuri. He began to see Luffy as a worthy opponent. Even though Katakuri stood up, he could not fight any longer. Luffy had defeated terms of determination and stamina. However, both characters have achieved a lot from their fight. Luffy learned advanced observation haki and Katakuri learned new moves. Also Katakuri got a little piece of mind because now he knows he does not have to try too hard to be perfect. What I like about this arc is that it proves that half of the straw hats are good enough to mess around in an emperor's territory and get away with it while at the same time, it proves that the other half is very needed.

The true reason KATAKURI lost was because he used his future sight to look into the future and saw gear 5. Basically bro said: nope

The one difference between Rubber and Mochi is that rubber will always bounce back, while mochi is malleable.

Can we all take some time to appreciate the animation here? It's wonderfully done and not looking like a tom & jerry chase sequence (i.e. naruto vs pain)

This animation is just.. clean as butter.

Kinda hella late to be posting this, but oh well.

Yeah now that i think about it his gears were kinda weird for being a rubber fruit

The animation is so clean. But I remember that this fight lasted over 20 episodes...

Having a resilient rubber body, on top of having zoan type durability. Not to mention the clouds surrounding him were a teaser as well.

I just watched this episode like an hour ago(episode 871, right?) And yea I've got 60more episode to finally catch up eith new episodes of one piece after 2months of watching this every day without skipping any episodes UwU

CRUNCHYROLL THANK YOU , BEST FIGHT 2019

Katakuri: I turn into a convertible

Overcome your limits , luffy.
