One Piece Highlights the Dual Nature of Gear Five

Directed by Nozomu Shishido, Episode #1100 “Powers on a Different Level! Luffy vs. Lucci!”

Oda has come out and stated thatGear Five was created with the design of makingOne Piecemore lighthearted . Gear Five certainly delivers in that wish with many originative gags and uproarious Modern attacks . Gear Five ’s wackiness was further enhanced by the Zanzibar copal , which assume a decided approach towardsGear Five prompt by westerly cartoonsin particular . As a result , anime - only rooter as well as manga readers were quite take aback by the right-down amount of chaos and goofiness when Luffy awakened the Nika Fruit .

That said , One Piece ’s gum anime has slowly begun to show another side to Gear Five that until now had been overshadowed by its wackiness . Upon rewatch , Gear Five certainly had its terrifying moments even against Kaido , but these are far and few between . sequence # 1100 , however , brings this split nature of Gear Five to the head andshows thatOne Piece ’s upcoming fight can still be just as epic and that Luffy can still very much be intimidating , even in his new manic form .

Luffy ’s happy - go - favourable smile inGear Five takes on a rather diabolical qualityin the latest episode and the red glow in his eye is almost sinister . Even though he may still be using his silly approach , Luffy is doubtless taking the replay against Lucci very seriously and his first clout all but conveys that he means line of work .

The cartoon - alike nature of Luffy ’s Gear 5 transformation is a everlasting embodiment of what gain One Piece so peculiar among Shonen anime .

Gear Five’s Goofiness is Necessary

Gear Five ’s silly nature helps the series retain the same fun tone it started with , specially as the Final Saga progresses and come near climactic events . As Luffy slow nears the final stage of therace to Laugh Tale , his upcoming battles will only get all the more monolithic with high stakes riding on each and every engagement . As a result , theseries would get too serious and lose the lightsome charmthat it is screw for .

Without Gear Five ’s lighthearted fun , One Piecewould no longer be the fun plagiariser adventure it was hypothesise to be .

Having said that , Gear Five ’s terrifying appearance and power inOne Pieceare finally helping the serial accomplish some illusion of residuum while also partially appeasing fans originally put off byGear Five . The latest sequence is no guarantee that Luffy will cease his indulgence , but fans can catch one’s breath insure that the Egghead Arc and the balance of the exciting battles to come will be a treat to watcher .
