Honestly not sure why people actually hate Gear 5. This is the first form with actual potential on creativity when it comes to what he can do (which is basically anything he thinks of).
I don't mind it, but I think the one thing I have a problem with is that the attacks Luffy lands don't really have the same impact for me as his attacks before.
Those Chapters after 1010 when Luffy was fighting Kaido with ACoC were so good imo. I don't usually get hyped up reading manga but that absolute monster of a Gear 2/3 gut punch + that ACoC headbutt clash were so amazing to me.
When it comes to when Luffy hitting someone and rubberizes their body, this page as an example, it doesn't hit as hard for me . I think if there was more of an outline of Luffy's fist when he punches through Lucci's body instead of a rubber blob it'd go a long way in terms of impact.
He shoots himself towards Lucci like a slingshot and then punches him into the gut. Look right next to Lucci, there's Luffy's arm that leads to Luffy's body. Looks like it could be a somewhat enlargened fist
Thank you for pointing that out cause I was having trouble as well
I ain't so good with clarity when it comes to black and white pages
colored pages ftw
