Character Discussion Why didn't Luffy awaken gear 5 in marineford

[LokiDragon]

Why didn't Luffy awaken gear5 in marineford. I'm listening

 

[Mr. Anderson]

He didnt die

 

[Fn Lucci]

after three is four

 

[Hako Sama]

just his mind broke

 

[BoaHancocksHusband]

He didn’t learn Gear 4 Tankman

 

[Impact]

At Marineford, Luffy's will/spirit spiraled causing him to go into a catatonic state.

At Wano, Luffy's will/spirit didn't spiral, he was just hijacked by a CP-0 member.

 

[Loki D. Terror]

How and when someone gets awakening depends on oda's whim. There is no rule for it.

 

[Yoho]

Was to weak
Wasn't physically pushed to his limit
Didn't die

Many reasons

 

[Santoryu D Bazooka]

The requirement was for him to almost die 4 times. Or Oda's whim.

 

[Blax Blah]

He didn't wanna

 

[BoaHancocksHusband]

The requirement was for him to almost die 4 times. Or Oda's whim.

The requirement was drinking the milk in Wano

 

[Chiji_]

He wasn’t anywhere near mastering his fruit, hadn’t even tapped into transformations yet

 

[The White Crane]

Whitebeard Pirates got wiped out for nothing.

Ace died for nothing.

 

[Kurozumi Wiwi]

Luffy couldn't use G2/G3 without drawback and didn't have access to G4 yet, even if you ignore everything else the mastery of his fruit was nowhere near as good as it was in Wano.

 

[DenifClock]

The closest he was to death was in Impel Down, not Marineford.
If anything, he should have awakened it when he was undergoing the treatment my Iva

 

[Taolaoxitbop]

He havent even git haki, gear 4 that time. Why that even a question?
