I just can’t understand the reasoning behind it and why Oda chooses to draw Luffy in G5 at every chance he gets.
It makes Luffy look weak, the fact that he needed G5 to fight against Lucci and Kizaru and the giant animals makes it look like he’s YC level without it.
So why does Oda the fucker insists on doing this and shitting on his own MC?
Goku wasn’t spamming Super Saiyan, Naruto wasn’t spamming Bijuu Mode and Ichigo wasn’t spamming Bankai
You first fight with your base mode, wear your opponent down and only use your transformation at the end, this is strategy.
