General & Others Did Oda retcon the restarting your heart in G5 thing?

It was never meant to be a permanent fix. Not only is Luffy expending a huge amount of haki and pushing his body beyond its limits he's also probably expending alot else. Like the mind is creative but it does run off of energy. Brain is one of the most energy extensive body parts.

1. Vs Kaido was the equivalent to getting a near fatal bullet wound or car accident. G5 acted as a defibrillator to restart his heart. Vs Kizaru was the equivalent to running a marathon. He’s totally out of stamina but there’s no lethal damage. Really his health is in no danger at all, he just needs time to recover. A defibrillator wouldn’t do anything here.

2. Since he was literally resurrected from the dead against Kaido, Oda could take artistic license to make that work however the hell he wanted, hopefully for the first and last time, and he decided to resurrect Luffy back into fighting shape.
But why make fluffy run out of g5 in the first place he could have removed that panel and it won't affect the fight or the story

For one thing, it clearly demonstrates that Luffy needed to use techniques which exhausted his stamina in order to tag Kizaru, and it was nowhere near as one sided as many people like to believe.

As for how it will affect the story moving forward, we’ll have to see. Someone feeding Luffy is turning into a plot point of note.

It’s plot. Oda just needed Luffy & Kizaru to be sidelined for the flashback & Saturn/Bonney stuff.

The alternative is saying that 1 or 2 rounds with Kizaru was more draining for Luffy than when he was presumed dead.

He had an entire night and plenty of food to rest. It’s like saying Luffy was nerfed against katakuri cause he used gear 4 against cracker lmao
The only drawback of gear4 is luffy being unable to use haki for 10 minutes
Meanwhile g5 sucks the living soul out of luffy
And funny on the “ entire night “
This is an escape arc buddy
Luffy and the gang prob just fought the seraphims and had a bit of rest
It’s not like he slept the entire night and is at full health

Either Oda retconned Luffy's abilities or Kaido's strengthen.

The only other option of Luffy's abilities was that both Lucci and Kizaru hit Luffy so hard that he couldn't do that while Kaido was hitting so soft that he could do.
