Future Events G2 and G3 are practically useless now.

[Tai long]

Oda will rarely draw luffy use g2 or g3 anymore. G2 especially if the opponent is strong enough to make fluffy fight a bit seriously, then luffy will spam g5 since oda is obsessed with drawing it, fluffy used it against a goddamn snake for crying out loud.
Now that he can partially use g4, g3 is practically useless also.

Luffy new fighting sequence (note Oda can skip straight to g5 since he loves it)
1. Base fluffy
2. G2/3 (he probably will never use it again)
3. Partial G4
4. full G4 (probably will never or use it again)
5. G5
6. advcoc G5

fluffy will probably not use advcoc outside going all out which means he would have used g5 already.

Luffy will probably use g2/g3 to fight fodder. Or while g4/g5 are on cool down.

 

[Kiiro]

It all depends on what he wants, what he needs and who he fights.

He used Gear 4th for a Number, which IMO was overkill for him

 

[Garps tekkai]

The partial Boundman moves might be too slow, pratically making them the new G3 moves, which atleast might make room for Roc attacks, who are mostly weaker than Boundman's, but faster, and prolly stronger than Snakeman's, but slower.

But yeah either G2 or G3 alone will become very rare I think. Especially the former. Atleast G3 often gets used for punking bigger opps.

 

[Sentinel]

But isn't the whole "partial G4" the point that Luffy no longer suffers from that cool down because he isn't permanently using hardening.

 

[SkySanji]

Not neccessarily, partial G4 could still take more stamina than G3/G2, just less than a full G4 transformation.

 

[LemonadeCandy]

Tbh seeing how little Oda cared in portraying the drastic jump in strength between G2 and G3 and between G3 and G4 in the Kaido fight, I see very little point in the partial G4 thing.

It just doesn't feel like a very exciting improvement when Kaido was reacting to G4 the exact same way he was reacting to G2/G3.

 

[Brush D. Teeth]

Should using armament be a problem when in G5 he is spamming ACoC?

 

[JoNdule]

Partial G4 isn't practical against strong opponents

But yeah Oda loves g5 , Luffy won't be using g2/g3 in fights anymore even against villains that are YC level

He will just restrain Luffy from using adhaki

Oda doesn’t measure stamina. Either he is out of stamina or still at 100%

 

[trav]

Next lvl Godffy will just will fists into existence with his borrowed Joyboy haki from the straw hat.

No need for any gears.

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

I assumed 2nd and 3rd gear would get fizzled out after G4 happened.

But yeah I can see them getting the boot for real now. Especially since Kong Gun can be performed with partial transformation which just makes 3rd gear redundant.

 

[gz89]

Luffy shouldnt even use any gear for fodders at this point. A basic gatling gun should be able to destroy an army of Hody Jones but its a kids manga so he will use G4 against random animals..

Way slower than normal g4

 

[MonsterKaido]

G2 probably not. G3 yes. Don't see the point in G3 now unless there is some drawback in using G4 attacks in base.

 

[Luffy is the mc]

Gears are useless just because Oda loves his stupid gags. Base Luffy is G5 Nika now, a fucking clown.

 

[Blax Blah]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

 

[Daniel]

The constant progression of Luffy's abilities stemming from his Devil Fruit gives birth to new abilities/forms more advanced and powerful than the last.

It's expected that with Luffy having access to his JoyBoy form, the less powerful forms that he has in his arsenal are irrelevant as of now.

 

[sanjikun]

They'll be used for Mid Tiers when base is not enough, and Luffy doesn't bust out awakening or ACoC.

He used an Elephant move against the giant.

 

[Sentinel]

It makes up for a more consistent usage which increases the performance on the longrun. That's why it isn't decreasing Luffy's performance if he uses G2 on his arms partially.

Also, he enlargens the muscle groups in one limp and he still can use the same tensile force as shown in the current chapter. So he still hits fast as well.

On the other hand, moves like "geppou" (I call it that) are not possible if he doesn't turn his entire body into a muscle balloon or at least his legs.

They'll be used for Mid Tiers when base is not enough, and Luffy doesn't bust out awakening or ACoC.

He used an Elephant move against the giant.

Luffy also used G3 on Warcury, so Oda definitely still draws Luffy's lower gears against top tiers.
