Powers & Abilities Gear 5 sucks ass

[EmperorKinyagi]

I’m still not sure what exactly this shit can do that makes it better than gear 4.

It clearly allows Luffy to stretch anything he touches and gives him more freedom.

Can you please explain to me what “more freedom” even means specifically and why it’s good in combat?

You guys do realize Luffy broke an island even bigger than Onigashima with Gear 4 back in Dressrosa right?

stop being mad and actually read and use your eyes and you will see what it can do.

I am waiting to see what it adds to the table but it doesn't seem anymore effective TBH

Luffy literally still plays around (Kaidou confirms it) while exploring this mode. Laughing and goofing around, experimenting with elements etc.

 

[Hanners220]

I think Gear 5 is neat!

 

[Welkin]

I doubt even Luffy knows everything he can do with it yet

He was thinking about the names he should give his attacks mid fight lol

It's a form that has yet to be fully explored

 

[Monkey D Theories]

did y'all not see the island-busting punch?

 

[Franosuke]

It has potential but Luffy seems like he doesn't exactly know what he wants to do with it

The majority of the benefit seems like it's in the form of defense i.e. recovery, stamina, etc.

We'll see how much damage Luffy actually does with this punch to see if his attacks truly got that much stronger

As Oda wrote, it mostly allows him to overcome "limitations". Gear 4 has a strict Haki limit. Gear 5 doesn't. Gear 4 would get clobbered in 1-2 hits, Gear 5 can tank multiple attacks.

But offensively ACoA Kong Gatling has been Luffy's best move so far. It's the only one that took temporarily took Kaido out, and he was close to 100% freshness.

Imagine adding ACoC to that^. But Oda took a dive the second he decided to use Snakeman (plus CP0).

No lmfao wtf

"Hey Oden are you going to beat Kaido?" Yamato asks.

"I'm not Oden, I'm Luffy. The man who will become the World's Strongest Swordsman!" Luffy screams as he grabs the giant katana.

He tanks more attacks way easier, and by changing the environment into rubber it also helps him quite a lot

He is doing damage way easier than before, while actually having fun and experimenting new stuff mid battle, since the Gear 5 is completely new to him, as for Gear 4 he trained it for 2 years and knows its limitations. That is insane

This punch of the size of Onigashima might be Luffy getting just serious now, meaning we might not even be scratching the surface of his full potential in Gear 5.

Luffy in Gear 4 was desperate to win and running out of time, used his best moves but couldn't beat Kaido (and certainly wouldn't, despite Mr.Go's intervenience)

It's on a whole other level

Admiral fan crying because Kaido confirmed haki is above all else

Actually Kaido is just coping because he knows he isn't right at all

 

[KonyaruIchi]

Yeah because G4 can totally turn the environment into rubber, tank way more hits than G5 and make island-sized punches. Seriously, G4 is shown to be almost a more limited version of G5, Luffy basically pushed his fruit to the limit pre-awakening, that was G4. With G5 he basically fights with little to no restrictions, although we still don't know exactly how it affects his health, it's clearly superior in power output

And that’s good in combat because???

Did you not see Gear 4 bust a bigger island in Dressrosa?

And admirals are irrelevant. Haki > df

That’s why Blackbeard is the next villain, because of his haki—

Wait.

Gear 5 gives Luffy more freedom to fool around when fighting because it can resurrect him if he dies.
