Hey everybody, I haven't made a thread here for quite some time (I guess it's coz I couldn't enjoy the writing in Wano lately) but the lost chapter sparked a little hope, a very fragile hope in my heart that Oda might've woke up and realized that he should change things and the recent change of editor is a good sign, a very good sign. So, now I wanna share my thoughts about gear 5th and gear 4th that occured in my head after reading the latest chapter so, let's get into it.
Did Luffy mastered gear 4th?
Previously gear 4th was the last reserve, samthing that Luffy would use only if he had no other choice but to use it, even against Big Mom and Kaido Luffy didn't use gear 4th at the beginning but only when he felt that there is no other option and the reason behind it, is because gear 4th has a massive drawback so, Luffy uses it when he has a chance to finish the fight quickly or if the aponnent is so strong that he has to, but, recently Luffy is using it irresponsibly, he's using it in cases when he shouldn't use it especially when he has to fight against Kaido like for example here
At first I made the mistake thinking that Oda fu'ked things up again, but with recent chapter I changed my mind. First, if we look at the panel we can see that Law is using regular room and Kid uses an unknown thecnique that I'm pretty sure isn't his strongest and even if it is I don't think it has a drawback unlike gear 4th. Gear 4th makes Luffy weak, it uses Luffy's stamina and this is why Luffy can't use it before the final fight but it was one example so I didn't pay too much attention to it.
But in fight against Ulti Luffy was ready to use it (ok, listen guys, this is not about Ulti or her power level so please don't tell me how strong she is) regardless how strong Ulti is Luffy could've easily finish her whiteout gear 4th, usually Luffy would take the damage in this scenario instead of using gear 4th since gear 4th would be more harmful for Luffy than a punch from someone weaker than Luffy, against whom he can use CoA in order to minimse the damage given by Ulti, but instead of that Luffy decides to use Gear 4th (as if it was gear 2th/3th) which makes me believe that Luffy might have mastered gear 4th since Luffy learned advanced CoA which should have impacted on Luffy's gear 4th
The core of gear 4th is haki and because of that people have been theorizing/speculating that if Luffy learns advanced CoA he would be able to use gear 4th whiteout time limit and as we can see Luffy is indeed using gear 4th more often after learning advanced CoA and as we know after mastering the previous gear Oda introduces the new one.
Gear 5th is in our doorstep.
If Luffy mastered gear 4th (and it's seems he has) then, that would mean that gear 5th is coming and Wano is the best arc to introduce it since Luffy is going against Yonko and Luffy needs new gear since gear 4th is Fodder level compared to Yonko. The gap between Luffy's gears is Big for example, compere gear 2th to 3th or gear 3th to gear 4th with every gear Luffy jumps into a new tier, with gear 5th Luffy will jump into a fully top tier and will become Yonko level but that power will come with heavy price since Luffy's gears always have a drawback and after Wano Luffy will try to master his new gear. It has been speculated that samthing big should happen in chapter 1000th, since there's no way that Kaido is getting defeated in chapter 1000th then I'd say that Oda will introduce gear 5th in chapter 1000th, I can already see how in the last page of chapter 1000th Luffy says "gear 5th" and break next week. ๐
