General & Others How do you guys feel about the G5 restart retcon?

There's no retcon, Luffy can only do so much. He already used way too much stamina before his fight with Kizaru, it was emphasized. Luffy used Gear 5 twice this arc, which is the same amount of times he used it against Kaido. Whether it's consecutive or not isn't relevant. In fact people were even questioning why Luffy was so tired back when he ran around the lab. It was also stated that awakening is a heavy toll on one's stamina. Luffy can't just "keep restarting his heart."

If you can't keep up it's okay, maybe try the very hungry caterpillar, it might be more your pace.

Title. Imo its a good thing because it keeps fights tense against other top tiers. Infinite G5 would be pretty broken.
Like, why the fuck are you acting like infinite gear 5 was implied by Oda anywhere in this manga?

I think its not a drawback of the fruit but that Shanks put a subconscious suggestion in Luffy by startling him and made him believe that the fruit was rubber fruit and Luffy never in once doubted it. So he believes he is rubber and his imagination is all around this basic thing.
Once he knows its just his body is rubberish and he has the power of imagination that he himself limited. He might lose the plasticity. Its necessary since you see the end game villians are devils themselves. Saturn can regenerate, they prolly have the perennial surgery done over them. Imu looks like a literal devil so the strength is low key necessary. Cant see the drawback lasting long.

Vegapank is going to make Luffy understand his powers like in the hindu mythology Hanuman learnt of his true powers later and manifested them.
