Actually, he might he been pushed out of G5 due to Kaido's powerful hit.
In that case, hit that beat stamina restart doesnt even exist. It was just situational.
I dont think so brother, after he was hit he was still in G5 and then he slowly exited it, its likely that he just reached his limit and then he restarted it again.

In that case, he should have been able to do it vs Kizaru as well.
In that case, his G5 would have no drawback.
While all previous gears had...
Makes sense to me but I dont mind either way.

It hasn't been retconned, we'll definitely see Luffy use G5 multiple times back to back in the future, as I said in the previous thread, it's just being ignored for the sake of plot right now.

Beast Pirates were just bums and made the straw hats look stronger than they were. Zoro looked like a top tier after KOH and now can barely get past Stussy's sloppy second nails with aCOC.
You are literally fueled by hate its unbelievable, relax these are cartoons bro.

Yeah hence why Im asking if this is a retcon, its possible and not the first time Oda retconned powers.

It's Oda being a dumbass and writing himself into a corner.

He's made Luffy to strong so he has to have this PIS stamina drawback which he can use to then take Luffy out of the story for however long he wants. I still remember the whole '10 minute drama' in Dressrosa with Gear 4.

Logically we know Luffy can put down Admirals and go toe to toe with Yonkos so Oda has to make Luffy do stuff like fool around randomly go interrupting people's fights just so his opponents don't get stomped low diff. Take Lucci for example Luffy went full throttle and absolutely negged him.

Luffy when he finally went serious against Kizaru hit him and knocked him down we all know this was Oda's way of taking both Luffy and Kizaru out of the story just so we can start the flashback.

Honestly the whole stamina draw back is honestly the worst writing I've seen of Oda as he's trying to force tension and uses it inconsistently which is infuriating. He honestly should have just made Gear 5 have limits with the powers not stamina.

Why is everyone ignoring the fact that he did use it multiple times this arc?

oda could have just done fluffy vs kizaru like zoro vs lucci and still had the flash back I don't know why he had to make both immobile, maybe he needs fluffy to see kuma

Because he needed both Luffy and Kizaru down them two would be destroying everything around each other.

Oda needed the fake tension of Bonney stabbing Saturn then Kuma arriving etc. It's clear Oda can't write Luffy in the story while also trying to make the crew look like under dogs.
