Powers & Abilities Luffy won’t use g2, 3 and 4 anymore

#1
Why would he use those forms if he can use all of them in g5 without any drawback. So most of luffy’s fight would be either base luffy or g5.
If an opponent is strong enough to give Luffy challenges in base he would go straight to g5.
The only thing g5 can’t do is fly and I think oda would find a way to make luffy fly using g5

He kinda stopped using Gear 2 & 3 after showing Gear 4 in Dresserosa. So I think Luffy is only going to be using Gear 4 & 5 only till the story ends. Unless he can mix Gear 2 & 3 while in Gear 4 or 5. There are no major opponents left that can be defeated by Gear 2 or 3 anyway. Gear 4 is the minimum needed and that even may be not enough

Why would he use g4 when it has a time limit

Even if luffy use g2 and g3 it would be on rare occasions

I think he will still use 2 and 3 from time to time
But 4, I don't think with all it's drawbacks, Luffy gonna use that ever again

It'd be waste to throw away G2/3/4 i think oda will still use them somehow combining with G5 similar to how naruto used sage jutsu with KCM.
The other gears are gone remember gomu gomu doesn't exist it was luffy not able to fully transform into nika now he has nika which is a god zoan why is he gonna now transform into his pre awakened form which was accidental g5 may have variations that pay homage to old gears but he won't go back to the whole old gear style his fruit is normal now

G4 is the form that seems less useful now. G2/G3 stills Steve their purpose as ways for Luffy to have a range of moves whilst still holding back. Opting for G4 over G5 is the one that doesn't have much reasons in my opinion since G4 has so many drawbacks.

Using gears (or zoan/hybrid/awakening forms) probably taxes the stamina, We see zoans switching back to base many times even when you might think that they don't need to. While all zoans have three distinct forms, human, zoan, hybrid. But it seems Oda has left himself quite some room to do other things with this.

We know base Luffy and awakening (G5), but which of his forms is the zoan or the hybrid. Is the awakening of the Mythical Zoans their zoan forms or their hybrid is their awakening?

Regular Zoans:
Zoan, Human/Base, Hybrid, Awakening

Mythical Zoans:
1. Sengoku (Base and Zoan or is his Budha form his Hybrid or Awakening)
2. Marco (Base and Zoan and partial transformation, which one is zoan, hybrid and awakening)
3. Yamato (Base, Zoan, Hybrid, what about the similar clouds, is her zoan or hybrid her awakening)
4. Kaido (Base, Zoan and Hybrid, does he have awakening?)
5. Orochi (Base and Zoan)
6. Devon (Base and hybrid/zoan, can't remember which was shown)
7. Luffy (Base and awakening, what are his zoan and hybrid)

Seems like mythical zoans are just for Oda to do whatever the heck he wants (not that it is limited to just this when it comes to Oda), there seems to be zero consistency.

Gear 2 and 3 had basically just become part of his base moveset ever since the timeskip so it's fine.

I agree though that G4 is probably being phased out unless he can actually combine G4 and 5 somehow.
