G5!!!! I'm on the fence regarding the reveal though. I think it's great and fitting in some ways, kinda too much in others. Complete freedom obviously reflects Luffy quite well and even getting to goof off and go cartoony is a good representation of that, plus the fruit's name is fitting (shame the Sun Wukong isn't the case for all those hoping for that but human human, model Nika works really well). On the other hand, the whole "it's the most ridiculous power" is a but excessive but expected. I guess, I wish it was more of Luffy's awakening being kinda over-the-top but not top 1 in anyway but I'm still enjoying this.
Thank goodness, Sanji's awake. I didn't want him in deep sleep while staff's going down. But at this point, only things he can do are observe (even if only with observation haki from far) Luffy whoop Kaido, find the poneglyph or face the last CP0 guy on the island.
Gear 4 with no haki?! Nika fruit too op. He's doing regular awakening stuff like changing environment, along with broken stuff like going full-cartoon on Kaido. I always really enjoy Luffy fights and I hope this one continues to be great in it's own way.
I imagine that technically that didn't happen for real, so at least Popeye is not technically omniversal since a cartoon can't kill somebody in real life unless they make it happen too

There is no freedom in Luffy's character anymore Tommy. Is he free as a person? Well yes, he isn't imprisoned and he is a captain of his own crew but he is bound by the chosen stuff which completely kills off what Oda tried to build over 23 years of writing.
In my thought how is luffy now able to counter blackbeard ?
He needed the awakening for kaido but that is actually useless if BB touches luffy and what is BB awakening like with 2 DF that worries me
Some Trivia: (Please keep this here, gonna keep it Updated)
01. In Romance Dawn Version 2, Garp said that Luffy's DF is worth 5 Billions (Same as Ope Ope No Mi & Whitebeard's Bounty)
02. A Fan asked Oda why he chose Rubber DF for Luffy (Which was described as a Weak Ability). This was Oda's Answer:
"Ahaha, that is true. It must seem like a Mystery when you consider all the other strong and cool abilities. The answer is simple. I have picked the (Most Ridiculous Ability). If the protagonist were the typical strong guy, I doubt I could continue on with this for long. No matter how serious the story gets, Luffy is there to stretch and inflate. He always give me a chance to fool around. That's the kind of Manga I wanted to write."
03. In Chapter 990, Hyogoro described Luffy as a Guardian Deity or Wisdom King
04. In Chapter 685, this Scene happened between Luffy & Momo
05. This is the 5th Time that a DF was described with a Unique Word:
Enel's DF was described as "Invincible"
Blackbeard's DF was described as "Unique"
Law's DF was described as "Ultimate"
Katakuri's DF was described as "Special"
Luffy's DF was described as "Legendary" or "Most Ridiculous"
06. It's curious that we have seen Multiple Users of same DF (Momo's Case is different) from Paramecia & Logia Classes but Oda never done that before with Zoan. It should also be noted that Vegapunk & Caesar were only able to make Zoan DF & it's only Type that can be fed to Objects. This means there is high chance, Three Types of Devil Fruits don't have same Origin! Each Type is completely different.
07. It's interesting to note that Oda made Jinbe the only one who could donate his Blood to Luffy after his Fight with Hody & not only Jinbe was from "Sun Pirates" but Who's Who suggested that there is a Connection between Sun Pirates & Sun God Nika. (Who happened to be Jinbe's Opponent during the Raid out of all SHs)
08. Calgara's Daughter from Skypiea Flashback said that she is gonna meet Sun God after being Sacrificed. On the other side of the world, we also have Elbaf Giants who celebrate "Death & Rebirth of The Sun"
09. When Ace was fighting Blackbeard, they described their Final Attacks as "Sun vs Darkness". Not only Luffy is now Sun God Nika, but he was also said to have inherited Ace's Will.
10. Oda said that Flower that bests represents Luffy is "Sunflower". Straw Hats Ship is also named "Thousand Sunny"
11. Romance Dawn Version 1 says that Luffy's DF comes from "Legend Tree" that only appears once every 50 Years. It's interesting to note that not only Luffy's DF is described as Legendary but there is also a Tree called "Sunlight Tree Eve" which gives Light to Fishmen Island.
(The Sun is praised a lot by Fishmen, especially Otohime & Shirahoshi)
12. Dunno if this is Relevant, but 50 Years before Current Time marks the Events of Brook's Flashback, in other words his Death/Rebirth & also Yorki's Last Appearance, this Flashback is also strongly linked to Bink's Sake Song.
13. Some of Bink's Sake Lyrics include: "Now the waves are dancing, Beat upon the drums.... If you lose your nerve this breath could be your last.... But if you just hold on, The morning sun will rise" & then " .....But don't look so down, For tomorrow night The Moon will also rise!"
(This is clearly related to Toki's Prophecy, Luffy, Zoro ... etc. Use your Imagination)
14. A Fan asked Oda to provide him with Lyrics for Luffy's Skypiea Song, this was his Answer:
Luffy: Yo. Huh? You want to hear my song? Sure, no problem.
"Hmmmm-hmhmhmhmm
In the Eastern islaaands, the Sun is early to riiiiiisssseee!
Gets'em all hyper hyper, its people are foooooolllllsss!
In the Western islaaands, the nights are looonnggg!
Gets your body itchin for action, its people are fooooollllsss!
Aaaaahh, ah ah ahaaaa... that was a yaaaawnnnn!
Everyone's a smiley smiley fooooooooolllll!"
15. Sun Symbol of Sun Pirates is basically Mark of Celestial Dragons Rebranded, this alongside WsW Description of Nika & Gorosei's Entire Conversations, not to mention that Luffy is fighting a Dragon right now seems to indicate that there is a very strong Connection between "Sun God" & "Dragons". (PS: Luffy's Father is named Dragon & his Ship is designed after one, Sun God's Eyes seems to be same as Mihawk who's name Dracule means Dragon, and also Imu-Sama who is Leader of Celestial Dragons, not to mention that the one who stole Luffy's Fruit is Shanks whose Ship is also designed after a Dragon ... etc)
16. Another interesting Detail is found in Chapter 436, Icerburg said that if Luffy wants to become Pirate King then he needs to sail on a Ship that is King of The Beasts (Same as Kaidou's Epithet) & the Ship happens to be named "Thousand Sunny"
Thanks for post this thread mate this is what im lookin for.
Even its a little to late coz now gomu2 confirmed with other name.
So much i want to comment, but i got something to do i will comment later.

it's stupid dude , he's not just rubber , he's :
- Rubber
- Fire
- Wierd goo in the head
- Cartoons
- Literally wheatever the fuck your head can come up with if you take too much LSD
the Popeye comparisons is a good one, because one of the things that "awakening" gives Luffy's fruit is "freedom". And that "freedom" allows Luffy to fight as he wants, and in this case (for now) it's to fight as if he were a cartoon, with all sorts of crazy things.
And as you can see, that doesn't only affect him, it also affects the enemy (that's why Kaidou in one image also looks like someone out of Looney Tunes or something).
