One Piece Episode 1072 - The Ridiculous Power! Gear 5 in Full Play

[Afroking]

In anime G5 is even worse. We have the drag pace of Toei and it is even worse

Can't stand this shit.

How do you quantify breaking the internet? What numbers, figures, or statistical methods are you using to determine whether it broke the internet? What sites are you using to gather this information?

Are the sites similar to the one below? I am just curious how you determine what has broken or not broken the internet?

Do not get your pantsu in a twist.

My definition of "breaking the internet" is best described by the reaction to MUI Goku:

You know an anime has truly broken the internet when even non-anime sites are down because of it.

And it even caused an actual diplomatic friction between Japan and Mexico:

Since G5 Luffy only managed to stop a few anime-watching sites or so for a while, thus, naturally, it did not qualify as "breaking the internet" as far as I am concerned.

And even Dragon Balls fans agreed with me:

One Piece Gear 5 fails to surpass Ultra Instinct hype by a great margin, Dragon Ball fans celebrate (sportskeeda.com)

the second best thing about gear 5 is how it makes egdy shonen meatheads mald, its so funny

The animation looks top notch

The problem is with the idea of G5 itself. Luffy is so annoying in G5, the anime couldnt make him more likable.

Actually even more annoying in the anime, having to hear his laugh and the clown music in the background.

Because now the G5 clownery is backed by strange sounds made by the VA, a constant boing boing and trash background music. They could at least change the background music to make things a bit more serious.

Yea that's why this scene was so good, they muted that shit and followed it up with a non clown soundtrack, atmosphere felt ominous.

I noticed this part the first time I watched, that scene of Yamato and lightning is movie quality

 

[Sasaki Kojirō]

Kaido was really excited, I especially liked his Ragnarok.

Hmm seems like G5 figure outline needs to be thicker to resemble cartoon more.

oh hey thats me

i also loved that scene

 

[Psychiatrist]

Very good episode. Definitely Godfy top 1. I dont know how anyone can top luffy now. His power is beyond science, physics and realism.

 

[Strawhats Bible]

This first showing of G5 is just not it...
I tried really hard to like what happened in this fight but it's just bad imo.

Luffy vs Lucci was way more enjoyable, Oda needs balance between goofy and serious shit, to have this against the biggest villain in the series yet is just underwhelming.

Also this weird camaradary between Luffy and Kaido is soooo out of place, Kaido was promising to either enslave and work the alliance to death or just straight up kill them.

So many narrative choices that made this fight lose all tension, just weird decisions all in all.

 

[Akagame]

Not gonna lie, I actually liked the anime's depiction of Gear 5. They could definitely tone it down some on the sound effects after this, but all around I think they did a great job, especially for "Gomu Gomu no Gigante" which I thought came off well. Much better than the last episode.
