Imo,
G4 boundman -> G4 bubblegumman/rubber ball man
Will bounce the ryou physical attack if opponent has same strength/weaker ryou

G4 snakeman -> G4 dragonman
G4 dragonman with attack name dragon breath + he might have thick ryou armor like dragon scale. Luffy will have ryuu-shaped ryou
:steef:

New, final G4 form, with us also seeing the past forms as well. Boundman's been around a long time now- over five years now. Think it's clear that Oda is moving on from it and it's limitations, that's why Luffy's now using it against actual fodder instead of into being his trump card. There's something new to be seen. A "Perfect" form that combines every other form and his Haki use? I do like Tigerman as a name, but I can't recall Luffy ever using Tiger-themed attacks before.

Awakening will most likely be saved for Vegapunk to fully explain, we might see the first glimpses of it, but Luffy shouldn't be able to control it yet. His focus has been on Haki so far, after all.

Gear 5 will come, that can be a really hype moment for Blackbeard or something.

I've always wondered if Oda would give Luffy a Reverse Gear where he can't stretch in exchange for sheer power. Turning into something like a rubber bullet- I'm no scientist, but then neither is he. Say it's something like improved tautness and tensile strength? Think it would be really cool after years of Luffy getting bigger and faster to have a super powerful final form where he's right back to looking like his base.

A new and last form of Gear 4. It's fitting that Gear 4 also has 4 different forms in which Luffy can tap into, each specializing on different aspects?

That new form will obviously focus on Advanced CoA and the Anime opening might have given us a sneak peak into the transformation.

Gear 5 will be Luffy's final Gear against Blackbeard, Awakening being the main component for it.

I don't think he needs one now that he has adv CoA, more strenght and endurance due to training with seastone handcuffs.
All he needed was a way to bypass kaido's scales. He has one.

Besides Kaido's durability has been retconned by Oda to the point Brook might be able to injure him.

However the fact that Luffy is casually willing to resort to G4 makes me think that he may have something else under his sleeves.

Personnally I just hope that his base is now a lot stronger and that he can use G4 for a few hours.
