Powers & Abilities What weakness does g5 have

[Garp the Fist]

It’s basically pre-skip Luffy again before we knew what Haki was.

Blunt damage, tanked

Slashes or fire, hurts.

Presumably he’d also be hurt by shockwave stuff like Fishman Karate, Law’s DF, Rokugan.

This weak to slashes nonsense is only pushed by Zoro fans

Pushed by Kaido and Luffy himself aka manga facts aka by Oda himself.
Nothing to do with Zoro fans.

Mihawk is weak to slashes, Zoro will 1 shot him

Mihawk vs Zoro will be more disappointing than than last few pages of Luffy vs Kaido

 

[BillSlipton]

He had to keep his heart rhythm going, who knows how that'll work in the future. Especially because he didn't even trigger the transformation.

Also, the same imagination that gives him power makes it hard to fight. Like he's been clowning around a whole lot and doesn't understand yet how to be devastating.

Because King didn't try to hit him

Delusional shit. Quit making excuses and recognize king is fodder compared

Delusional is a fanfic avatar of Zoro getting beaten by a guy who didn't even want the smoke

Didn't want the smoke? It was zoro crying about "both paths being hard"

Maybe learn to laugh at a joke and not a be a 🤡

 

[Violent Sanji]

I have heard a lot of people say that g5 as a time limit or haki issue, but when was that mentioned in the manga

It shouldn’t have a weakness. But it’s a weird devil fruit that breaks the rules so it might.

 

[BakiDou]

The blue flames of Sanji and Akainus magma are his weakness.

 

[Tai long]

why should it have limit know if luffy would eventually overcome it or do you think luffy would have a particular limit forever

I laugh at funny jokes though

 

[Finalbeta]

I think the greatest problem is about energy consuming like all the other gears Luffy developed at first but this one is quite multiplied that wise if we notice how bad it put Luffy

 

[Killer#777]

Piercing and cutting attacks like always.

 

[Luffy is the mc]

The ridiculousness of the form itself. While in G5, Nika Joy Boy Luffy doesn't dodge anymore, barely makes any attack and prefers playing jumping rope, running in the air and making people's eyes pop out.
He's less good a fighter than he was before and didn't even become a better comic

 

[Kurozumi Giggio]

g5 drains Life Force energy ( life span ) and it's vulnerable to cuts

Sure, Luffy is “weak to slashes” just like everyone else in the verse

Luffy is rubber so blunt attacks even with haki do reduced damage, Lightning does nothing, and this is One Piece so people can facetank Fire. The only thing that will do damage regardless is slashing which applies to everyone

If Mihawk got slashed by Shanks he would go down. Is he “weak to slashes”?

imagine having hands with the same material of hygenic elastic gloves , instead of small cuts you could easily accidentally loose a hand to regular a kitchen knife

 

[Mugiwara56]

Gear 5 has no real weaknesses

 

[ranady]

Sharp objects as it always has been.
Fuckin cracker can tear his hand coated in G4 armament

 

[Screws Loose242]

Why ask what his weakness when he's a DF user

I guess sea water isn't a factor no more

I forget that

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Are people actually that ignorant that they think Luffy are weak to sharp damage even though it got debunked way back in 1998? By that logic, Kidd should be a counter to every swordsman because he can just take the swords away by using magnetic force.

I root for emotional side effect rather than physical, actually. This ability represents Luffy exploiting his inner child, being unrestricted, innocent, and dreamlike. This can also apply to the side effect. What if every time Luffy feels depressed or sad, it will hinder him from achieving more power? What if after G5, he will be drained from positive emotions, while knly emptiness or sadness remains?

This way, after being Hanuman, Bajrang Bali, Heroic God of War and Destruction, he is back to be a child who is in extreme need of emotional support. Thats where his nakamas come to hug him or pat his back or even smile and cry with him, or even thank him sincerely etc. I think this can be a great touch to G5, since it will re-instill the heart-warming vibe in the ability and even in the manga overall.
