Blueno: "We mastered all six powers after years of gruesome training since we were born" Luffy: "Yeah I watched you fighting and I thought it was cool so I tried copying your moves and it worked LOLZ"
Tbf Luffy got advantage coz his rubber body allow him to move faster than normal human body. Just think like this, normal legs need to manually kick to increase the speed of shave, Luffy's legs basically will do that automatically, bouncing back and forth.
I mean. (spoilers ahead) Let's not discount Luffy having years of training with Ace, Sabo and Garp etc. He's always been strong, but coming to the GL is what makes that potential manifest.
@@lagrange777able W7/EL is literally the first time Luffy had to come up with something new to fight his enemies. Everything before this point he was using his base skills but just getting more powerful due to fighting, this was the first arc where that wasn't enough anymore.
I hit that pose at my all American wrestling tournament. My mom kept the trophy but I’ve got the pic of me hitting that second gear on the night stand of my apt. lol kinda lame but I love it.
@@smeartyke nah , I'm saying 2nd gear is my favorite , the fact that one piece is able to hold its audience for so long for over 1100 episodes just goes to show how good it is, normally long shows get repetitive but it's still getting better each episode , the hype never dies
Watching this with fansubs was a different experience, the pause between each word with the different fonts, and written "Gear Secondo" synchronized with Luffy's lines, was just chefs kiss 😘👌
So apparently, “Gears” are one of Oda’s “Oda-isms.” It’s something he’ll say, like “I'm going up a gear,” when he’s trying to increase focus or concentration or pump himself up.
The first appearance of Second Gear is always hype. Fun fact! Go back and watch how Captain Kuro moves his feet before using his super speed, it’s likely an underdeveloped version of Shave!
That special Onigiri technique from Zoro "Enbima Yonezu" translates to Charming Demon, Sleepless Night Onigiri. However, it also has a second meaning: "Shrimp Mayonaise Riceball." More wordplay from Oda!
That slide by when Luffy talk about his friends is so epic. It show exactly how things are in the crew right at that moment. Usopp with his back, Robin looking down and everyone else looking forward.
so here;s the thing about the Gears: Luffy didn't like train offscreen and get these powers, he wouldn't have had any time. He jsut got an idea from fighting CP9 and decided to see and try if he cna do it. and so he did, and it turned out worked. c:
8:32 If you go back and watch the episode where the Straw Heats destroy the Franky House to avenge Usopp, in the first fight, when he destroys the armor of the first one who comes in front of him, Luffy charges a gom gom gatling that makes his arms turn red. That was a hidden clue of the Second Gear. Also around the time these episodes were broadcast, an animated movie came out in which in the final battle Luffy is about to enter Second Gear while losing control of his attack, but is stopped by Zoro and Sanji in combo, who exclaim that if he had continued he would have reached such a power that he would have destroyed the place where they were in the movie
Gear Second is basically using his devil fruit's rubbery elastically to increase his speed of blood flow to enhance his abilities... This Gear second for us old One Piece fans was one of the iconic moments of the whole series. Its a privilege to experience it with you guys...
So when this gear stuff first came out, people were surprised and loved it, but of course you had the people complaining too. They would say: "oh this came out of nowhere, why did they off screen his training for it, etc." But you guys have the benefit of knowing something we didn't know when this episode first came out. Spoilers ahead Luffy having Vice Admiral and hero of the marines, Garp, as the one who raised him and trained him re-contextualizes this and a lot else in the show. Because yes, it is kinda dumb for Luffy to just see Soru and instantly be able to use it, but it makes sense when you understand he has been trained specifically to be able to use it since he was a kid! As for what Second gear and third gear are doing to his body specifically, you'll find out about that later ;)
Luffy basically just has high battle sense. And when he saw them using soru, he got the theory behind how it worked. Then he used his own rubber method to execute the same thing to his body. So it's not related to training etc. he doesn't need training for that. He just observe, understand, and apply basically. So there's nothing wrong with it. If people complain about it, then they are simply overthinking stuffs.. hahaha
Gear Second is a technique where Luffy accelerates his blood flow, boosting his strength, speed, and overall combat abilities. This makes him faster and stronger, with steam rising from his body as a visual cue. It significantly enhances his power but strains his body, limiting how long he can use it. It's a key ability Luffy uses to defeat stronger enemies.
A checkpoint with everyone. It's almost Christmas and I can't believe we joined these ladies with the live action and convinced them to watch the anime. It's like we're teleporting through time and space. Can you believe we're already at Ennies Lobby?? I love how the story grows on these ladies. As much as the story and the characters grow. Don't forget, you are also not the same 2 when you started this Journey. The strawhats are now part of your life like us. Welcome to all Nakamas!
Fun fact, this isn’t actually the first time we seen someone use the shave technique. Captain Kuro was using an unrefined version of it back in syrup village with his pussyfoot maneuver. Oda confirmed in the manga that if Kuro trained it more he would’ve unlocked the full potential of shave
Is easily a ten. The emotions you feel for the characters, the powerful moments and the magnitude of these events. One Piece is so brilliant. This is my absolute favorite arc and this episode is one of the big moments!
About Luffy putting work offscreen, the fans have a gag theory that him and Sanji fight every night while Sanji is protecting the fridge from Luffy eating all the food. 😂
We actually saw a small preview of Gear 2 when Luffy and the Bois destroyed Franky’s house! Luffy did a Gatling on the big guy where his arms start to get pink!
Luffy's battle IQ is probably one of the highest in the OP universe, when it comes to fighting, he's a total genius, man can develop a new super technique mid-battle. I don't know if the technical aspect behind gear 2 been explained yet, so, I guess you'll see how that work later.
Watch “Olympics Miltiadis Tentoglou” long jump. He did the gear second pose then went on to crush everyone and win gold and has stayed the long jump goat to this day
For note Luffy came up with gear second during movie, its not copying cp9 techniques. It's his own technique he came up with during movie when he was punching really fast beyond his limit and he discovered his hands actually heated and became more powerful. Though Cp9 techniques and g2 are similar
I'm not sure, but I believe Luffy always had motivation to become stronger nonetheless, it is just that Zoro was his dream, was needed to achieve his dream, in a similar fashion Luffy needs to get stronger, but his dream didn't require him to be the strongest among anything. Well, just saying, but I get it hahaha
When heated, rubber got more elasticity. When freezed it's the opposite. Of course we talk about controlled temperature, not too hot or too cold. Too hot then rubber will melt. So other than sharp object (ex:Crocodile stab Luffy), Aokiji also counter Luffy's rubber body.
We're finally getting into gears! And it's not getting any less cooler!😏 (It's nor shave, that's just how Bluemo made sense of it. He's just fast as fck.)
Since the six powers exist in this world non-exclusively, you can learn it. And Luffy's Second Gear is his way of attaining Shave - though of course, like the other six powers he developed it organically and he doesn't call it Shave.
Well, until this point the strawhats have been able to get by and overpower most of their opponents. Now they've reached a point where they're no longer just equal or superior to their opponents, so there has to be some type of powerscaling in order to establish where our main cast stands in comparison to other, new characters.

the first appearance of the second gear is so iconic
GOATED
still the best introduction of any gear.
🔥🔥🔥
Gear Second*
i do love the movie where he used second gear for the first time. That explanation of how he came up with it was pretty good in my opinion.
Fun Bit: the Second Gear pose is so iconic, a few athletes did it during the Tokyo Olympics.
Isn't it just a regular Sumo Pose?
@@MortimerFolchert search Sumo Pose and see if its anywhere near 2nd Gear pose to answer your question.
Karim Adeyemi and Julian Brandt did it as goal celebration
@@MortimerFolchert no 💀
I believe it's been imitated a few times by UFC fighters as well
“the dumbest genious” and “the smartest idiot” made me laugh so loud 😂
That's quite accurate for Luffy. 😂
My man Luffy is a bona fide idiot savant 😂
i think dumbest genius is better 😂😂
Blueno: "We mastered all six powers after years of gruesome training since we were born"
Luffy: "Yeah I watched you fighting and I thought it was cool so I tried copying your moves and it worked LOLZ"
LOL, when they look at you and say ohh, i can do that too. no big deal lol.

Latest chapters filled my saul with joy.

@@gyomeihimejima1625 i have a feeling he does
Very nice
Luffy isn't a (total) idiot. He just maxed out his emotional and battle intellegance and forgot about every other stat
Accurate 💯
I hit that pose at my all American wrestling tournament. My mom kept the trophy but I’ve got the pic of me hitting that second gear on the night stand of my apt. lol kinda lame but I love it.
its not lame, its awesome. keep it up
Olympians do it too. No shame in that.
Dude it ain't lame. It's peak!
fym lame, saw mfs at the olympics hittin that pose
What motivated you can never be lame.
16:20 Was he about to bite his hand? Is he gonna turn into a TITAN?? 🤣
Oh how legendary it would have been!
I mean they r not completely wrong tho 😀

There is that one episode where he becomes a giant. 😅
Tatakae!!!

Majority of OP Arcs are peak
To this day , this transformation is still my favorite , I remember being so hyped for this when i was watching 🔥
Me too.. There was no spoilers.. Nothing.. When I watched it
Same, its so dope.
Are you saying that novelty weears off?

Yea
A guy in the olympics copied the 2nd gear stance before a long jump performance, then going on to win the gold medal. A legend and a man of culture.
The greek guy. “Miltiadis Tentoglou” is his name
Watching this with fansubs was a different experience, the pause between each word with the different fonts, and written "Gear Secondo" synchronized with Luffy's lines, was just chefs kiss 😘👌
I was lucky enough to not get spoiled about anything in One Piece. So whenever I watched this scene years ago it was simply cathartic.
"He is pink he is bubblegum now!!!" Loved that comment xD
Blueno's beatdown is so memorable. The smug grin literally punched off his face
So apparently, “Gears” are one of Oda’s “Oda-isms.” It’s something he’ll say, like “I'm going up a gear,” when he’s trying to increase focus or concentration or pump himself up.
well it's like cars, you switch a gear up and the car goes faster
It's a common expression, we live in a car-dominated society
When it comes to battle, Luffy understands what needs to be done. He is skilled with his fruit and gets the most out of it.
Gear 2 was the talk of the school after the episode came out in my high school days. I still remember it like it was yesterday.
The first appearance of Second Gear is always hype.
Fun fact! Go back and watch how Captain Kuro moves his feet before using his super speed, it’s likely an underdeveloped version of Shave!

More wordplay from Oda!
20:52 "This is gonna be a 'Big News' " lmao
Those who know 🪿🪿
Only show that can make a person hype for reading the news
BIG NEWS!
That slide by when Luffy talk about his friends is so epic.
It show exactly how things are in the crew right at that moment.
Usopp with his back, Robin looking down and everyone else looking forward.
The way he speed blitzed blueno is still so funny to me😭
"He's bubble gum fruit" 😂😂
To me this is the best Arc like every episode is jam-packed
Water 7 and Enies Lobby made me even more invested to get the One Piece fr
One of the most iconic scenes in peak piece!
Second gear still gives me goosebumps
I mean after 1100+ episode this GEAR still gives me goosebumps. Enjoy it Girls
Just when I thought I couldn't love Luffy more, Oda goes and drops 2nd Gear.
While not the smartest Luffy is a fighting savant
Luffy being rubber, i think, was how he was able to quickly learn shave compared to any other 6 techniques.
so here;s the thing about the Gears:
Luffy didn't like train offscreen and get these powers, he wouldn't have had any time.
He jsut got an idea from fighting CP9 and decided to see and try if he cna do it.
and so he did, and it turned out worked. c:

Bullshit
This moment was huge; seeing Luffy getting a power up as a kid was a shock!
mfs was posing like Luffy in the Olympics and shitt too 😭
16:16 nicholas light said the same thing when luffy was about to bite his thumb 😂😂
that "rooooobiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnn, i come to get youuu!!" always giving me goosebumps
One of the best iconic moments in ONE PIECE🔥
Absolutely LOVE the second gear moment! Watching Luffy switch from getting beat by Bleuno to absolutely DESTROYING him!

I still get chills how Bruno reacted to Luffy getting serious... and "our" sisters reciton to it xD !!!!!
Just want to say thank you, rewatching onepiece again and again never been this much fun! I am really happy!!
This was the only other moment save for Luffy putting his hat on Nami back in Episode 37 that really HOOKED me back to this series.
16:19 "Is he going to be a TITAN!??" somehow thats kinda right 😂
Luffy shouting for Robin at the Enies Lobby Gate✨✨💯
Luffy is definitely a battle genius 60% of his brain is for fighting the other 40% is for eating
Gear 2nd was first hinted at the franky house when luffy punched through their armour.
HOW DARE RUclips HIDE THIS FROM ME FOR 2 MINS 30S

Whoever is responsible for the thumbnails, great job!
This was truly the best episode to come out on my birthday. A perfect gift!
Luffys gear pose goes so hard, every time
Explanation will come dont worry
Bite into a titan is crazy work ❤️🤣🤣
16:19 luffy doing an eren and turning into the gum gum titan 😂. Their aot reactions crossing over into op.
Superheated rubber vulcanizes and becomes incredibly hard, like a hockey puck.
When heated, rubber got more elasticity. When freezed it's the opposite.
Of course we talk about controlled temperature, not too hot or too cold.
Too hot then rubber will melt.
So other than sharp object (ex:Crocodile stab Luffy), Aokiji also counter Luffy's rubber body.
So close. We are so close
We're finally getting into gears!
And it's not getting any less cooler!😏
(It's nor shave, that's just how Bluemo made sense of it. He's just fast as fck.)
I have been waiting for this reaction video since the start😅 and more exiting and epic episodes are coming!
Since the six powers exist in this world non-exclusively, you can learn it. And Luffy's Second Gear is his way of attaining Shave - though of course, like the other six powers he developed it organically and he doesn't call it Shave.
this is where the battles in One piece levels up.
Imagine not knowing why Luffy is a "battle genius" and finding out later about Garp. Live action kinda took that feeling away
I can't wait to see your reaction when the Straw Hat team fights cp9, like Chopper, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Franky.
For anyone reading the manga right now, best moment of our lives. No doubt about it
Luffy‘s first serious Update/Power Boost.
YEEEESSSS it's here, the best moment in anime history. 😂🥰
Merry Christmas everyone.
Finally guys they are here🥹♥️♥️
Wow that's a awesome name " Dumbest genius, Smartest idiot" 😅
Luffy saw the sea train, and thought, "i could do that."
The only drawback for me personally is that after this arc the anime focus so much on powerscaling. But that's just me.
Well, until this point the strawhats have been able to get by and overpower most of their opponents.
Now they've reached a point where they're no longer just equal or superior to their opponents, so there has to be some type of powerscaling in order to establish where our main cast stands in comparison to other, new characters.
Vulcanization. Rubber is heated to a high temperature, and the strengthens.
