I love the parallel here with Enies Lobby. Back then, Robin begged Luffy not to fight CP9 because it would mean declaring war on the world government. Then he said he didn't care and shot down their flag. Here, CP0 is ordered not to fight Luffy because the World Government doesn't want to declare war on an Emperor. Then Lucci said he didn't care and started punching.
So glad the animators changed the style for these last two arcs. I might be wrong, but the wackiness that Gear 5 brings just wouldn't work nearly as well in the early-series "cleaner" look.
I never understood why people said Gear 5 can’t be serious. We find it hilarious because we’re not the ones staring down someone who can distort the world like this, all the while giggling like a mad man. That reflection in Lucci’s eyes is what Kaido and Lucci saw Gear 5 to be, and that’s a scary picture.

I love that Gear 5 doesn't fully activate until he starts laughing at 0:30 and as soon as he does the world begins to change. His laughter is quite literally infectious.
Oh, you awakened, too? Sorry, but you're still not in my league anymore. Once I beat you up, I'll let you fight my swordsman later instead, since you know, that Kaku guy is no longer a match for him, either.
That fake out by playing the 123-1234 melody multiple times to trick you into expecting it, then doing 123 and cutting to silence is one of the coldest "you are out of your depth" moments I've ever seen.
They really do a great job with the gear 5 scenes. It's one of those things that could be SO easy to screw up the portrayal of, but they manage to convey just how utterly TERRIFYING this form is.
1:25 I love this moment. The way Luffy is portraited subverts every fight we saw until now. Then, we saw a man struggling in front of adversities and overcoming them every time through sheer willpower. Now, it's the other way around. His enemies are facing an emperor of the sea, a true monster among men.
@@wannabeyoutuber3056 He isnt. Especialy because those people are on the same side as he is. Gear 5 strikes fear into the enemies with impure hearts but Shanks? Shanks will just laugh with him. XDD

Yeah, the animation reflects Nika’s personality and the awakened Zoan taking over. It’s overflowing with creativity as it has just been reawakened, but the serious laugh once he stares into Lucci’s eyes is perfect.

The way the drums and music suddenly stops, and Luffy is just right there in Lucci’s face is one of the coldest things I’ve seen. This 1:25 is a scary sight.
I mean... Luffy now is a force that very few in the entire world can take on directly without preparations, both in a physical sense and a political one. Luffy may not use the second on his own volition very much as it isnt his style, but now... he is one of the power moving things. Then this... disaster of nature just jumps in front of you without even being able to notice his movement, grinning like a maniac with glowing red eyes... it wouldn't be me because I would have bailed when he was transforming, or better yet, I wouldn't be there if possible.
Luffy beating his chest like Tarzan is something I never knew I needed. This was incredible, I hope the way Luffy speed blitz Lucci is the exact same way they animate a certain metal boy getting a similar treatment…
1:20 I absolutely love this part. There's not even a scene of Luffy lunging towards him, he's alredy there, that's how fast he is And the music cutting off, chef's kiss
Bro this is honestly just as good as the initial reveal tbh. Luffy is an INSANE menace. How can he be so silly but so terrifying at the same time? It really is the "most ridiculous" power.
it takes inspiration of the original sun wukong too, gear 6 is gonna be insane, hopefully we get to see the infamous staff, since luffy's abilities are just like the staff.
@@Alcapwn4bro I thought I was the only one that knew that, I’m praying oda has another training act where he levels up n gets a staff for the finale, would so crazy
@@Alcapwn4 I doubt there's gonna be a gear 6. This seems it, in terms of power ups. The only thing missing is him fully awakening the fruit, but I doubt it will be an entirely different gear. Just 5 gear, awakened.
I just like how Luffy’s power up is so much different from any other anime. You don’t have the typical screaming or charging up pose most shows have, he laughs and jumps around in joy while powering up.
@@monkeydkong3399 exactly. Not to say other anime’s aren’t but One Piece is more focused on being itself and being what it wants to be which gives Oda the freedom to truly write however he sees fit.
Not to mention after beating his chest those haki lightning makes it look like Luffy is transforming into a titan than gear 5 but without needing to bleed
I for one don't like it. Goofiness aside, the cool thing about luffy was how he has been at a disadvantage most of the times. but in truth he possessed the most OP fruit the entire time. The big 3 really loved to picture the MC as the underdog and then give them the most insane powers of the verse, One piece was the exception but alas all roads lead to Rome.
@@RuteFernandes-qs6pcyeah even if they did foreshadow it it's still kinda sad but to be fair he has worked hard to get gear 5 to the point of literally dying
That moment of realization for Lucci when he goes from "pfft, it's like I'm fighting a cartoon character" to "oh sh%t I'm fighting a cartoon character"
@@icarus1455 Well, kinda? Not a serious fight on Luffy's part, but Lucci isn't just fodder. People thinking Luffy will just one-tap any non-yonko need to put the Kaido fight into context. Kaido took like a million hits from him after fighting like everybody while holding up an island. Just because Luffy was capable of doing damage and eventually winning doesn't mean his attack power is so overwhelming that it would take hax to take even one shot.
@@pango4425 Not saying he's gonna one tap him never says anything if the sort ☠️, but dude spends the whole fight bullying him and not even taking him seriously, so yes to Luffy he's fodder, if he beats Luffy it'll be because Luffy either gets jumped or he outsmarts him but rn yeah this fight is just to show his much stronger he's become since then
That moment at 1:18 when Luffy stops laughing at himself and remembers that Luci is there. That slight tone shift gives me chills. Love gear 5 more and more
Don’t think he forgot he was there, I think he was just laughing at the idea Lucci used to scare him and his friends and now it was his turn to be the scary one
@@justjustus7406 I think it's just laughing at Lucci's challenge. Luffy had already batted him around a little, and was easily taking him in Gear 2. Lucci basically asked to die, and Luffy obliged as soon as he was able to stop laughing at the thought of Lucci trying to take him.
I grew up obsessed with Trickster gods. I read all the stories from myths from all over the world. The chaotic deities that flipped the world on its head for S&Gs. Luffy’s laugh before he launched Lucci across the map reminded me of how I’d imagined Coyote laughing at whatever poor sod managed to offend him. Those guys usually ended up less than happy.
Luffy starts spewing conquerors haki and breaking physics on the floor around him. “This’ll be fun” lol it was immensely fun seeing Lucci get ragdolled here😂😂 Egghead has been amazing.
I love how there's barely any frames of Lucci's face of seriousness to surprise when Luffy was inches from his face. And the punch... Wowie it was beautifully brutal, hilarious, and so well animated.
I love how batshit insane Luffy looks and acts while laughing and jumping like a maniac. Toei did an incredible job at portraying how, despite its "goofy" appearance, Gear 5 can be so sinister and dreadful.
@@SlideIXThe point of my comment is exactly this. We already had a glimpse of Gear 5's destructive power and what was able to do during the fight with Kaido, but from Lucci's point of view Luffy looks far more sinister than it was ever showed, which is funny considering how in this scene is still acting as the "silly laughing man"; in fewer words, I already understood what those powers were capable of, but up to this point I never realized how TRULY terryifing Luffy can be in this form. It probably helped how this "fight" with Lucci (which was more a disrespect than everything ahaha!) showed how powerless he was despite his new power-up.
I don't always love the chaoticness of Gear 5 and how it can make the animation sometimes almost indecipherable... but GOD DAMN, that expectation change to the cut from the reflection of Lucci's eye, into showing Luffy's already rocking up to deck him before he even gets a chance to do anything is crazy.
Honestly that's kind of a good thing that it's so chaotic, thinking about it how else do you convey the insanity of someone turning the world around them into a cartoon in the medium of a cartoon. Making it look like he's just breaking the world around him makes sense.
Not enough people are talking about how he transforms into g5 with gear 2 he crouched down but he is literally banging the drums of liberation on his chest! So badass!
No one is talking about because that isn't what happened. He was going to just use Gear 2. But then Lucci asked about his wanted poster, so Luffy got out of the Gear 2 pose and switched to activating Gear 5.
The dynamic between Luffy and Lucci shows the unpredictable nature of Gear 5, oscillating between playful humor and unbridled ferocity. This dichotomy highlights the pure power of the form, making it both fascinating and intimidating. The reflection in Lucci's eyes symbolizes the fear inspired by the unpredictability of Gear 5, echoing Dr. Vegapunk's words about a god who hides his true strength behind a fantasy mask. Nika's ability to play with his opponents, mixing playfulness and menace, makes Gear 5 a force to be reckoned with. I love it
Not to mention the bouncing. Lucci momentum is not allowed to slow down on the ground or find purchase on the ground. The only cushioning he gets is the hard building behinds him.
As someone stated in a video, you don't mess with Luffy's friends or Luffy's food, and Lucci just literally wrecked someone who Luffy saw as a friend just because she provided some food for them. So... yeah. That attack *was* personal.
1:18 and 1:19...all the sudden Luffy's manic laughter turns more sinister to match his grin...which screams Rob Lucci is gonna have a bad time real soon.
Man I really love how Luffy beats his chest like an Actual Drum at 0:02 it’s so cool, especially when Gear 5 is started with his heart slowly beating then goes into rhythm with the Drums of liberation sound.
If you pay attention to Luffy's body language, he was originally going to go into Gear 2. However, Lucci was curious about Luffy's new look on his wanted poster so Luffy just wanted to humor him.
damn gear 5 might really be the best transformation in all of anime. This episode was sickening and that animation?? It's a weekly anime but looks like straight out of an anime movie

I love that we see it from Lucci's perspective. We don't see so much as a blur. No, he's just *there* almost immediately.
The transition from Luffy’s eyes to Luffy speed blitzing Lucci and knocking him senseless was absolute gold🔥
Bro this is honestly just as good as the initial reveal tbh. Luffy is an INSANE menace. How can he be so silly but so terrifying at the same time? It really is the "most ridiculous" power.
Cartoon-ish powers are some of the most op powers in animation history
It is because he is toying with you. He is so overwhelming that when he smirks at you, you feel like you are in his control
it takes inspiration of the original sun wukong too, gear 6 is gonna be insane, hopefully we get to see the infamous staff, since luffy's abilities are just like the staff.
@@Alcapwn4bro I thought I was the only one that knew that, I’m praying oda has another training act where he levels up n gets a staff for the finale, would so crazy
@@Alcapwn4 I doubt there's gonna be a gear 6. This seems it, in terms of power ups. The only thing missing is him fully awakening the fruit, but I doubt it will be an entirely different gear. Just 5 gear, awakened.
For a few seconds, we see the POV from lucci how luffy looks like in his eyes.
Like a maniac lunatic looking monster
I just like how Luffy’s power up is so much different from any other anime. You don’t have the typical screaming or charging up pose most shows have, he laughs and jumps around in joy while powering up.
he sounds like psycho in g5 honestly lol
One of the reasons I love One Piece. Constantly flipping anime tropes on their heads
@@montevids6167that's why I love one piece too it's unpredictable and well thought out
@@monkeydkong3399 exactly. Not to say other anime’s aren’t but One Piece is more focused on being itself and being what it wants to be which gives Oda the freedom to truly write however he sees fit.
It's really not that much different lol and in this he did yell and assume a pose to power up
That transformation sequence to gear 5 where Luffy seemingly calls out his df and hit his chest like a gorilla. Pure fire
Especially afterwards when his chest rebounds like that as if the devil fruit was responding
I like how he had to be calm and listen for the drums
To each his own I guess, I really don't like it
I wonder if it was talking to him too. He seemed to see the words "joy boy" is the devil fruit bestowing that mantle unto Luffy??? GOD DAMN ODA
Not to mention after beating his chest those haki lightning makes it look like Luffy is transforming into a titan than gear 5 but without needing to bleed
The way Lucci bumps with goofy sounds before crashing is just perfect
1100ish episodes in and this is one of my favorite 2 minutes of One Piece. The laughing and CQ lightning go so well together
The look he gave Lucci legit gives me Whitebeard/Kaido vibes. This man is truly one of the Yonko now.
Yeah that look was serious definitely gives like that scary look from previous yonkos when we where first introduced to them like big mom
@@OtakuJuanma2 bro what, I read 375 chapters what the hell are you even talking about
@@theonetruefusion8533
Rammot and Pitou is what I'm talking about.
@@OtakuJuanma2 Pitou, you mean how he got demolished by nen contract gon?
@@theonetruefusion8533
No. I'm talking about how he jumbled Rammot by just existing for a few minutes
I love that Gear 5 is literally space bending, ignored matter, and all. And the animation really captures the absurdity of this power.
this what we old people call toon force.
its literally toon force personified
I for one don't like it. Goofiness aside, the cool thing about luffy was how he has been at a disadvantage most of the times. but in truth he possessed the most OP fruit the entire time. The big 3 really loved to picture the MC as the underdog and then give them the most insane powers of the verse, One piece was the exception but alas all roads lead to Rome.
@@RuteFernandes-qs6pcyeah even if they did foreshadow it it's still kinda sad but to be fair he has worked hard to get gear 5 to the point of literally dying
I like the fact that, since luffy has Gear 5, it looks like he isnt even trying at all, rather just toying around.
The drums will NEVER get old! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can play the bass 🎸
Anyone notice that Luffy's eyebrows at 1:19 looks like Wukongs headband
ルピーのモチーフが孫悟空です
Why do you think all the beginning members are from the East blue
@@silentazn89 Crazy that both dragon ball and one piece take inspiration from the same story. Pretty cool honestly
@@JamesJohnsonQ That's like Paul Pierce. It's real talk. 🤣
He is loosely base on wukong
I think my favorite part of this is the way Luffy's haki goes absolutely _wild_ throughout his transformation.
When the Music stops at 1:23 chills. Bro really showed him and us how serious luffy can be in gear 5.
serious? he was playing that was just the first punch
@@Yu-Gi-Oh36508 To Lucci it probably felt that way, though, as you said, Luffy wasn't even taking Lucci seriously once Gear 5th was up
1:15 The way the music cut out right before Rob got speed blitzed had me jumping out my chair
0:53 bro turns into a silly god
Fr tho
If only Ace could see how amazingly powerful his annoying little brother has become 😢
he would be chilling with Kataguri since he loves donuts and last I checked Ace became one 🤣
@@ZeelofTheMartywow. Owie.
@@ZeelofTheMarty 😆 Jesus Zeel.
@@ZeelofTheMarty i knew the joke and still got got
The thing is though, one of the reasons why luffy has become so powerful is because he lost his brother.
Nah the way Luffy went for Lucci right away and the music cut out on beat was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
indeed.
1:19 Luffy's laughter sounded so terrifying and looked so devious, and the way he was when he punched Lucci was equally terrifying
Yeah I liked the change from carefree laughter to a sinister laugh in that moment
its too good, favorite part of this clip
Intents were _nothing but_ malicious.
The amount of creativity with the animation is unreal
Usopp: "Luffy got bleached!" 😂😂
Ironic lol
When I was watching it I was like “so did you”😂
luffy with that bankai 😭
I screamed "NOOOOOO!""""
I'm pretty sure he's talking about the hair, people. Going blonde is a big deal in Japan culturally.
1:21
"he's gonna punch me really hard isn't he"
1:26
“ow”
Like that scene is Jojo:
You’re going to do the Ora Ora thing aren’t you?
“Mhm”
ORARARARARARA
"I need you to do me a solid and not punch me anymore" 😂😂 tfs reference
*boing* *boing* *boing* *boing* *boing* *CRASH*
the tfs reference hit me perfectly, thank you my friend
the melody of the drums of liberation is just so perfect, the emotion it just brings out everytime is so perfect
I love how they manage to make his power look goofy and terrifying at the same time.
"the warrior who PLAYS the fool".
Lucci: Ah…mistakes were made…
Lucci: this is going to be fun.
Luffy: but not for you!
Seriously I can not imagine how he saw that transformation and was like "Yeah I think I can take him."
@@Warcodered01facts 😭😭😭😭 Luffys conquers haki going crazy during the transformation alone would’ve made me rethink my whole existence 😭😭😭
No, its gonna be quick..
@Warcodered01 bro must have been clinging on to his glory days when he used to one shot luffy and threw him to a chimney
Nah. Lucci had fun.
He got beaten up but i bet it was satisfying to go all out against an Emperor.
Aizen stopping the protagonist's theme is already badass, but Luffy moved so fast he stopped his own theme
yessssssssssssss
That moment of realization for Lucci when he goes from "pfft, it's like I'm fighting a cartoon character" to "oh sh%t I'm fighting a cartoon character"
1:24 - It was at this moment that he knew...
*HE F*CKED UP!*
He gonna recognize Luffy is putting respect to the Yonko title.
Bro sucker punched him
@@hyperbladezz8045Pirate, remember?
@@hyperbladezz8045this was not a sucker punch lucci was staring right at him!
Mans life flashed before his eyes
"this is gonna be fun" bro ur getting one tapped 💀💀💀
To be fair he didn't get one-tapped
@@pango4425Can you really call it a fight tho? 😂
Lil bro thought he was going gear 2
@@icarus1455 Well, kinda? Not a serious fight on Luffy's part, but Lucci isn't just fodder. People thinking Luffy will just one-tap any non-yonko need to put the Kaido fight into context. Kaido took like a million hits from him after fighting like everybody while holding up an island. Just because Luffy was capable of doing damage and eventually winning doesn't mean his attack power is so overwhelming that it would take hax to take even one shot.
@@pango4425 Not saying he's gonna one tap him never says anything if the sort ☠️, but dude spends the whole fight bullying him and not even taking him seriously, so yes to Luffy he's fodder, if he beats Luffy it'll be because Luffy either gets jumped or he outsmarts him but rn yeah this fight is just to show his much stronger he's become since then
That moment at 1:18 when Luffy stops laughing at himself and remembers that Luci is there. That slight tone shift gives me chills. Love gear 5 more and more
The moment where he pulls himself together you better start praying he doesn't stop laughing.
Don’t think he forgot he was there, I think he was just laughing at the idea Lucci used to scare him and his friends and now it was his turn to be the scary one
@@justjustus7406 I think it's just laughing at Lucci's challenge. Luffy had already batted him around a little, and was easily taking him in Gear 2. Lucci basically asked to die, and Luffy obliged as soon as he was able to stop laughing at the thought of Lucci trying to take him.
The red eyes right before the punch hits..
The moment Luci realized that, this time, he was the one fighting an opponent out of his league
I love how he looks so round, fun and childlike when he first transform, and then he turns into a literal demon. This scene is perfection ❤
Mayumi’s last heh heh heh before that punch gives me chills, I don’t think luffy has sounded so menacing before
she's still killin it idk how she's so good
it sounds like a laugh you would hear from Linda Young's Freiza
chills down to my little bootsies
I grew up obsessed with Trickster gods. I read all the stories from myths from all over the world. The chaotic deities that flipped the world on its head for S&Gs. Luffy’s laugh before he launched Lucci across the map reminded me of how I’d imagined Coyote laughing at whatever poor sod managed to offend him. Those guys usually ended up less than happy.
The drums…the ost…the silence….Luffys maniacal smile…everything is perfect.
LET'S GO EVERYTIME LUFFY GOES NIKA, I CAN'T HELP BUT TO FEEL EXCITED AND LAUGH WITH HIM.
lets all love luffy the new sun god❤
That’s exactly what Oda was aiming for and it works!
same 😂
Blud thinks he’s gear 5 luffy
Looks like a copy of super saipan to me
Luffy starts spewing conquerors haki and breaking physics on the floor around him.
“This’ll be fun” lol it was immensely fun seeing Lucci get ragdolled here😂😂
Egghead has been amazing.
That moment when you realize they aren't laughing with you, but at you
I love how there's barely any frames of Lucci's face of seriousness to surprise when Luffy was inches from his face. And the punch... Wowie it was beautifully brutal, hilarious, and so well animated.
Lucci didn’t know what was coming he shouldn’t have asked for gear 5
Luffy out here bringing a smile to even lucci's face before decking him in
I like how Gear 5 is:
95% Luffy being a silly lil guy
5% an elder god has been awakened
Someone: How many time did you watched this scene?
Me: Yes
I have watched this scene many times.
I just wish the start of the video was just a bit longer.
I love how batshit insane Luffy looks and acts while laughing and jumping like a maniac. Toei did an incredible job at portraying how, despite its "goofy" appearance, Gear 5 can be so sinister and dreadful.
Like a 6 year old at an ant hill with a magnifying glass 🐜 🐜 🐜 🔍
that was luffy's ploy
not really luffy gear 5 just turn into loony toons
I mean 1:24 is genuinely scary, your brain just has trouble connecting the silly laughing man to the unhinged beast unleashed.
@@SlideIXThe point of my comment is exactly this. We already had a glimpse of Gear 5's destructive power and what was able to do during the fight with Kaido, but from Lucci's point of view Luffy looks far more sinister than it was ever showed, which is funny considering how in this scene is still acting as the "silly laughing man"; in fewer words, I already understood what those powers were capable of, but up to this point I never realized how TRULY terryifing Luffy can be in this form. It probably helped how this "fight" with Lucci (which was more a disrespect than everything ahaha!) showed how powerless he was despite his new power-up.
I don't always love the chaoticness of Gear 5 and how it can make the animation sometimes almost indecipherable... but GOD DAMN, that expectation change to the cut from the reflection of Lucci's eye, into showing Luffy's already rocking up to deck him before he even gets a chance to do anything is crazy.
Honestly that's kind of a good thing that it's so chaotic, thinking about it how else do you convey the insanity of someone turning the world around them into a cartoon in the medium of a cartoon. Making it look like he's just breaking the world around him makes sense.
The Animators can do whatever they want now, just like Luffy
Lucci: this is gonna be fun
Luffy: for me
the close up might be the coolest thing I've seen in onepiece
Not enough people are talking about how he transforms into g5 with gear 2 he crouched down but he is literally banging the drums of liberation on his chest! So badass!
That's the best part for me
No one is talking about because that isn't what happened. He was going to just use Gear 2. But then Lucci asked about his wanted poster, so Luffy got out of the Gear 2 pose and switched to activating Gear 5.
@@Xynth22 but he did beat his chest while transforming. Pretty sure he meant not enough people are talking about that. Relax there Poindexter ☝️🤓
@@Clown_Syndrome I just love being insulted by someone that clearly can't read.
@@Xynth22 I'm sure your desire to be right leads you to believe everybody but you can't read. Looks like I hit the nail on the head. ☝️🤓
"This is gonna be fun"
That's not what you'll be saying in a few minutes, Lucci
Yeah, is so stupid lucci😂😂😂
*Lucci in a full body cast blowing on a party streamer*
More like a few seconds.
The dynamic between Luffy and Lucci shows the unpredictable nature of Gear 5, oscillating between playful humor and unbridled ferocity. This dichotomy highlights the pure power of the form, making it both fascinating and intimidating. The reflection in Lucci's eyes symbolizes the fear inspired by the unpredictability of Gear 5, echoing Dr. Vegapunk's words about a god who hides his true strength behind a fantasy mask. Nika's ability to play with his opponents, mixing playfulness and menace, makes Gear 5 a force to be reckoned with.
I love it
*1:21*
Lucci: Yes, give me a challen- Wait why'd the music stop?
Luffy killed his own OST 😭
"Hold my soundtrack"
Luffy said pause, I need to put this fool in his place.
"Hold the song for a bit, gotta teach this guy things arent sweet out here"
Luffy was like "Uh I'm not finished"
1:27 That attack was completely personal, Luffy sent Rob Lucci flying
Not to mention the bouncing. Lucci momentum is not allowed to slow down on the ground or find purchase on the ground. The only cushioning he gets is the hard building behinds him.
As someone stated in a video, you don't mess with Luffy's friends or Luffy's food, and Lucci just literally wrecked someone who Luffy saw as a friend just because she provided some food for them.
So... yeah. That attack *was* personal.
That part made me laugh so hard 😂
That's no Luffy, that's Nika.
Love that part😊
1:18 and 1:19...all the sudden Luffy's manic laughter turns more sinister to match his grin...which screams Rob Lucci is gonna have a bad time real soon.
I love at the start how luffy feels the drums and how he full on beats his body because his heartbeat are drums
Dawg that part was so dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
Man I really love how Luffy beats his chest like an Actual Drum at 0:02 it’s so cool, especially when Gear 5 is started with his heart slowly beating then goes into rhythm with the Drums of liberation sound.
Beating his chest like a real monkey 👌
1:19
That sudden music cut.
That’s when you know something savage is about to happen. Example A) Aizen cutting off Ichigo’s theme just to immediately destroy him.
1:20 The Moment in Lucci's journal where he remarks. "This isn't a comedy....it's a horror movie."
If you pay attention to Luffy's body language, he was originally going to go into Gear 2. However, Lucci was curious about Luffy's new look on his wanted poster so Luffy just wanted to humor him.
i love these small details (:
yeah I thought they were going to mirror their original fight by going 2, then 3 and maybe skipping 4.... but nah they went straight into 5!
Lucci was afraid of G2 so he made sure to distract Luffy so he wouldn't use it
Nah lucci was withholding a large of amount of his new abilities so it was just a friendly spar type of thing
Lucci just didn’t want to play around with the appetizers. He wanted the main course.
Luffy breaking anime rules and not waiting for the power up is awesome
It is isn't it?
Luffy pulled a Eren Yaeger.🤣
lucci might wait for luffys power up but that mf aint doing the same for him😂
@@aminfaka8986I don't think Lucci could even engage with Luffy whilst he was tranforming
damn gear 5 might really be the best transformation in all of anime. This episode was sickening and that animation?? It's a weekly anime but looks like straight out of an anime movie
