It's even relatable. Like to be honest I haven't been there, but I feel in my core that desire to reach that point in any area of my life where I can feel all my efforts giving fruit. That moment when you can confidently scream "I can do everything I wanted to do ! this is my peak!"
I know Mayumi Tanaka has been doing Luffy’s voice for decades now, but she really delivered this episode. Luffy’s lines are so full of emotion, the laughs and the excitement he projects after feeling his limits finally dissapear… we are truly seeing Luffy achieved the ideal he has been chasing all this time. One Piece is just something special, man
Yeah you’re right in most anime’s the character rage with anger then somewhat become stronger, but in OP if you look at Luffy he never raged and transformed he worked hard for it, but now we witness a transformation that’s suitable for OP protagonist lol “GEAR 5th” Side note : Luffy worked hard for his other gears but not G5

@@Pure100percentfacts_ it is not overrated, i have not heard or read anyone saying that gear 5th is better than supersaiyan or gon transformation, you just want to feel more intellectual for showing off that you like those transformations better.

Gear 2 is a technique where Luffy pumps extra blood into his muscles, letting him move the same amount of mass at higher speeds Gear 3 is a technique where Luffy pumps air into his bones, letting him move more mass at the same speed Gear 4 is a technique where Luffy pumps air into his muscles and hardens his skin using haki, giving him incredible offensive and defensive potential Gear 5 is a technique where Luffy pulls out a GameShark

RIP to all the brothers and sisters that couldn't make it here today to witness this masterpiece! This episode was absolutely amazing and it's going to only get crazier the next few weeks
I don't care if people deem it trivial. I've been here watching since day one and I am genuinely so happy to be alive to see this. When the one piece is found I'll truly be complete and shattered. Cant wait.
Bro for real though, I grew up with the Skypia episodes. I remember coming home from school and rushing to the TV to watch the Marine Fort War and crying my heart out when Ace died. It's insane how long it's been. So happy to be on this ride.
@@wawacat6568Yeah, the flashbacks are always so annoying and unnecessary... Otherwise, the episode was great. G5 is sick, and the voice acting is top notch.
Never watched One Piece but I'm happy to see so many fans celebrate this moment! 🙌🏻 Congrats to Oda and all the fans who waited to see this moment animated!
It wasn't just Luffy's peak; it was ours too. The Animation is absolutely WILD, and the laughing brought so much joy to me, I started crying. Thank you, Toei.
Personally it was underwhelming. Gear 5 is great, but where was the nostalgic music? Where was the insane CGI, special effects all that jazz? And how many times can we repeat the same clip before it gets interesting again. This is a super negative comment ik, I just wish the episode had a bit more to it. Then again it IS one piece.
Oda is the Goat. Giving us childhood memories. Luffy giving Tom and Jerry, Crash Bandicoot, Loony Tune vibe. And I'll still be here to Support it. Thank You Oda!!!
My favorite anime power up ever. It's such a breath of fresh air. Nothing edgy or trying to be cool like most Shounen power up, it’s just pure chaos, fun, and laughter. Joyboy has returned! ☀️ 🥁
Expectation: Dark edgy transformation Reality: Bugs Bunny no diffs Kaido Like you said, G5 is such a delightful change of pace from the usual anime powerup escalation. I can't think of a better expression of the pure essence of Luffy's character, and the animators did an incredible job bringing it to life.
I mean, you would not act funny and chaotic unless you lose a cherised friend (side character) which is what happened here, there was no need to be "edgy" since Luffy had no recent crew lost, Goku had his best friend killed and his child in danger that's why when he becomes ssj he acts all serious and angry
@@skippyjones2291 precisely, both animes touch similar topics but in different ways, one piece is a shonen with more comedy and fun while shonen like Naruto and less light hearted and more dramatic, each one reach a certain group of people wuth different taste in visual content, the issue here us that one piece fan boys are acting now like Snk fans back then when they thought they were the elite of anime fans because their anime was "superior" when in reality it was just hype, same here, One Piece fans overhyped this Gear 5 to the whole internet and now that everyone see it was not that amazing or don't share the opinion of what "break the internet" means, one piece fans are either way defending their anime or telling people that did not like it to go and watch something else
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE, the animation changes were perfect. || SPOILER WARNING || I love when Luffy grabbed his eyes after they shot out and grabbed them to pull himself toward them, and shove them back in. Perfection.
That haki aura and those haki lightning strikes looked so good. Really shows how powerful this form is, Luffy nonchalantly and without trying releasing emperor level haki splitting the sky.
@@malyteusz555Nah the gum gum fruit lowkey sucks but it was Luffy’s ingenuity that made it good. If Luffy didn’t come up with creative ways to make it good it would have reached its max potential at Water 7. The Magikarp analogy is supposed to mean that it is weak until it “evolves”; Magikarp sucks but evolves into the powerful Gyarados just like how the gum gum fruit sucks but awakens into the monster that is gear 5
This episode looks absolutely amazing, the rubber sound effects was on point. Luffy has came such a long way to get to this point and I’m happy for him. I just know that the next episode will be even better. 🔥
I'm so happy I got to see this moment finally get animated!!! The classic cartoony sound effects and animation were perfectly goofy and nostalgic, just how I wanted them to be!
Mayumi captured the sheer excitement and giddiness of Luffy perfectly. "This is it!" You can feel his joy and excitement like yes I knew this is what I could do all along! Also love the "I can do everything I wanted to do!" Gives goosebumps when you consider Luffy has been using his imagination all this time for all of his gears and forms and now he's reached the peak of what he can do and beyond! We're in for a wild ride these next several episodes! Thank you Oda and all the animators for crafting such a masterful depiction of a power and form unlike anything we've seen before in Shonen!
Luffy can finally do all he put his mind too in this form ! It is a perfect final form for him. Luffy is so creative and imaginative... How many people would think up ways to use his fruit if you knew all it does is change your body into rubber
It's not that deep. If I knew my body is rubber and i can inflate, what you think I would do? Make arms bigs, bounce like a balloon, be super fast with elasticity. It's simple physics. A more imaginative one is Law...
“this is my peak” i can’t stop replaying this clip, and how well he said it … i cant believe gear5th is finally out, and i still remember first reading the chapters when it had just came out lol, it’s gonna be exciting to see how popular it’ll get throughout the years, and what arcs will come cuz rn its egghead
My goodness, when I saw this awakening with the drums of liberation, a song came to mind that would match the transformation, it's called Les Sauvages de Rameau, which starts with a drum beat
the 5 minutes of pure uninterrupted movement and balls to the wall action was some of the most stunning animation work I've ever seen. the transformation itself is so different from anything else and you can really feel that.
It was wayyyy better than expected. God i want one piece to become seasonal so we can always have this level on animation. Those animators better be millionaires now
@DarkFlames69 lowkey, I think only bc of the fact that it went to hiyori and that the reused the same scene 3 times I believe, but other than that I think it was great
Luffys voice actor is amazing, the way they laugh makes you wanna laugh aswell, also probably my favourite episode in anime for a long list of reasons, this power is the result of 1000 episodes, the journey has been INSANE
Gear 5 is one of those things when the more you see it, the more you love it. I was a bit iffy on it when it first dropped last year. Now I'm convinced it's the best narrative-driven power up in history of fiction
Just remember Mayumi Tanaka also did Krillin in DBZ and you can hear that lightning strike just like in DBZ the original when Super Sayian 2 and 3 had that electricity around the aura that made the same sound. This is ultra instinct right here that mirrors Goku's a lot. Hell even Oda has stated numerous times that DBZ was a huge inspiration on him.
@@iarguewithgoofies7355It is well documented Oda is a Dragon Ball fanboy. When One Piece debuted in the West there was a mini-interview in the American Shonen Jump magazine where Oda cited Dragon Ball as inspiration.

RIP to all the brothers and sisters that couldn't make it here today to witness this masterpiece!
This episode was absolutely amazing and it's going to only get crazier the next few weeks
I don't care if people deem it trivial. I've been here watching since day one and I am genuinely so happy to be alive to see this.
When the one piece is found I'll truly be complete and shattered. Cant wait.
R.I.P
@@-Umbrella. I doubt u beeing watching since 1999
RIP
Bro for real though, I grew up with the Skypia episodes. I remember coming home from school and rushing to the TV to watch the Marine Fort War and crying my heart out when Ace died.
It's insane how long it's been. So happy to be on this ride.
"This is my peak!" Definitely one of the most iconic lines in one piece
How? 🤔
Chill
How is it iconic?
@@kendrickburris2139tard
don't throw that word around
I was laughing with Luffy the whole time 😂😭🔥
nah fr tho his laughs had me dyinggg the whole episode
FR! Joyboy brought laughter to all of us
the childlike wonder coming from just his laugh really sells how excited he is to have this power, it's impossible to not at least smile
joyboy makes people smile both in the actual series itself and to the people watching :)
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Luffy: Gear.... FIFTHU
Toei: F I V E
I was smiling ear to ear every time Luffy was on screen in this episode. This is a 9.9999999/10 episode.
So what was missing to have you dropped it by 0.0000001
@@arbetor12Probably Orochi scene.
@@antonioratto109 or the reuse of the same scene three times. Or the flashback to the moment 2 episodes prior
@@wawacat6568Yeah, the flashbacks are always so annoying and unnecessary... Otherwise, the episode was great. G5 is sick, and the voice acting is top notch.

Never watched One Piece but I'm happy to see so many fans celebrate this moment! 🙌🏻 Congrats to Oda and all the fans who waited to see this moment animated!
Ty
thank you
Go watch it, you'll not regret.
It wasn't just Luffy's peak; it was ours too. The Animation is absolutely WILD, and the laughing brought so much joy to me, I started crying. Thank you, Toei.
Yo Luffy what’s up bro
Nah just Luffy's
7/10
Homie said "I cried"
Lol yup...been waiting my entire life to see this....literally
I love how not only Luffy is more goofy but makes the envoirement around him goofy too
This is honestly up there as one of the most beautiful One Piece episodes to ever be animated!!
Yeah Luffy is a beautiful Captain
Personally it was underwhelming. Gear 5 is great, but where was the nostalgic music? Where was the insane CGI, special effects all that jazz? And how many times can we repeat the same clip before it gets interesting again. This is a super negative comment ik, I just wish the episode had a bit more to it. Then again it IS one piece.
@@kaidyndoshi I agree. The music sucked most the episode. And the cgi Kaido before he was pulled up the roof was atrocious.
@@kaidyndoshitrue at some point Gear 5 luffy gonna have to get serious or else funny luffy will get a bit old
@@kaidyndoshithis isn't even the fight yet, just an intro to the form. I also don't see the need for nostalgic music
If there’s one thing About this Man is that he does bring “joy” when he’s on screen. Insane
Oda is the Goat. Giving us childhood memories. Luffy giving Tom and Jerry, Crash Bandicoot, Loony Tune vibe. And I'll still be here to Support it. Thank You Oda!!!
The anime title isn't lying, its Luffy's PEAK
My favorite anime power up ever. It's such a breath of fresh air. Nothing edgy or trying to be cool like most Shounen power up, it’s just pure chaos, fun, and laughter. Joyboy has returned! ☀️ 🥁
Welcome to barbie and strawberry world then where blood is jelly and boogers jell-o
Expectation: Dark edgy transformation
Reality: Bugs Bunny no diffs Kaido
Like you said, G5 is such a delightful change of pace from the usual anime powerup escalation. I can't think of a better expression of the pure essence of Luffy's character, and the animators did an incredible job bringing it to life.
I mean, you would not act funny and chaotic unless you lose a cherised friend (side character) which is what happened here, there was no need to be "edgy" since Luffy had no recent crew lost, Goku had his best friend killed and his child in danger that's why when he becomes ssj he acts all serious and angry
Thats because unlike darker toned anime like naruto, one piece is much more lighthearted and fun
@@skippyjones2291 precisely, both animes touch similar topics but in different ways, one piece is a shonen with more comedy and fun while shonen like Naruto and less light hearted and more dramatic, each one reach a certain group of people wuth different taste in visual content, the issue here us that one piece fan boys are acting now like Snk fans back then when they thought they were the elite of anime fans because their anime was "superior" when in reality it was just hype, same here, One Piece fans overhyped this Gear 5 to the whole internet and now that everyone see it was not that amazing or don't share the opinion of what "break the internet" means, one piece fans are either way defending their anime or telling people that did not like it to go and watch something else
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE, the animation changes were perfect.
|| SPOILER WARNING ||
I love when Luffy grabbed his eyes after they shot out and grabbed them to pull himself toward them, and shove them back in. Perfection.
This and kaidos reaction to luffy reflecting his attack are my favorite part
Shoutout to all the animators and staff for creating this historic masterpiece! Can’t wait for 1072🔥🔥
Yooo the One Piece is real😊
This whole situation really feels like when Ultra Instinct was revealed and it's just perfect. Both masterpieces.
So glad I could be here for this monumental moment. This is an episode that’s gonna be talked about for years to come. We made history
chill we didn't do anything
“this is my peak!” One of the best lines out there
nuh uh
@@justsora7519yes
Jojo refrence 😊

DBZ called
I love the way Luffy acts like a child having fun with his new toy.
Naw his new power
HHAAHHAAAHAHHAAH ARENET WE ARE?
Whoever recorded all luffys battles deserves a raise
Camera man stays undefeated
fr it's so surprising he could handle all the conqueror haki
The way he just moves uncontrollably and his heart makes him move and drags him is such a nice touch
The way I cried tears of joy. It's been almost 2 1/2 years and the moment has finally arrived. I literally couldn't be happier.
Gear 5 debut was in chapter 1044 which was released on March 28 2022
@@YonkoBlackbeardyeah idk what this mf is on, only a bit longer than a year
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I‘m just beyond happy and excited to have been able tp share this moment with so many nakama from around the world. Truly a peak moment
0:36 that sound is amazing
*Kaido sees Gear 5:* “I knew I should’ve taken that left turn at Albuquerque”
This episode is peak! Toei perfectly captures the goofy and cartoony feeling while also showing the freedom Luffy has attained now!
I’m so happy to be alive to see this honestly, this is truly Luffy’s peak, I also love how they nailed the “looney tunes” style sooo well
bro is unlike the other anime protagonists and isn't serious he's absolutely cackling
Mayumi Tanaka is the MVP and she is 68 years old.. i hope y'all can appreciate what she's doing for us ! :) !!!
I love how much he laughs in Gear 5. It's so goofy and I love it all❤😂
That haki aura and those haki lightning strikes looked so good. Really shows how powerful this form is, Luffy nonchalantly and without trying releasing emperor level haki splitting the sky.
The fact that I got a crunchy roll ad at the start💀
The Gomu Gomu no Mi is like the 'Magikarp' of all Devil Fruits, but the moment it awakens, it's power is... ridiculous
When Luffy evolves, he's going to destroy all in his wake~
Pretty sure thats kaidos fruit 💀
"The most ridiculous power in the world."
i wouldn't call it magikarp. he was strong even at the startt of the series. buggy's fruit is more of a magikarp
@@malyteusz555Nah the gum gum fruit lowkey sucks but it was Luffy’s ingenuity that made it good. If Luffy didn’t come up with creative ways to make it good it would have reached its max potential at Water 7. The Magikarp analogy is supposed to mean that it is weak until it “evolves”; Magikarp sucks but evolves into the powerful Gyarados just like how the gum gum fruit sucks but awakens into the monster that is gear 5
This episode looks absolutely amazing, the rubber sound effects was on point. Luffy has came such a long way to get to this point and I’m happy for him. I just know that the next episode will be even better. 🔥
I'm so happy I got to see this moment finally get animated!!! The classic cartoony sound effects and animation were perfectly goofy and nostalgic, just how I wanted them to be!
The animation of this was just awful.
they used the mr krabs walking sound effect
@@maiks.3684you do not know what good animation is then
@@JokerP5 nah he is right u probably a kid That have done his introduction good but this episode was overhyped
@@YutaisopStop assuming things about people, if you don’t like the episode fine stop hating on other people
Mayumi captured the sheer excitement and giddiness of Luffy perfectly. "This is it!" You can feel his joy and excitement like yes I knew this is what I could do all along! Also love the "I can do everything I wanted to do!" Gives goosebumps when you consider Luffy has been using his imagination all this time for all of his gears and forms and now he's reached the peak of what he can do and beyond! We're in for a wild ride these next several episodes! Thank you Oda and all the animators for crafting such a masterful depiction of a power and form unlike anything we've seen before in Shonen!
In terms of the fight, a-thee a-thee a-thee that's all, folks!
Let the drums of Liberation play their Looney Tunes!
Luffy can finally do all he put his mind too in this form ! It is a perfect final form for him.
Luffy is so creative and imaginative...
How many people would think up ways to use his fruit if you knew all it does is change your body into rubber
It's not that deep. If I knew my body is rubber and i can inflate, what you think I would do? Make arms bigs, bounce like a balloon, be super fast with elasticity. It's simple physics. A more imaginative one is Law...
“this is my peak” i can’t stop replaying this clip, and how well he said it … i cant believe gear5th is finally out, and i still remember first reading the chapters when it had just came out lol, it’s gonna be exciting to see how popular it’ll get throughout the years, and what arcs will come cuz rn its egghead
My goodness, when I saw this awakening with the drums of liberation, a song came to mind that would match the transformation, it's called Les Sauvages de Rameau, which starts with a drum beat
Love how much Luffy can make people smile. I’m sure we all had a smile on our faces while watching this episode 😊
I did
I'm the hardest shell but his haki broke out my smile too
The animators did this absolutely amazing, huge props to oda and the animators!
the 5 minutes of pure uninterrupted movement and balls to the wall action was some of the most stunning animation work I've ever seen. the transformation itself is so different from anything else and you can really feel that.
Uninterrupted only because there are so many repeated shots.
5 time the same scene over and over again. Yeah... peak animation.
@@navalhabr Just because it gets repeated doesn't make the animation any worse
@@davidchen8672 Go watch some fan animations of the chapter 1044 then.
Are you high? The animation was terrible pretty much all round on this episode
Could NOT stop smiling along with luffy this episode!
the goofiness in the episode was the most perfect way to describe Luffy's gear 5 awakening
It was wayyyy better than expected. God i want one piece to become seasonal so we can always have this level on animation. Those animators better be millionaires now
Changing a show from weekly to Seasonal would be a logistical nightmare and cost Toei too much money
u die b4 it wud finish
Moment of silence for the one piece fans who died over the years not seeing this masterpiece 😢
My best friend is a huge fan of One Piece he passed away
@@EurynomeEclipse13 condolences to you and his family I hope he's watching gear 5 in heaven
Maybe they would’ve disliked it
@@MrTeach99Good point. Gear 5 is a very controversial form afterall but I respect it a lot.
@@crazyblah867 Thank you bro 😎 I do appreciated I love you. I do missed my best friend every day.
I watch One Piece since my 15's, now I'm in my 30´s and this got me crazy. I'm grateful with life to be able to see this
I was laughing and smiling more than Luffy the entire time, what an episode hahaah! PEAK!
I can't stop laughing. His goofy energy is hilarious luffy makes me feel I'm watching a cartoon off boomerang 🤣
I can feel the power of Luffy's Gear Five coming inside me
Pause 😂⏸️
Mole
don't worry, he's made of rubber so he has built in protection
giggity giggity goo
Ayo
Can’t believe I’m actually witnessing this damn piece of art…MY EYES ARE ALMOST POPPING OFF WITH SUCH AN INSANE ANIMATION. I…just love…one piece!!!!!
Luffy’ laugh is just amazing 😂
This is one of the most hype moments of all time in one piece
It was a little underwhelming tbh
@DarkFlames69 lowkey, I think only bc of the fact that it went to hiyori and that the reused the same scene 3 times I believe, but other than that I think it was great
@@DarkFlames00the next ep is supposed to be better
@@G4KWyes but next episode is supposedly gonna be better
@@G4KW idk the part that I didn’t like was how goofy it was lol. I was expecting more of an an epic reveal not for it to be goofy
Luffys voice actor is amazing, the way they laugh makes you wanna laugh aswell, also probably my favourite episode in anime for a long list of reasons, this power is the result of 1000 episodes, the journey has been INSANE
Gear 5 is just them bringing back the pre-timeskip humor
Luffy: Out with the serious anime, in with the classic cartoony slapstick!
The voice actors killed it in 1071. Good work.
Oda knew what he was doing with gear 5 considering the fact that it also makes the viewers smile and laugh as well
Gear 5 is one of those things when the more you see it, the more you love it.
I was a bit iffy on it when it first dropped last year. Now I'm convinced it's the best narrative-driven power up in history of fiction
Truly, this episode made me believe he could conquer the earth and nothing would be able to stop him
Just remember Mayumi Tanaka also did Krillin in DBZ and you can hear that lightning strike just like in DBZ the original when Super Sayian 2 and 3 had that electricity around the aura that made the same sound. This is ultra instinct right here that mirrors Goku's a lot. Hell even Oda has stated numerous times that DBZ was a huge inspiration on him.
LOL buddy was on 3 drugs typing that, ain’t no way
@@iarguewithgoofies7355it is true idk what u talking about it's clear that op was inspired by db from the start
@@iarguewithgoofies7355It is well documented Oda is a Dragon Ball fanboy. When One Piece debuted in the West there was a mini-interview in the American Shonen Jump magazine where Oda cited Dragon Ball as inspiration.
Oda was inspired by DB but I doubt Oda keeps up with DBS or even knows anything about it aside from SSB, Gods, and UI forms.

This episode was great and gear 5 looked amazing and what surprised me the most in this episode is that endings are back.
That caught me so off guard! It was great too
