‘One Piece’ is one of the longest-running anime as well as manga of all time. The fans have meticulously watched and read every episode and chapter. The manga is currently on the Wano country arc, and many small battles have been concluded. However, after 4 long years since the beginning of this arc, it has finally reached its climax.
Although Luffy is currently losing the final fight, fans are not disappointed in any way. They were aware of the upcoming transformation and are eager for it to be finally animated. They were excited and the anime staff mentioned that Gear 5 is going to be legendary.
What Is Gear 5?
Gear 5 or Gear Fifth is the fifth form of the awakening of the Gomu Gomu No Mi. This is currently the latest form that Luffy has achieved and it is also the strongest. The awakening of the Gomu Gomu No Mi grants its user the ability to attain rubber-like properties and it allows them to fight however they like. This particular fruit’s ability is called the most ridiculous ability in the world.
In this form, Luffy’s heartbeat becomes musical and this particular form is said to bring joy and freedom to the people around them. Luffy’s clothes become white in addition to his hair. His eyes get glowing red pupils and white clouds float around him. This form allowed him to fight Kaidou, the feared emperor. The particular form grants Luffy great speed, strength, and durability. It also increases his recovery speed.
Why Is This Form Legendary?
Recently, a trailer of the Gear 5 Stretch set was released and it was everything the fans hoped for and more. The fifth Gear is the most anticipated and special part of the Wano Country arc. The fans who have read the manga are hoping that the anime will live up to the drawings and that the stretch set would be amazing.
The trailer that was released showed a little teaser of the Gear 5 stretch set. Fans believe it consisted of clips taken from different episodes and this increased their excitement. Some staff also revealed that there will be special episodes leading up to the awakening of the fifth gear. The reason why this transformation is important is because it shows Luffy in his most uninhibited form. In this form, he is the purest and is completely liberated.
Fans wish to see that side of Luffy and they want that the anime lives up to the standards that the manga set. It is expected that the Gear 5 stretch set will span over 4-5 episodes. The fans are extremely excited about it and if the trailer is anything to go by, the anime is expected to exceed the manga standards.
