About

The Gear 5th or Gear Fifth is a famous power-up of Monkey D. Luffy, the main character of the shonen manga and anime One Piece. The power debuted on episode 1071 of the anime in early 2022 and became a trending topic on social media over the following years, inspiring reaction images, videos and photoshop edits of the character's power.

Origin

The Gear 5th[1] power-up (shown below) is the awakened form of the Gomu Gomu no Mi fruit (or as its true original name, the Hito Hito no Mi fruit, model Sun God Nika). This power-up strengthens the user's rubbery body and gives them the ability to manipulate and transform their environment based on their own imagination in a way reminiscent of slapstick humor from Western animation. This power was first used in the One Piece manga in chapter 1044 on March 28th, 2022, during Luffy's final battle with Kaido on Onigashima, in the climax of the Wano arc.

4/10 not enough whip cracking.

But in all honesty as someone who doesn't watch anime this looks so damn cool. Also having the protagonist's (at least i think hes the protagonist) super form just being hanna barbera physics is a good contrast to all the stereotypical edgelords
