I've been so excited for you guys to see this for so long and I have a lot to say 😭 Luffy was literally dead and his heartbeat started back up as the Drums of Liberation 🥁🥁🥁 It was done so well with the OST. Sanji's observation haki is on point as always. I love Gear 5. It's exactly what I expected from the manga. It's literally rubber hose animation, which is so fitting for someone who has been depicted as a "rubber man" this whole time. To me, it breaks the concept of what traditional anime power ups are. Instead of becoming extra serious and showing Luffy as this "badass main character with super strong punches", he's goofy, laughing, joking, maniacal, and somewhat creepy. He can defy laws of physics and do anything just like a cartoon (Luffy Toons). I love that his awakened ability doesn't just affect his surroundings, but the people he touches as well. He turned Kaido into a whole cartoon lol that's an Emporer he's throwing around like that 😂 Oda said in an interview he didn't want Gear 5 to be super serious since he believes battle mangas have too many expectations for that, and he isn't a fan of it. He never wanted OP to be serious like that and knew he'd be taking a big risk since some fans may dislike this form. But Luffy IS Joyboy and it brings you joy when you see it. IMO it's a great concept and what sets it apart from others. The foreshadowing of Gear 5 goes way back to Skypiea or even earlier (which is crazy in real time since Skypiea began in 2002 in the manga/2003 in the anime). We've seen so many people reference the Sun God, pray to him, and thank him, including the Giants. And there are a lot of references to the sun in general (Thousand Sunny, Sogeking's mask, to name a couple). Luffy ate a mythical Zoan fruit and he is the "Sun God Nika" 🌞 the Elder Stars also said Zoan fruits have a will of their own... you know that's going to be important going forward

LETS GOO MAN WE OUT HERE!!! legendary type stuff right here yall we made it! 🔥🔥🙌 💪🎵😆🫱

Danté

If yall didn’t know, Warner Brothers themselves helped on this episode. Straight Looney Tunes action for real.

G.E.A.R. 5

madmax

never knew the properties of both rubber & gum could take us this far🏔️🙌🏿

Jakob D. Bariteau

WE MADE IT!!!! So hyped for this because all the biggest videos yall had on the YouTube channel is DBZ transformations and big time Saiyan moments... as far as I'm concerned, throughout all of the Shonen that i've seen, there isn't a more hype, cathardic, INSANE transformation than Gear 5! It is PEAK!!!!

Paranoise

Gear 5 is just an endless bag of moves. An encapsulation of Luffy as a character. A form which distills so many themes of One Piece. And it's just so much fun to watch. Possibly the single greatest thing Oda wrote - I love it so much.

Paranoise

That's misinformation. It doesn't even look like Warner Bros. cartoons. This is Toei doing a good job.

Jack SV

Just came to hate and say this has to be the biggest ass pull in this show so far lol Oda couldn’t find a way to beat Kaido so he made this new transformation.. I know some people were disappointed when this came out and I can see why lol

PrinceofDDR

Welcome doods...to TOON WORLD!

John Smith

Oda dickriders gonna flame you but you right lmao. Oda came up with Nika maybe two chapters before Who's Who mentioned it, the whole "Skypeia foreshadowed G5" bs is pure cope and gaslighting.

Mel

Letsgooookkkokkkkkkkk

joshnojoshua

NOT JARED FROM SUBWAY BROOOO

Sean Bey0nd

They’re finally here!!

Jakob D. Bariteau

i've never met a person in real life who thinks of this as an asspull or a random moment that wasn't foreshadowed, they only exist as weird internet dudes like yall who just love complaining... anyone who is an actual fan of One Piece and who has been reading or watching since the start understands Gear 5th and why it's luffy's ultimate form. Point out these people to me who were "disappointed" without using Twitter or Reddit as an example lmfaoooo

madmax

dont let chop anywhere near jared 😭 he’s in jail jail

Jakob D. Bariteau

his finest work fr. and toei did it the ultimate justice and pulled out all the stops

Jakob D. Bariteau

LMAOOOO "just came to hate" like yeah cuzzo we know thats your whole personality loool

Jakob D. Bariteau

i always thought that meant that they just like borrowed some WB sound effects and stuff or paid to use them or whatever

joshnojoshua

oda dickriders STAND UP THE WARRIOR OF LIBERTATION HAS ARRIVEDDD

Jack SV

I haven’t commented in months on the OP videos lol Oda one D huggers defending ass pull came just in time. dawg when does Oda foreshadows better writing eh..(?) Thank god HunterxHunter is coming back.

Jakob D. Bariteau

i guess "reading the story" and "understanding themes" is what dickriding means to you mfs lmao

Nuka

Gear 5 is the ultimate media literacy test. If you don’t understand how we got here, you failed it lmao.

Kami

Man I realized ive been watching you guys since 2017 😭 almost caught up on one piece... crazy.

Paranoise

There is one animator that did animations for western disney movies, I believe (I'm not entirely certain if it was Disney). But he worked on Henry Thurlow's episode - 1066, the Law, Kid vs BM, on one cut near the end. That episode in general had many western animators. This rumor kinda sprang from that one and became widespread. On the next episode, 1072, we'll get 1 cut done by a Ghibli animator, however.

Preet

Bungee gum 🤣🤣🤣

GemIcarus

"THIS IS MY PEAK!" real happy to finally hit Gear 5 after all the wild stuff Wano and the raid has shown us, impossible not to smile watching Luffy mess around with the limits of his imagination. Plenty to say a lot about it but I love the idea that Gear 2 through 4 make little sense practically but his imagination let him make them real. And the callbacks to Nika sprinkled throughout the series building up to this? Top notch stuff Awesome reaction and discussion as always y'all, definitely looking forward to the rest of the Gear 5 episodes

Tylor_taichou

"Oda couldn’t find a way to beat Kaido" I could see this being the case with someone like Magellan but Kaido and Luffy were just having fairly straightforward battle. If this was the case there'd be no reason to even bring in Guernica and just have the fight conclude like with any of Luffy's other major opponents.

joshnojoshua

plus heatah and hus's discussions on the topic are so goated, full of nuance, paying attention to tiny details that piece everything together. theres not a hint of baseless disparagement from them so it's always so peculiar to see this shit, i doubt they even watch the reactions

NoxKing

the jared from subway comparison for chop is the funniest shit i've heard in years

francisco vargas

Everyday people convince me more and more that they have no clue how to think critically, or read between lines, or even find patterns in stories. I swear people don't read the story. They just want hype moments and dumbed down media. My parter started reading OP this year and at Skypea she predicted Luffy being a god. Further down the story she was convinced. She's not even done with dressrosa. There are many things to complain about in OP like weird perverted characters and all the weird shit with sexually herrasing women, deaths, fake outs and the lack of deaths are two of the big ones for me. Hell even in this arc with Kinemon and his body, THAT was an ass pull. That is a perfect example of an ass pull. Came absolutely out of nowhere, made zero sense. But Luffy being a god, and the devil fruit being more than we thought, that's no ass pull and was written masterfully. Creativity has always been a part of luffy's character and the way it's done is amazing.

Light

welcome yall boys we been waiting for this. best reaction channel in the world craig !

Kami

Oda really cooked with this one, he's said to bring joy and it's hard not to watch with a big dumb smile on your face when luffy is doing gear 5 things lol

John Smith

Really the only problem with G5 is Nika, that's it. Luffy's new design, powerset, and connection to Joyboy make sense. Shit even him being considered a god by the people he saves makes sense, we got that in Skypeia. But the Gum Gum fruit being the Nika fruit was never a thing before Who's Who mentioned it. I challenge you to find ONE mention of Nika before that chapter/episode, you can't. It sticks out cause Oda is usually amazing at foreshadowing and creating new stories out of old forgotten plot threads, but here he just fucked up. Wish people could finally accept this

warriorten

You may be talking about Ian Jones Quartey, who made OK KO Let's be Heroes and worked on and who's partner made Steven Universe I think he did the Misery shots of the fodder getting caught up in it and Kid getting mauled

Philos

Thanks for the hate 🫡

Philos

I love how they compared it to Goku Ultra Instinct 😂

joshnojoshua

yeah Sun God was mentioned waaay back in the day but who's who was the first to mention the name Nika for sure. I doubt Oda had planned Luffy being the Sun God way back in skypea too, but that was in 2002 bro, great writers put things in their stories so that if they ever want to come up with something new they can look back at their previous work and pull from that shit, this is all speculation on our parts but fuck man he was able to connect everything in such a meaningful, impactful way, everything fits Luffy's personality and MO flawlessly imo

madmax

😂

Paranoise

@John What brilliancy. Let's mention Nika being Gum Gum fruit before the reveal - that would be THE REVEAL you dunce. Nika is just the name of the Sun God, who was talked about in Skypiea - arc steeped in religious and scientific themes. Not to mention that Oda clearly is using Solar System's celestial bodies as iconography, since Alabasta. Even some passing comment about a Nika fruit would have been connected by the fans - I literally don't see any point to doing so. Oda stated in the interviews, that since many people are scouring One Piece and collectively trying to predict everything, that he is super careful with what information he inserts - that's why's he so good at still surprising a collective theory crafting community that is obsessive. And that's why he almost never gives much information about the biggest mysteries in One Piece, usually involving Void Century - that doesn't mean he made it up when the information dropped, or couple chapters before - that's logic of a child.

Preet

The perfect balance of the soul & body man...well in this case also fruit xD

Farhan

Loving the Onigashima background. Can't believe we made it to here. Luffy's peak fr

MTBod

I've being waiting for you guys to get the Zoan Reveal! Honestly, one of the best OP plot twists in my opinion. The breadcrumbs of foreshadowing Oda gave us, even with your Monster Point-Gear 3rd comparisons,,,,,,peak writing!!

John Smith

I wasn’t saying reveal the gum gum fruit is the nika fruit from the start you knuckle dragging ape, I meant introduce the sun god nika as a concept. Then if people put the pieces together that luffy is nika due to all the symbolism surrounding the sun luffy had, that’s called good and logical writing, not giving away the twist. At the latest he should have introduced nika as a god during fishman island, where we learn about the SUN pirates and its captain who frees slaves. So many logical points in the story to introduce Nika but instead he does it right before luffy becomes Nika. Only troglodytes such as yourself would just nod along and notice nothing wrong.

BakedPuff

great ep n reactions !! had a blast replaying this

Mel

Man I knew this transformation was for you guys, this your peak too

Sahar

When I first read this in the manga my eyes popped out of my head like kaido lol.... but the anime did such a great job and the drums and the sound effects are the cherry on top ..... luffy has been fighting in more shonen style since the timeskip and this is going back to silly luffy that kicks buggy in the balls and bites arlong with his teeth and play dumb with enel...

Paranoise

“Good and logical writing” he says; oh brother. Your whole argument and rant has no logic, as it’s whole foundation is based on subjective opinion yet you take it as objective fact. Attaching a name to a God and revealing it early has nothing to do with objective good or bad writing, nor revealing it late has anything to do with letting us know when said information Oda thought of. Nothing really amazes me more than a person who’s logical argumentation is bottom tier, who doesn’t properly read what people are saying to him (as I told you this in the comment above), yet yaps the loudest.

emerald💖octopus

A second thought, has anyone ever noticed that it's always daylight at Pangea Castle in Mary Geoise? Just like it was always daylight at Enies Lobby. Even when it's the middle of the night or the middle of the day anywhere in the world, it's always sunny in Mary Geoise.

Light

It’s been quite a journey but yal cranked it to gear 5 and beyond with these reactions, only up from here

Preet

Fax big dawg

Based_Ty

Really been rocking wit yall since hxh days, just wanna say I appreciate yall for all the work… heat and hus feel like my big cousins now lol

Rej

HOLY SMOKES HE'S A TOON!!

SGKing

A list of all observations and banter I loved for this episode -Heatah brought up the fact the viewer has been shown Nika tons of time so far -Heatah talking about Luffy's mythical zoan fruit and noting his durability and transformations, few reactors notice that -Hus at the end of the episode "We needed more action" "Oh its coming" lol -Heatah instantly noticing the Toon force/Looney Toons we some oldheads haha -Them both in the post commentary talking about Luffy losing "I aint even supposed to be here" "I lost the battle" lol -Them just talking about Luffy's creativity in the post commentary -Hus roasting Chopper post commentary saying "The Jared from subway version" talking about Luffy's human-human and Chopper and then Hus being surprised of bro's past predator activities lmao Glaze I dont care, Heat and Hus the goats. Hope yall have a good day

Sean Bey0nd

lmfao there’s like thousands of hints at this coming throughout the story and that’s not even an understatement lil buddy. I wouldn’t care if he came up with it 30 minutes before they released the chapter, as long as it works out well story-wise and can be built upon cleverly what does the length of time in which he came up with it matter? lol

SGKing

Luffy's COC haki feat of solo splitting the sky still unmatched til this day 😉. This whole episode is so silly man, glad yall loved it

John Smith

Don't know why I'm bothering cause obviously Oda could take a massive shit on every page and you'd eat it up, but retconning your MC's powers 1000 episodes into a series is bad. Introducing a god that has ZERO foreshadowing and buildup throughout the story and attaching it to the MC 1000 episodes in is bad. Compare this to Sanji's backstory in WCI, which was built off something he said in Jaya. THAT is proper buildup. Also immediately resorting to insults when you encounter the mildest amount of criticism shows how insecure and fragile you are, almost like you know deep down you're forced to defend bullshit like the brainwashed cult member you are.

dero45

This also explains luffys recovery rate got that zoan healing factor

DolphinHands

Luffy having a Nika fruit makes me think of what Blackbeard said when he was fighting Ace. "The sun or the darkness, there can only be one winner." I wonder if Blackbeard will repeat himself down the line.

Elijah W.

love these guys!

Elijah W.

gotta take a hit for my boys and for luffdawg! 😤

Now the main event begins

Shark_at_Play

Luffy moonwalking on Kaido & sending back his attack, my boy serving out disrespect 🤣

Uina

This nigga called chopper jared from subway lmaooooooooo i'm dead as hell

Preet

LMFAO ik i was like ayooo not jared the PEDOPHILE!

Joseph Allen

The chopper hate went too far 😂. Chopper do be disrespecting a lot of the fans. I hope he gets a big moment later 🤞🏾

Stairguy

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

King Tut

I can't wait for the rest of this fight

emerald💖octopus

I remember back during Dressrosa when Heat said something about Luffy's 4th Gear reminding him of a zoan fruit instead of a paramecia, and people almost ruined this moment 😩 I'm so glad they got to it unspoiled

Stairguy

Gears 2-4 ONLY make sense with this reveal. I literally just attributed it to "anime" nonsense and just went along with it. Just being rubber would not be enough to allow Luffy to do that stuff. This makes way more sense.

Stairguy

Look man, I am NOT a big OP fan. I only watch it curated by the boys. Is your argument just about the name Nika? Is that what you have a problem with? Because I can even see that Luffy actually ate the human human fruit makes gear 2 - 4 actually make sense. Because just being rubber would not allow him to do that nonsense. But if it's really just what Luffy THINKS he can do because he's "rubber" it actually does make sense. It's a fun enough goofy story. I don't think Oda is That great of a writer personally. But this particular thing made sense to me 🤷🏽‍♂️

D4C

Let’s go!!! We are finally here! 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Emily

Need the next 3 eps together Come on 3 ep upload 🙏

Paranoise

This whole response is a riot, we need to break it down. You say: "Also immediately resorting to insults when you encounter the mildest amount of criticism shows how insecure and fragile you are" when you out the gate called everyone who disagrees with your poorly reasoned views a dickrider and a gaslighter, unprovoked, shows how detached from reality you are. Not only this, but my response to your initial comment in fact didn't insult you, and when you kept spewing vitriol still, only then I dished out some back (which in my view were absolutely mild compared to what you spew). If you read your whole chain of responses, you quickly realize how inconsistent your argument is on top of being illogical. It goes beyond mere goalpost shifting, into entirely new arguments, making it seem that's what you were stating initially. You go from "Shit even him being considered a god by the people he saves makes sense, we got that in Skypeia. " to "Introducing a god that has ZERO foreshadowing and buildup throughout the story and attaching it to the MC 1000 episodes in is bad." now attacking foreshadowing of Sun God itself, which is just blatantly false. As to whole "retcon" argument. I'm sad to break it to you, but this is a meaningless buzzword argument. Tons of great literature, from classics and modern best, have what you would call "retcons" by certain definitions of the word, and nobody with media literacy considers them what constitutes bad writing by it's mere self. Frankly, in court of public opinions, what would make it "bad writing" (subjectively), is if said recontextualization of past information would break the laws set in the story - but in this case it doesn't. Not only is it built off of actual foreshadowing, connections thematically, symbolically (solar system's iconography) and even mechanically (devil fruit awakenings), it also goes off of deliberately open-ended magic system and in-universe-logic. Oda set up devil fruits themselves as a mystery, we don't know the origins of them, how they exactly work, while showcasing to us time and again how "weird and ambiguous" operating powers are. Why do dinosaur fruits let you slingshot your head as if it was rubber? Why does Sugar powers have fairy-tale elements built in to it (like kids don't aging if they play with toys being direct power this fruit gives, among many others). Why does Kaku's giraffe can turn into cubes? And so forth. It's as if imagination and belief of what a fruit can do, changes the way it directly operates. Obviously this ALSO always applied to Luffy. That said fruit can do more stuff now is consistent, and doesn't break previously established logic. Calling it a buzzword doesn't make it "bad and illogical writing". Absolutely nobody cares if it's a retcon or not, by certain definitions, unless it actually breaks in-universe logic. Nor is anyone who thinks this is an amazing story development a "brainwashed cult member".

CJ Marsicano

Hus finding out about Jared from subway through this episode lol

TheBigOne

Luffy's fruit is affecting other people???

TheBigOne

Luffy has hit that Silhouette pose a few times

TyyT

I needed dis, preciate yall more than yall know Love how much yall fw one piece and it shows by yall attention to detail/connecting stuff. Heat wasnt lyin when he said "This changes everything" Da journey has begun a new..

Erweezy

Everything makes since when you really understand the transformation! Zoan the whole time..

Jakob D. Bariteau

“His new design, powers, and connection to JoyBoy make sense” “retconning your MC’s powers 1000 episodes in is bad” bro doesnt even know what his argument is 😭💀 just a yap sesh

Jay Jay

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

MTBod

Yep! Broken fruit

kinggkunnn

fair play guys , we appreciate your hard work

Preet

Pre timeskip Chopper was so much better man in terms of fighting and even design tbh - Or am i tripping?

Kami

I was flabbergasted bamboozled and shocked to say the least I was like HOW DOES HE NOT KNOW ABOUT JARED 😂 crazy reveal for hus

Kami

He was much more freaky monster like before. Which was "cooler" I guess. Strengthwise idk in wano he was trying to fight one of the strongest enemies here that even Marco and sanji were having problems with. Just shows the caliber of enemy we are up against. Half the crew needs a little buff at elbaf for sure

0rbital_Nugget

Get ready to see a whole lotta Gomu Gomu no, Disrespectu!

Jakob D. Bariteau

bro Hus how did you even pull Jared from Subway without knowing his darkness i thought thats the only reason to mention his ass LMAOOOOOO

Preet

Jared is a F.A.N. bro 🤣 he a fan he a fan he a fan!

Jakob D. Bariteau

hus thought of Jared as your friendly neighborhood subway employee bruh serving up footlongs

AMetalWorld

Made the King of the Beasts look ridiculous… What is there to say that hasn’t been said? A transformative and subversive work of art for the medium, and one that will leave the landscape of animation forever changed from this point onward. Oda’s indelible mark can be felt everywhere already, and will only continue to grow in impact and relevance long after he’s gone. Heat hit the nail on the head here. This changes everything. PS Once you guys finish the Kaido fight in its entirety, you should check out Pure O Juice’s UK Drill Luffy Kaido Diss. It’s a banger filled with bars, and as an artist I know Heat would especially enjoy it. Would be a good thing to do a reaction to as a matter of fact haha

Shedrick Jones

Keep in mind Luffys fruit is not just a Zoan but a mythical Zoan like Marcos Phoenix fruit or Yamatos

Kami

Yea so It has features of a paramyhthia just like how Marco is like a logia. Never thought about it really.

Shedrick Jones

Yup exactly, the mythical zoans always seem to have a little extra sauce to them.

Jericho

I love it man. Toon Piece is real

SibilantWhisper

My favorite thing is how after years and years of hearing people come for the style of the series, saying it was on some cartoony looking shit --it turns out that was gonna be more than suitable because it's now Luffy's whole moveset bag. Wild. A different type of joy to seeing looney tunes vibes in your modern anime.

AstralWisdom

Toon Piece just reminded me of all the dope toon style Yu-Gi-Oh cards from back in the day

Nate Deezy

warner bros partnered with Toei to animate this episode, thats where the looney tunes effect is from.. its literally the looney tune creators

Yams

Became one of the most powerful characters of all anime with this right here. He was already up there but this solidified it.

Lady Flawless

Can't express enuf how honored I am to get my shoutout on THIS episode! 😍😍😍✊🏾💯

Lady Flawless

Y'all should go on YouTube and look for the song LIBERATED it was inspired by this episode and Luffy's new power. I know y'all would love it! It is true hip hop 💯
