YES FINALLY WE’RE HERE, WE HAVE REACHED PEAK PIECE

Sean A. Crofts

Now we go from 'Monkey D Luffy' to 'Goofy Ahh Luffy'. NO TURNING BACK NOW!

WillGlacier

GENTLEMEN! WE'VE MADE IT!

Young Smokey VP$17

She has finally made it the goat has returned MONKEY D LUFFY aka Joyboy aka Nika.

Gus

Let the Drums of Liberation beat once more!

Chaxinitus

Ah yes, we've hit 1071, the introduction of Luffey Tunes /s (I was woefully unprepared for what Gear 5 entailed but holy fuck am I here for it)

UltramanUltimo

He now seems less like a "Rubberman" and more of a "Rubberhose Man" if we're taking the cartoonish ques to face. He is no longer Luffy, he is now...Goofy.

MoD+

Finally!!!!!!!

Lord morokei

I always get chills watching this part

Tribal Typhoon

Can ya hear them the drums of The toon force

Scrubthulhu

I can hear them!! 🎶🕺🎶

Silver Blade

I have a problem with this writing. not only is it japanese stories using the "trope" of history repeating itself and gods "reincarnating" but when the whole premise of the show is to inspire to "set out to sea and make something of yourself" - to make the main character a destined being / a God figure. entirely shits on the idea of inspiring the common man... like compared to Luffy, who is anyone who calls themself a pirate?? - fucking Koby is a better inspiration than Luffy at this point... we're distilled that Luffy might have reached Yonko status on his own but he needed the GOD fruit to become king of pirates which makes the narrative that anyone who sees an olympic athlete can't become that through work and will power - they need genetics and luck so that Shanks randomly brought the fruit to his village and no one telling Luffy how important the fruit was before he could take a bite... and also : Luffy died on that roof, from here on out it's apparently Joyboys will that awakened and took over Luffys body.... narratively that's what Oda set up and I dislike it heavily. even so One piece is still a 9/10 anime

My favorite part about Nami here is that she knows it's entirely possible Kaido could have actually killed Luffy, he's actively taunting them now instead of fighting. Byut she still stands on business, putting her faith in the future King!

Renn

You need to listen to the Joy boy has returned part in the dub the elephants actor absolutely killed it

Tor Andre Frantsvaag

Oda is a big fan of Looney toons and Tom and Jerry , thats why i love gear 5 =D and it suits luffy

Linus Pessenbacher

OMG finally i cant believe it but it will just get better

TheRuudster

I stayed up til 4 in the morning JUST to be at Alicia's live reaction. It was 1000% worth it

Xenocrona

Congratulations on finally making it to peak piece.

Silver Blade

34:10 - but since the Zoan DFs have a will of their own ... was it Luffy that wanted to make people smile and liberate them?? or was it the fruit he ate that gave him those feelings? in my mind Joyboy and Luffy being an ok twist is if either Luffy goes back in the past and IS the original Joyboy OR the dream he shared with Sabo and Ace that's exactly what Roger said was BEFORE he ate the DF.... I thought I signed up for a story of Monkey D Luffy setting out to sea to become pirate king - not the sun god Nika/Joyboys reincarnation trip....

Noodle

The Drums of Liberation is probably the highest peak of buildup this series has ever had, I was hooting and squealing the whole time!

frederik wøhliche

seeing this uploaded on a sunday with plenty time to watch made me shake man XD god this is peak and the white model works so well

Noodle

Also, this is the first in a long time that Luffy has been "fun" for his fights. Ever since Marineford, he's been so serious and dour during the big fights, there was none of the zaney energy he used to have. This brought a lot of that back in a new, manic way. It was so GOOD!

Silver Blade

51:00 I agree that it is consistent and his power set is an evolution of his concept - what I disagree most with is the notion that DFs have wills of their own that can influence people and the tonal whiplash from the darkest arc we've ever been through to Looney tunes in 15 minutes....

Dennis Christian Nikolajsen

Today is the last day of my 3 week vacation and wow what a way to end it, i have been waiting for here to get here ever since i first saw it my self.

I’ll argue with anyone about anything

The sun rises in the East and sets in the West and liberates people from the darkness of night. Luffy began his journey in the East Blue and is sailing West on the Thousand Sunny liberating people from the darkness of the world. Oda knew from the start that our boy was gonna be the Sun God. Such brilliant writing.

DDayJayke

Long have I waited.

Beolith

Currently watching Alicia react to episode 298, but I HAD to see her reaction to Gear 5 or as I have now decided to call it, Luffy Toon.

UltramanUltimo

One thing I noticed. Kaido's ability to make himself all but invulnerable using his natural endurance, his haki, and dragon scales to tank blows, is USELESS against Luffy's Awakened power since it bypasses all that by literally softening his body enough that HE CAN FEEL EVERY SINGLE BLOW. I imagine Kaido was boggled out of his mind "What the F#ck is HAPPENING?" when Luffy whopped em in the face with that combo punch. Probably hasn't had an ass beating like that in decades.

Froze

yeah this power is literally toon force

HitenASDF

FINALLY! Every single upload, every single tear and laugh, every single day and week, every single theory and amazing reaction to every single scene, waiting for you to get here! Welcome to Gear 5 Alicia!!

PumpDaddyD

Alicia: you know what I wanna thank toei for the goofy ass uh sound effects Toei: thanks! but wait there's more...

Shatol Darmelo

I get where you're coming from, but disagree. The thing about Luffy getting the fruit, is that the fruit chose him because of who he is and the will he has for freedom. We're told several times that the devil fruits have their own wills, and particularly so for the zoan, and his is even a mythical one. If Luffy wasn't Luffy, wasn't someone who has the will and strength of heart to do the things he's been doing, he wouldn't have been able to awaken the fruit, and hell, the fruit wouldn't even have come to him. We don't know *how* it does it, but the Elders even mention it's been actively avoiding discovery by them. As for "Joyboy's will taking over", that's not the point of "Joyboy". "Joyboy returning" is the idea of a new person taking over the role of a savior, someone to bring true freedom to a world under the heels of a ruthless and unjust government. It's still Luffy, 100%. He just gets giddier as optimism and joy takes hold to let him move as freely as possible. There's a few other things I could add on but that's things that haven't been mentioned explicitly or hinted at yet at this point. In fact, in a sense, this all makes it even more meaningful that Luffy chose to set out DESPITE getting a fruit as "useless" as the gum gum fruit. Remember, it's been laughed at as a useless fruit from the start, and he even despaired that he'd be unable to swim initially. He reached YONKO level with what everyone saw as one of the worst fruits. And brought Kaido of all people to the edge before awakening. And remember that Kaido also has a mythical fruit, he's literally a dragon, one of the most busted fruits we've seen in the whole show.

GrimPitbull

This is why I watch Alicia.

mld-Drake

many have disliked how silly he is in gear 5. i absolutely love it. it fits his character so freaking much

Angry King

After passing over a thousand episodes, she has finally made it into what was considered one of the wildest transformation reveals in all of shonen that swept the world when it was revealed, she has finally made it to Gear 5. I remember she was starting her One Piece journey around the time when it was just about airing this, and what a long way she has come from then to now, the wait was WELL WORTH IT.

Sam Marsh

For the past two years I have eagerly awaited Alicia’s reaction to Luffy unlocking Gear 5 and reaching his peak, and I gotta say, she did not disappoint! Her reaction was everything I could hope for and more.

Icy

love going back and seeing all the little things that foreshadowed this

dragon emperor ry

Luffy has officially reached his peak and the best anime transformation we one piece fans love gear 5

Lucas Prestes

Outside plot reasons Oda revealed he went full cartoon for gear 5 bc he wanted to be free to do anything he imagined in the manga without being restricted by Luffys powers, so in a sense this awakening theme of freedom extends even beyond the story. On a side note I find very funny that you commissioned that white model way before the reveal, and it matches Luffys form so much!

Yagi di Hoshi

exactly what ive always wanted for luffy - for the series itself to blow up ever since my enies lobby binge in spring break 2010 HS. when he jet-gatling-gunned down lucci, it was as though i felt myself briefly go Gear Fifth for the first time in my life. it's even gotten to a point my mother country (indonesia) has just about defined the Straw Hat Jolly Roger as "treason" toward the government. i had gotten so upset about how little One Piece had been talked about in the states shortly after & in 2012 this caused me to shift my attention to HxH at the time, then here i am back on my one piece fixation. i love all my favorite media franchises equally, tho', but Toei has cooked up something special as an anime -- sfx & "desperate situation" track BGM per every episode aside

Lazy2ns

0! We have arrived!

Vendacator

Let freedom ring! As luffy gets new friends, Bugs Bunny, Road runner, and Daffy duck!

Fae

"Bounce on it dayo!" caught me so off-guard lmaooo

Cyric Sherburne

Forgot how lividly enraged I was when this first came out. Weekly watcher since before Marineford, and so many years of hyping up a fight with an Emperor, especially Kaido and Big Mom being the entire major plotline post time skip, and Luffy isn't the one to beat Big Mom, and his fight with Kaido turns into literal ass Looney Tunes. That's JoJo's level of fucking with you

Billy Lo

true this but also the inspiration for g5 was because Oda loved old American cartoons like tom and jerry.

jdoggivjc

We finally made it

TheRoguelock

In the words of a great man: "Don't care, didn't ask, cry about it, stay mad, L, mald, seethe, cope."

Perfect Yarn

Damn, I have to watch like 12 reactions to catch up, I've been excited for her to get to this moment for well over a year

TheRoguelock

You're probably one of those people who would have jumped on the "Gear Death/Demon Man would be so sick" unironically

TheRoguelock

I remember seeing theories that her belief and her calling to him is what helped him to awaken, and I love that, even if it turns out to be pure fanon.

Azel !!

Finally, it is time. Now to wait again for the 1100s

DeathHawk31

now you know why we couldn't wait for you to get here

Michael Hamilton

Even alica is not safe from the corruption of Henya and amalee

TheRoguelock

The thing with everything you're saying, is that Luffy did have to work to get where he was. He wasn't immediately poweful once he ate the fruit, he had to train just to use the "rubber" part of it, which is considered just a basic power of the fruit. As for awakening it, he literally had to get stronger to be able to even get to that point, and (if I recall correctly) had to emulate the "feelings" of the fruit. Like, I swear I remember seeing that Zoan awakenings only occur when the user matches with the fruit. I think it's less that Luffy is a reincarnation of Joyboy, or Nika, and just that he embodies the same qualities of those people/entities. Luffy is not "being possessed", he's still aware of who he is

Michael

Most Mickey Mouse ahh power up ever, literally. And I love it.

Dyno

Kaido has now stepped into the ring with Looney Tunes.

Chris White

I love this fucking show…SO DAMN MUCH!!! Alicia’s reaction was pretty much what I expected and I LOVE IT!!

Chris White

The reason the gear 5 episodes took so long is because Oda himself and his whole animation team, the WHOLE ASS TEAM, were working on these animations until they were at PEAK Perfection! Oda fucking COOKED WITH THIS, and it is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Cyric Sherburne

I was talking about when I first saw it after 10 years of building up what the climatic fight between Luffy and one of the biggest pirates being built up in the series would be like in my head. I like it more on rewatches nowadays but I just set my standards too high for when I first saw it.

Dr. Names

The fact that the style of cartoon animation is called RUBBER HOSE animation made it that much better for our rubber man, so happy you get to witness peak been waiting for this day!

BakaSama

Read to the tune of the Tiny Toons Intro: He’s Luffy, he’s toony, he’s just a little goofy, on One Piece Adventures, here goes Gear 5! Woohoo! We’re finally here! I’ve been dying for us to get to this point ever since I originally saw it months ago. This is PEAK PIECE!

Cyric Sherburne

And it regards to how I thought it would go leading up to it would be he would awaken, and incorporate ryou, what he's been training for most the arc into it and give us a Katikuri level fight, instead I got "Were changing Luffy's devil fruit after 1000 eps right as he awakens and now Kaido is Wille E. Coyote and fuck that ryou thing."

Tee

Dang no Outro song react?

Ebofa

I don´t know why, but I thought this first happened in 1081! Holy shit, I have been waiting for this! Now his hands are officially rated R for Revolution!

Ebofa

What I love about Nami is that Nami is not a brave person. But her willingness to Ride and Die and to take a moral stand far outweigh her cowardice.

Vivica the witch

so they got actual loony toons cartoonists to help with this episode

Robert Sommers

The Manga dropped this and then went on break, might have even been the end of the year drop? Anyway it was a WILD time in the theory verse. The real ones remember resin-resin fruit

JuanmaRailgun

Lowkey, that CP0 agent at the start went in knowing he was going to die. And he took his death standing. He was a bigger pirate than most.... but also fuck that bitch.

Kanto

waited so long for this. ready for loony piece

bc@t

Joyboy has returned!

Glitchmaster1872

This has been THE most hyped fight in the show, PERIOD. All of us who knew about this were waiting for this moment ever since you started. It's been over a year of hype.

JuanmaRailgun

At first I didn't like G5 and the fruit name change, but then I realized, the fact it's toonforce makes so much sense. Gears 2 through 4 don't make enough sense with rubber. How do you get faster by pumping blood faster? How do you get stronger by filling your hand with air? We allowed it to make sense because it's silly One Piece's handwavey logic, but here we arrive and it makes actual sense. If Luffy thinks it makes sense for his body to behave that way, the attack will work. And now he knows his body can do ANYTHING he finds entertaining.

Robert Gibbs

What are you talking about , Kaido literally mentions in the next episode he is still using it. Did you even watch or read the fight correctly? Luffy literally needs that to damage him , why would he stop using it? Hell he has been using it since he first punched Kaido with red roc. And even if you don't think it has been enough people have been questioning the way luffys fruit works for like all of one piece because it isn't how rubber should work , it being fictional rubber could have been an explanation but characters in OP thought this.

Robert Gibbs

I think you have to remember that while a lot of people dislike it ,there are millions of OP fans and not everyone loves everything about OP. Way more people like it then not , for every comment I see disliking it I see 10 more liking it

Goobert

Im so glad you noticed the fact that, yes, this form is fully Luffy. Luffy knew how to get edgy from time to time when pushed, but Luffys essence is joy, and this really represents that. A lot of anime fans don't really like it, but people gotta realize this was always what OP is, now its just turned up to 11 (or in this case, to 5)

Jyxxe

Finally - Crackhead Toonverse Luffy is here. And it seems like Alicia saw every single foreshadow about his power awakening to be what it is.

Dusk Breeze

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it or if was obvious but when Kaido beat Luffy the reason his voice disappeared is that he was actually dead, full on dead for realsies.

Swervin

All my Fellas

Faroth

Funfact is: in flashbacks, before he ate the fruit, he was a grumpier kid, then he got all smiles and fun

GreyNimbus

This was so worth the wait.

ChaosSepher

But only mostly dead, not Dead dead.

FreakoNico

Fun fact: rubber is made from the sap of the rubber tree and the sap is white… so… white hair and cloths lol

Infernal Disdain

Actually dead dead. He literally hit the Continue on the Game Over screen. No heartbeat or anything, by any normal rules he shouldn't have been able to get up save for the fact he awakened at the same time he died.

Timothy Dowell

Been on this ride since the OP reaction. So happy we are finally here!!

Faroth

And the trees are mostly in the amazonian jungle, and oda said luffy was from brazil, and the drums sound like samba

Faroth

He probably was dead and found zoro in their way to the afterlife and together get lost and then end up alive again instead of "following the light" to the afterlive, also ww know this is actually possible thanks to Brook being lost as a soul

Swendle

Joiboi!!

UltramanUltimo

Another, nother, note: Kaido was said to be able to conquer any living thing on air, land, or sea. But a loony toon doesn't fit into either category.

DrOverbuild8363

Finally. Luffy's gears is one of, if not, the best, most fun, and most creative leveling up systems in all of fiction. Even the twist that his Devil Fruit is not what we thought makes sense and feels well thought out. As someone who got into One Piece around the second half of high school when the dub(yes I primarily watch the dub) just caught up to Water 7, the timing of the gears being revealed to me as I grew up watching it greatly boosted my opinion of the show as they kinda matched my mindset at the time......does that make sense? Either way, I'm so glad that we got to this part without Alicia getting Gear 5 spoiled to her. Although it was a bit surprising that she actually kinda guessed that Luffy is connected to Nika in some way........I mean now that I think about it it does feel kinda obvious now, but still.

DrOverbuild8363

By this point in the show Luffy deserves to become so overpowered that he has a blast fighting, even in a serious battle like this.

DrOverbuild8363

I'd love it Alicia reacted to the English dub version of this fight after she finishes with Wano. Kaido's EN va's performance is a bit meh in some of the early parts of this fight, but Luffy's EN va's laugh is very contagious......or at least it is too me......I guess, I don't know. I've rewatched this fight so many times in both languages, its just that good.

KingofYokai

Oh my god Alicia's unlocked gear 5!

Dain Greywall

We're finally here. What a ride, been waiting for this reaction since the start. Gear 5 never fails to disappoint.

Kamvex

And so the Sun God appears, the shining beacon. And while Zoro and Sanji specifically are the "Wings of the Pirate King" adding in Jinbei give that trio a different connotation as Luffy's commanders. Jinbei the Son of the Sea, Sanji the Son of the Sky, and Zoro the Son of the Earth.

Smiling_Jack

Oda really straight up lied to us for over 1000 chapters/episodes all while we tried to explain away Luffy's more out there powers. Red Hawk? "oh it's the friction that lights it up!" Nevermind that the fist lights on fire while it's stationary OR EVEN UNDERWATER. Kong Organ also makes no sense since his arms actually seem to multiply before he even starts punching. That was all just handwaving as you said while Oda was just giggling all the way. Absolute Cinema

Orireth

he has awakened toon force

Orireth

there was also a few times that he had put stuff in his pockets that had no business fitting, like I think it was enies lobby he had a chunk of meat in each of his short pockets

DeathHawk31

I ended up rewatching this video a couple times, her reaction makes my heart happy

Nunya Biz

so Now that she has gotten here. And she knows that Luffy has the Fruit of the sun god. Its ok to point out that all the people who talk about after the battle on Wano side. Always refer to it as the New Dawn. As the Sun shinning on Wano. Everyone from the straw hats to the samurai. Also to note. A few really cool bits. The Original Pirate group of Fisher Tiger. The man who freed slaves. And that was Jumbies original group. Was the Sun Pirates. Its why they have the sun Tattoo. Makes you think that maybe Fisher Tiger Knew the Legend of Nika. And even back in Sky piea. When they Drums are going in the end. And its after the battle and the guy thinks they are War Drums. We see him come out to see luffy sillouted in the fire in a similar pose. We also hear about the sun god for the first time here. From a Tribe with roots back to before the void centry. (They were FAR behind modern times when Nolan found them 400 years ago.) This ties up a lot of points. But opens so many more. Ones we are STILL learning about.

Alin Andrei

Oda: "What if Goku and Buggs Bunny had a kid ?"

NickAsNickName

i mean, i don't think the fruit alone did that - he did still talk shit to the mountain bandits after eating the fruit. but, wouldn't surprise me if the fruit did have *some* effect like that

Lightinger

The dawn of the world is coming

subject nerdam

You made it!!! You finally made it!!!! This is true...PEAK PIECE!!!!!!!😩🙏🌅🌅😆😆😆

Lotus Gramarye

I'm sure someone commented about this already but in one of his earlier SBS segments Oda responded to a fan asknig how Luffy could possibly beat Kaido with "I have no idea and I hope I can figure something satisfying out" and well... he sure fucking did. Every other Shouen leans more into serious and melancholy type vibes; some like Bleach naturally trend towards it, some like Naruto force themselves into it and it gets kinda silly, but One Piece goes in the opposite direction, embracing the silly and goofy parts of its setting for such a climactic fight. For all the issues I do have with Oda's writing at times, he is still an absolute top-tier writer with extreme passion for his life's work even after 20+ years. And tis beutiful to see, and especially beautiful to see it animated so fucking well.

CeCactus13

Behold, Luffy Tunes.

Tikiman

when this episode came out it broke the internet

Anzac-A1

So, it turns out that Oda WAS inpired by old cartoons, specifically Tom and Jerry, when it came to Gear 5. He wanted to do this from the very beginning, partly to counter the growing lack of cartoony elements in shounen manga.

Nym

GEAR 5!!!!! I've never even watched one piece and I'm watching this part just for Gear 5 alone cause of how peak it is.

Real Human

"I didn't think we'd go into cartoon shit" - a person watching a cartoon

keesh

Warner Brothers Studios coming in to help out with 1070 was perfect. They absolutely killed it with the episodes and sound effects. Luffy’s newest form is perfect for the character and also feels like an Ode to animations/cartoons as a whole. THIS IS PEAK

PrinceofDDR

Welcome, Kaido...to TOON WORLD!

Donald Weese

Now imagine if luffy ate a rumble ball i think that would unlock gear 6

Bell

Recalling Luffy and the crew's journey, everywhere they went, Luffy liberated someone, if not a person, it was a kingdom or even a country. The fruit awakened with Luffy because he was always a warrior of liberation simply by being himself. It's heartwarming.

Dip Ateer

Only luffy could have a form based on pure jubilation.

Easy Mode - A.I

16:39 - he flat out lost a lot of times, marine ford wasn't even a lose technically and before then he even kept getting saved. if it wasnt for ussop he woulda been dead from lucci.

protosaber363

So...The track that plays at the beginning of the episode is called "Luffy's Death" . Luffy actually died on the top of the skull dome...but his awakening restarted his heart.

Billiam the Blue

I'm so happy that you were so happy to see that Luffy's greatest strength was that despite everything, he kept his smile. And that the epitome of his power was a form that spreads joy

LittleMoist

sad Hiyori didn't get to do something cool

Drake G. Reaper

So just rewatching this but I think something that gets forgotten because how long ago it was. But Orochi to get Kanjuro to do this entered a suicide pact and since Kanjuro failed to blow up Onigashima he returned to fulfil the pact so both he Orochi would die.

FlaschenJoe11

When Nami tells you to get up. YOU DO! Luffy knows better than to make Nami mad XD
