This is what Luffy’s Gear 5 looks like in the One Piece anime: “World’s Most Ridiculous Power”
Toei shows a first look of Luffy’s Gear 5 in the One Piece Anime, the final transformation of the Future King of the Pirates to defeat Kaido.
It’s only 33 seconds long, but Toei is clear that this One Piece moment has to be announced with great fanfare. With a short trailer, they explain: “He finally reaches Joy Boy, the world’s most ridiculous power. The heartbeat resounds to new heights”. In this way, One Piece’s own account refers to Luffy’s Gear 5, which we can see animated in the first teaser, showing the peak of the power of the future King of the Pirates.
After hitting rock bottom with the episode of Luffy’s death, the One Piece anime is heading into what many consider to be the most important chapter of the year. And not just for One Piece, but for the entire genre. We had gone 18 years without a new transformation of the future King of Pirates, and episode 1070 will put an end to that streak (a chapter for which there is already a premiere date, by the way).
We will not go into spoilers, but if you cannot resist the temptation after this teaser, we assume that this is the biggest revolution of One Piece in the last decade. After all, it’s already an open secret at this point (it even appeared in One Piece RED, last year’s movie).
And for those who don’t understand what we’re talking about, remember that if it’s too late, it’s never too late. It’s always a good time to join the Straw Hats and start watching the series. If you’re interested, here’s the order in which to watch the anime and the movies, the list also mention what is filler, so you can raffle off to get you caught up as soon as possible.
In other One Piece news, this weekend saw the release of the new trailer for the live-action version coming to Netflix in the coming weeks. Don’t miss it at this link.
