Out Of All Of The Many Many Reasons I Love Gear 5, One I Haven't Talked About Yet Is How Much Luffy So

Out of all of the many many reasons I love gear 5, one I haven't talked about yet is how much Luffy so obviously loves gear 5 as well.

It is honestly revolutionary to have a shonen protag's final form be enjoyable for them. To not be something born out of anger or hate; a thing born out of strict necessity that has to be unlocked by painful emotions/the loss of someone they loved (temporary or otherwise) but rather born out of joy and a desire for freedom. To have them want to be in that final form, to have it spit in the face of the idea that the only way to be powerful is to be serious, edgy, ""mature"" and to abandon joy and happiness in favor of that.

I LOVE that Luffy's final power-up doesn't come at the cost of who he is as a person, and instead amplifies and uplifts who he is. It uplifts his carefree nature, his goofiness, his creativity, his sense of wonder. And as such, the form is something that he enjoys more than any other gear he has used. It allows him to be the freest version of himself, allows him to bend the world around him to his whims, of course he's going to love it.

It also (in a weird way) acts as a message of self love. Luffy does not have to abandon who he is to become stronger, but rather has to lean even further into who he is. The traits that make him 'weird' and 'strange' by pirate (or hell, even just by regular standards) are the very things that boost him up and allow him to win against his foes.

A "ridiculous power" Kaido called it, and yet it was that power that sent him hurdling to the center of the earth, toppling his reign over Wano with the very thing he robbed from its people.

Plaidoirie pour la paix

Envie de s'évader, de me libérer de cette haine, de cette violence qui nous entoure et nous submerge jusqu'à nous emprisonner. Je veux la paix! Je veux que l'amour triomphe de la haine et que le pardon soit la religion.

Hi everyone, I don't usually ask for reading advice on fanfiction but I want to try. I'm looking for a fanfiction where Luffy finds out about Zorro's feelings towards him but he's the last to find out. Does it exist anywhere?

Finally someone has drawn parallels between these two scenes. It's just beautiful and congratulations to the Toei teams for this parallel

if i had a nickel for every time Luffy punched the lights out of a ‘dragon’ until it causes a shift in the animation style, i would have 2 nickels… which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice
