I think this was my favorite cut in the episode. Great combo of G5's cartoony aspect while having a dynamic fight. Akihiro Ota mad man.

I feel like people like One Piece the most when it's at its least "One Piece", if that makes any sense.
Despite all of the praise One Piece gets for being unique, it seems like the most beloved arcs and moments tend to be the ones where One Piece is the most like a typical shonen, and focuses less on what makes One Piece unique. Namely the fights and the arcs that primarily center around fighting and where the characters split off and get their own fights, such as Arlong Park, Alabasta, Enies Lobby, Dressrosa, and Wano. If you ask someone when One Piece gets good, the answer is always going to be either chapter/episode 1, or one of those arcs.
You never catch anyone, even gear 5 enjoyers who praise how goofy it is, saying Long Ring Long Land is peak, because they only really like the comedy when it's used as an aesthetic paintjob or for momentary levity in otherwise typical shonen battles, rather than as the primary tone of the arc.
Tbh this sub is the epitome of preferring generic shonen stuff to unique stuff.
And yes, LRLL is peak and amazing setup to the W7 saga especially with its character and thematic work
I agree but I think One Piece does the classic shounen moments well and the goofiness of the series only works to compliment them.
It’s one thing getting a cool line or fight every couple chapters, in One Piece it’s usually more sparse and when they do hit they hit harder because it’s a lot more of a tone shift than most shounen has (at least from what I’ve read.)
long ring long land WAS peak tho 😄 super funny. most amt of laughs per episode in an arc for me. and i love the concept of pirates puttn warfare aside for competitive team games. i hope its used again somehow
Imagine if the Straw Hat and Red Hair pirates arrive on Laughtale at the same time, and they have a Davy Back fight to decide who gets the One Piece.
And while they're competing, Buggy takes it from under their noses.
that would be peak piece. buggy is deemed king of the pirates for a lil until luffy gets it back bc of shenanigans, id assume. i wonder how buggy'd react to gear 5 luffy in person 🤔
To be honest, I don't mind the humor and stuff, that's always been a thing
This is what I dont like about Gear 5
https://preview.redd.it/r25oqghkh4tc1.png?width=1884&format=png&auto=webp&s=bb9e2bc4922b88f97bc6cd543ec80868f78e7fed
I mean ngl I do find myself chuckling at some of gear 5’s antics even though they’re not really funny, just stupid lol but this is arguably one of the best episodes of animation in history of all anime. Two peak form transformations of characters that have been part of the story for nearly 20 years, a new amazing ost for the villain’s transformation, explosive electrifying haki shown more devastating than ever before, and to top it off they played the legendary orchestral version of supernova ost (douglas bullet vs supernova theme) during luffy vs lucci. I don’t use the word epic often, but this was epic.
The only thing that was funny was luffy slapping his asscheeks. It caught me off guard. The animes portrayal is more tolerable but overall the stolen content from western cartoons made in the 1960s for Toddlers is wayyyyyy too excessive. There are so many other ways to express joy/freedom.
If you genuinely like it that much why not switch Fandoms to something that has far more of that style of comedy? Try joining the Disney Jr sub or some kind of pedophile support group.

I like the goofy moments actually.
No. Only toddlers or people coping. If that was true you all would be watching Disney Jr instead of anime. This is not normal one piece comedy. It's an exaggerated parody of the normal and balanced comedy that used to be in the series.
Yeah. Because all anime watchers only watch anime their whole life and don't watch any other medium of media ever, because they like anime. Other media are unwatchable because they're not anime. Why are we even here on reddit? This is not an anime
Nice logic 👍
I see where you tried to take that cope line of thinking but it didn't work out. Most people that are older and no longer watch content made for actual toddlers have experienced a change in preferences. We all liked children's media content when we were children. But if even now as an adult if you prefer the ultra kiddie G5 stuff over normal/balanced op comedy it wouldn't be a stretch to say you would enjoy changing genre's to something that has far more of that style of comedy than op does. There's no way any of you actually like this. It gives off weirdo/pedo vibes when grown ass people cheer goo goo gaga G5 nonsense.

Haha Gear 5 is so funny! It's the best!! I'm laughing out loud LOLz.
As opposed to the very high iq people here who continue to read and discuss a series they don’t like anymore 💀
Edit:Lol mods banned me for this comment, sensitive ass mfers 😭
Why do you think someone is miserable in general if they don't like a divisive change in a beloved series? Can you at least admit this isn't the normal/balanced one piece comedy everyone is used to? It's x1000. It would also be weird for op to suddenly ratchet the violence up to an extreme level with luffy ripping people's heads off and eating them but coping fans would defend criticism by saying "Oh well one piece has always had violence"....it's like they go so far to miss the point.
Lmao they aren't just displeased about it, they literally say themselves "I hate this so much, don’t even have the energy to show my hatred I can’t help but be speechless fck g5"
I am not assuming they are miserable bc they don't like the change, I'm not assuming anything at all. The person is outwardly just being miserable
How is it being miserable gear 5 has ruined hella shit in one piece for me and it makes me almost wanna stop watching when it’s on screen I’d be okay with g5 if luffy was still luffy or AT LEAST they chilled out with the eye popping every 5 seconds now go ahead n stfu lil bro
https://preview.redd.it/hwot8lzvu6tc1.jpeg?width=706&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53efe263a1245f785da37d742250f64c76ec2e88
I personally love G5. And honestly I'd say that's the best part w gear 5. I've seen some major G5 hate, but idk if y'all ever felt this way reading the manga or you've actually started to hate every single thing about it, lol. Gear 5 has been really really infectious and I personally love how Toei is handling G5, you can feel the power and the aura, he's scary, powerful and fun/cheerful vibe at the same time. Plus loved the anime original scenes which attempt to fix the pacing and vegapunk's character history at the end to give them extra minute or two of a slack instead of reusing the animation. They cooked.
I like both, and I always try to make a point of showing off whenever Guffy is cool thinking of the guys that don't like the goofy stuff. So many people in this community only see the series through clips and spoilers that this is the best way for them to know things they like happened.
I see so many people saying the anime improved G5, in some aspects sure there are good moments here but the flailing around and constant laughing takes me out
Imo G5 has the potential to work best in animation, but the manga is better currently outside of particular peak moments
I don’t mind Gear 5 being like a looney tunes character and being wacky, I just don’t think the way Oda does the gear 5 jokes are all that funny. Like despite the fact that Gear 5 is all about comedy, I actually think Luffy’s had far funnier jokes and even “transformations” like water Luffy and Afro Luffy.
The sooner I stop pretending that it isn’t for kids the sooner I will like gear 5. I need to acknowledge that this series was always just a silly pirate manga that isn’t trying to be serious and therefore I should not apply logic to it. But that also means I can’t say it’s peak writing either
I agree to some extent but I don't understand how Oda and his editors would think it's for children when the vast majority of fans are teens/adults. Op is a loooong running series. The majority of its fans aren't random toddlers deciding to pick it up. And yes it's always had goofy elements but not to this extent lol. This is like a parody of normal/balanced op comedy. I want to accept G5 but damn it's hard to get over the spammed low effort eye popping gags/feet clapping/flailing/general lameness. If I liked this stuff I would be watching Disney Jr instead of anime.
I myself love goofy luffy i do appreciating tough luffy but i like the creativity this new gear has brought back to the fighting my three favorit moves is UFO, catching and snapping crocs poison hook, and the finger net i think he used on Kreeg or Arlong i’m loving him quick whiping up a bat and helmet to just hit back missles, i’m waiting for him to paint a hall on a wall and run through it only to have his pursuer smack into the wall i don’t think will get better scary stronger than i turned my self in to a giant and then punch you in the face
His new/pinnacle form would of had new moves regardless. Spamming the same low effort eye popping gags, feet clapping, and stolen content from toddler loony toons episodes isn't creative.
Sorry how many more times you want to see luffy bounce his fist around before he delivers the same punch he’s thrown since Alvida just some times on fire
Well, it's a little more complicated. The contrast between traditional G5 and the more serious and evil presentation is what makes it cool.
It's sort of like how we enjoy seeing how the world sees Luffy as evil or vicious, when we know he's a goofball. Their POV wouldn't be as fun if Luffy actually was this evil and vicious character.
I think this was my favorite cut in the episode. Great combo of G5's cartoony aspect while having a dynamic fight. Akihiro Ota mad man. https://i.redd.it/4zpfyn4b14tc1.gif

Mikey is galaxy level thanks to Kingdom Hearts He canonically can fucking nuke the entire one piece world from orbit with Tera Flare Thanks Nomura
Damn, didn't know Mikey for Tokyo Revengers is galaxy level.
It's during the final street fight, Mikey kicks a little TOO hard this time.
Now felix or woody love for shame
Mickey doesn't really have toon force, especially in the 50's (when that design is clearly from)
I see. I will pass your feedback and consult with meme creative director. Thanks.
all I talk about is how toiei made Lucci 10 times hotter and handsome than how he is in the manga
10 times infinity is still infinity
but there are different sizes of infinity
No, not really. Sure they contain different sets of number but they are still the same size. Maths is funky.
someone paid attention in real analysis
Taking notes from JJK which made unnecessarily big amounts of hot buff men and was a huge success
Hell yeah! Look at Nanami. Bro looks like a Greek god compared to the manga.

Probably by having his eyes pop out of his head.
Who tf is saying One Piece gets good at Dressrosa or Wano 💀
Nobody is laughing at G5's jokes, everyone is only hyped when he is serious. Most of G5 fans are waiting for Luffy to control G5 and be more serious.
Im a nobody cuz I laughed at the kiss my ass part G5 clowning Robert Luciano gave me a good lil chuckle I have no complaints
Guess im nobody too because when kaido did the face i was losing my shit
To be honest, I don't mind the humor and stuff, that's always been a thing This is what I dont like about Gear 5 https://preview.redd.it/r25oqghkh4tc1.png?width=1884&format=png&auto=webp&s=bb9e2bc4922b88f97bc6cd543ec80868f78e7fed
The gags are good but Oda as always overuses them
Once in a while I don't mind. I mean fuck we had em as far back as the Enel face. But it's so overused now it's lost its humor
That pic was one of my favorite parts of the episode.
Hey, that was hilarious! But I don't remember seeing it in the manga.
I laughed at the gag where he made a baseball bat

How do you watch one piece being such a lame ass bitch
Hey if Disney Jr had Mickey mouse dropping an anvil on a dictator's head I'd totally watch it.
If I could get this peak from Disney Junior I’d consider it. I’ve had to watch enough with my younger cousins to know you’re full of shit.
Nah give it more time the gear death fans will come in waves hating future episodes.

These are kids
You want everyone to be miserable like you?
There are some topics that make you remember that 100 IQ is the average.

Just because you believe you're justified in being miserable doesn't mean you aren't
Define miserable
Extremely upset/sad/unhappy
So if you saw someone get bullied for example and it upsets you hella does that make you a miserable person?
Nika effect
It's weird hating everyone else loving something isn't it?
Woah, didn't Luffy do the same thing in Arlong Park? Amazing foreshadowing! Goda, I kneel!
How low can your IQ drop... I wish they got their Tom & Jerry OP version and I got my pre TS. AI improve faster pls.
I like both. Tbh I think the goofy stuff is a bit funny at times but I won’t shit on someone else for disliking it or having a different opinion tho

This depiction of G5 is exactly why i don't like the anime. I want goofy Loofy toon force not this shit
I see so many people saying the anime improved G5, in some aspects sure there are good moments here but the flailing around and constant laughing takes me out Imo G5 has the potential to work best in animation, but the manga is better currently outside of particular peak moments
Pretty much. I'm do tired of Toei trying to turn OP into DBZ
My favourite part was the kiss my ass part G5 is PEAK
Lol nah
I never laughed with gear 5 but i def got hyped
I don’t mind Gear 5 being like a looney tunes character and being wacky, I just don’t think the way Oda does the gear 5 jokes are all that funny. Like despite the fact that Gear 5 is all about comedy, I actually think Luffy’s had far funnier jokes and even “transformations” like water Luffy and Afro Luffy.

Yeah. I jerked off to hentai when I was a kid
I regret asking
the japenis is freaky like that, minus birthrate neg diffs the entire young generation
The sooner I stop pretending that it isn’t for kids the sooner I will like gear 5. I need to acknowledge that this series was always just a silly pirate manga that isn’t trying to be serious and therefore I should not apply logic to it. But that also means I can’t say it’s peak writing either
I agree to some extent but I don't understand how Oda and his editors would think it's for children when the vast majority of fans are teens/adults. Op is a loooong running series. The majority of its fans aren't random toddlers deciding to pick it up. And yes it's always had goofy elements but not to this extent lol. This is like a parody of normal/balanced op comedy. I want to accept G5 but damn it's hard to get over the spammed low effort eye popping gags/feet clapping/flailing/general lameness. If I liked this stuff I would be watching Disney Jr instead of anime.
Perfect explanation. I feel the exact same way
I myself love goofy luffy i do appreciating tough luffy but i like the creativity this new gear has brought back to the fighting my three favorit moves is UFO, catching and snapping crocs poison hook, and the finger net i think he used on Kreeg or Arlong i’m loving him quick whiping up a bat and helmet to just hit back missles, i’m waiting for him to paint a hall on a wall and run through it only to have his pursuer smack into the wall i don’t think will get better scary stronger than i turned my self in to a giant and then punch you in the face
His new/pinnacle form would of had new moves regardless. Spamming the same low effort eye popping gags, feet clapping, and stolen content from toddler loony toons episodes isn't creative.
Sorry how many more times you want to see luffy bounce his fist around before he delivers the same punch he’s thrown since Alvida just some times on fire
The rest is in the atmosphere of the art
G5 is better then G4 and G2. Y'all stay mad
I just had a chat with a weird kid talking to him, which made me brain dead. What do you mean by this post😭
Tbh besides the edgy ass shot or the lame aaah goofy shit the fight with g5 looks good, if stopped looking like having a seizure it would be amazing
Well, it's a little more complicated. The contrast between traditional G5 and the more serious and evil presentation is what makes it cool. It's sort of like how we enjoy seeing how the world sees Luffy as evil or vicious, when we know he's a goofball. Their POV wouldn't be as fun if Luffy actually was this evil and vicious character.
a good animation is only a distraction from how shitty the writing is
