Hey do you think Luffy has
Do you think he has
*snirk*
Stretch marks?
what I absolutely LOVE about Gear 5 is that it works on readers exactly the same way as it's working on characters, on the whole setting and narrative in the body of story. Oda created Joy Boy as someone said to bring happiness and laughter to the people - and people in real life laugh seeing Luffy's shenanigans
and what's even better - except for the people who are truly mean spirited (well, if it isn't like in the body of story again...), the whole fandom is united in this joy like in no other case. from theorists and powerscalers to shippers and selfshippers, from so called dudebros to queer fans, no matter the gender, no matter the status, no matter ethnicity: everyone laughs
I swear, Oda must have sold his soul to achieve this power
Man I hope the audio designers were having SO MUCH FUN working on Gear 5 scenes
C'mon heart, beat loudly again! 💓
Luffy in last 100 episodes be like
the entire gear 5 vs kaidou fight is so funny because kaidou is trying SO HARD to have his epic super duper serious battle shonen smackdown but his opponent is out here in looney toons world and he Does Not Like It One Bit.
He gets defeated but not in any way that satisfies him. There’s no dignity to it in his mind.
he is like a little creature to me
Okay but Gear 5 representing how under facism the simple act of laughing of being happy becomes a powerful political weapon because the number one thing facists want is for everyone they don’t like to suffer and die
*survives the horrors by being such a silly goofy guy that my presence fundamentally changes the genre*
He really just fucked off and nobody did nothing bc it was the boss musical number time lmao
Can’t wait to see Luffy change the world by being such a silly little guy
They're playing gay chicken
You know in hindsight Oda should’ve just given Nami a boob window from the start. It honestly fits her characterization way better since Nami mostly uses her sex appeal as a tool to get out of a pinch. The boob window allows her to cater to the male gaze as needed without her entire look being dominated by it.
i'm not sorry for the person I will become when Gear five gets animated
I had one very silly thought and ran with it. Please enjoy this very dumb Zoro comic 😅
Our beloved short king… oh the humanity…
