One Piece

Remember when Gear 4 was leaked and people were shitting on the design left and right only for fags years later to pretend it never happened? Same's happening to Gear 5.

The design is not the problem here, it look fine even

The design is the least of the problems spee D reader.

I still think bounce man looks retarded

I think it has lots of personality and only edgy teenagers don't like it.

people hate the naruto tier chosen one shit, nobody cares about the design

I liked it more after seeing it animated

I will be the first to not directly reply to OP

luffy trained to achieve this mode
gear 5 is pure asspull bullshit

I don't think i ever seen a single post complaining about the design. How can someone speed read not only the manga but the threads too?

I will be the first to reply directly to you.
Hi

>years later to pretend it never happened
No, it still looks like shit.

I mean I don't like it but that's not as important as this Nika bullshit.

I distinctively remember when dressrosa was nearing the end, some people were very vocal about the design

This scene is actually Mihawk using his Imu eyes to sense the will of the Nikka Nikka no Mi.

>some people were very vocal
Did they write a petition?

good times

Trained offscreen in a forced 2 year timeskip. It's never even been discussed or explained how a person is supposed to awaken their fruit. There doesn't seem to be an actual way to train it, it's just something that eventually happens aka inherently an asspull.

>nika fruit makes people happy around you and smile and shit
Kinda ruins Luffy as a character

Why? It's perfectly in line with what we've seen from Luffy for years.

Because it reduces a character trait to a power he gained from a fruit

If your brain could process thoughts more complicated than "likes thing" and "doesn't like thing" you'd be able to understand the reactions to Gear 5 just fine.

Gear 4 was the bad kind of goofy with Luffy having that retarded scowling face and overly muscular body that just amounts to punching shit even harder and faster. Gear 5 is the good kind of goofy with a greater focus on rubber hijinks.

I have consistently thought Gear 4 looked bad, but was saved by Snakeman which should have just been the default. Tankman was also ok as a 1-off gag.

No it doesn't, he's only just awakened the fruit now.
