Ayeee bruh y'all boys funny asl fr 😭😭😭 how y'all sub count not at 100k? Y'all deserve more recognition fr keep it up wit these reactions! Pray y'all make it big on this platform 💯💯

Luffy has always been goofy. The fruit didn’t change his personality at all it just heightened his personality. This is his devil fruit “awakening.” It allows him to be rubber but with his “Awakening” he can do ANYTHING to his imagination, that’s why his surroundings was changing (The reason for the different animation) hope this helps!

If this isn't THE reaction everyone was looking for idk what is. I respect you guys can appreciate how unique one piece really is without ever have watching it.

“Marvin, look!” Just had me laughing along so much, what a treasure

As an OP fan for 10 years this has been the best reaction to gear 5 for me, realising that you guys have been sleeping on OP has put the biggest smile on my face cos you aren't alone there are so many that say its rubbish but it's cos they just think it's too long. This will be the video I play anyone that doubts it

If you guys don't care about spoilers,I recommend you to watch episode 1061 and 1062 , these two episodes have the best animation and amazing fight of sanji and Zoro.

I'm new to this channel and I loved your reaction, even without being fans they give credit to the series and they knew how to appreciate the cartoon style unlike many fans, that speaks highly of you and your open mind.

I love when they tell each other "you don't understand" especially "Marvin you don't understand, you just don't understand" right after Marvin said exactly what he said 😂 good stuff

I loved your reactions! We've been reading/watching One Piece since 2003 and we took our kids through it last year. It took them 8 months, but they did it and they were able to enjoy this episode with us! Watch it! One Piece is the greatest story ever told, and you don't want to be left behind once the world discovers what this amazing treasure really is!

The best One Piece, a storyline that has been built for more than 20 years. everything is very neatly arranged. "In my opinion" there isn't going to be a manga / anime that can make a storyline as good as one piece. I hope Oda Sensei will always be given health so he can complete this story until it's finished.

18:00 I think the word your looking for is "Toon Force" as in the bending of the reality we comprehend normally and how cartoon characters lets say Bugs for example can just do some random stuff outside of normal physics. That's basically Gear 5

That felt 3 minutes. Bro's not even a one piece fan but he know how we feel.

The problem is, it would be bad to miss any arcs in one piece because they are all cohesive. One Piece is known for its world building. For example, one character from the first arc may appear in the later arcs.

For two dudes who dont watch the anime, you guys have the best reactions to this. Better than actual one piece fans! Respect

This is history in the making. If it doesn't surpass super Saiyan in cultural impact I wont be surprised but, it is going to be close. Time will tell. This new transformation changes the game in anime for sure.

Inspired by Tom & Jerry, Oda sensei drew every panel in the OP manga exactly as depicted in this episode. Episode 1071 is a near perfect adaptation 🥺 (My only issue is them re-using the same animation cut 3 times, instead of doing somethign different each time)

One Piece has always been this different, it’s done things other anime never thought was possible, I’d recommend starting it because it’s stellar

he was laughing like that cause it has something to do with joyboy, it’s said that in the persons most painful moment joyboy will bring laughter to their faces

the "looney tunes effects" are part of Luffy's powers, he manifests his desires and freedom and it affects the things around him, including the ones he fights

Marvin... Marvin this nigga just grabbed the floor 🤣🤣🤣

Yes the characters are wierd and unique is more deep and can go dark but thats the idea Oda the creator wanted to make something unique goofy and fun from other mangas/animes is long but is worth it world building is amazing the story 10/10 and he needed it this goofy world for hes Toon Force power to work properly. Gear 5 is inspired by Tom and Jerry

Yall are funny as hell! Loved this reaction. You just got yourself a new subscriber with this one. I know it feels long as hell, but as someone who had to try 3 times before I really got into One Piece- I promise you that it is worth it. One of the best animes of all time IMO. And enjoying the progression from "This show looks goofy asf" to "Holy shit, this is so hype" is part of the journey that makes us all love One Piece. You will not regret it!

Bruh y’all reaction was better than most one piece fans. If you haven’t reacted to 1062 Zoro vs King, I think you should. It got a 9.9 rating EDIT: the genuine reaction yall had was goated. Epic reaction y’all respect

he is really joyboy , in fact anyone who sees him smiles and laughs . And as for them this has had an effect on us , now I have seen multiple reactions to this episode and I can confirm that luffy has brought joy to all of us with a laugh.

One Piece aint too long, its too short, it aint long enough. You need to start watching it, *from the beginning,* from Episode 1. Everybody has different points where they start liking One Piece, some ep 1, some ep 25, some ep 100, but you gotta start from the beginning. It's the only reasonable advice I can give as someone who's been watching/reading it for 20 years.

Just the name "joyboy" will tell you why there are such cartoony characteristics in G5. It shows that he literally is the most happiest man on earth and he is ADDICTED to laughing. he gets stronger the more he laughs.

I started watching One Piece last December and got caught up right before 1070 Aired. It’s definitely a long sit down and takes a lot of free time away, but I can say without a doubt my only regret is that I didn’t start watching it sooner. It’s my favorite manga/anime to ever exist even trumping dragonball for me

Hearing you say you watched the first 30 episodes broke my heart as a OP fan. Another few episodes and you would have been at the first really hype moment of the series. The part that many people say made them absolutely fall in love with the series.

Had to come back to this now that you guys are 100+ episodes in. Marvin being a true hater to a true fan is the best.

he's actually laughing because he is so free and thats what and who joyboy is

Bro don’t let the amount of episodes turn you off it’s a anime that the more you watch the more you love and enjoy

If you think this episode had high budget, just know that the next episode was the episode the animators have been hyping up more than this one

“But What is he really laughing at?!” That’s the real questions fuck yeah!!!! 🤯 haha spoke to my soul with that question

Nahh this video was funny asl!😭😭 If yall ever want to react to more one piece, yall should react to episode 1062 zoro vs king.

Again STEPPERS I'm so glad i found yall channel and this was the first video of yall i found on youtube and i immediately subscribed to the channel. Im a manga reader and when this chapter dropped i somehow avoided all the spoilers that came out on twitter back then and when i read this......i had the biggest smile + i was happy and even more when i saw this being animated. Keep up the great STEPPERS !

I have tried to get a few people to try and don’t try anymore your reactions to this episode is what I hope my friends will be lol how can we go back to the start and we picked the wrong episode all excited. Thank you for this I hope you guys have a good time if you watch or not

Glad to see you actually ended up watching it, and as far as I'm capable of assuming, loving it. You're in for a wild ride.

Its like a cartoon because Gear 5 basically makes him into a cartoon character. It increases his freedom with rubber for him to do whatever he wants with his imagination. He’s laughing because thats what the form does to him. “Awakening” your devil fruit, specifically a Zoan devil fruit(Zoan Devil fruits turn you into an animal or specific being), makes you take on the personality of said animal/being the fruit is. Nika (Joyboy) has a body like rubber and was known to bring laughter to people. Thus, when Luffy died he “awakened” his fruit and it caused him to take on the form of Nika. You can only “Awaken” your fruit if your body and mind become completely in tune with your devil fruit. Luffy was in tune in both body and mind. He just needed to be basically killed for it to finally “awaken”. So in that form, Luffy basically has toon force. The only limit to his ability is his own imagination

Apparently Oda, the creator of One Piece was growing tired with traditional serious anime fights and integrated what he loved about looney tunes animation in his days into the fights, I can tell he was super happy to get to gear 5th.

Tell the dude on the left he ain’t stupid he on point Lowkey

Mans rethinking his life🤣🤣 Gear 5 be changing people ong🤣

hahaha I love to see how much you guys liked this episode!! I really hope you watch the next episode! As a side note you guys should know that it was actually the author Oda-sensei that came up with the idea to make Gear Fifth have a cartoon physics based style. He drew it that way in the manga a year ago when this was first revealed and they did an amazing job of animating it with Warner Bros in this episode. I've also been waiting since 2022 for this episode. One Piece is my favorite anime and I can confirm that Oda is a master of foreshadowing and storytelling. This series has been going for more than 26 years and Oda has actually been hinting and foreshadowing the Sun God and Joyboy related info since the beginning.

As a one piece fan who only started last year and is in the 650s let me tell you, every time I see clips or watch this fight I have a permanent grin on my face and am shaking with hype EVERY SINGLE TIME

Definitely coming back next week for yalls reaction this is THE best reaction ive ever seen keep it up (BTW if you want to watch one piece look up One Pace is takes out a lot of the bad pacing and will save you a ton of time if you're interested!)

Gear 5 has the power of applying cartoon logic and is only limited to his own imagination while everyone else is bound by normal laws of physics. The reason the animation is "goofy" is symbolic to his freedom and his imagination.

The beautiful thing about one piece is it doesnt matter how long you take. Enjoy the journeyof the best anime. His power is toon force

I saw people complain there were too many flashbacks in the episode but they helped you understand what is going on with no context. Clearly the worked and served their purpose!

Oda been wanting to this forever. The manga chapter was fire but he was seeing this whole fight in motion bc it's absolute Looney Tunes chaos and is probably happy as fuck with it bc the panels are drawn for the motion and music...and he got what he wanted, living the dream.

This is so hype, this guy went straight to the climax and doesn’t mind

Oda is only a bit older than me. We both grew up with Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, etc. And those cartoon elements run throughout One Piece. Is a cartoon not an utterly free animation style? Whatever the artist dreams can be drawn. Luffy is just like that. He's completely free to fight however he wants now. Freedom is one of the founding pillars of One Piece along with dreams Starting with Super Sayian all shounen power ups were out of rage moments. Oda didn't want that with Gear 5.

"i'm one piece hater". Also them 5 mins later: "AYO MAYBE WE SHOULD START THIS SHIT"

Bruh as a one piece fan idc y’all weren’t Bout it before just join the fam and come on over lmao this what we’ve been waiting for over here and we got enough to share. Great reaction. And yeah him reaching his awakening basically let’s him use the creativity and lightheartedness he’s always had as a weapon. He got that kid buu demon hour energy

You guys needs to see this Gear 5 exactly as a Looney Toon or like a "The Mask" movie situation, he literally unlock a god transformation and in this form he can mod and transform pretty much everything xD He can make the floor rubber, the clouds, he can touch someone an punch trow it like a cartoon network show, xD it´s crazy... it´s amazing... I LOVE it xDDD i´ll recommend to you to see the entire show, you´ll like it as well xD

I was a One Piece hater, but after watching Gear 5 I decided to watch the Live Action on Netflix and I was sold. 2 months later I'm caught up with the anime. Best decision I've made in my adult life.

"HOW DO YOU GRAB THE FLOOR!?" LMAO love it

Y'know that joy you feel when you're like 7-10 years old watching something new, that's what it felt like for me. I haven't felt like that in like 10-15 years man

You gained a new follower for your honest reaction! keep it up guys! So to sum it up; according to Oda the creator of One Piece, Gear 5 was drawn as a joke, and he took this risk knowing that his fans might hate him for it. Oda believes that battle mangas are always becoming more and more serious due to following the expectations that readers have from them, and he certainly isn't a fan of that. That is precisely why Gear 5 is such a fun transformation and Oda believes that he successfully managed to achieve that during Luffy's fight against Kaido. Oda even went as far as saying "Think of it as I suddenly drew 'Tom and Jerry'".

The day people stop sleeping on one piece because it is directly in competition to your favourite animes or looks goofy or is too long is the day you realize its in competition for a reason, it makes you smile and isn’t long enough.

The big reveal of his fruit is that he isn't just rubber, he's a God that has the powers of ToonForce. Basically Luffy can do anything limited by his imagination and acts according to the animation basics of cruch, stretch and exageration. He's all sorts of broken.

ya know how you watch a show and you don't want it to end. This doesn't. And that's why it is one of the greats.

Gear 5 is essentially Looney Toons physics on steroids.

For me old animation style from 2000 never really throws me off anything and loads of episodes means more stuff and fun

I love how you guys went from haters to fans within 5 mins ❤keep it up

Yes the devil in the fruit restarted his heart after he died… so the fruit decided he was worthy to inherit his god ability

MARVIN!!!😂 Awesome reaction guys!

New to this channel, loved the reactions! Most people call this One Piece Hype, but in the Land of Wano they call this Ryuo, it has the meaning of Flow.

I've been watching one piece since it came out on Saturday morning cartoons in the 90s and yes I understand not wanting to watch long episodes or series but unless you watch it from the beginning you're not going to understand how it all led up to this Oda is just nuts and I love it

Luffy is basically animes version of neo its like he woke up and realized he was in a cartoon an can do whatever he wants...this episode was so exciting because we waited like 20 years to get to this point

Dudes, I can really feel y'all's hesitation about starting from Ep. 1. That is a daunting task ahead of you. For real, the whole of the East Blue arc is mainly set-up of the world and the Strawhat crew. Mostly comedy with a dash of action and adventure. It's very lighthearted fun adventuring up until the early 100s. I would rely on the One Piece abridged series to do a basic catch up and go back for more detail when you so choose. After Alabasta it ebbs and flows with each new arc. The tension builds til crescendo of epic boss fight then it goes back to goofy fun again. And repeat. (That formula changes after the time skip though) As to the animation... as you can see, it gets better. (For Gear 5 the OP team had help and consultation from the WB Looney Tunes animators) The animators have had over 20 years of practice with trial and error. I'll admit it's very basic and cartoony in the beginning because OP was just beginning but you can definitely see how it progresses year after year and arc after arc. You do what you do, guys. I just implore you not to judge an epic tale such as One Piece by the first 30 or 40 episodes. That's barely flipping the cover open.

Fun fact it's only 380 or so hours to watch the entire one piece series to current releases. That's 16 days. Easy to break up into segments to catch up quickly.

Yo Buggy aint no clown. Thats Buggy the GOAT. You gotta go into One Piece with an open-mind. You gone see some wild stuff but by the end of the arc, you gone be like. "Ay, that clown went hard"

Fifth gear is like oda giving luffy the manga pen (6 year old imagination) and saying what you want the fight to be like ... and luffy starts drawing and laughing 😅

it’s funny how y’all acknowledge each other’s names too 😂💯

One thing that differs One Piece from many other mangas is that power ups are super RARE. Whenever a boss is defeated it's not due to a powerup (friendship or other bs), its just characters using their wits and skills. So right now seeing luffy having a massive powerup is HUGE for the overall story. Also if you guys watched all the previous episodes you would know that Luffy has always been goofy, both in and out of combat. The awakening of his devil fruit simply amplified his goofyness. The cartoony effects are totally in line with Luffy's character.

My guess is warner bros' primary involvement was with the rights to copyrighted sound effects. Love the hype btw lol glad you guys got on board!

We’re not laughing at you!! We’re HAPPY to have you onboard!! 🥰

The word your looking for is toon force. Summary. Toon Force, also named Cartoon Physics, is an ability that refers to characters manipulating reality or bypassing physical laws of nature in order to achieve impossible feats for comedic effects.

EVERY Devil Fruit has an Awakened form of the power. Not everyone can get the fruit to evolve while they possess the powers, but this was him FINALLY getting to his evolved fruit status. The evolution of the fruit allows you to not just change yourself, but the environment and others around you. As the decades go by, One Piece has evolved from basic cartoon graphics to full circle anime movie quality graphics.

Welcome aboard fellas!🙏🏾 can’t wait for next week!

its funny to imagine they just saw this irl and are just debating like "MARVIN HE JUST GRABBED THE FUCKING FLOOR"

"two black men react to a white man getting whiter"

The lightning is a completely different power but it's a power that's influenced by your state of mind so him being in gear 5 probably puts him in a state of mind that make the lightning much stronger

Freedom, Wealth, Fame, Power. Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates, obtained this and everything else the world had to offer & his dying words drove countless souls to the seas: "You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place! Now you just have to find it!" These words lured men to the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams greater than they've ever dared to imagine! This is the time known as 'The Great Pirate Era!' But do you know what Gold Roger did when the treasure he sought was first placed in front of his eyes? ...He Laughed

The one big thing none of us ever expected was this transformation, even Oda thought us fans would hate it, but coming from the childhood I had watching Tom and Jerry, Flintstones, and Looney Tunes... when I read this in the manga, and now seeing it animated. All I can say is Luffy is living up to the name Joyboy, from beginning to end I was smiling and laughing. As for when does it get good.... it's hard to say, because for me I was hooked after Arlong Park (as I know many who are the same) yet others said it was Water 7, or Alabasta, or even further arcs before they were hooked. What I would suggest for getting into it is One Pace it cuts out filler.... though there is not a lot of filler, the problem that most find with the anime is the pacing especially looking at one of the arcs that was one of the best but felt so long. Or if you want to consume it faster there is always the manga itself where the pacing is great. And one last thing is the way you two are and how you argue is amazing and if you do react to One Piece especially now I expect an explosion for you two, feast as we feast but go back and get the context at the same time.

yalls reactions are funny af and entertaining this episode was fire

haha awesome vid guys 🤣 One Piece is goofy but also extreamly serious and brutal at times. if you actually watch the show ull cry, laugh and get angry at things, its great! This ep was WILD! Never had this much fun or laughed this much from an anime ep dudes 😝 and yes Warner Bros was in on this, so the looney tunes wibes hit hard man !😝 Luffy actually died, but his fruit kinda restarted his heart and awaken his full powers and in this Gear 5 he can make anything into rubber 😂 The ending song was last on OP about 17 years ago xD

the power of freedom, he can turn anything around him rubbery and goofy😂

they learn the lesson " don't judge the book by it's cover" the hard way lol

The word "FREEDOM" in one is a great deal, cause no one is Free in the world of one piece

Came back here and just noticed at the start ya'll boys said obviously we aint gonna start from episode 1, n then 8 mins later "we might have to start this show Marvin" 🤣🤣Otakubroz you guys the goat!! You guys were meant to watch OP Boys 😂😂😂

honest reaction and even an honest background about one piece, yall def gained my sub 🫶🏽 cant wait to see more

The drums are his heart beat and his gear five activated when he was on the brink of death

All I’m gonna say it’s never too late to start from the beginning and if y’all do trust me it’s going to be fast.

Oda's actually a huge fan of old cartoon style of animation. This is a love letter to it ♥

you guys should react to episode 1015 and 1062 those are some really great episodes like this one with really insane animation

If you do start, I would recommend from the beginning because there are small details from the beginning they will come back later in the future that will be really important to the story and make some parts. More sad or more exciting I have watched from the beginning the first few episodes were OK but then after I got to our long park I was so hyped and I couldn’t stop watching. It was now my favorite anime after that. Haha But I feel like this anime is one of those animes it makes you feel happy it has beautiful scenery and hearing them always have fun and do crazy things together. It’s not like any other animes I’ve seen and how they put so many details into everything and to make stuff, come back into the future of the show even at the beginning, making back stories short, but then coming back in the future with the details that were hidden before , they put every detail they have just to make the story greater watching this anime as an OG fan it’s like I’m having the time of my life just watching this every fight is like the most type thing I’ve seen in my life and I will be rolling on the ground with excitement I can’t help but laugh whenever seeing such a goofy thing and oh fan , small details that we’re still waiting for till this day or from the hundreds This anime has come along way, and I feel like it will be one of the most well known for a long time even after finishing it completely people still come back years later, just to watch it❤ But if you do consider watching the anime, I bet you would love it❤

Gear 5 basically gives Luffy and anything around him Looney toons physics

reaction worth watching hahaha, you guys theorizing a about things we already know lmao and Mav trying to say Toon Force the whole time HAHAHA, happy you guys got the joy of One Piece

These guys funny as hell lmao, I am a one piece fan and I’m not caught up but I was there for this episode dropping lol

You guys didn’t pick the wrong episode, this was the gear 5 introduction, the next episodes will show the fight (in the manga it was this way)
