GAMERANT VIDEO OF THE DAY
SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT
One Piece anime is extremely close to the release of its biggest episode to date. The series already shared a teaser trailer on YouTube, which gained millions of views within a few days. Judging by the numbers alone, there is no denying that the masses are extremely excited to see Luffy attain his peak.
Gear Fifth’s introduction in the manga stood as one of the series’ most iconic moments. Because of that, fans of the series have eagerly been waiting to see Gear Fifth get animated. With the episode here, these are a few things that One Piece fans need to keep in mind.
The Staff
The attention of every fan will be on the animation in the episode. The entire Wano Country arc has been a treat for the eyes with its incredibly high level of animation. The arc has been nearly impeccable, and fans have had very little to complain about. The bigger fights in the arc have received amazing treatment, and they had some of the best action scenes in the anime’s history. Considering Luffy vs. Kaido is the main highlight of the arc, it is bound to be better than anything Toei has put out so far. A couple of weeks ago, there were strong rumors that Megumi Ishtani would be working on the episode, but she denied any involvement.
However, this does not mean that the episode does not have talented individuals working on it. So far, Tatsuya Nagamine, Akihiro Ota, Bahi JD, Masami Mori, Shinya Ohira, Yong Ce Tu, and Vincent Chansard have been confirmed to be a part of the staff for the Gear Fifth episodes. There is also speculation that Naotoshi Shida will also be involved in the episodes, but there is no confirmation yet. All of them are big names and have been responsible for producing some of the most memorable moments in the anime. With such a crop of talent working on Gear Fifth, there is no doubt the episode is going to be a major hit with fans.
The Story So Far
One Piece fans got to see an incredible stretch of episodes that covered the fights of Sanji, Zoro, Law, and Kid. All of them were outstanding and received positive reviews from the audience. In One Piece Episode 1070, fans saw Kaido go down from the rooftop to inform the rest of the alliance about their fate. They knew Kaido would not spare them after what they had done to Onigashima. Meanwhile, Momonosuke and Yamato were discussing how they would proceed.
However, their discussion was cut short by Zunesha, who began to talk to Momonosuke about the Drums of Liberation. The elephant told Momonosuke that it had not heard the sound in centuries and that it indubitably meant Joyboy had returned. This coincided with Luffy getting up and awakening the latent power of his Devil Fruit.
Significance Of Gear Fifth
Gear Fifth is the pinnacle of Luffy’s power, and it gives him more freedom than any of his previous powers. This is in line with Luffy’s dream of being the freest person in the world. Given the fact that Luffy is extremely close to his dream now, it makes sense for him to have a trump card that would see him over the finish line.
Luffy’s Devil Fruit is called Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, which is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit. Nika was the Sun God, who is said to have been revered by slaves. Since Luffy ate the Devil Fruit, he bears Nika’s will. The Devil Fruit was the sole reason why Luffy managed to get up after being dealt a severe blow by Kaido. The Devil Fruit has been sought by the World Government for centuries, but it always seemed to elude the organization. When the Devil Fruit was finally in possession of the Cipher Pol, Shanks attacked them and stole it. From there, the Devil Fruit remained with the Red-Haired pirate until Luffy accidentally ate it. This clearly seems to be the work of fate, a thing that is behind almost all the major events in One Piece.
What To Expect From The Episode
One Piece Episode 1071 is going to be legendary. Fans will get to see Luffy using Gear Fifth for the very first time. Manga readers already know what to expect in the episode, but they are still in for a treat as they will get to see the fight between Kaido and Luffy animated at an extremely high level. This battle will be different from any of the previous ones as it will feel a bit more fun and silly; after all, Gear Fifth embodies Luffy’s childish and pure spirit.
In the preview, Luffy used his newfound power to grab Kaido’s enormous body. Even the Yonko was baffled to see the sudden increase in Luffy’s strength. In the upcoming episode, the alliance’s morale will also be boosted by seeing Luffy return to the scene and fight the Strongest Creature in the World. Needless to say, Luffy and Kaido have given their all, and it is about time that their fight reaches a proper end, one that is devoid of any interference.
One Piece is now streaming on Crunchyroll.
