Oda wrote himself to corner and did a literal deus ex

This is so unnecessary. Luffy's other forms are so much cooler looking and unique. I didn't think Oda would stoop this same shit

DBZ really kinda ruin a generation of anime in a way. And ironically Goku characterization was ruined by Luffy cause he's stupider than ever.

Are you trying to be a cult leader here? Get behind the line, fag. Your opinion worth less than the toilet paper I just used to wipe my ass.

Read the fucking manga for once. Toonman is kino and unique.

Luffy can get fairly smart once he is serious. He wants to be the freeest man of the world so usually leaves the burden of thinking to his friends.

it's not a "literal deus ex"

No, she's mine

He's a literal God.

>Luffy can get fairly smart once he is serious. He wants to be the freeest man of the world so usually leaves the burden of thinking to his friends.

Then why be a pirate king?

The absolute State

>They think this is super Saiyan
Luffy is far smarter than Goku ever was

yup, power scaling is off the charts and gets to ridiculous levels of boredom

only solution is to reset characters to normal and believable levels like Gon in HxH

Cool he is still going back and forth with one of the four yonkou

low IQ post

Nope we saw on the moon the story is forcing to Enel to be a good guy whether he likes it or not he'll probably ally with Luffy in the final war.

Super saiyan was better than both of these

It's not yellow gatwy

Definition:
deus ex machina, (Latin: “god from the machine”) a person or thing that appears or is introduced into a situation suddenly and unexpectedly and provides an artificial or contrived solution to an apparently insoluble difficulty.

Minus the zohan retcon gear 5 is working how most people expected luffy's awakening to be

His hair looks like his fruit, so I can't complain.

So you don't like the story anymore and whatever? Ok, that's cool. It's going to continue and others will read it regardless of what you think. Imagine that.

>Is it yellow? UGH
>no it isn't
>STLL ISN'T SPECIAL EVEN IF IT ISN'T YELLOW!

I didn't know they allowed actual retards on Yea Forums

it's not yellow, it's white
Oda is not in charge of fanart, user

It will be a glorious day when the Sunny leaves Wano without Yamawhore. The tears of the Yamato fags will flow like a mighty river. The rustling of their jimmies will put the Gura Gura no mi to shame.
The accumulated butthurt of all their seething will foam up about their waists and all the waifufags and edgelords will look up and shout "Save us!" and I'll whisper "No."

all he needed to do was the awaking whole nika stuff throw to garbage

this. nika shit adds nothing except perhaps give an explanation for the flames but that could have been explained with some whacky friction physics instead.
they even could said that JoyBoy ate the same fruit but still have it be the normal rubber fruit in lieu of this god shit.

we don't care about you so ok

the god shit is simply this shit

>Naruto
who?

But Devil fruit awakening was plenty established already. The fact that its form is slightly different than what we thought it would be doesn't really change anything at all about how it helps resolve the situation.
This is less of a Deus ex than gear second was, and nobody complained about that.

I really like this power. I loathe the retcon on the gum-gum fruit though.
Making it be another "Oh we didnt mention this before, but the source of power that didnt stand out from the powers of other characters, and was quite a bit weaker by itself than others at his power level, making it really cool that the MC was able to use it effectively? Yeah it was actually a godlike power" was the lamest shit.

There are non-retards on here?

Power levels were a mistake.

What will they do to Luffy’s voice when they adapt Gear 5 to the anime?

Mickey Mouse inflection.

Looks like the Mera Mera no Mi

Nothing, they Yamato and Momo said it sounds like Luffy, but doesn't look like him

Haki ruined One Piece. It removed devil fruits usefulness.

Oh, so something that EVERYONE knew was going to be something. Was something is a Deus ex machina now?
This is like a scene where there is a gun in a safe the whole time, and everyone knows that the gun is there, but people do not know what color it is. Everyone speculates what color it might be, but everyone knows that there is a gun there, it is both established with the audience and in universe for hundreds of chapters now, and foreshadowed for hundreds more before it was established.
And now it turns out the gun was yellow, and you are now calling it a dues ex machine because you expected the gun to be blue.
This is literally how stupid you sound

I wouldn't say that but I do dislike the amount of super high-tier characters that seem to be pure haki instead of having cool busted devil fruits. Back then the sign of a ridiculously powerful character was Whitebeard showing up and cracking the air and sending tremors through Marineford. Now it's just guys who can punch super duper ultra hard

Not omnipotent
Definitely not Omniscient or Omnipresent
Not a God, low tier demigod at best

Hito Hito no Mi, Model Hercules wen?
Hm.
What if that’s Uroge’s DF?
Or maybe he’s just using a Six Powers style martial art

Man this looks so cool
one piece designs never appealed to me but this one really hits the spot

I like Yamato (Oden LARP aside) but I’ll be laughing my ass of right there with you if she stays. Yamafags have gotten far too cocky and need to be taught a lesson

Not gonna lie, this looks fucking TERRIBLE.
His previous form where he got muscular and had the tattoos looked dumb but compared to this shit it was way more unique. A form where just the hair goes blonde is just another Super Saiyan knockoff.

Can you people please actually read the manga before posting

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. So the whole time Luffy wasn't made of rubber he was borrowing the powers of his zoan form which is a sun god with cartoon powers and the governemnt changed it's name to make it less sought out in a cover-up but it was still highly sought out anyway by everyone but the only faction that knew how insanely dangerous it would be in the wrong hands?

Okay, no. Getting thrashed by KnY and JJK has clearly made Oda shift gears into a more modern Shonen story style because this is just nonsensical compared to the master class foreshadowing and planning we're used to. He wants to escape from the fate of becoming MHA tier by suddenly giving luffy a more marketable form change than the other gears. After-all why find creative use to make an ability OP when you can just make some shit up to make them OP as long as the audience doesn't mind? right?

Kishimoto popularized doing this shit. Naruto fucking ruined anime and manga

We don't know the full details yet.
>800 years ago joyboy used it, awakened it
>joyboy looses/fails
>WG (or CD/Imu) of that time decide to alter all their history books and say nika = gomu
>as far as we're aware current gorosei don't know the gomu = nika fact until shanks tells them, it's a secret held by Imu (and those that know, maybe information about the fruit (what it can do) is recorded in poneglyphs)
>being a human zoan, the only change visible to anyone would be display of 'a power' in this case it's rubberization, reinforced when Shanks calls it the gomu, thus luffy believes him, "this is all I can do, stretch"
>there's no indication that when transporting the fruit WsW knew exactly what it was
They outright try to acquire it, but presumably fail every time. You can now argue if fate or 'the will of the fruit' is bad, but we've seen evidence of both already.

>But Devil fruit awakening was plenty established already.
Yes, but
>Um actually the powers he's had for decades was actually a lie and his fruit is a totally different type that lets him turn into a god
Is a literal deus ex machina. at no point was luffy implied to be anywhere near a God with cartoon powers before having to fight someone unbeatable by normal means.

He's not a literal god you fucking morons.
>cartoon powers
Gear fucking 3. Air into a thumb bone? Transfers to other bones? How does he summon fire for red attacks?
>it's just cartoon logic
Obviously.

I know you're desperate but saying
>This form isn't a deus ex machina if you retcon the explanations already given to accommodate it
That's the big problem. You can make it make sense, it's fiction after all. However, it's so clumsily executed that in order to make it not clash with itself you have to rebuild the story around it. Had Oda not been so meticulous in his world building and power system, even when introducing haki, this wouldn't stand out nearly as much as it does. It's not the end of the world like most people are saying and I'm sure Oda will make it work in the long run, but pretending this execution is good writing is delusional.
