One Piece anime drops first look at Gear 5 \u201cJoyboy\u201d Luffy CrunchyrollOne Piece has given fans a new look at Luffy in his Gear 5 Joyboy form, and needless to say we\u2019re excited. After almost two years of waiting, One Piece\u2019s recent episode gave fans the first glimpse of Luffy\u2019s Gear 5, setting the stage for the upcoming episode 1071. Expectations had been high for the appearance of Luffy\u2019s Gear 5 Joyboy form, but what we\u2019ve got so far seems to be living up to the hype. This has translated into excitement on Twitter, as fans rejoiced at the first look at Luffy in his Gear 5 form. One Piece has finally given fans a first look at Luffy\u2019s Gear 5 Luffy\u2019s Gear 5,and his subsequent Joyboy form, has finnaly appeared during his recent battle with Kaido. Kaido had been our protagonist\u2019s biggest foe to date, with Luffy not winning one round against him. At one point, Luffy even receives a fatal blow from a CP0 agent while fighting Kaido. However, this pushes Luffy to the brink as he awakens his devil fruit and transforms into the Sun God Nika, taking the first step toward the liberation of the world. Tatsuya Nagamine, the series\u2019 director for Episode 1071, has stated in an interview: \u201cWe tried to do it just like in the Manga. But our dream started to broaden. The animators were all very enthusiastic about it. Anyway, many people gathered from around the world to work on Gear 5. Four different languages were used in one meeting. Everyone loves One Piece so much.\u201d He also mentioned Gear 5\u2019s laughing part. \u201cI thought it would be difficult to do the laughing parts, so I tried to cut down on the laughter a little. But Ms. Mayumi Tanaka went above and beyond and gave us an amazing Gear 5 laugh. And the final result exceeded our expectations.\u201d Fans rejoice at Joyboy\u2019s return for One Piece Gear 5 This short clip of Luffy\u2019s Gear 5 began making the rounds across Twitter, with fans expressing their excitement for the upcoming chapter and Luffy\u2019s new abilities. We won\u2019t spoil what\u2019s going to happen with Joyboy and Kaido \u2013 if you want to find out you can read the manga \u2013 but if you\u2019re wondering what all of this means, we\u2019ll explain down below. Who is Joyboy, and how are they connected to Gear 5? Like every Shonen protagonst, Luffy has a special ability. For him, these abilities are a Paramecia-type devil fruit and a very strong Haki. However, his Gear 5 transformation is a cut above the rest. Luffy is the only character in the entire series to have a devil fruit that can change its properties after awakening, as this was not ordinary devil fruit, but a Mythical Zoan. After Luffy\u2019s awakening, it was discovered that some devil fruits have enough consciousness to avoid those they don\u2019t wish to be consumed by. Therefore, it\u2019s likely the powerful fruit chose Luffy as its next user. As for said fruit\u2019s previous user? The Void Century\u2019s Joyboy. Before this, Joy Boy was believed to be a name, but it turns out to be a title. So as Luffy awakens, Zunesha announces him as the second Joy Boy, born after 800 years to liberate the world from the tyranny of the World Government. We\u2019ll have to wait and see if he succeeds. One Piece Episode 1071 will release on August 6 on Crunchyroll.
