    Episode 1071 marks the debut of Luffy’s Gear 5 in the One Piece anime. The episode aired on 6th August 2023 and is aptly titled “Luffy’s Peak – Attained! Gear 5”. It is directly adapted from the manga chapter 1044 and is directed by Tatsuya Nagamine. The episode starts with Luffy’s heartbeat beating like a drum all around Onigashima. Luffy finally finishes his Gear 5 transformation and grabs Kaido back onto the roof. Kaido and Luffy are both equally surprised by this transformation. The episode also marks the debut of Luffy’s devil fruit awakening in the One Piece anime.

    While the Gomu Gomu No Mi was considered to be a paramecia-type devil fruit, it was later revealed to be a Mythical Zoan also known as the Hito Hito No Mi, Model: Nika. Along with it, the episode also covers all of the reactions from Strawhats to their allies to Luffy’s peak form. The final form of Luffy sees him toying with and fighting Kaido with absolutely no struggle at all.

    After Zunesha declares the return of Joyboy in the previous episode, this reveals and the insane powerup feels exhilarating at best. And even more with Luffy beating up Kaido with all his comical theatrics on the skull dome.

    Although the episode marks the definitive arrival of Luffy’s Gear 5 in One Piece Anime, the form had its glory in one of the recent films. One Piece Film: Red which was released on 4th November 2022 consisted of Luffy using the transformation for a brief moment.
