Gear 5 Luffy Crashed Crunchyroll & Anime Streaming Platforms
The highly anticipated Luffy Gear 5 reveal, teased for weeks by Toei Animation, has been one of the most hotly discussed topics within the anime community. One Piece fans from around the world flocked to witness his jaw-dropping moment, causing a massive surge in viewership, crashing Crunchyroll and multiple streaming platforms.
As Monkey D. Luffy reached his peak transformation against Kaido, fans knew that an epic power-up was on the horizon and the release of One Piece Episode 1071 featuring Gear 5th created such an overwhelming demand that left Crunchyroll and other popular streaming services struggling to keep up with the massive influx of viewers.
Following the airing of the latest episode of One Piece, several fans logged in to streaming platforms to catch the unveiling of Gear 5 and the surge in traffic quickly overwhelmed the servers, leading to an explosion of reactions on social media platforms.
Despite the technical difficulties faced by the audience, the high-octane battle sequences and sound design of the episode left fans at the edge of their seats. Fans from different corners of the world united in their shared enthusiasm for this significant milestone in Luffy’s journey to become the Pirate King.
The awakened form of Gomu Gomu no Mi is called “Gear 5”, which strengthens the rubbery body of Luffy and enhances his strength to a far greater extent. In his Gear 5 form, Luffy can manipulate and change his surrounding according to his own will.
In this state, Luffy’s heartbeat takes on a musical rhythm that has been described by Zunesha as the “Drums of Liberation”. His hair and clothes turn white, his eyes glow with red ring-like pupils, and white clouds float around his neck giving him a figure like Sun God Nika.
Gear 5 holds remarkable potential, raising questions about the nature of Luffy’s powers and the limits he can push himself to. As the Wano Country arc reaches its climax, the stakes are higher than ever, and Luffy Gear 5 episode serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of One Piece.
