In the 1000+ episodes that One Piece has been airing, there has never been a villain quite like Kaido. No matter what Luffy does or whoever he fights Kaido with, it’s never enough. He has now lost to Kaido three times. It’s apparent that Luffy needs more than just Gear 4 to beat him.
When it comes to impossible fights, Luffy always manages to surpass his current self. He did this with Doflamingo when he acquired Gear 4: Bounce Man, and again in his battle with Katakuri when he used Gear 4: Snake Man. So it should come as no surprise that Luffy reaches a new height of power to defeat Kaido.
Ever since Eichiro Oda debuted Gear 5, fans have been very excited to see the new awakened power animated. It has been more than a year, and we are almost there. Toei Animation has announced that the long-awaited One Piece Luffy Gear 5 episode is coming on August 6.
There is an exhibition dedicated solely to the new transformation of Luffy Gear 5.
