Why is One Piece's GEAR 5 so at odds with everyone?

What happens is that many said that because it was a long-awaited and important moment in history, with a large cast of animators behind it, it was concluded that it would break the internet. Without a doubt, the episode had a great influence on viewers, taking down platforms and becoming a worldwide trend.

The problem arises because many who have not seen One Piece They can only see it as something ridiculous and not serious, comparing it to Dragon Ball next to comparison with mode Ultra Instinct or any Pokémon with the farewell of Ash Ketchum to be World Champion. Arguing hundreds of details to discredit the work of Eiichiro Oda or funny mocking memes that circulate around the Internet.

This caused a series of clashes between fans and non-fans over whether they really broke the internet. What is certain is that it provoked an unprecedented movement of hate unexpected, but not at all unusual with an anime that is always criticized for its number of episodes or for its unique animation with extremely bizarre and exaggerated character anatomy.

Another notable problem point is its own fans, who also overinflated the episode and although it could be considered a success if broke the internet or not, it is obvious that it did not have the impact of Dragon Ball. It should be noted that in all this about Gear 5 node episode 1071 it's just the presentation in which we see this intentional caricatured version of Luffy for its awakening of the fruit, where from episode 1072 we will see all its true power.

THE GEAR 5 of Luffy is the awakened form of his devil fruit “Gomu Gomu no Mi” which is actually the “Hito Hito no Mi” model “Nika (Sun God)”, which strengthens the user's rubbery body and allows them to manipulate and transform the environment around them. Giving her a godlike appearance, where her hair and clothes turn white, her eyes glow with red ring-shaped pupils, and white clouds float around her neck.

He in the GEAR 5 was introduced in the original manga by Eiichiro Oda node chapter 1044, defining it as the most ridiculous power in the world of One Piece. Under a power that is comparable to “Toon Force” making references to classic cartoons.
