You can compare things without trying to shit on one or the other. At the end of the day G5 does some new stuff for a transformation and it stands out, but just because Luffy is copying Bugs Bunny don't make it more than what it is. It's not above that level of comparisonThat's really because chronically online shonen fans love dick-measuring their favorite parts of their manga without regard to context.
Yea it really did feel like it ascended into sports level of online discussion. You actually had to be there to feel the excitement for the last few episodes people were obsessed.Me too, Clive especially is one hell of a man
I remember watching ToP weekly as it was airing, the online community around it was like an actual sporting event it was insane. Plus all the videos of people gathering in public for some episodes lol. It's one of my favorite anime memories. DBS did a lot of good.
Took over the dang site at times if it was a good episode. Shout out to reaction threads coming up as soon as episodes were over (defeating the purpose of an OT) that immediately spoiled who got kicked out.
Luffy went from getting bodied by Kaido to his rubbery body being able to take hits from Kaido's kanabo. His durability shot up. Idk how you can say that's not noticeableIt doesn't really make him noticeable physically stronger or faster. That's why there was an emphasis on Ryuo and Advanced Conquers Haki. He's combining all that with the ability to turn organic and non-organic matter into rubber.
I've seen people try to argue that it's not Toon Force.If Gear 5 is suppose to be Looney Tunes inspired Luffy is absolutely getting that Toonforce strength/endurance boost

Lol 😂 100%I've seen people try to argue that it's not Toon Force.
Luffy spawning a pair of goggles out of his hair in his rematch with Lucci says otherwise.

He was already taking hits from Kaido pre-G5. The only difference with G5 is that he took the hits and (literally) bounced back. In fact, most of the hits were treated as comedic because of the cartoon nature of the awakening.Luffy went from getting bodied by Kaido to his rubbery body being able to take hits from Kaido's kanabo.

Sad but true. That's why I like discussing such matters here and not amongst the common riffraffThe comparison by itself isn't the problem. It's usually done with negative, toxic intentions. People end up taking things too seriously.
Yeap mhmm. That's what I want and while I know that what I'll get is probably going to be cool I also know that it's kinda unlikely that that's what I'll get. So I'm just trying to look forward to a well-animated beatdown.Yeah, Gear 5 is gonna be on the level of Ultra Instinct and that's it. The difference though is UI came out of nowhere. Gear 5 not only has been everywhere but if people somehow avoided it they had others hinting that something wild is gonna happen so they're fucked either way.
As dope as it is, I think people are overhyped themselves like they've always overhyped themselves. Like people are expecting Luffy to literally be in some 1920s Steamboat Willie stuff with current animation.
The "party" is just so so good. I know it's not a traditional FF party but I can definitely envision one lolSame. I beat it yesterday and I feel empty, miss all the characters.
Speaking of, never underestimate the power of soundscape...

That shit is half the reason people loved Ultra Instinct tbh. The anime kept tellin y'all that the saiyans were as gods but this track made you feel it
The kamehameha grind was like a 3 at the buzzer for the win, just insane levels of hype online lolYea it really did feel like it ascended into sports level of online discussion. You actually had to be there to feel the excitement for the last few episodes people were obsessed.

Reminds me of how excited I was to see Gear 4 animated for the first time... and it fell short for me, mainly because the soundscape I imagined for it wasn't the soundscape that we got. King Kong Gun? I thought that shit should sound like a balloon rubbing against itself. I was incredibly convinced. Instead, we got ratcheting sounds. Sounds I know I've heard in other anime. And Dragon Ball sounds, too. I'd hoped punches would sound like basketballs (although I was at least pleased that Luffy's bounces kinda did).

btw scan are out in spanish
When everything is done it'll have my childhood sets from late 80s/early 90's. Many bricks from the 60/70s are used in the bases. Ships have been built for about 8 years before I ran out of shelf space, so the last 5 years started getting the diorama started. 12 more ships to add.This was used for Advanced Conquerors. I think it'll be an entire new track.
Damn, that's incredible. How long did this take you?

?I thought we were getting a chapter this week because people were already talking spoilers and now I'm sad.
Wait what, I thought it would have been out by now if it was this week, and thought it was a next week as a result.
Platty, the road to Master ain't no joke
