Episode 1100: Even More Gear 5 Analysis

Oh my god i loved this episode. The Egghead animation style just lends itself so well to the Gomu Gomu no Mi and Gear 5 specifically. Look at him he's so silly :)

These two moments from previous episodes show how gear 5 has influenced Luffy's mastery over his fruit (using gear 3 w/o Haki or going gear 2nd first) and consequently, how Gear 5 has affected luffy as well (luffy getting fired up over the holo-sweets)

Most of my favorite g5 moments are of luffy using Gomu Gomu no Rocket - like his big lightning-bolt playground moment in the Kaido fight :) Some people say Gatling is his signature move, but Rocket is the first one we ever see him use, and I think given how often he uses it day-to-day, Rocket is the move he's really perfected.

Using the fluidity and silliness of G5 to his advantage, you can see Luffy pulling out of the way of Lucci fast by coiling his arm up like a grapevine.

This moment shows Luffy's mastery of Gomu Gomu no Rocket, because of how Luffy is able to let go of the antenna and absorb the recoil in a way that doesn't launch him into the sun. Recoil is one of Luffy's biggest advantages/disadvantages of rubber and i'm so excited that he really has a full handle on it now. Devil Fruits definitely aren't perfect, but it's the years of experience Luffy has that makes him feared as an Awakened Fruit user.

I also loved Luffy's new whack-a-mole move - battle instinct is one of Luffy's strong suits, and I love how Awakening opens up luffy to a whole new variety of improvisation techniques! He's in a silly cartoon, and he loves it, but more importantly he understands it.

This! This right here is what I was eagerly watching the whole episode in 0.5 speed for. Luffy uses the blur in his arm to speed it up impossibly fast, spinning the multiple points of animation so he can throw his entire body into that punch. Luffy is actively using the medium itself to his advantage - because the plasticity isn't an animation technique to him, it's all real.

This is just an adorable Luffy moment, and we can see the confusion of trying to track a speeding Lucci physically manifest in his head-shake. Not like, a powers-relevant gear 5 moment, but i really loved it he's sooo silly! He's so powerful, but he's also still our Luffy :)

I think the hardest loss we took when fan subs died was the loss of every attack being subbed with a fun, animated font

Nothing beats having "GOMU GOMU NO GATLING!" highlighted in vibrant, rainbow "jokerman" font.

[cuchufletapl]

Evidentemente no iban a usar las traducciones originales de las técnicas de Luffy para el doblaje del live-action, y, vamos, que se vio desde el primer episodio, pero aun así una parte de mí tenía esperanzas por Gomu Gomu no Gatling.

Galleta galleta metralleta, siempre vivirás en mi corazón.

[rainbowgod666]

Pfft yeah, my self-insert OC has "seppuku-induced Gear 5 with clear TOH Collector motifs" as an ability, one "fisting session" and those suits are GONE.

True to her technophobic nature, Coggins ate the TV for dinner.

[labrador-beefcake]

I have THOUGHTS. And OPINIONS. About one piece.

Y'all are here on this part, so you're going to hear about them.

First off, when was the first time we see Gear Second? In the fight against Blueno, right?

WRONG.

It was in Water 7 against the Franky Family. I forget his name, but the dude in the battleship armor gets the first Gear 2nd punch from Luffy. He starts to throw a gum gum gatling, but his fists stop short. Then his arms start to turn pink before he unleashes his gum gum cannon. He wasn't attacking before he was pumping his arms, just like he does with his legs later on.

Next thing is that I don't like the idea of Zoro facing off against Shiryu when the Straw Hats and Blackbeard pirates finally clash. Putting those two against each other just because "sword man fight sword man" strikes me as simplistic in a way I just don't enjoy. So who do I think Zoro should fight?

Jesus Burgess. We know he wants a strong devil fruit, having gone after the Mera Mera no mi, and we know he didn't get it. We know they have clashed with the remnants of Whitebeard's crew. I feel like Burgess is going to kill and take the fruit of Diamond Jozu (which would compliment his fighting style PERFECTLY) and is that in his battle against Zoro. Daz Bones even asks Zoro waaaaaaaaaaay back in Alabasta, "what's next? Learning to cut diamond?" Burgess and Zoro are both the vice captain of their crews, been with their captain for the longest, and are arguably the strongest fighters outside of the captains on their respective crews. Besides, I don't think Shiryu is a good enough swordsman to really push Zoro further in his goal. Not like Burgess with a diamond form could.

"But labrador, who would Shiryu fight then?"

Sanji. It would basically be his fight against Absalom all over again, but with much higher stakes. Sanji wants the Clear Clear fruit for his own pervy reasons. Always has. That's half the reason he fought Absalom. The other half was to save Nami. Shiryu is a dishonorable man, and would have no qualms about using Sanji's morals against him. Sanji has fought swordsmen before, and I think it would be wonderful to see him branch out from brawlers and martial artists like himself. Maybe have the end of the fight culminate between Sanji having to either save Nami or grab the fruit before they fall into the sea, and ultimately choosing Nami because he's not completely worthless.

Okay, last but not least, the whole reveal of the Gomu Gomu no mi actually being a mythic zoan fruit, to me, cheapens the entire character. Luffy was always someone who thought outside the box and used his creativity and and determination to push the limits of such a relatively weak fruit. Give him the Gear 5 power up, that's fine. Have him take on the role of Nika. But for all our sakes, just have it be the awakening. Rather than just modifying his body with the fruit, he could affect his surroundings as well, just like the other awakenings we've seen. In that, add in his ability to bend and stretch the laws of physics, the fabric of reality itself. That way, it's a story of overcoming adversity, rather than making him a secret chosen one.

One Piece Animation Thesis: Water Seven

Hello and welcome back for part 4 of the thesis! This week, we will be covering a bit of content, containing not only animators but important changes found within the anime!

The master doc and the previous posts will be found in the reblog!

Water Seven marks an important change anime wise, ranging from episodes 207-263. This could also be argued in regards to story wise as well, but that’s a conversation for another day, and certainly not here. But yeah Water Seven is hella good. Upon episode 207, the anime ditches the old 4:3 episode format and changes to a new format, using the aspect ratio of 16:9. 

Because of this new format for the anime, older episodes were later ‘remastered’ to fit this format, with the frame resized and cropped to fit the appropriate ratio. Colours were slightly fixed so they appeared less faded and lines were slightly darkened so they weren’t lost within the drawing. However doing this results in aspects of the drawing being lost which can result in some awkward framing and strange close ups, especially on already close up frames of characters.

Due to the new ratio, I believe this is where the anime switches to digital and no longer uses cels. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any concrete evidence however due to the ratio change, as well as colours being altered slightly and lines appearing more clear on the screen prior to the remaster, this leads me to believe that that is the case. If found otherwise, I’ll update here!

Once again, Noboru Kizumi continues to work on the character designs. At this point in the series, he really showcases more of Oda’s traits, focusing more on the lankiness and slim designs Oda has created. Sleek is definitely how I would describe these current designs. Everyone feels quite tall. Oda’s style has also change and evolved over the years, especially in the face where it feels more defined in this period, with sharper features. 

Here is a showcase of Robin’s design in this arc. Unlike her first appearance during Alabasta, her legs are much longer, and again, very sleek in the features. This is also the arc where I feel it is becoming more apparent that the breast size of the female presenting characters appear larger, and this is something that is continued in both anime and manga. However, note that regardless of your opinions on how this is portrayed in the manga, it is exaggerated more in the anime. And boy, does it get worse as time goes on.

Due to these sleeker designs, it allowed more freedom for the animators to exaggerate and create dynamic poses and movement. A key player in this department is none other than Naoki Tate. Tate is someone who had worked throughout early One Piece as mentioned before. During this era, he also had worked on One Piece Movie 6: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island, a movie in which we had never seen a style like for the anime at the time.

It’s a killer movie please go watch it if you haven’t seen it! And if you have seen it go watch it again. 

Why are you still here? Go watch it and come back to this. Don’t worry I can wait. Naoki Tate had worked on this movie and was greatly inspired by the designs and has stuck to a similar style to this day. These are the early days of him experimenting with this loose, minimalistic style but you can definitely see his influence already. It is still quite rough, but after this arc, he seemed to grasp the style and make it his own.

Masahiro Shimanuki pops up again, with his gatling reminiscent of his Gomu Gomu no Octopus Fireworks cut. His timing is somewhat slow, continuing his use of speedlines to convey motion. His poses are dynamic, making the characters move in a way where it’s seen as interesting rather than just static running.

Katsumi Ishizuka is back at it again, using his strong use of line work to really make that Gomu Gomu no Bullet against Usopp hit hard, figuratively and emotionally. 

I hope this week was worth the wait and made up for the lack of content last week with SkyPiea! Next we’ll tackle Enies Lobby, and find out some interesting realities of the anime that you may not have known...

——————-——————-——————-——————-–

A massive thank you to everyone who has participated and uploaded at Sakugabooru! Without it, I would not have been able to make nearly as much as I have without all the hard work in identifying and tagging animators’ work! Most of the footage used to showcase these animators has come from there! I simply just turned the videos into gifs for an easier showcase.

I would also like to issue a big thank you to Animators Corner! The staff listing really helped me in determining who worked on what episode to identify animators and their works!

Day Ten: Deprived

It's been too long since Law and Luffy had been together, luckily for them, Law had impeccable timing.

Word Count: 1.1k

"Captian!" The shouting echoed through the hall of the Polar Tang and Law was already on his feet. He could feel the waves rocking the submarine. It was so out of the blue that Law knew they were being attacked as soon and the first wave hit them.

Law had picked a bad time to resurface.

"What's going on!?" Law demanded, he was already making his way up to the deck with Ikakku by his side.

"There's a pirate ship and a marine ship going at it at 3 o'clock," Ikakku reported.

"Have the marines noticed us?" Law asked.

"Not yet I don't think," Ikakku said.

"Good, we'll get everyone inside and go back under, I'm not in the mood to fight marines today," Law muttered. Mostly he didn't want to have to stop to recover from any kind of battle. That would make him late to meet up with Luffy and Law certainly was not eager for that.

It was bad enough he missed Luffy the last time they were on the same sea. It had been almost six months since the last time he'd been with Luffy and it was driving him up the wall.

"Get the canon's ready!" Shachi ordered as Law stepped out onto the deck.

"No," Law corrected. "Get ready to go back under, I'd rather avoid a pointless battle!"

"Aye, capt'n!" Shachi echoed without hesitation.

"It's a little late for that!" Penguin called. A loose cannonball was hurling its way towards them. Danmed it all!"

"Besides, I don't think you'll want to miss this anyway," Penguin was beside Law with a smug grin. "Check out the jolly roger on that ship!" Penguin passed Law a telescope. Law gave him a questioning glance but took the telescope anyway.

He held it to his eye and found the pirate ship in question. A smiling lion figurehead was the first sign. And really the only one he needed. He knew the  Thousand Sunny almost as well as he knew his own vessel. Still, Law followed the length of the ship until he found the mainmast, and followed that up all the way to the black flag at the top. The skull wearing a strawhat was flapping proudly with the sea's wind.

"Change of plans! Bepo-ya, get us over to the battle!" Law ordered.

Penguin started laughing.

"Ready the cannons!" Penguin called.

"We just put them away!?" Leon complained.

"Sorry, Leon," Shachi slung his arm over the masked pirate's shoulder. "Our captain can't help but rush to his boyfriend's rescue."

"Oh, C'mon Shachi, they're 'just allies," Ikakku cut in with a small smile.

Law rolled his eyes. "Don't you all have something to do?"

"Oh, no we made dad mad," Penguin snickered.

"Go man a canon or something!" Law snapped.

"Aye," Penguin replied with a snicker. The three of them left Law and the ship started turning toward the fight. In no time Law's ship was just several yards away from the Thousand Sunny. Law could see the strawhats running back and forth across this ship. Law caught sight of a loose strawhat falling towards the sea. He still couldn't see Luffy. He must be on the Navy ship. Law rushed to the railing of the Polar Tang.

"Clione, do you have a shot ready?" Law asked.

"Yeah."

"Aim straight up," Law told Clione. Clione pulled the cannon back and aimed towards the sky.

"Fire," Law said calmly, his eyes on the hat that was still falling to the water.

The cannon fired, kicking back into the deck and leaving scorch marks. Law would have to have that buffed out later.

"Room!" Law's room opened and engulfed the Polar Tang and the Thousand Sunny Law switched the ball for Luffy's hat and the cannonball kept going up over the Marine ship. Perfect.

Luffy's hat fell onto the deck and Law picked it up, He pulled the string over his head and leat the strawhat hang on his back.

"Shachi-ya, take charge!" Law called before placing himself on the deck of the Thousand Sunny.

Usopp was on the deck with his slingshot readied and aiming for the ship in front of them.

"Mugiwara on the Navy ship?" Law asked.

"AH!" Usopp jumped at the sound of Law's voice, looking over his shoulder.

"Oh, it's you!" Usopp sighed and pulled back on the slingshot again.

"Where's Mugiwara-ya?"

"He's with Robin, Zoro, Sanji, and Franky on the Navy ship," Usopp said.

"Room." Law was on the Navy ship now, he had swapped places with one of the marines. Hopefully, Usopp enjoyed the surprise.

Law left the room open and drew his sword. Zoro came running past him, not even glancing at Law.

"GOMU GOMU!" Luffy's voice echoed across the open water like thunder. "GATLING!"

It rained fists and Law moved back to avoid Luffy's attack.  

He still hadn't caught sight of Luffy at all.

The ship was getting broken into pieces that Law used his room to manipulate.

Soon enough, ship parts were swirling through the air and Law was cutting up the ship to Luffy's aid. There wasn't much left of it when they were done.

In the rubble, Law found Luffy on a piece of the Navy ship's hull. Law used his room to take him and Luffy to Sunny's deck.

"What!?" Luffy shouted he spun around only to nose to nose with Law.

"Been a while, huh, Love?" Law said with a small smirk.

"TORAO!?!" Luffy's smile grew and the next thing he knew Luffy's legs were wrapped around Law's waist and Law was holding Luffy up. Luffy didn't give Law much of a choice in that though.

Law was being attacked with kisses, on his cheeks, his forehead, his nose even. Law took a few short steps forward, where he could set Luffy onto the railing of the ship. Law cupped Luffy's face in his hands and kissed his lips.

God he had missed Luffy so much. Whatever divine force that saw it fit to deprive Law of Luffy for so long had better be ready to feel Law's wrath, that's for damned sure.

Luffy pulled away and smiled at Law. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I was on my way to the Island you said you'd be at when I noticed this defenseless ship needed my help," Law joked.

"We weren't defenseless!" Luffy insisted. "I was kicking ass! I tore the whole ship apart!"

"With my help," Law added."

"I could have done it without you!"

"Oh, I'm sure you could have," Law relented and wrapped his arms around Luffy. "Though you did get pretty close to losing this."

Law pulled the strawhat off and held on to the brim between his fingers.

"Oh!" Luffy sat up a little straighter. "You saved it! You're the best!"

Luffy thanked Law with another kiss. Law could hear the whistling coming from his crew and used Luffy's hat to block their kiss from his crew's sight.
