What to expect from One Piece Episode 1071

Anime One Piece 1071 will showcase the awe-inspiring battle between Luffy and Kaido as Luffy unleashes his Gear 5 mode. In the previous episode, Kaido delivered a devastating blow to Luffy, leading him to fake his own death and delivering the news to the rebel alliance. Now, the rebels, Law, and Kid are making their last stand while Momonosuke debates whether to run or fight. However, when Zunesha announces the Drums of Liberation, signifying Joy Boy's return, everything changes. The episode ends with Luffy's body emitting smoke, his hair turning white, and his Gear 5 transformation beginning.

What is Luffy’s Gear 5 mode?

Gear 4 was introduced during Luffy's battle against Donquixote Doflamingo in the Dressrosa arc. It brought forth sub-forms like Boundman, Snakeman, and Tankman during the Whole Cake Island arc. Ever since, fans have been eager to witness Luffy's next level of power - Gear 5.

The long-awaited moment finally arrived during Luffy's ultimate showdown with Kaido in the Wano Country Arc. Gear 5, also known as "Gear Fifth," is the awakened form of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which enhances the user's rubbery body. Additionally, it grants the ability to manipulate and transform the surroundings, akin to a Paramecia's awakening. Luffy achieved this remarkable power during his battle with Kaido on Onigashima.
