Re: One Piece Manga Chapter 784 Discussion and 785 Predictions
To the people saying it looks dumb, maybe that's just a first impression? I thought it looked really stupid at first because he went super body builder mode and his waist got really buff and bulky instead of thin and lean. But then by page 10 after enough close ups it started growing on me.
G4 really, really reminds me of Super Saiyan 4... And that's a good thing, given that its my favorite form! The marking around his eyes and the way his hair flows up is badass. Whoever the guys were that predicted it would be the return of Nightmare Luffy, tips of the hard to ya.
So from what I can deduct, he has been training to use Geppo, and can now fly. Awesome. Then his striking speed increase 3-4 fold about, not only in his fist but his feet as well. Loved it. And I remember, ages ago making a thread on T-Bones square cutting technique and how Luffy should learn to utilize that technique! Maybe he wasn't the inspiration for that, but nevertheless I was hyped to see my vision actually happen in the manga! The attacks look much awesomer when they cut corners like that.
And lastly, the themes with Gears. G2 is obviously making a sniper out of his body, G3... I would assume is utilizing his body like a cannon, given that he has defined his G3 shapes a lot more since the skip, to where they look like huge orbs, or cannonballs. And now, it seem that he's combined the both of them so now he can fire a cannonball at the speed of a sniper shot!
Gear 4 is 10/10, love it
