redon on Pirate King forums:
the Popeye comparisons is a good one, because one of the things that "awakening" gives Luffy's fruit is "freedom". And that "freedom" allows Luffy to fight as he wants, and in this case (for now) it's to fight as if he were a cartoon, with all sorts of crazy things.
And as you can see, that doesn't only affect him, it also affects the enemy (that's why Kaidou in one image also looks like someone out of Looney Tunes or something).
Part of the text of what says Gorousei in the chapter:
Gorousei: "The awakening of that fruit will give the rubber body even more “strength” and “freedom”.
It is said that, it is the most... ridiculous power in the world!!"

Well shit, that is one way to get Luffy to possibly beat Naruto and Ichigo, I didn't expect Oda to go that route
Didn't know Oda read Fire Force
I told you guys he was inspired by Popeye

I know he calls it "Gear 5"
It's just that I'm not thrilled about Zoro wankers downplaying Luffy because he doesn't need "gears" to fight...
Doesn’t matter what Zoro wankers say
Gears are natural extensions of how he uses his abilities anyhow.
I mean it would explain how the hell Luffy was immune to Eneru's Lightning which shouldn't be possible period considering Lightning still has Heat, which would melt Rubber.
It definitely meant even back then Luffy's DF isn't JUST Rubber.
Now I doubt that this was heavily foreshadowed and it definitely comes off... a bit much?
But it definitely is okay as it doesn't feel like it was completely half-assed but it definitely felt like something he decided to do not that far off ago.

There's also his fight against Don Chinjao
He ended that battle with the Gum Gum Thor Elephant Gun technique:
And when Oda wrote Strong World years before, he had Luffy finish his foe with a similar, and electric, technique...
...rubber shouldn't be able to use or produce lightning/electricity
Even his "Red Hawk" attack makes more sense now thanks to the reveal
nah I gotta avoid this thread this is too hype, yall have fun lmao
