Were people really too retarded to understand why Oda did this?
Yes, it looks stupid, that's the fucking point. Oda outright said that he made Luffy a rubber man because he thought it looked ridiculous.
How could anyone spend years reading a manga whose cast includes a were-giraffe, a muscular robot with nipple lasers, and a version of eminem who controls electricity, and convince themselves it was serious business
Carson Martinez
>it looks stupid, therefore, its not actually stupid I don't get your point
Jaxson Morris
no, it looks stupid, but that doesn't fucking matter.
Brayden Cruz
Were there really a lot of people complaining?
It's just Water Luffy 2.0 (As if Dressrosa doesn't have enough parallels to Alabasta already), I don't see how long time One Piece readers would feel negatively over Gear 4th.
Luis James
Fuck off One Pisstards
Jaxon Butler
At least this is original. I dare any of you fuckers come up with a better concept than this.
Benjamin King
Not retarded, but I dropped One Piece the moment I saw this shit.
Brayden Clark
> you just don't get it! It's SUPPOSED to look like shit!
Chase Cruz
It looks like a really buff monkey and his name is Monkey. I don't see the problem here.
Landon Morgan
That's not the main point of discussion, the actual point here is, if it looks like shit, just what the hell were you expecting? One Piece has always had goofy dumb shit, thinking that Gear 4 is any worse than a lot of the stuff that came before in the manga is just retarded.
Oliver Foster
I mean the first time I saw Luffy throwing extendable punches I thought he looked dumb as fuck, that's popeye cartoon shit, the thing is that OP has both, there is serious stuff with Zoro and Sanji and people just using weapons normally so it's half and half, so you can't really blame people to expect some seriousness
Michael Cooper
it didn't need to look like shit, Gear 2 and 3 look fine, even the busoshoku haki looks great.
Aaron Sanders
here's a crazy theory: it's all a bunch of stupid cartoons we read for entertainment
Dylan King
>Yes, it looks stupid No, you just have bad taste.
Nathaniel Gray
>stupid shit >entertaining Pick one and only one.
Jack Ramirez
alright, opinionated stranger on the internet. i will agree to your far fetched dichotomy, and never have fun while reading one piece again
Alexander Perez
it doesn't look stupid enough
I think oda actually thinks this looks cool
Matthew Williams
>having fun reading One Piece of Shit >ever
Nicholas Carter
This doesn't look bad. Yall are forcing your reactions. This fits right in on how crazy the anime gets sometimes, how is this an outlier?
Ryan King
i know right? it's just a bunch of stupid shit.
Hudson Murphy
millions of people have fun reading one piece
that's a FACT
Daniel Martinez
same for SAO you*re point?
Zachary Campbell
nah it's looks great in movement
Owen White
>How could anyone spend years reading a manga whose cast includes a were-giraffe, a muscular robot with nipple lasers, and a version of eminem who controls electricity, and convince themselves it was serious business >hating fun things
Josiah Rodriguez
that's a fact, i don't need to prove anything
kek
John Ross
armament haki being visible is what ruined one piece's aesthetic
Luis Watson
It's an over-inflated truck tire flying at you at mach speed it's great
Grayson Brown
That face when I liked Luffy's gear 4.
Aaron Sanchez
You liked it? ... I LOVED it.
Ryder Rodriguez
It had to be visible because you'd never know when someone was using it otherwise unless they straight up pointed it out every single time
Grayson Bennett
and I LOVE you!
Benjamin Thomas
Unironically liking One Piss
Nicholas Cox
user, the fact that your argument is to concede the point that it looks stupid to the people who hate it because it looks stupid is, in the first place, stupid. It looks fine. It may seem ungainly, but it's got style to it. And style is the important thing. It's within the same line of thought as Luffy inflating himself for a number of his attacks. When Doflamingo insulted it, it was because Luffy was constantly bouncing without being able to stop himself.
Anthony Richardson
Let's face the reality that One Piece has turned into shit for quite long time. No one likes it anymore.
Jacob Phillips
The thing is, the people who thought it's stupid or ridiculous, is people that had to be reading the manga for years. How did they got through stuff like Kaku and his giraffe based attacks, or the birds that can only look South, or the Revolution's Number 2 being the king of trannies, if something like Gear 4 can rustle their jimmies so badly? Gear 4 isn't even the silliest thing in One Piece
Tyler Ramirez
It looks stupid but that doesn't matter in regards to what? Whether or not it looks stupid?
Leo Davis
I think Gear 4 balances goofyness and coolness pretty well. The Kabuki-like design of the face and the black, giant arms give it a cool vibe, while everything else makes it kinda silly.
Eli Rodriguez
>OF COURSE wan piss is stupid and bad! That's the charm!
Why are OPtards this pathetic
Nolan Sanchez
I don't know anything about one piece but I kind of like the design. What's wrong with subverting your MC a bit?
Leo Baker
Those things are silly, but this is ugly, I don't like looking at it and it's also on the main character so it's going to be around for a while, that's why this is the worst silly thing in One Piece.
Asher Rivera
>D-D-D-D-DO I FIT IN YET, F-FELLOW Sup ForumsUTISTS?!
Nathaniel Martin
If it looks stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid. Ever heard this saying?
Kevin Parker
what's your favorite manga user?
Robert Hughes
I don't think that applies to manga character design. Anything Oda could have drawn would have "worked"
Brayden Davis
It's basically Luffy gaining a fully matured Monkey D. body, like Garp's, without needing another fucking timeskip.
Josiah Gonzalez
This
the war was such a clusterfuck because people kept bringing up when whitebeard and the other strong guys were using haki or failing to do so
Nathaniel Garcia
G3 also looked ridiculous as fuck. The ones who hated G4 simply don't understand One Piece. This series has always been about weird and comical designs. Serious cool edgy stuff is in fact a minority.
But the awakening fruit bankai and Bird cage were fucking shit.
Adam James
Just don't question and watch
Easton Jones
But that's not fun.
Adam Diaz
But I thought that was cool
Gabriel Adams
I don't get how people who read OP can dislike this design. It looks serious and threatening like Luffy's about push your shit in, and at the same time looks ridiculous and silly.
What makes me laugh is when people thought G4 was gunna be some edgy cool Bleach shit like pic related,
Jonathan Murphy
Nah it looks dope as shit OP
Josiah Rogers
thank god i dropped one piece before thatshit happens
