Talk:Gomu Gomu no Mi/Gear 5 Techniques

Gomu Gomu no Mi or Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika
I know that there may be plans to change all the Gomu Gomu pages to Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika pages, but before you do, can I make a suggestion? As Nika is basically only the awakened form of Gomu Gomu no Mi, can we just change the Gear Fifth page to the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika page? This way, hundreds of pages won't have to have their links altered from Gomu Gomu no Mi to Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. Please consider. (Shadoguardian (talk) 15:55, 27 March 2022 (UTC))

There are no plans to rename the pages as of now. 15:58, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Rubber Hose Animation and Tom and Jerry?
Based on what has been shown so far, is it possible that Gear 5th takes inspiration from the Rubber House Animation and the style of Tom and Jerry?4th Six Paths (talk) 17:26, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Chapter 1028 Cover?
Should Luffy's design on the cover of chapter 1028 be credited as being the design or foreshadow to Gear 5th?4th Six Paths (talk) 18:52, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

No, Gear 5 isn't on fire. And the Nika design appeared before then. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 18:47, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Given Gear 5's overall effects, it's less of "Super Saiyan" and more of "Sun Wukong attaining Buddhahood"
After all, Dragon Ball took inspiration from Journey to the West. Tsukiyomaru0 (talk) 14:15, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Powers: Reality bending + Immortality?
Now, I might be getting a little ahead of myself, but aside from what is already written I think Luffy has access to two certain powers: Reality bending and immortality.

It's a bit of a stretch, however, claiming that he's "stretching through people" might not be a wholly accurate description. Rather, through the power of his imagination, Luffy seems to bend reality so he can achieve such feats.

Furthermore, his seemingly immortal physique might be an extension of the aforementioned reality bending, or due to being an awakened zoan, or due to being a deity, but Luffy's current ability to sponge up attacks and shake them off is basically invincible. Even advanced Haoshoku + advanced Busoshoku infused attacks, that Kaidou threw at him, which should bypass the Devil Fruit's defenses, were wholly ineffective. Aside from getting burnt and a bump on his head, both lasting less than a page, Luffy hasn't spilled a drop of blood since awakening.

What does everyone else think? (Shadoguardian (talk) 16:57, 4 April 2022 (UTC))
