User blog comment:Guts!/Anime Depiction of Luffy's Gear Second/@comment-972068-20130528014001/@comment-178.128.173.192-20130528224036

I really think that as the wiki said Luffy can now, after the timeskip to activate gear second in a PARTICULAR part of his body without having the whole body in gear second. I haven't seen in the whole manga after the timeskip that Luffy has to pump up VISUALLY to activate it. If Luffy can't pump up blood in a particular part of his body i find that the preparation and the exersice he took for the past 2 years where pretty meaningless, if he couldn't improve his gear 2nd. So i can only assume with the information from the manga and the wiki that the anime really fucked up at this. It isn't the first thing that anime fucked up. Another very big mistake is that Hody had to take 2 red hawks and an elephant catling to pass out in the anime, while in the manga had to take only one red hawk and the elephant catling. While in the manga we saw the badassness of Luffy, the anime depicted the scene like Luffy struggled more to win Hody.
