Gear 5, the most symbolic animation innovation that debuted 34 years ago, has forgotten.

2023, debut episode one pieceGEAR 5 was aired on Japanese TVs and streaming platforms and quickly became a big event for anime fans. This symbolic conversion/technology is actually simple One Piece Film: RedMost of them are Easter eggs for fans.

However, there is another change, which is called the most symbolic, regardless of how many wonderful Gear 5 is, or how much the hot theme episode 1071 is at that time. This change was first broadcast 30 years ago.

Gear 5 debut episode was one of the most anticipated.

After the introduction of Luffy's gear one pieceFans always wanted to learn the next equipment technology. Gear 4 has already contained large -scale variations in Luffy's body, but nothing matches Gear 5. Gear 5 not only expands his power greatly, but also has a design that is inspired by classical cartoons.

When Gear 5 was first introduced one piece Manga, it became a hot topic among cartoon fans, and animated fans wanted to see these changes on TV. TOEI also started an impressive marketing campaign with Anime in the Anime debut. one piece The audience has soared. Nevertheless, some fans were disappointed because they expected more than they were delivered.

Gear 5 does not switch to Goku and SSJ

It is rare to see such a turmoil in a single animation episode, such as what happened in Gear 5. one piece It took time to see what everyone said. If you were on the animation and the Internet, you knew that Luffy was trying to unlock Gear 5 without seeing you. one piece. It was a global phenomenon as everyone talked about it.

But no matter how big the animation debut in Big Gear 5 was, Goku could never surpass the experience of using Super Saiyan for the first time. At that time, the situation was very different. People around the world have seen a completely different date because there were no broadcasting series at the same time. But still, it was huge and shocked. Super Saiyan was new at that time, so no one expected Goku or Vegeta to unlock the more powerful Super Saiyan form, and Goku accidentally did it by chance. The Super Saiyan transformation set up an animated conversion rod, and TOEI would have tried to imitate the “SSJ feeling” when TOEI decided to market Gear 5 with a big event. one piece.

Super Saiyan 1 is still the best dragon ball conversion.

A new and strong form was introduced, but it did not match the influence of Super Saiyan. Dragon Ball Pan. Due to context and surprise, many fans are still favorite changes for many fans. Even if the SSJ was considered one of the weak forms that Saia could achieve today, it was first described in a legendary form, which could not be liberated by a small number of people. This means that Goku, Vegeta and other Saians, or other Saiayans or Hybrid Saiyans, who joined the Z fighters, are almost exceptional in the history of Saiyans and are more impressive than SSJ.

When we put it in perspective, power scaling logic Dragon Ball It was so broken and meaningless. Therefore, Goku and Vegeta can unlock the stronger than the Super Saiyan Blue, Ultra Instinct or Ultra Ego, but there will be no new change as the Super Saiyan means in Namek/Frieza Saga.

Will another change match Super Saiyan?

Super Saiyan started a new trend Dragon BallIt also inspired the conspiracy pattern and many artists from all over the world. Dragon Ball It was also very important to establish many SHONEN MANGA tropes, and SSJ is part of that. Another animation conversion is not as important as SSJ, but it's basically basically a “start of everything”, so it's hard to match anything else. Other animations eventually Dragon BallIt is difficult to overcome the importance of the animation and cartoon industry.
