One Piece features one of the most inventive transformations in anime history with Luffy’s Gear 5. It perfectly embodies his character, enriches the series’ deep lore, and subverts the typical Shonen trope of rage-fueled power-ups. However, it isn’t the series’ most impactful power-up debut—that honor belongs to Luffy’s original Gear 2. Unlike his awakening, Gear 2 arrived without major fanfare, spoilers, or an extensive promotional rollout. He looks more inconspicuous in that form than in his Awakening, making it easier to hide from newcomers to the series.
