When people talk about anime or manga in popular culture, the face and the intensity-building scream of Goku, the main protagonist of the insanely popular Dragon Ball series comes to everyone’s mind, and rightfully so.

Luffy can achieve the same level with his highly-anticipated Gear 5.

With so much build-up behind the episode, it was still astonishing to see the amount of craze it generated among the fans.
But the cherry on top was the fact that even with that amount of tremendous power, the Saiyan couldn’t unleash the full potential of his new transformation, which baffled the audience, seeing as Lord Beerus himself said that Goku had surpassed him with his initial change in form. This confirmed that he still has room to grow strong beyond anyone’s wildest comprehensive abilities.
And now, after six long years, the internet might experience a similar event as Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist of Eiichioro Oda‘s legendary manga One Piece is all set to unleash a devastating power in the anime.
