Bandai’s Tamashii Nations brand revealed a new One Piece Figuarts figure of Monkey D. Luffy in his Gear 5 form will be sold. The Luffy Gear 5 Giant figure will bring the iconic transformation to life for fans willing to spend a premium.
In One Piece Episode 1070, Luffy was seemingly defeated after a hard-fought battle against Kaido. However, he rose back up in the mighty Gear 5 form due to the Hito Hito no Mi: Model Nika fruit in Episode 1071. Kaido is bewildered by the immense power of this transformation as Luffy seemingly bends reality with his joyful power. Soon, One Piece fans will be able to purchase their own Gear 5 figure soon.
