Bandai Namco shared a new gameplay clip for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 featuring the popular Gear 5 form for Monkey D. Luffy. This fall, players will be able to experience Luffy’s peak in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4.
During One Piece Day ’23, Bandai Namco and developers Koei Tecmo and Omega Force revealed One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 would receive new DLC. One of the new DLC characters is Onigashima Luffy, which is the Wanokuni version of the protagonist. Onigashima Luffy may activate his most powerful form, Gear 5.

The official One Piece Video Games Twitter account shared a new gameplay clip of Onigashima Luffy and the Gear 5 transformation. The in-game transformation is very faithful to scenes from One Piece Episode 1071, where Luffy entered Gear 5 to battle Kaido. Luffy’s Gear 5 form will not be a separate playable character, so players must use Onigashima Luffy to activate the form.
Watch the new gameplay clip below.

Roger is joined by as well as two more characters for a grand total of nine playable DLC characters.
One Piece Episode 1072, the latest episode in the long-running anime series, is now available to stream on Crunchyroll. Luffy is so powerful that Kaido seemingly becomes a joke, but Kaido manages to fight back with respectable tenacity. Luffy’s Gear 5 Giant state is also shown throughout various scenes of the episode.
Lastly, the One Piece anime series is available to stream now on Crunchyroll.
