It’s well-known that One Piece and its main character, Luffy, have strong influences from Brazil. However, the revelation that Capoeira played a role in Luffy’s new Gear 5th form surprised many fans.
Animation director Vincent Chansard, who worked on various episodes, openings, and specials of the One Piece franchise, shared that he drew inspiration from Capoeira for Luffy’s Gear 5th transformation, also known as the Fifth Gear.
Chansard took to Twitter to explain his thought process: “Over time, in the manga, Luffy feels like a pretty all-rounded Mma fighter with boxing at his core, using punches, kicks, some grabs, but not many open-hand techniques.” he wrote.

Spoiler Alert !!!Spoilers ahead for Chapter 1146 and 1147 of One Piece's manga!
The Elbaph Arc is answering quite a few mysteries surrounding the World Government, especially now that the elusive God’s Knights are making active moves. The latest chapters of the One Piece manga revealed a fact about them that makes them all the toughest threats the Straw Hats have faced.
While antagonists like Kaido and Big Mom were strong, they at least weren’t immortal and regenerate their limbs. In Chapter 1146, Gunko grew back immediately after Usopp’s attack, and the leaks for Chapter 1147 confirm that all the God’s Knights have it.
Considering the Five Elders share these powers, it’s not far off to assume Imu, the hidden monarch, might have it too. We know they have been around since the Void Century, so in addition to regeneration, their immortality and eternal youth will make them an even bigger nuisance.

There are three known Haki in One Piece: Color of Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror’s Haki. While usage of Haki itself is pretty rare, plenty of main characters in the series are experts at it. The rarest case is housing all three Haki at once.
Some of the characters who are known to use the three Haki are Luffy, Zoro, Ace, and Shanks, among others. But a One Piece theory suggests that a fourth Haki exists, and Eiichiro Oda will be keeping this a secret till the grand finale of One Piece.

Warning: Spoilers For One Piece Anime #1063 and Manga Chapter #1044Luffy's battle with Kaido is approaching its climax in the One Piece anime, and episode #1063 contains a jubilant tease for what viewers can expect when 5th Gear finally arrives. While the Wano arc was the manga's longest arc so far, the anime's been adapting the arc since July 2019. In that time, the anime has destroyed expectations with stellar animation and expanding on One Piece's lore in ways the manga could not. Recently, Sanji and Zoro were in perhaps the best One Piece episodes so far. Still, the Straw Hat's captain is getting ready to top them.
The Gear Five transformation is quickly approaching in the One Piece anime, but episode #1063 has already revealed one of the form's delightful quirks, Luffy's joyous laugh. Luffy is certainly no stranger to laughing in the series. Still, after trading powerful blows with Kaido, audiences...

Exclusive: Discovery’s long-running motoring format Fifth Gear is to relaunch as an Electronic Vehicle (Ev) show and has installed former Top Gear host Rory Reid to present.
Fifth Gear: Recharged will air episodes weekly on streamer Discovery+ in the UK and UKTV network Quest later this year as All3Media-owned producer North One looks to take advantage of colossal growing interest in EVs, which has quickened due to the current UK gas crisis.
The original Fifth Gear ran for 28 seasons, first on Channel 5 and then Discovery channels History and Quest, before ending two years ago.
“Almost every car manufacturer in the world has bet their house on electric so this seemed like a sensible thing to do rather than a massive leap of faith,” said North One founder and Fifth Gear exec Neil Duncanson, who also produces coverage of Ev sporting format Formula-e.
