One Piece Episode 1071 received a lot of criticisms, both good and bad. After the glimpse of Luffy’s Gear 5 in One Piece Episode 1071, fans are eagerly waiting for One Piece Episode 1072.
One Piece Episode 1071: A Quick Recap (Spoiler Alert!!!)
One Piece Episode 1071, titled “Luffy’s Peak – Attained! Gear 5,” featured Luffy’s ultimate transformation, Gear 5, for the first time, for which the fans have been waiting for this particular scene to be on their screens for a year. One Piece Episode 1071 crashed the servers of Crunchyroll once it was released. Despite this, Episode 1071 received mixed reviews from the fans.
Luffy came back to life, after his Devil Fruit Awakening, after a fierce fight with Kaido. As Luffy learns about his abilities with Gear 5, we observe how he briefly appreciates his powers, emitting the Haoshoku Haki. Despite the somewhat clumsy animation of the Gear 5 transition, as a whole, we see what Luffy is capable of with his newly discovered ability.

In other scenes, the Five Elders, at Mary Geoise, decide to sacrifice Guernica to stop Luffy. It is known from Episode 1071 the Devil Fruit was Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, a Mythical Zoan. It has limitless potential and is only restricted by the imagination of its user.
Meanwhile, Hiyori watched as Orochi burned to death, having betrayed her father and the people of Wano by failing to carry out his obligations as their shogun.
In the final scenes, Kaido is happy that Luffy is alive. Their previous battle was interrupted by Cp0, who knocked out Luffy.
One Piece Episode 1072: What To Expect?
One Piece Episode 1072, titled “The Ridiculous Power! Gear Five in Full Play,” will adapt Chapter 1045 from the manga. One Piece Episode 1072 will showcase the stretch of Luffy’s Gear 5 and the ultimate showdown of the Luffy vs Kaido battle.
With Gear 5, Luffy can grow his body to any size or shape, carry gigantic dragons, and inflict more damage on his opponents. The manga readers might know that the fight would be cartoonish and silly.
We can see a little bit of the next scenes in the preview of episode 1072.
