One Piece’s German Luffy Goes Viral For Unbelievable Gear Fifth Performance

by

Despite Gear Fifth‘s initial appearance in One Piece having passed, fans continue to revel in the brilliance of Monkey D. Luffy’s supreme transformation. After exhibiting this form during his battle against Kaido in the Wano Arc, Captain Luffy has been eager to employ his most potent technique on Future Island. The popularity of Luffy and his crew in the Grand Line isn’t confined to North America and Japan; a recent viral video attests to this. The German voice actor for Monkey has gone viral due to his portrayal of Gear Fifth’s debut, and if you’re a One Piece fan, experiencing it is undoubtedly worth your time.

For several decades, Monkey D. Luffy has been famously portrayed by Mayumi Tanaka in Japan and Colleen Clinkenbeard in North America. In contrast, actor Daniel Schlauch took up the role of the Straw Hat Pirate in Germany since he joined the crew on Going Merry in 2004. Apart from giving voice to Luffy, Schlauch has also played significant characters in various anime series like Pokemon, Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha, Gantz, and others. Although it’s challenging for anyone to match Tanaka and Clinkenbeard as Luffy, Schlauch has managed to impress with his remarkable performance that went viral.

Due to the recent depiction of Luffy’s Gear Fifth in the German anime, viewers globally are appreciating Schlauch’s portrayal. Given that Luffy’s ultimate move is reminiscent of cartoons such as Looney Tunes, the German voice actor added a touch of “Woody Woodpecker” to emphasize this similarity. It seems that in introducing Gear Fifth, Oda was thoroughly enjoying himself, and it appears the same enthusiasm can be seen in the German voice actor’s performance.

When’s Gear Fifth Coming Back?

For enthusiasts of anime, it’s worth noting that the TV series adaptation of “One Piece” is temporarily suspending its Egghead Arc to delve into a remastered version of the Fishman Island Arc instead. The Future Island Arc is set to resume this spring with fresh episodes centering around Dr. Vegapunk and the World Government, starting from April. This pause in the anime coincides perfectly with the manga’s ongoing release of new chapters, allowing for an accumulation of additional content for the anime’s portrayal of the final storyline.

For One Piece enthusiasts yet to delve into the manga’s latest developments, Luffy’s Gear Fifth form will likely see significant action ahead. However, it seems that each time Luffy employs his ultimate transformation, trouble for the Straw Hat crew aboard the Thousand Sunny is imminent.
