One Piece Gear 5 explained by Eiichiro Oda
The Gear 5 is the stronger, and the awakened form of the Gomu Gomu no Mi devil fruit. Not only does the consumption of this fruit cause the user, rubber body to get stronger, but it can also manipulate it into transforming differently. This is the reason why we were able to see Luffy inflating his entire body to grow larger than Kaido.
Change the final battle of the two sides continues in Onigashima, the limits of this power are yet to be seen in the anime version. It is said in the history of One Piece that anyone who devours this fruit shall become the “warrior of liberation.” This means that the warrior would bring joy and freedom to everyone around him. This is the reason why Luffy is laughing hysterically when he transformed. 
Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, had once mentioned in his interview with Gosho Aoyama that he wanted to keep his fighting scenes very playful. Even in this fight of episode 1071, the entire battle was more cartoonish than setting a darker tone.
Eiichiro Oda takes inspiration from Tom and Jerry
In the same interview in the Weekly Shonen Jump 2022 Issue 34, Oda told Gosho that he took inspiration from Tom and Jerry for the direction of his battle sequences. “For the concept, think of it as if I suddenly drew 'Tom and Jerry’” The mangaka mentioned. While this interview is now one year old, the bits from it are resurfacing with the release of the Gear 5 anime version.
Fans were quick to draw comparisons between the two animated series. From the running style to the animation of punches, there is a keen similarity between the two. One Piece will continue with Gear 5 episodes for a couple of weeks. Thus, keep in touch with Pinkvilla for more updates on this.
