Luffy's Gear 5 has a major weakness.
One Piece has some of the best transformations in anime and Gear 5 is its most iconic. Seemingly unstoppable, this transformation lets Luffy fight with absolute freedom and bend reality to his whims, but the battle with Kaido showed that Gear 5 still has at least one weakness: cutting attacks. Chapter #1093 of One Piece confirmed this, proving that Gear 5 is not actually invincible.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT During Luffy's epic final clash with Kaido on top of Onigashima, almost all of Kaido’s attacks didn’t work against Gear 5's cartoonish abilities. Frustrated, Kaido went into his dragon form and used his powers to shot multiple air slashes at Luffy, saying that no matter what, gum-based powers should still be vulnerable to cutting, and this proved to be the case. Chapter #1093 of One Piece proved that Kaido was indeed right.
Luffy's Gear 5 Isn't As Invincible As It Seems Luffy's Gear 5 took the world by storm. Its debut in the manga was debated for months, and then, when it appeared in the anime too, Gear 5 broke the internet by crashing the servers of the most popular streaming services.
Gear 5 immediately looked overpowered. During the battle against Kaido, even after the former Yonko claimed to have found his weakness, Luffy powered through the flurry of slashes, so that apparent weakness seemed not very relevant. However, seeing it appear again in the story proves that this weakness exists indeed, and it could surely become relevant in the future. It's also interesting that Luffy’s weakness is swordsmen.
One Piece Did The Right Thing In Giving Gear 5 A Weakness Luckily, when Luffy goes into Gear 5, his physical attributes are significantly boosted. He becomes extremely fast, and so he'll be able to dodge sword attacks. In addition to his speed, he also has the Future Sight Haki, which allows him to predict what an opponent's attacks. Still, it's very good to note that Eiichiro Oda has not forgotten to give Gear 5 a weakness.
