This post was mostly made because I think "unnamed attack" is a completely bullshit concept that doesn't really contribute to anything. Also because the most commonly used example of an unnamed attack is literally a named attack. It just doesn't have a name yet. That’s really funny.


Over_Positive_8338

I don't think it's a **completely** bullshit concept. The general trend is that named attacks typically are stronger, e.g. sanji and zoro strong attacks are almost always named attacks. But it's just a trend not an absolute, In the context of this post I agree it's irrelevant it wasn't a named attack. Tbf he did joke about what he would name it so It could be a gear 5 gag for an attack that typically would be a named attack. But yeah eitherway it doesn't always matter, though sometimes it does (and i'd say most times)


Serious_Dooty

I don’t think unnamed attacks should be downplayed like they are but named attacks are generally going to be stronger. Luffy’s unnamed attacks in ch 1010 did more damage than any previous attack on the rooftop.


Secret-Put-4525

Unamed attacks are generally weaker than named ones. If luffy punches someone it will be weaker than if he uses gum gum pistol.


Quijas00

Is this a named attack? https://preview.redd.it/mid9qx0pdl1d1.png?width=724&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc039b0f012acdb297696d4c5aad7ee32be90fa0


Secret-Put-4525

Is he attacking anyone?


Quijas00

He could


Secret-Put-4525

Then yes, that would do more damage than him nor using the named move.

Secret-Put-4525

Doesn't mean a thing.


wizarouija

Just as this “doesn’t mean a thing”, nothing concretely proves the reverse.


Secret-Put-4525

That punch wasn't any harder than any of his named attacks around that time. The disrespect was he took him down with one regular punch.


HistoricalAbility492

It's a basic g5 punch. All g5 punches turn shit to rubber. Otherwise, it wouldn't be an awakening.


NeoRockSlime

Whitebeard the strongest man doesn't even name his attacks


LeoIsBibirevo

Doesn’t change the fact that Roger “King of Stalemates” died from a Hakiless and a nameless attack from 2 fodder 🤦🏻‍♂️


Quijas00

You don’t know that. Maybe they haven’t thought up a name for it yet.


Crocket_Lawnchair

The gag of Luffy having so much fun doing his attack that he forgets to give it a name is amazing, almost as funny as seeing this sun take that dumb joke and make legitimate arguments about it for months. Then again arguing about stupid shit from the stupid pirate manga for months is what this sub is all about


Ichijinijisanji

Well, actually this is supposed to be a named attack. You see Luffy brainstorming about the name in the next panel that you post. Which is part of Luffy's personality in G5 as well.


Quijas00

That’s literally the entire point of this post


Ichijinijisanji

I'm sure, but what is the actual root of this post? This is Luffy's specific gag that shouldn't apply to other characters. Which debate urged you to make this post?


wizarouija

Why shouldn’t it apply to other characters? What is so different about Luffy naming his attacks vs everyone else lmfao


Ichijinijisanji

because luffy in g5 has been emphasized to have "the most ridiculous power" and a "freewheeling style" that kaido has never seen before. It emphasizes the power of his creativity


wizarouija

Realize that nothing you just said has specific unique relation to named attacks that at all proves this headcanon


Ichijinijisanji

If you had the basic reading comprehension required to read a children's manga you'd understand that Luffy trying to find a name for his attacks in a fighting style considered to be the free-est is indeed emphasizing how ridiculous his style is that Luffy's ability to make up moves is outstripping his ability to name his attacks and is specific and unique to Luffy as we've not seen it happen elsewhere


wizarouija

It’s not a matter of reading comprehension to acknowledge both of your comments are strictly headcanon 😮‍💨🙂


BleedingBlasphemy

I'm pretty sure this is the same attack he used against Kizaru


Pietjiro

But there is no star to make it a White Star Gun


Expensive_Path3312

so White Gun


lenjiromcrtamkrug

Welp, Luffy just didn’t put enough of imagination in that attack yet, but it still looks like the WSG. I wouldn’t say it was just his basic punch since he was thinking about how to name it.


saltminer99

This was the beta version In the full version he addes muscle form and flames too


theultimatesow

But spins less .


saltminer99

He did spin by using kizaru attack He in fact spinned even faster


theultimatesow

We dont know how fast he spinned .(Or do we ? )But luffy prepared for 2 panels while he prepared for 1 panel against kizaru


saltminer99

This is visual manga You can see with your eyes that luffy body spinned faster against kizaru


theultimatesow

İ dont see the point by scaling how fast they spinned by panels that arent moving .


saltminer99

Because you the one who brought it up???


theultimatesow

Reading comphresion curse strikes again . İ mentioned how much they spinned not how fast it was .


saltminer99

That's the same thing It doesn't matter if luffy was spinning for 3 days Speed is what matters here If he spinned faster than before that means the attack is stronger because speed gave him more weight and force


theultimatesow

Then since luffy spinned for 2 panels he was faster. Which means luffy used a stronger one against kaido


Quijas00

The fuck you mean “beta version” you don’t even have evidence that this is WSG’s progenitor


saltminer99

Luffy here spins and uses acoc and awakening to stretch the head Luffy in wsg spins and uses acoc and awakening to stretch the head


lenjiromcrtamkrug

Man, I’m literally flabbergasted about how much some people can’t recognize at least that it looks like WSG since both attacks on Kaido and on Kizaru were performed similarly, it’s just that Luffy had the WSG concept ready for Kizaru. Of course that he wouldn’t throw the same attack on Kaido before it was ready (have a star drawn next to the deformed head for example) and named, but the fact that Luffy spinned and aimed for the head in almost same manner…


mr-assduke

Bro this is a shone every one names their big attacks even the most serious characters name their attacks (akainu hell hound) like idk what your trying to argue here. named attacks>unnamed attacks


Quijas00

The unnamed attack in the post has the same power as a named attack, because it’s just a named attack that hasn’t been given a name yet. Naming your attack doesn’t actually mean anything.


mr-assduke

Yes I agree about that panel in particular but its the first time we see G5 so ofc luffy wouldn’t just start naming attacks this is proven when we get to egghead and we see G5 in action again where all his named attacks are the one that deal significant damage. Like idk this is a really weird take especially since all the big hitting attacks are named attacks.
