Warning! Contains spoilers for One Piece Episode 1070!Luffy from A piece He’s one of the dumbest heroes in the Shonen manga, but he’s managed to turn one of his dumbest traits into a dangerous weapon. This should perhaps come as no surprise, as series writer Eiichiro Oda is constantly finding new and innovative ways for Luffy to use his powers in battle. But it’s always a pleasure to see Luffy continue to push the limits of his abilities in a fresh and exciting way.
In episode 1070, Luffy uses his awakened Devil Fruit powers in Gear Fifth to battle his old nemesis, Rob Lucci. He does various fun new attacks on Lucci, but one of the dumbest is when he opens his mouth wide to try to eat his enemy. Lucci manages to get out of the way, but Luffy then slams his cheeks together, repelling the ground shards he bit into his foe when he misses. While this attack wasn’t very effective after all, it’s still a neat nod to one of Luffy’s funnier character traits.
Luffy’s stupidity is a big part of what makes his character so popular. They have very simple needs, including a predatory appetite that often causes them to get into various funny situations. While his hunger is primarily used for comedic effect, it can make some dramatic moments even more intense, like Sanji’s death on Whole Cake Island until he feeds her, and learning of starving villagers in Wano. Comedy features also improve his fighting style, especially after Luffy discovers Gear Fifth in Wano. This technique allows him to have the freedom to fight however he chooses, manifested in ridiculous attacks like something out of a cartoon. These two comedic traits came together in a biting attack in this episode, and it’s great to see that.
