what epsidoes does luffy achieve new gears

Luffy first unlocks the major Gear forms in Episode 272 (Gear 2), Episode 288 (Gear 3), Episode 726 (Gear 4), and Episode 1071 (Gear 5) of One Piece.

Episode list

• Gear 2: Episode 272, “Luffy is in Sight! Gather at the Courthouse Plaza.”

• Gear 3: Episode 288, “Fukurou’s Miscalculation! My Cola is the Water of Life!”

• Gear 4: Episode 726, “Gear 4! The Phenomenal Boundman!”

• Gear 5: Episode 1071, “Luffy’s Peak – Attained! Gear 5.”

Quick note

Luffy does not have a “Gear 1” transformation in the usual sense; his base form is just his normal body with the rubber ability from the Devil Fruit.
