The intensity and depth of a voice actor during an important role or scene defines their talent in the anime and manga industry. One such talented individual recently became extremely viral when the German dub of the One Piece anime featuring the first moment of Luffy unlocking the Gear 5 was released for German anime fans.
Luffy's Gear 5 mode is quite different to the protagonist's normal behavior in the series, as he becomes more excited and menacing. While the animation worked wonders with Gear 5, everything was left on the shoulders of the voice actors to bring out the best in themselves and Luffy. And Daniel Schlauch did just that.
His performance of Gear 5 Luffy was so insane that even fans from other countries liked it. As the clip went viral, One Piece fans rallied and praised Schlauch for his voice acting, bringing out the perfect portrayal of Luffy in Gear 5 mode.
