One Piece will be bring Gear 5 Luffy to live-action with its special show at Universal Studios Japan later this year, and is hyping up what to expect from the debut with a special new promo! One Piece is now celebrating the 25th anniversary of the anime, and with it has placed Luffy front and center in some major new projects. But it's not really the classic Luffy, but instead is the most popular Luffy form introduced during the Wano Country arc, Gear 5 Luffy. This Luffy form has become a whole new kind of mascot for the anime, and will be making the jump to live-action next! 

Universal Studios Japan has been offering a special One Piece live-action show for guests in attendance, and with their latest promo have announced that Gear 5 Luffy will be making their debut with the show later this year. It's not revealed what kind of story they will have for this newest take on Luffy (and how something like that wild cartoon form will even work in live-action), but you can check out the promo hyping up this debut below to see a bit of live-action Gear 5 Luffy in motion.
