Why is Gear second underutilized?

Why is Gear second underutilized?

All we get is Gear Third spam.

example: Elephant Gun/Grizzly Magnum/King Kong Gun as finishers.

not sure. my brain gets smooth during one piece fights. i mostly watch for the wacky stories.

At this point Gear 2nd is base luffy

The idea of Gear 2 is jet propulsion and hyper-blood-circulation, he still uses both. Gear 4 uses the jet propulsion a lot in both Boundman and Snakeman.

Luffy barely uses Gear Second anymore because it's not visually interesting for Oda to draw. Oda chose Luffy's power primarily because of how goofy it looked, and gear third builds on that while gear second just adds steam and highlights. It's the same reason Gear Fourth looked so stupid. That was the fucking point.

Mark my words, when Luffy gets gear fifth, it's going to look at least as stupid as gear fourth

all of the hawk/eagle attacks are gear 2. he uses it on limbs instead of his whole body. the anime fucked up by keeping him going full Oompa Loompa.

He uses gear second the most after time skip. As other anons said, its pretty much base luffy at this point.

It's literally his base power now you dumbass

>2nd gear
>cant even beat a flying 6 member

Because it reduces his lifespan

He was using it quite a bit in the Corrida Colliseum during Dressrosa, since he was trying to not to use his Gum-Gum in ways that would reveal his identity (despite there barely being anybody important that didn't know it was him).

Because Hackda is a hack and thought it was a good idea to make Gear 4 both stronger and faster than Gear 2/3. There's literally no reason for Luffy to use Gear 2/3 anymore. Imagine deciding to powercreep your own MC's abilities. I swear Oda is the shittiest mangaka to ever disgrace shonen jump. Both artistically and storytelling, he is bottom of the barrel filth that got lucky.

Oda will make it cool, not goofy. Mark my words.

Why is he crying eggs?

>There's literally no reason for Luffy to use Gear 2/3 anymore
Are you retarded? Gear four is a massive drain on him physically. It's not something he can now spam endlessly like gear 2/3 is.

Those embers from the Going Merry's burning corpse

Because STR >AGI and DEX.

Gear 4 is just gear 2 and 3 combined

Odas a hack thats why

Because he doesn't need to do the pump up anymore. It's instant on his attacks now.

>forgive me rayleigh-san, i will have to use that
>gear fifth: monkey god awakening

Because after mastering it, Luffy can just use Gear 2nd for all his attacks without making a big deal out of it.

He's hungry.
