One Piece's anime adaptation brought Luffy's Gear 5 form to life but also introduced new attacks not seen in the manga.
The One Piece anime has brought to life Luffy's most powerful transformation, Gear 5, during the battle against Kaido, among much fanfare, but it actually went beyond that, introducing new powerful Gear 5 attacks that were not in the original manga.
Gum-Gum Lightning Bending After Gear 5 Luffy was launched into the skies; he successfully grabbed a lightning bolt and threw it toward Kaido. While that attack appeared in the manga's chapter #1047, the anime took that idea and expanded on it in as flashy of a way as possible. Multiple lightning bolts became rubberized, allowing Luffy to grab and bounce between them to perform a high-speed combo attack against the Beast Pirates' Captain.
Gear 5's Punching Ball Form Kaido's frustration continued to mount as his attacks became more and more ferocious against Gear 5 Luffy. He seemed determined to end the fight when he rushed towards Luffy with his Kundali Dragon Swarm attack that imbued his giant metal club with his bone-breaking Haki. Gear 5 took many blows from the attack but decided to counter it with his own Gatling gun-like onslaught of punches.
Gum-Gum Counterblow Awakened Devil Fruit users have been shown to have the ability to affect the world around them with their special powers. After Luffy awakened his Gum-Gum Fruit, he easily rubberized everything he touched, giving him the option to create what he calls "interesting attacks." While the manga saw Luffy use this ability to bounce around the battlefield, he was shown using it offensively in episode #1072 of the anime.
