I had a question, in the movie, why do they say "The Fifth Emperor" to Luffy? There is Buggy, Shanks, Blackbeard and Luffy, who would be the other emperor making it five?

I love long running anime + ecchi manga + potatoes = gimme some

As far as I can tell it’s due to the timing. After cake island but before kaidou. big mom was the start of it by “retiring”leaving behind shanks, Teach, buggy, and kaidou as the emperors and the newspaper called him the 5th emperor after the war time skip(with help from the fanboys(Bartolomeo and Calendish). But then kaidou got destroyed and then there were four emperors again.

iirc luffy was labeled the "fifth emperor" sometime around wholecake and he doesn't become officially recognized as a yonko until he defeats big mom and kaido. even though the events of the movie is not canon, i think considering big mom is well in the movie and hasn't been defeated in the anime yet, the 4 yonkos during the movie are still the previous ones making luffy the 5th.

I completely forgot that the news outlet announces Luffy as the fifth emperor all the way back in episode 878! Now it makes sense, thank you guys!

It’s inconsistent about when it happens, but between Whole Cake and Wano some people called Luffy the 5th emperor. This is before him and Buggy replaced Kaido and Big Mom

This movie takes place after wano, there’s no explanation for why and how inconsistent this movie is, we’re just supposed to roll with it since the only thing canon about this movie is UTA.

Luffy doesn’t get announced as the one of the 4 emperors till the post wano arc btw

Uta/Luffys flashback is also canon and some fighting moves from Shanks.
