Theres a part during egghead, specifically when luffy grabs Kizaru the first time, and i love the way they animated Luffy's movement.

He moves (and looks) like the Shishimai, those traditional Japanese lion dances I think it's a cool detail that adds to the "deity" and/or "mystical" aspect of his gear 5 form.

Incredible trip to Takamatsu to see the Shishimai Okoku festival! So many groups performed the Shishimai dance and in very different styles.

I had never seen the Rikyuu (Okinawan) style Shishimai before, so I’m not sure if the group I saw at Takamatsu performs in a typical Okinawan or their own unique style, but their performance was fantastic. I loved seeing them walk around and join (invade?) others later on too.
