Just to extend that. The `tankuman` form is also pronounced `tankman` in case anyone was curious

<p>Luffy displayed Gear Four for the first time against Doflamingo and called it a specific form.  Via Funimation subs I thought this form was called Bounce Man.  The wiki calls it Boundman.</p>

<p>Is one of these two names offically correct? If Boundman is correct, what is this referring to?</p>

Is it Boundman or Bounceman?
