Hiyori said she wanted to get revenge on Orochi in the same scene as Zoro, and the Ame no Habakiri still hasn't been claimed by Momo...and we saw Toki with a sword last chapter. Maybe Hiyori was taught a thing or two with a blade? :unsure:
It would be cool but Hiyori wasn't there with Zoro and the others while he was trying to master Enma and i doubt she is training alone.
Moreover a few lesson in a week shouldn't be enough to fight a mythical zoan user, even weak as Orochi might be

Zoro still has no build up with kaido. Or even his calamities
No anger toward Kaido.

I meant as she was growing up. We still have 13 unaccounted for years in Hiyori's past :kayneshrug:

Zoro has build up with Kaido because of Enma. Don't forget that Kaido was involved in the SMILES that ruined Yasu and the people of Ebisu :smithnie:

Power-wise, it makes no sense i agree with that, but then again i also think it makes no sense for Law to directly jump into the Kaido battle when he was getting destroyed by Doffy, with Luffy also needing 3 fights at that level or higher to be a proper challenge to Kaido, but then again Law has hax, so in the end, it might depend on plot

And plotwise, i think the Onigashima attack will fail with the arc ending in a month instead of 2weeks. And if my prediction turns out to be right, with the Onigashima raid failing, the mid battle Zoro would get at that point could be used as a plot progression allowing a future potential partake in the Kaido battle(if it were to happen) to make more sense

In terms of build-up, Zoro so far had a build-up against Orochi in trying to avenge Yasu, maybe leading to him facing Kyoshiro again(if he isn't an ally). Historically though, it'd make more sense if Zoro faced King due to him usually facing the second strongest opponent in an arc.

On the other hand, Oda decided to give the only sword with the hype to scar Kaido to Zoro

With the magazine also hyping the possibility of the dragon cutting legend being revived

So it's definitely a possibility that Zoro might play a part in the Kaido battle. Luffy will still be the one defeating him anyway since it's something Oda himself hyped long before Wano, when thinking of ways Luffy could beat him

it might depend on plot
It will. Oda has already shown that he values the plot/narrative over established feats in the manga even in this arc, Zoro fainted from a stab that would normally otherwise not make him faint (Thriller Bark established his endurance capabilities) but had to in order for Oda to introduce and include Hiyori into the plot. There’s gonna be some PIS moments vs Kaido and Oda has already shown he doesn’t give a jack imo, so I won’t be surprised.

Zoro fainting is plot
But when other characters do bad... it is not plot?

Hiyori was already introduced prior to Zoro fainting.

Zoro was just too weak

What characters u talking about?

She was not fully introduced in the narrative when she initially appeared, in order to drive the plot forward, Oda had to have her develop a relationship with Zoro and reveal who she really is, Oda had to make Zoro pass out from an injury and then have her tend to his wound.

Same shit happened with Luffy, who was highlighted to have developed high poison resistance yet was somehow vulnerable to some poisonous fish and Oda painted the situation as dire and in order to drive the plot forward, he introduced Reiju to help him. Oda’s already done these sort of things where he favors plot and sacrifices established feats and stats of certain characters in the process. Zoro is not the only one who’s fallen victim to that.


Zoro was just too weak
And you think this is the reason why he passed out?
:okay:

He was still resistant to some extent....even Reiju commented that it would have been instant death otherwise....

Also, poison resistant =/= complete immunity

The only one who can beat me is me
I don't see why it doesn't make sense power wise for Zoro to be involved. He's not soloing Kaidou, he's gonna land a hit on him. With Enma mastered I see no reason why it's unbelievable he can play a role in a group effort. Zoro's AP should be through the roof. He doesn't need any progression aside from the training he already underwent.

If anything he'd need progression to solo King (if that ends up being his matchup).
 
I can see zoro slashing him but at the same time i dont believe itll effect him much during kaidos final fight

Imo zoro already will likely fight kyoshiro, king, and orochi in some type of way
I think at the end kaido will likely be left to law kid and luffy but that dont mean zoro cant hurt him by the end

And obviously zoro hurting kaido doesn't mean hes on his level especially considering how much help luffy might need
