hhhh I wasn’t making any of those posts lol. I’m speaking of right now and didn’t zoro scar kaido already? I’m just saying what is the incentive for zoro going back up to face off against kaido?
jobs not done
zoro is here to slay kaido and make a black blade :cheers:

the scar doesnt matter zoro had 20 broken bones when he made it now he is healed and there is no big mom to make a second hakai to nerf zoro
 
In terms of pure strength, Gear 4 before learning adv coc was stronger than Kaido (non awakened), with Kaido forced to wait for the stamina to run out.

He has whatever G4 stamina the plot demands, he ended Katakuri with a king move and he ended Doflamingo with a king move, he will most likely end Kaido with a king move after sort of keeping pace with his awakening using standard G4.
gear 4 luffy never was stronger than kaido, he just landed hundreds of hits too shallow to do any noticeable damage.

also i don't think it matters or not if luffy went gear 4. gear 4 only multiply basic physical stats, while haki flow is a completely different source of damage fully dependent on haki, and gear 4 doesn't boost haki strength, so it's the same thing whatever luffy does.
 
Kaido said his use of it was sloppy-> Luffy will be less sloppy with it and win. We have literally been told and shown multiple times haki blooms on the battlefield, of course he gets stronger during the fight.

Luffy hasn't even used combined G4+ adv CoC on panel yet, and hasn't used any KING moves yet at all.
It isn't a massive gap in base strength if he fought Kaido for 30 minutes with the handicap of learning to use this new power and while already being in a more fatigued and damaged state than Kaido, coming fresh out of a knock out.
Cap kaido didn't just insult his usage hw also insulted his gomu gomu attacks. Also we have mo clue if luffy fought kaido in gear 4th or not because the fight was ofscreened. And f luffy didn't use it then he knew that even with it he wouldn't have won and had an even lesser time frame in gear 4th since he is using so much haki in that state

Gear 4 swatted Kaido around, avoided his attacks, tanked his boro breath directly when he was being attacked by 2 yonko back to back, alone. It got to the point Luffy was able to pummel Kaido and Big Mom couldn't even risk intervening (and bruise Kaido that still had the same bruises in the same places after turning hybrid). It is safe to say G4 is stronger than unawakened Kaido, Kaido can outlast G4, but he can't outperform it.

G4 impressed Kidd so much he pretty much gave up on Kaido and completely freaked out Big Mom until she saw the time limit.

If you want to see why base damage is important after adding the appropriate haki penetration- think of haki bypassing his scales as sort of like Kaido's kryptonite. What would damage Superman more if it hit him- a kryptonite bullet to the chest or a kryptonite tank shell to the chest? The first would create a small hole, the second would explode his torso entirely.

His attack failed off screen, it is quite clear from the narrative tricks used and the phrasing Kaido mentioned.
In that round of combat Luffy was still learning to use advanced CoC as he went, now Luffy's subsequent haki bloom has even made his voice of all things awaken to the point that he could communicate with non users in a submarine...

Again to say he didn't use gear 4th is silly since the fight was offscreen

His haki will increase. However gear 4th it's doesn't increase his haki. Infacr it drains it.

full zoan kaido lacks mobility to a ridiculous extent, his only valuable attack are elemental that does no damage, everyone of the rooftop 5 supernovas could survive boro breath the same way they survived indra, also luffy is immune to lightning so big moms intervention is futile.

in hybrid kaido can easily block or dodge gear 4 attacks, he has the mobility, speed and power to do that.

physical strength is not effective against kaido it's been proven time and time again, the only way to hurt kaido is through haki flow specifically ACoC, your kryptonite example does not apply to this situation, physical strength = 0 no matter how many times you multiplied it, it all depends on how strong the haki is.
 
It's insane how strong yamato is , pre-udon G4 luffy got 1 shotted against normale kaido and this lady is fighting HYBRID KAIDO wtf? it would destroy the power dynamic of the crew even more then jinbe joining , i guess the current ranking is this
1) Zoro
2) Luffy = Yamato
3) Jinbe
4) Sanji = Franky

after Luffy and Zoro zenkai boost :
1) Zoro
2) Luffy
3) Yamato
4) Jinbe
5) Sanji = Franky

Huh? Kaido didn't go hybrid vs pre CoC g4 luffy.
 
This is how Sanji's main opponent this arc reacted to Zoro's simple slash that didn't even touch him:



Sanji fans still bring up Doriki from 15 years ago, can you imagine if Zoro's main opponent was scared to death of Sanji? Y'all would never let it go. The difference in portrayal is clear, Zoro is massively above Sanji. Get over it.
That’s just Queen’s quirky thing he always over reacting. It’s honestly what makes Queen the best and most enjoyable calamity in personality.
 
I keep telling you guys man y’all need to tamper your expectations of this zoro and kaido fight again because rn theres no incentive for zoro to go back up there and face kaido again. Now is there a chance he goes up against kaido again this arc? sure but as of right now those chances look slim.

Let’s look at the facts.
Luffy literally told him that he’s got kaido and that he and law should go back down with the others

luffy got his ass whopped thereafter and right now is recuperating to go back up to the skull dome with momonosuke carrying him. Preferably it’s gon be another round with prolly luffy saving the day due to prolly yamato getting burned out

Zoro is about to heal but subsequently king has not broke a single sweat against Marco so what’s king role in the story? Just fight Marco and that’s it?? I highly doubt that.

After luffy has pretty much given zoro the order to not worry about him do y’all really think he’s gonna disobey and go up to the rooftop just because???? That doesn’t make any sense even if you look at it from the perspective of Zoro’s character.

These are just some of the few things! I’m not saying any of these things to start another zoro vs sanji debate because of king and queen I’m saying based on the story and what we’ve been given so far it’s incredibly asinine to think zoro goes all the way to the skull dome to face off against kaido again, ignore luffys words and just leave the live floor like that. Things have To make sense man and if the story ain’t flowing then it don’t make sense.
Zoro isn't doing it now, he will do it at the capital
