We were introduced to the awakening way back in Impel Down, but the real hype began when Doffy and then Katakuri were introduced as awakened Paramecia users. And many of us expected that we will get introduced to the real Zoan awakenings in Wano, which so far has unfortunately not happened. Then we get introduced to the ACoC which we did not exactly know when Roger and WB are shown in Oden's flashback (some can even say that Elizabello's King Punch is also an ACoC attack). And the real hype is brought when Luffy gets confirmation from Kaido in 1010 and the remark of only a handful of the very strongest can use it.
However in the same arc and in a small of span of chapters we get introduced to a total of 5 characters that are right there in Onigashima who can use ACoC, Kaido, BM, Luffy, Yamato and Zoro. But while the Kaido vs Luffy fight has mainly focused on the ACoC part the fight between BM vs Kidd & Law has been focused on DF awakening. Yamato and BM using ACoC has mostly been sort of an afterthought in the fights shown, I think most people don't even remember Yamato using ACoC apart from her Thunder Bagua (so weird that she copies her father's fighting style after hating him and fighting against him for so long). The Kidd and Law vs BM fight still has only shown us Paramecia awakening, we have yet to see the Zoan and Logia awakenings.
There might be an argument that both Kaido and BM are already awakened users (most people would expect the Yonkos to have awakening) but then I think that Oda has sort of balanced the power system that by not giving every powerup to these two like BM does not have FS. People say that OP fights are bad but I think they are a whole lot more interesting with all these different types of powers in play and the possibilities of other powerups to be introduced even later in a manga that is already 1000+ chapters long.
But there are 4 main characters who have been given the two different types of powerups. Luffy and Zoro have been given the ACoC powerup and Kid and Law have been given the awakening powerup. I think that if Luffy is also given awakening right now then it could at the same time been interpreted as Kaido being shown more powerful since Luffy needed both types of powerups to beat him (this will be needed I think if Luffy vs Kaido is a 1v1 until the very end) or that since it was 1v1 Luffy needed both powerups to beat Kaido.
I think that BM vs Kidd and Law is over and now we are free to speculate how Luffy vs Kaido will end. I still have a hard time believing that Oda will let Luffy solo defeat Kaido when it took two rivals to beat BM. I mean the Monster trio dynamic has been saved throughout and I would say that Oda will most likely also save the Captain trio dynamic (I think very fans would want a similar things like what happened with Naruto and Sasuke and now recently with Deku in Hero Academy).
Also what is that chapter 1049 reference, I have read it multiple times in the forum but I don't know what it is.
