Kaidos going to awaken and HE'S going to be the one to use the sword on onigashima

Explain further. I'm no buddhist.
Asura is a Buddhist figure and a demon who is from the hell realms but still works toward noble causes. The "path of the Asura" is someone who takes unwholesome karma onto themselves for the sake of someone with wholesome karma. Zoro is lazy, materialistic, an alcoholic, a murderer, etc but he does it as luffys follower for a good cause. A lot of his attack names reference the Buddhist billion fold world and the realms of existence. Any time you see Zoro saying some random philosophical bullshit that doesn't make sense, it actually does make sense and it's meticulously researched Buddhist mythology

Tbh a lot of arguments used as why the fight can't end in the following chapters don't really work to me, as they could either be shown next chapter, after Kaido's defeat or are more based on fans assumptions than something that MUST happen.
I remember many people being in denial about Big Mom falling without Oda explicitly showing her awakening, and yet...
Big mom is still coming back. Fortunately or unfortunately.

Now THAT'S a proper explanation.
Not a "one sentence reddit thread" that doesn't say anything. Take notes @solis
 
The problem with using foreshadowing as predictive is that it's not always clear whether something is actually foreshadowing and how a foreshadowed plot point will come to pass. Which is why it just doesn't make to judge good and bad writing based on your guesses of how foreshadowing will play out.

For example, it's possible Kaido claiming that people need to see Luffy lose is actually setting up Luffy losing to a future opponent (Blackbeard, Rocks, etc.). It's also possible Kaido is setting up the fallout from his own defeat against Luffy.

As for the other "plot points" which need to be resolved, half of them aren't plot points and half of them are right on track. Zoro's shinigami plot for example has Kuma vibes and feels like it belongs after the raid is over. The people of the flower capital witnessing the climax is right on track. Orochi... is probably actually dead lol.

Meanwhile a Kaido flashback isn't an unresolved plotpoint so much as something people want, and could theoretically take place after his defeat. Rather than the WG ships taking Kaido to Impel Down, or him dying like he wanted, we could see a situation where Kaido loses the fight, wakes up a day later, and tells his story to the man who bested him.
I would be really happy if you're right, I'm just not really convinced tbh.

Something really tells me that we'll get another curveball (really hope I'm wrong though).
 
Where is Crocodile flashback at Arabasta? I want to go back now
One piece was simpler back then. Antagonists didn't really require backstories like they do now. Katakuri was very much like a pre-timeskip antagonist because nothing about his past needed to be told.

Kaido by far is the one that should have something, far more than Doflamingo at least, and more than BM at this point
 
I don't think a Kaido's flashback without Rocks would be satisfying, as this period seems to have shaped Kaido's character quite a lot. Basically it would feel incomplete. Or Rocks's character seems to be related to Blackbeard and it would very Oda to keep Rocks hidden til we're in Blackbeard's arc. Maybe Oda plans to draw long Rocks flashback featuring several characters, including Kaido (like Law flashback also featured Doflamingo backstory)
