Finally it looks like Luffy defeated Kaido in this chapter, me who would think it would be in the next chapter. I eagerly await the footage for the final clash of Luffy's longest fight against Kaido who held his rank perfectly from start to finish, he defeated Luffy 4 times before GEAR 5 and even tied with Luffy in what more could you ask for?
Personally I am very satisfied with the fight which was overall quite coherent, Luffy never dominated Kaido in this fight, he was evenly matched on a few sentences but overall Kaido was on top it was only in the last phase of the fight. fights as Luffy tanks and hits Kaido back with his GEAR 5.
Don't always believe Oda when he talks in SBS he's a big troll in this stuff but when he said "he doesn't want where he doesn't think Luffy will beat Kaido with just one fist overpowered" I think he had an idea in mind but dropped it to go back to the classic One Piece scheme. Katakuri etc.)
I really think he wanted to do something other than that maybe he wanted someone to weaken Kaido with serious consequences that will be felt during his fight against Luffy.
But finally clarified how Kaido was weakened here?
Even carrying the island didn't weaken him that much Oda mentioned it twice and it was only when Luffy split the sky in two with Kaido, that is during the penultimate round which ended in chapter 1043 just before Luffy awakened his GEAR 5 in the present final round.
He is surely tired more than everyone but in the end Luffy's contribution in this fight is huge in this fight, we can even be tempted to say that Luffy almost beat Kaido on his own, since it seems that finally the fight of the red scabbards, of the Supernovas including Luffy on the roof, of Yamato had no impact on Kaido himself.
I think Oda wanted to legitimize that Luffy will defeat Kaido on his own or at least clearly be the main player in Kaido's defeat while trying to weaken Kaido chose who didn't see himself too much.
