So right away it's not that Kaido didn't use Awakening it's that he can't use it.. And for 2 specific reasons..
The first one Sawyer7mage explains it very well when he touch upon the subject in his
review for One Piece chapter 1061..
The Zoan Awakenings have risk to them.. You can lose yourself to the primal desire of said animals in
certain cases..
This effect can also be noticed in races that have beast like genetics such as the Fishmen and the Minks..
lt was shown with Arlong when he snapped at Luffy his personality completely changed and he had red eyes..
The same with Sulong transformation their pupil turn red and if they stay too long in that state they can go
berserk similar to pre timeskip Monster point..
l believe that Kaido too and his Oni race have the same tendency to unleash their innate monster and the
tendency to not be able to control a Zoan Awakening as they would go on a rampage..
That's why Kaido asked Luffy who he was again while holding his own face to confirm whether his Zoan
had taken over his body or not..
This characteristic can as well be observed in Sea Kings that go astray from the Calm belt they go berserk
with red eyes..
With this explanation at least i can accept Kaido not using Awakening in Wano which was a
big factor that prevented me from moving on and as to how Kaido went down..
lf Kaido was to ever eat a rumble ball and able to go Awakening for 30 minutes..
He would without a doubt be on par or above Prime Whitebeard Roger..
