Warning: Spitting these facts might trigger some people, for example, those who hold the Pirate King and alike on a pedestal.
Since the dawn of time, I have been saying that Roger and Whitebeard are not what people expected them to be.
They were never individually the strongest characters in this story, people have completely misread their purpose...
Every evidence of other characters being stronger than those two was met with strong opposition, giving birth to limitless copium.
Today, I will tell you why characters like Roger and Whitebeard are irrelevant background characters.
I will also include characters like Rocks, Oden and Harald as well among them. I will also explain why Kaido is the strongest among them.
What are these characters narratively?
Are they a major focus of the story? Is a large part of the story building up towards them?
What do they ultimately represent? Do they have a purpose in the present/final saga? Try to answer these without coping.
They are nothing more than placeholders for someone else. Whitebeard can be seen as an exception but I will explain why I still include him here. From what I see, Whitebeard doesnt have a replacement, something all of the others do.
The reason might be because the story did focus and build up towards Whitebeard, the whole pre-TS was basically his era and it ended with his death. The same goes for Kaido, he also doesnt have a replacement and was the major focus of the post-TS that built up towards his death... Both Kaido and Whitebeard actually do have "sons" but their sons do not matter...
This is not the case for the other 4 mentioned alongside Whitebeard.
Oden, Rocks, Roger and Harald, lets include even Whitebeard and Kaido here, are stories of failures.
Every single one of them has failed in whatever they tried to do.
Why?!
Because that is their purpose in the story, to be failures, to be placeholders for someone else who will succeed at all those things!
And who is it that will succeed in those things? Luffy, the MC, our Godfy! Duh!
The success is destined for the Sons of those Failures!
They key to understanding the story of One Piece was always by looking at the big picture, trying to understand the purpose of characters from EOS perspective instead of being a weekly reaction bots that ride the hype waves and power scale based on popularity...
All those statements that place Kaido and Oden above those others are true because ultimately, that is a list of people that doesnt matter. Their one and only purpose is being hype tools for each other and Kaido & Oden are the ones who benefited the most from it.
Ultimately, Kaido is the strongest character of that old generation, exactly as the manga facts said he was, stronger than all 5 of his top 5 and that includes Harald, the equal of Rocks who is among Kaido's top 5... However, the people on Kaido's top 5 & Harald represent people who will surpass Kaido!
There is an odd one among the Kaido's top 5 or lets call it top 6 due to Harald.
The other 5 are dead, the other 5 are not in the present and shaping the world in Final Saga.
Shanks is... Why is he different than others? Well, I think Shanks wasnt supposed to be in that top 5 panel but his father instead.
However, due to Garling not being introduced yet at that time, Shanks was placed where his father should have been.
In the end, it doesnt matter much because it still accomplishes the same thing.
Kaido's top 5 are weaker than Kaido but their Sons will be stronger than Kaido.
1 - Let's start with the obvious one, Rocks D Xebec, his successor is Blackbeard, the ultimate DF merchant of the show.
He is powering up through DFs and will likely end up with 3 of them and he will succeed in what his father failed - dethrone Imu.
2 - Oden has a successor as well, his son Momonosuke who ate one of the 2 important DFs that Rocks spoke of.
A copy of Kaido's fruit is basically given to a copy of Oden who is likely learning aCoC as we speak and he will succeed in what his father failed - he will open the borders of Wano and be one of the major supporters of the leaders of the new age that his father spoke of...
3 - Harald has a successor, a superior copy that ate the legendary DF of Elbaf, also one of the 2 important ones that Rocks spoke of and he will succeed in what his father failed to do - he will establish good relations between Elbaf and the whole world. While he was weaker before, he might receive a buff now that he is grasping aCoC which he wasnt fully aware of...
4 - Shanks is one of the central figures of the story and represents a few things and that might be the reason why he's a child of destiny.
He is Garling's son but he has inherited Roger's will as well as copied his fighting style. However, Shanks might have something Roger didnt have - a DF fed to his sword. And that DF was not awakened and by awakening it he gets to surpass Kaido and escapes the lockdown that is placed on him by Kaido's statements.
5 - While Whitebeard has a son or rather a clone of himself, the boy's retarded... It is that simple.
Very unlikely to to have a great purpose like the other Sons and to surpass Kaido but we will see.
Consider it a possibility.
6 - Lastly, we come down to Roger, whose son died... As irrelevant as his daddy in the grand scheme of things...
While Shanks did inherit Roger's will and combat style, what if Roger still has a living and breathing son?
It has been implied when he held Oden's children that it has been a while since he held a baby...
If my theory of Burn Scar being Rocks' 3rd son ends up wrong, he could be Roger's son instead!
In the end folks, the reason why Kaido's top 5 are weaker than him and are narratively failures by purpose is because their sons are a success and they are the ones who will reach the heights their fathers never could, they are those who matter and shape the world in the Final Saga, they are not the placeholders.
They are those who will surpass Kaido, not their irrelevant hypetool fathers.
Next time you try to wank those failures, you have no excuse.
Copium by default.
Today's power scaling lesson comes to its end. Until next time.
