Character Discussion Kaido's fallen reputation

#2
Yep, Kaido is absolutely getting power cliffed.

God Valley flashback showed us that Kaido was the Jack of the Rocks pirates. Both in their 20's while the true #1-2 in those crews were in or close to their primes in their 30-50's.

If Jack (28) had good progression the next 31 years (Kaido is/was 59) then it's feasible he too would have reached yonko level around 4B.

But beyond that level there is the WB/Roger (and Xebec) level of 5B+ and we are yet to see how high Luffy, Loki, Shanks, Mihawk, Dragon, Sabo, Zoro, BB, Law, Kidd, Akainu, Aokiji will reach in the end. Some will "only" reach 4-5B, some will ascend to 6-10B. And you probably need to reach that 8-10B before you get to speak to Imu.

never showed up on imu's radar
his captain's equal was sitting only a couple islands away from wano
waited until whitebeard was sick and dying to claim his head

enjoy your magma bath lmao
Power cliffed by anomly like Imu and Joyboy is fine. That was expected.

Rest are in the same ball park more or less, not even shanks is mid or low diffing him.

It will be Extreme~hard diff regardless.

Kaido was the peak of the Rox Pirates era. This is just mental retardation. He was like Luffy at MF.

Jack will never be called the "World's Strongest" anything.

Kaido at Rocks was clearly WAY behind Rocks and WB and still a bit behind Big Mom (closer gap than compared to first 2). Before God Valley nobody would of guessed Kaido > Shiki but the way Shiki was handled it seems plausible. He was a super strong rookie but no doubt he would get his s*it packed in if he tried it with WB or Rocks because unlike those two who were at or very close to their peaks Kaido didn't reach his for another 15-20 years or so post defeating Oden.

Jack was only 28 but already at 1B. Except Shanks and the new gen lead by Luffy and so on we have never seen a 28 year old reach 1B. Kaido actively protected him physically and even protected Jacks ego by claiming he was strong, it was just that the Sulong Minks were even stronger. In 20 years time, at 48 years of age, he could definitely have reached yonko status. Perhaps not same level/height as Kaido but he could have peaked at 3.3, 3.6 or 3.9 which is plenty enough for handling most foes in the OP world.
