Why is my guy still trying to make Kaido relevant? He'd get the belt all the same lol
Not even slander, all top tiers get this treatment.
I think Kaido can fight Imu fairly evenly, but not do any real damage due to Imu's Demon hax.
We still need to see Kaido and Linlin's minds catch up to their bodies. IMO, Kaido's complex revolves around Joy Boy/Rocks, and Linlin's is clearly Mother Carmel.
Once Kaido deals with his Joy Boy issues, and Linlin learns the truth about Carmel, we'll see them Awaken fully. Kaido will fully support the new Joy Boy and Wano (Luffy, who already owes him checks for Haki training), and Linlin will support Elbaph upon realizing they were her real friends and Carmel was just more government trash.
The nuttiest thing for me about these two characters is we haven't seen their full power.
I think Act 4 is when we'll see the Admiral Awakenings, too... though I think we could see Kizaru or Fujitora Awaken against Imu here.
Kuzan is definitely showing up for Robin/Saul, my big question is, does Kizaru of Fujitora show up?
Admiral Agenda would go NUTTY if an Admiral clashes with Imu cleanly here.
