Character Discussion “Just Wait For The Rocks Flashback Bro! Oda Is Saving Kaido’s True Backstory! Kaido Is Deep Bro!”

Boa has a concise backstory in a 2-volume arc. Her current arrogance is linked to her looks and to her humiliation, of which the tattoo is a reminder. Then we're shown where she got her tattoo, linking her story to the darker sides of the WG and to Fisher Tiger. It works because it's all that's needed to humanize her and to show that she is on Luffy's side against Ace's captors.

Kaido gets an equally-short flashback in 15-volume arc. He was a child soldier and was experimented on by the WG. Neither info tells us anything new on either him nor the world. His relationship with King is kept to a minimum, his time as a Rocks pirate mostly skipped. The flashback is hollow. It doesn't help us change our minds on Kaido, nor to better understand why he became a tyrant.

A short, fast-paced flashback like Boa's would've been fine, if we were given something interesting to work with. Instead, Kaido was given the most basic bitch miserable childhood and that's it, no greater events in the OP lore, no deeper motivation.

Alright but she still barely had a backstory told compared to kuma doffy jinbei law though

who gaf about kaido character 😂
As long as he’s the standard topic in verse debates and rapes admirals that’s fine with me.

@MonsterKaido also I remember the argument was kaidos feats was gonna get eclipsed by kizaru in egghead and when it wasn’t they switched it too him being a trash character like that changes his power lvl lmao
we want GV feats fuck character development he’s dead

Kaido is the wall which keeps admirals fans awake at night. @EmperorKinyagi even admitted he had nightmares about waido

This kind of Kaido would be peak, but he'd bring nothing to the story. In the race for the OP, he's no threat to the SHs, he was already stopped by Shanks, and it would make no sense for him to lose to BB, either.

If Kaido comes back, it won't be to claim the treasure, but to fulfill his dream: get his epic death in a worldwide conflict.

I expect a cliffhanger 200 chapters from now simply presenting us a still-recovering Kaido reading the newspaper with a grin, and going, "So this is what you've been up to, Joyboy. It does sound funny."
