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

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."

Just chilling

Its baffling the way Oda handled Kaido tbh, there is still the post GV stuff where he stopped being a rookie and started doing his own thing until Wano stretch and then Wano to now to cover but Im not holding any hope that Oda will care to show it or if he does, that he will deliver.

Every day some lunatic shows up saying Kaidou is going to get powercrept, and so far nothing—what they’ve really been doing is waiting for that since:



:Rofl::Rofl::Rofl:



Good luck overshadowing the feats of the guy who was carrying an island as a side quest while partying all night and showing off the greatest feats we have so far. LMAO
