Underwhelming. His character is remarkably underdeveloped despite all the build up leading up to him. That would be fine if he were presented as he was sold to us. Despite being one of the strongest characters in the verse, if not the strongest, he fails to inspire any sort of presence or fear. It was wearing thin throughout the earlier points of Wano, but the flashback was a significant blow to his portrayal. He isn't cunning or charismatic enough to pull off the mastermind gig, (and that was more PIS on Oden's part than any brilliance from Kaido or Orochi), and now he seems like just another strong character amongst strong characters rather than the Alpha and Omega.

The new developments with his son feel like a last minute ploy for developing him, but it's intrusive at this stage of the arc, imo.

I admit that he's objectively not a very deep character for the moment, villains like Blackbeard or Doflamingo easily top him in terms of writing. But I'm totally into his design and abilities, I've never been that hyped about a One Piece villain before. Oda has a great opportunity to expand on Kaido's character and story with the Yamato plot and Kaido's mysterious connection to the Numbers, let's see where it goes.

I dont like he so much. But as by now we dont know much about his background, he stand just a overpower thug.

I see him as the worst yonko characterwise, and in this arc Orochi has been much more interesting as a villan.

But pehaps as the Arc go on we will get some more about his past with Rocks, his dragon ability and this imortality thing.

Badass Design, powerful but isn't really running the arc as the big Boss, except Orochi is the one being the key figyre

Perhaps Oda want Orochi to fall first then Kaido will get all the focus

Kaido has as much personality as his club

That's maybe not entirely fair, but he's so far been very overshadowed by Orochi. Before Wano, glimpses we got of him was cool. Suicidal arrogant moodswinging drunk, that's some great ingredients for an Oda villain. Then his Act One appearance was everything you want from the guy- showed up, trashed Luffy, showed his capricious drunken side.

Since then he's been very meh. Generic strong angry guy. The expectation is that Yamato gives us a great insight into his personality and character, so I'll judge him then at the end of the arc. It might be the case that we'll look back on Wano and the last half of it is all about Kaido, making up for his relative lack of use in the first bit.

Mind you'll give him a great fight and nobody will really give a damn about his character. That's all Lucci amounted to, after all.

Maybe wait abit early to be saying that? I agree we havent learned much about Kaido however I believe that was done purposly by Oda since we were at wano in which kaido never even made that many appearances in the first place.

Now we're at Onigashma,it goes without saying that we will learn more about Kaido and his crew overtime...
