Powers & Abilities Is Oda running out of elemental powers to give to his characters?

Well, there are only so many elements in real life…is he supposed to create brand new natural substances or forces just for more source material? Maybe Oda from two decades ago had the power to alter chemical properties or create matter from thin air, but present day Oda’s clearly too tired to even weave a cohesive narrative.

Kaido is a eastern dragon which has lore of being able to control the wheather so it makes sense that he can do all the elemental attacks and the same can be said for Yamatos ice power.

Kaido speciality is already the fact he can use multiple elements, fly and is invulnerable to almsot anything so I don't think he even needs some special elemental power on the top of that (anyway if you want something the Boro breath/hyper beam is already more than enough here). Same goes for BM, it is already a stretch for me that she can use fire, thunder, water etc. then there are the admirals who use elemental logia and indeed they not only have the element but a stronger version (Aokiji has ice which is way more durable than normal ice) otherwise they would be totally overshadowed by the emperors and their DF.
I mean so Yamato can use ice and Aokiji can use ice, and both Kaidou and Nami and BM can use lightning. it's just the same powers right? No difference whatsoever between their lightning.

Kaidou has Boro Breath though, so it's concentrated fire that becomes like laser? If so, imo Oda should put emphasize on its concept and powers in order for readers to recognize why Boro Breath is so strong and original etc ("it's a plasma beam! Its even hotter than magma!" etc) so Oda doesnt have to give him more elements, just stick to the physical strength, boro breath and flame clouds but hype those special powers.

Both Kaidou and BM has just so many types of elements powers cramped up in their body, but its kind of jack of all trades but master of none, while i thought mythical zoans or DF in general are all about mastering a specific power instead being jack of all trades?

Kaido is basically an Avatar with multiple elements bending. Yamato's fruit is a Makami which is a ice wolf. Oda likes to rip-off fruits a lot like Ace's fire and Oven's heat fruits for example.
they use elements, but this garbage doesn't even come close to an element of an admiral, for example.

at the end of the day, kaido and his kanabo with haki is his power, his elements are just to scare randons.

Yes imo theyre all useless for Kaidou, until now the gap of strength between his elements and his kanabo CoC etc is to high
