Character Discussion Kaido... Had potential but Oda neglected him so badly...

[Doggo]

I dont believe Oda neglected Kaido.
Kaido is EXACTLY what Oda wanted him to be.
It just happens that what Oda envisioned wasn't really that great.

He knew Oden wouldn't bother telling him no mattet what he was part of Roger's crew so he was hoping his retainers or Momo would know it at least.

I guess he could have tried cause there was the life of all citizens up to the stakes. Oden might have indeed revealed him the position of the One Piece. 🤔

Just like 3 dots had the potential but you neglected it so badly.

I'd say Kaido had the potential to be a really cool villain with sheer violence. I don't think Kaido had the potential to be a great, well crafted villain.

A character you wanna see but you'd never put up there as one of OP's best antagonists. The Broly of OP.

Not only Orochi but also Kanjuro is a better villain than Kaido. Laido is only the 3rd good villain of Lano.

Oda is capable of pulling a grand introduction to characters (it indeed works to set our expectation high toward them) but his execution is poor most of time though. Look how BM was introduced, how was Jack.. etc etc you named it, now how they are now? Its not like only Kaido suffer this treat. So no surprise here tbh.
