Questions & Mysteries Kaido is Joyboy’s Descendant

#22
This Kaido wanted to tango with Joyboy and he did lol
Kaido gives me strong Nagato vibes from Naruto. Both wanted to be the savior but both massively failed and went down a dark path. Both gave the MC one of the hardest match-ups where they lost multiple times until a demon/god bailed them out

Nagato wasn’t a reincarnation but he was off-handedly of Senju and Uzumaki descent. Kaido could just be offhandedly descended from Joyboy but he never was supposed to have a special role

Let's give credit to Kaido, the man forced Luffy to unlock three power ups in a single arc. Luffy went from barely high tier to solid top tier in Wano. Kaido was Luffy's training tool for the next stage.

I agree, and also think Joy Boy has a decent number of descendants.

IMO Luffy and Yamato are long distance cousins.
Almost every major character has lineage connections to the past

Japanese culture and storytelling favors blood-related connections with the concept of “Fate/Destiny” making its way down several generations

Luffy, BB, Law, Vivi, Roger, Ace, Xebec, all D. clan members

Doffy, Shanks, Bonney, all descended from Celestial Dragons

Even Zoro is distantly descended from Ryuma

Kaido’s emphasis as being “Joyboy” in the past means he must be connected to someone in the Void Century. No random pirate would have the potential to become the next Joyboy without the proper genetics

Kaido, from an early age, already had a strong sense of freedom like Joyboy/Nika is a representation of


We all thought Xebec wanted to recruit Kaido for his strength, but perhaps he wanted Kaido because he thought Kaido himself was connected to Joyboy. And also explains why BM was so interested in him, she knows that Kaido is connected to Joyboy


Genetics check out. Joyboy was pretty huge, not Giant huge but bigger than the average human, just like Kaido. Possibly Joyboy was also an Oni and he actually hid his horns using the strawhat




King, a Lunarian, believes that Kaido was the Joyboy that his folktakes spoke of. A connection that runs deep between Joyboy and his old allies




Strength-related: Kaido is the biggest “Haki dominates all” merchant, Joyboy’s Haki is so powerful it deterred all 5 CoC-wielding Gorosei at once. Kaido and Joyboy are also the elite of the elite: Mythical Zoan in combination with ACoC, perfect balance of both

Lastly, Kaido wanted to start a war that the mural predicts will happen in the third world. Kaido tried to start this war but failed for various reasons
Hey great post. If you check my signature i wrote/compiled a big theory in 2 parts ... and i wanted to write about this idea but with more details in part 3 but i didn't have the time.

I do believe that Kaido is connected to JoyBoy by blood and Luffy by spirit.
