Powers & Abilities Lets settle this once and for all: was Kaido awakened or not???

[Johnny B. Decent]

My personal belief is to learn Awakening, you have to be mere inches from death, and characters like Kaido are nominally too powerful to have achieve the conditions for such an event.

....until now with the Volcano.

Zoro will still fight him and that's the time he will awaken

Which makes me wonder... was whitebeard awakened?

Awakening was already explained. It's when your mind catches up to your DF body. Kaido didn't awaken because his mentality didn't match that of the benevolent deity that the Azure Dragon should be. WB wasn't Awakened either because his DF of mass destruction isn't befitting of a kind man who just wants to protect his family

Man I want to say he was but every other awakened Zoan has the cloud so I have to say no. The evidence is just there. Oda is ass for not awakening Kaido.

What mentality is needed for mochi, giraffes or magnetism though?
It’s just the same as CoC: Oda’s whim

Idk, probably some more abstract stuff

DFs are created from people's dreams and desires, so Awakening probably happens when your dreams/desires align with the DF creator's dreams/desires

 

[IsaziSempi]

He was pretty much awakened when fight luffy alone but zoan awakening is just a durability and Stat boost. Probably the more he lost control over his human side and became more like a dragon.

A giraffes desire is just to eat plants in the savannah though. That’s not what Kaku is doing.
This may be a bit meta, but Kid is also one of the least magnetic people in the series.

It’s just Oda doing what he’s always done; giving it out without rhyme or reason.

In hindsight I think his fat nose form was awakening. But how fucking lousy is it that we have to guess
