The ZKK theory may be the most anticipated moment of any arc we've seen. It carried momentum throughout the 4 year ordeal that was Wano
After Kaido's defeat, many incorrectly asserted that Zoro did not kill Kaido, but this is hardly the case.
Let's look at some of the damage kaido sustained throughout the course of the raid:
- Negligible damage
The magma
King's flames are confirmed to be>magma. Kaido likely can't be hurt by his subordinate's flames. Hence, the magma did not damage him.
- Notable damage
Luffy's final attack
It certainly wobbled Kaido, and perhaps momentarily knocked him out. Very impressive, but nowhere near enough to kill the man.
- Significant damage
Zoro
Kaido spit out a pool of blood, and received a fatal scar. This parallels with Oden's wound, which harmed kaido so badly that the 9 folders managed to reopen it 2 decades later.
Zoro's is far more recent, and deeper. The damage likely carries throughout the fight, and sapped away slowly at Kaido. You really think the WSC dies from blunt punches? We should look at which attacked harmed him the most, and label it as the cause of death/defeat
So zoro haters, please do keep hating. ZKK has delivered. Cope, seethe and mald
