Yes. I agree with your point but its pis imo. Kaido has lots of advantages fighting in base over dragon form as well as wounded kaido attack which k.o.ed oden is more powerful than boro breath which oden tanked without too many problems. Divine thunder from healthy kaido is more powerful.
Kaido should have been able to beat oden in his hybrid.
Its like luffy fears/has ptsd of a character who defeated luffy while in his base mode but luffy could have won against them using g4
yeah
its pis because oda ideally would have shown kaido going all out but he wouldnt want to spoil his hybrid form . why tf would he have ptsd of man who bested him in quote on quote "his weakest form".
this is the point where power-scaling and story takes an odd turn .
regardless of how oda drew that fight
oden was supposed to look better and the manifestation of that is kaido fearing anything oden related.
katakuri luffy was another good example , no matter how much people cried at the end of the fight luffy was still much weaker because of how oda portrayed both parties in the fight , katakuri seems to think they are quite equal .
and just like that
arguments of katakuri better in fs
better in coa arguments are done
the author is telling you where he ranks strength-wise regardless of how bad luffy looked.
same case here and I bet the oden wank hasnt ended yet.
