Zoro's plot line with Kaido is far from over , it's only a matter of WHEN
I agree.
Whenever Zoro put his bandana on, the fight didn't really conclude until he won, whereas fights that happened without it could conclude either way without Zoro having to win:
Braham, Ryuma and Monet lost.
Kuma didn't.
Enel, Lucci, and Kizaru didn't.
Killer, Hawkins, and Apoo lost.
That's why Mihawk was an outlier in this regard, and why he also served as Zoro's second teacher. This exception so far is only for Mihawk and Mihawk alone, since he is Zoro's endgame villain. However:
Morgan lost.
Cabaji lost.
Nyaaban brothers lost.
Hacchi lost.
Mr. 5 lost.
Mr. 1 lost.
Ohm lost (battle royal).
Kaku lost.
Oars lost (group fight).
Hyouzou lost.
Pica lost.
Kaido is still standing. We all know this must not be.
