Yeah ; Let's see :
-> Kizaru clapped snakeman that Luffy needed to use his strongest form Gear 5th ...
-> Hybrid Kaido thinks that Gear 2sd , 3rd Luffy can go toe to toe with him which means :
No Magma flame No Drunk Form Hybrid Kaido ≃ Gear 2sd , Gear 3rd Luffy
-> Luffy still had a Gear which is stronger than what he had shown before named Gear 4th ; while also Kaido has stronger forms and in the end Luffy died against the second strongest attack in Drunk Form and overall it's the third strongest attack :
<< Thunder below Bagua >>
-> Kaido's strength in Tiers would be :
Magma Like Flame Kaido > Drunk Forms > Hybrid Kaido > Base Kaido > Dragon Form Kaido .
The Highlight is :
> Magma Like Flame Kaido matched Gear 5th Luffy's strongest attack .
> Drunk Forms wasted Gear 4th Luffy .
> Gear 2sd + 3rd Luffy matched Hybrid Kaido .
> Kizaru so far has shown three forms :
Awakened Kizaru > Swordman Kizaru ( an imperial japanese weapon ) > Base Kizaru ( using lasers and kicks ... ) .
> Kizaru in his base clapped snakeman Luffy and pushed him to use Gear 5th that was needed for Drunk Form Kaido and his ultimate form .
Just with the info that Hybrid Kaido thinks Gear 2sd + 3rd Luffy is on his level while snakeman got clapped by Base Kizaru ; it means :
1/ Base Kizaru > Hybrid Kaido per feats ; Drunk form Kaido needed his third strongest attack to end things for good :
Flaming Bagua > Death Destroyer Bagua > Thunder below Bagua .
2/ Kizaru still has his swordmanship and his awakening .
1+2 = Kizaru is HIM ; Yonko fans need to know that Kizaru is pushing Kaido beyond Drunk Form since the dude needs his 3rd strongest attack while kizaru wasted him in his base .
