I don't mind the multi personality thing since iirc it is a real life mental illness and the multiple personalities were kind of fun imo.
But also, what about his backstory? What about his relationships with the other members of his team?
You mean the random humans he was using as pawns, the random humans he was positioning to get killed lol?

Not very interesting.

His multi-personality isn't anyway representative of any mental illness, it's Togashi thinking he can pull off a great plot twist with the line "The 7 of us will open a portal to Hell" revealing to not be his henchmen + him but himself the entire time. It gets in the way of the character having any consistent through line besides being depraved and evil.

The video tape was alright I guess but a horrible fight with a bad reveal (multi-personalities) keeps him in the shit tier
 
I mean true it did mention Hanafuda became a fan of Kaido, YC2s aren't fans of each other
Look at this joke… A “rival” who’s supposedly equal all of a sudden becomes a fan of the other’s strength. 😏 Seriously? If you were truly equal, there’d be no reason to admire, idolize, or be awestruck by them. Admiration only happens when someone is clearly above you, even if you try to hide it.

So this whole “equal rival” story is just narrative forcing the idea that they’re on the same level. In reality, the fan is admitting the other’s superiority without even realizing it. It’s like saying: “I’m equal, but look at what a monster he is!” — ridiculous, right?

The so-called “equal” to Kaidou, Hanafunda, didn’t just die to make his supposedly hilarious “equal” the next Pirate King—he even entrusted the protection of his two children to someone he considered equal in strength. Like, would he really need Kaidou guarding his kids if they were truly equals?

Admirer and fan of the strength of his “equal.”
Entrusted his children to the guy he was said to be equal to.
Died giving his all to make his “equal” the Pirate King.
It’s so strange and contradictory that it makes me laugh.
 
It did but at the time it was a fairly new idea iirc
People forget Yu Yu Hakusho was around at the same time as Dragon Ball. It's by no means a peer to anything that came after, and a lot of the ideas there were still very fresh
I had no problem with him being a Mao just the suddenness of it with no real build up is the problem and was a bit out of Togashis typical writing. I feel like if he redid it he would sprinkle hints throughout the arc
