I think Zoro will Cut Kaido. ZCK. I'm not sure he'll kill him. It's a complicated thing. Oda doesn't seem to like deaths and he also doesn't seem to glorify revenge plots, from what I've seen. Luffy destroys villains for others' futures, to help the living move forward, not to avenge the dead. Then again, if killing Kaido is somehow required for Wano's borders to open his death is inevitable. I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but the fact that Kaido is looking to die a heroic death complicates it even more.
Here are a few possibilities:
1. Kaido actually does achieve his dream and dies a 'heroic' death. In this scenario he probably becomes a sympathetic character, possibly through a flashback, and could be killed by someone in the Alliance. Probably someone who doesn't want revenge. Most likely Luffy. Zoro could kill Kaido in this case, not for revenge, though. His death leads to Wano's borders being opened and he's 'remembered.'
2. Kaido wants to die a heroic death but he dies an 'inconsequential' death instead. That means not in the heat of war. Probably some pathetic way, possibly. It would be anticlimactic, but for Kaido's situation, also fitting. His memory would be compromised since he dies in such a way, and he can die envying Oden and Whitebeard. For Kaido this makes sense narratively if he is to fail achieving what he wants, but it is darker than the first option and a side step from Oda's style.
3. Kaido wants to die a heroic death, so he doesn't die heroically or at all yet. He's captured in Impel Down or put away. This seems the least satisfying conclusion but also leaves the story open for his return in the Final War. It also follows the pattern Oda has set with pretty much all the villains so far.
