I think someone here mentioned before that Kaido maybe didn't use awakening till now because he still doesn't have full controle over it. Perhaps he completely loses reason like those back in impel down and becomes a raging dragon beast if he ever awakens.
Yeah I'd love that tbh. We know nobody has really challenged Kaido since Oden, nobody ever did that damage to him again, ever brought him so close to death or further too. We also know he got his DF at God's Valley so he couldn't have awakened back then either.
I was really hoping Kaido would go on a truly berserk Oni rampage with his awakening and it would confirm that he killed Morias crew too then but this time he goes berserk not just due to personal reasons on what could have happened between them potentially but to his awakening and thus is even more dangerous, destructrive, enraged, primal etc.
Until it was mentioned recently, I had the headcanon that Bepo's Sulong was being held off because he had no control/experience with it and it would be last ditch resort for him to save/protect Law but it was said somewhere recently, I think in the manga itself or somewhere by Shachi and Penguin that Bepo does have Sulong and can use it seemingly well them?
We also had Pekoms rampaging with Sulong to be fair?
Even if Kaido doesn't ramapage with awakening, we
should have gotten that with Jack at least given how impatient, hot tempered, brutal and brutish he is.
To humour the raid failing cult, I used to want it to fail too as formerly part of it and my wish for it failing would involve Kaido awakening and going berserk like Big Mom did at WCI but much more savagely and focused in a way, where he is just hell bent on killing everyone, performing a one man/oni/dragon genocide there and then..
It would be the perfect throwback to Impel Down as you werer referring too ofc.

I also like to think that despite what Sengoku said there was some genuine camaraderie between Xebec and his crew
The only outlier of Rocks was probably Whitebeard really
Higurashi probably stirred up shit in the crew with her DF and I bet the WG did shit too to try and divide them as well. Divide and conquer the mightiest crew with misinformation/gossip.
