I am a huge Zoro fan myself but mr Morj's video has me convinced that kaido won't die.

coz that's the thing which kaido wants the most & so that won't happen.

Far more importantly from the narrative introduction that Kaido had ; i am sure that Kaido being killed is more unlikely than someone 1 v 1 defeating kaido.

That said this is just the beginning of Zoro feats this arc & its gonna rain a lot more with Zoro Ashura Enma + Nidai etc.
Although whatever Zoro will accomplish feat wise this arc , Luffy will (he has to) top that by the end of this arc.

Enel got exactly what he wanted. As far as arguments go, "Kaido wants to die, therefore he wouldn't" is not at all persuasive. Speaking very frankly, it feels outright stupid to me. Your argument is that the villain character that explicitly seeks death, whose hobby is suicide, and for who death is an integral part of their character is less likely to die than is the default for villains in One Piece? Do you realise that you're claiming that Kaido would be more likely to actually die if:
  • He wasn't seeking death
  • His hobby wasn't suicide
  • He didn't have a deep character connection to the death
If Kaido is less likely to die because he wants death, then by conservation of expected evidence he must be more likely to die if he didn't want death. Do you understand just how plain idiotic that claim is? That a deep and profound character arc intertwined with death actually makes him less likely to die? Doesn't reading it out loud sound foolish?

I have not watched the video you're referring to, but: "Kaido wants to die therefore he wouldn't" makes elementary reasoning mistakes. It's a logical fallacy. Some arguments are unconvincing, some arguments are plain wrong, this argument? It's outright retarded.

I am not going to watch the video so don't bother linking it. Nothing in it is going to change the fact that the argument is logical nonsense.

To be clear, I don't mean to insult you or this Morj fella. You simply made an incoherent argument, so I was pointing out that the argument is incoherent. If someone told me they had a video proving 2 + 2 = 5, under Peano Arithmetic, I would rightly tell them that their argument is nonsense. Similarly, the argument you presented makes a logical error. Independent of how likely Kaido is to die, a character arc intertwined with death is not going to make him less likely to die.


i am sure that Kaido being killed is more unlikely than someone 1 v 1 defeating kaido.
Someone 1 vs 1 defeating Kaido is now impossible (P: 0). Kaido being killed is not (P: > 0), therefore the posterior probability on Kaido dying is greater than someone 1 vs 1 defeating him.


That said this is just the beginning of Zoro feats this arc & its gonna rain a lot more with Zoro Ashura Enma + Nidai etc.
I agree.

Nope. Zoro's feats are his own, and Luffy's his.

It is crystal clear that the odds are very high for ZKK to occur.

We do know that Zoro took the matters of Wano at heart, first claiming he wanted to revenge Yasu, pointing towards Orochi, then he affirmed he wants to kill Kaido, he meets Hiyori, receives Enma and ventures the realm of the Wano story even further.

Luffy doesn't compete when it comes to these heavy elements.
