Questions & Mysteries The meaning of Kaido's words in Chapter 993

[KiriNigiri]

I don't think it's important for Kaido to acknowledge Zoro. As Kin'emon insinuated -

Kaido's desires for death are partly as a means to achieve greatness in the eyes of others. However, he hasn't proven himself to be a man worthy of respect the way Roger, Newgate, or Oden have. As shown above, Kin'emon does not view Kaido as someone worthy of honor. Any praise Kaido hands Zoro will fall on deaf ears.

The "there will never be a monster samurai of his like again" was a tell for the readers. It's something they should keep in mind. If you've read One Piece for long enough, Zoro came to your mind once Kaido uttered the phrase.

Actions speak louder than words, after all. It takes a monster samurai to kill Kaido, per his words. If Zoro, who will likely be revealed to be of Wano descent, does that, then it settles as dramatic irony for Kaido.

 

[T.D.A]

Luffy and Zoro are pirates and not from Wano. There's no reason why Kaido would even view them as samurai.

 

[Zowo]

It could be Momonosuke. The feat doesn't have to be directly related to injuring Kaido, for him to be acknowledged.

If the theory of Momonosuke holding up Onigashima comes true, that should be sufficient enough for Kaido to acknowledge him. An 8 year old holding up an entire island shows where his potential lies.

This makes a ton of sense considering Momo is directly linked to the Scabbatds, and would prove Kaido wrong about him being a crybaby weakling and not even a fraction of the man his father was.

Zoro has literally been raised by wano natives and carries himself as a samurai from wano.

 

[T.D.A]

Kaido doesn't know any of that. He knows them as foreign pirates helping out the Wano samurai.

Luffy and Zoro are both surpassing Oden it doesn't need to be explicitly stated by Kaido saying "you are a great samurai like Oden or greater!"

You think that's something Oda, of all people, wouldn't do? Momonosuke is the son of Oden, heir to Wano, and was given a replica of the Strongest Zoan Devil Fruit in the World. He's clearly going to grow up to be a Samurai of Oden's caliber. Even Oden himself was considered a Monster when he was just a child.

But momo will have no feats as a samurai for kaido to say that. If momo does indeed match kaidos flames then it's not a feat of strength and is just magic fire.

But it would still show Kaido the potential Momonosuke would have, especially since Momo has a replica of his Devil Fruit. Kaido knows better than anyone just what kind of power that Devil Fruit holds.

Not to mention Big Mom and Kaido have already recognized the rooftop 5 as Monsters, but they don't view them as samurai. I don't think Zoro being revealed to be from Wano decent is going to change the perception of Kaido, that he is now a Samurai.

Narratively speaking it makes sense for the son of Oden to be the next Monster Samurai of Wano. Even if it doesn't happen for many years, acknowledging the potential alone should be enough.

I think that would fit perfectly to be honest. Momo acknowledged as a monster like his Father, and Zoro recognized as the savior of Wano like Ryuma. It's a win for both characters.
